Mr. Powell Is Hunting for His Wife

Chapter 31: An Invitation from Hillvie

“The Necklace…” Mrs. Hill muttered.

What a good name for perfume. It displayed Mr. and Mrs. Hill’s past in its scents. Anna, the perfumer, was talented, and she could probably achieve more if given time.

Mr. and Mrs. Hill exchanged glances, then looked at Diana with an impressed look.

“I have a question, Ms. Miller. You made such an excellent perfume just to give it to us?”

Mrs. Hill asked Diana a tough question. Diana smiled and blinked her eyes.

“Mrs. Hill, I am the perfumer for the Powell Group. Everything I do is entirely for the benefit of the company. The Powell Group has the best retail and distribution chain in Sliwell City, and it might even be the best of the whole country. We could achieve more in terms of profit and benefits for both companies if we could collaborate with a big international brand like Hillvie.”

There were sparks of confidence in Diana’s eyes.

Mrs. Hill pursed her lips and was deep in thoughts.

Mrs. Hill then smiled after a few seconds. She looked back and forth between Diana and Brooklyn.

I see.

“Ms. Miller, I like your perfume very much. My husband too. We will further discuss the collaboration with Mr. Powell in the future. I’m sure it will be a smooth endeavour.”

Diana felt relieved. She took a peek at the man beside her.

Brooklyn looked calm as if he already knew how would Mr. and Mrs. Hill react.

“Is that alright, Mr. Powell?”

Brooklyn smiled and nodded, “Of course, Mrs. Hill.”

“One more thing. I wish to talk to Ms. Miller in private,” Mrs. Hill blinked at Diana.

What did Mrs. Hill want to talk to her? Diana was confused, but she reacted in time. She smiled politely at Mrs. Hill.

Mrs. Hill liked the intelligent girl in front of her.

“Ms. Miller, I’m wondering, have you given any thoughts about entering the fashion industry?”

Diana stunned and shook her head the next second, “No, I haven’t.”

Mrs. Hill sounded tender as if she was talking to her own child, “I appreciate your talent. You produced a rich perfume at such a young age. This is definitely not something I see every day. If you use your talent in the fashion industry, you could come up with attires that make women happy, and you could also help to increase the brand quality of Hillvie. As one of the founders of Hillvie, I hereby extend my invitation. Ms. Miller, would you join Hillvie?”

Everyone in the fashion industry wished to join Hillvie someday.

Nobody could resist an invitation to join Hillvie.

Diana had to admit that she was tempted.

If she joined Hillvie, her value and reputation as a perfumer will be increased.

Even the Moss family couldn’t affect her value and reputation by then.

Diana took a glance at Brooklyn. Too bad she met Brooklyn.

Brooklyn was the key to both her success and failure.

If Diana hadn’t met Brooklyn, she wouldn’t become a perfumer.

After Diana became a perfumer, she wanted to return to Sliwell City and take everything back from Mirabelle.

Brooklyn too took a glance at Diana quietly.

Brooklyn couldn’t see what Diana’s was thinking.

Diana put down her wine glass after a few minutes and said, “Mrs. Hill, thank you for your invitation. I like Hillvie very much, and I agreed with the value of your company. However, my current focus would be on the Powell Group. This is an interesting company. I hope to produce more perfumes that suit the Sliwell citizen’s likings in the Powell Group.”

Mr. and Mrs. Hill felt resigned.

They both like this young girl in front of them.

Mr. Hill remained silent all along, but he knew Mrs. Hill really liked Diana, so he voiced out, “Ms. Miller, we felt truly sorry that you couldn’t accept our invitation. However, this offer will always be eligible. You can always come to us as soon as you changed your mind.”

Mr. Hill took out his name card and passed it to Diana, “Reach out for us if you ever need help. We will assist you within our capabilities. We wish your perfume always full of vitality.”

Diana took Mr. Hill’s name card and gave him hers as an exchange.

It was out of Diana’s expectation. Initially, she only wanted to get a foothold in the Powell Group with this perfume.

The Powell Group was the only competitor for the Moss Group perfume industry in Sliwell City.

And another person Diana wanted to take revenge on was the daughter of the Moss Group.

Diana never expected that Mr. and Mrs. Hill liked ‘The Necklace’ so much. Mrs. Hill even suggested, “Ms. Miller, you didn’t join Hillvie, but we would love to use the perfume you made, ‘The Necklace’, as the inspiration for the coming Hillvie Haute Couture Spring Collection. Haute Couture and perfume, they are a perfect match! It will become a new trend and extend a new market. Don’t worry about the dividend. I will assign somebody from my Finance Department to talk to you. If you have questions about profit dividend…”

Mrs. Hill chuckled and looked at Brooklyn, “You could ask Mr. Powell.”

Diana remained silent.

Brooklyn was such a busy person. How would he have time to help her out with the contract?

After the private dinner, Diana planned to take a cab back home after coming out of the washroom.

Diana took her phone out and wanted to order a cab to come to pick her up from the TS Restaurant. She accidentally bumped into the person in front of her.

“Ouch,” Diana covered her nose with her hands.

What was this person made of? Iron? © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Diana rubbed her nose and was about to get mad. She looked up and saw Brooklyn staring at her.

Damn, why did she bumped into her boss?

“Mr. Powell, you’re still here.”

Brooklyn took a glance at Diana.

Diana’s face was flushed red under the lights.

Diana drank quite a lot of expensive wine tonight.

Those weren’t hard liquor, but people may still be drunk if they drank too much.

Brooklyn leaned on the doorframe with his hand in his pocket. He looked cosy.

“Why didn’t you take Mrs. Hill’s offer?”

Brooklyn was interested in her answer.

An invitation from Hillvie was irresistible for everyone in the fashion industry.

Why did Anna turn Mrs. Hill down?

Diana blinked.

Why, why were there a few Brooklyn standing in front of her?

Was she drunk?
