Rumors said that Lucas was cold–blooded and ruthless. Tiara didn’t expect that he was so
warm and considerate in private.

took a bath cozily and changed her clothes. After changing the comfortable feminine hygiene products, she didn’t feel sick because of her menstrual period.
He was right. There was no need to hurry. She should have a good rest.
After a short snap, Lucas held her and she felt a sense of safety. They just held each other and fell asleep. Tiara felt happy and stable.
She slept for about an hour. After she woke up, she had many missed calls.
Darren was really anxious. The more anxious he was, the calmer she was.
She slowly changed into a white dress with no special design. It was a simple dress but

was suitable for her. She looked elegant and pretty.
Before she left, Lucas wrapped her waist and kissed her neck. “If it’s possible, I don’t want to let you go.”
“Whether you let me go, I’m yours.
Tiara wrapped his neck with her arms, stood on tiptoe, and kissed his face.
Suddenly, he grabbed her and kissed her passionately.
They kissed for so long, and Tiara slightly pushed him away. “Hmm… My lipstick…”
Lucas slowly let go of her and looked at her red lips. He wanted to kiss her again.
He kissed her and said, “Sean is waiting outside. If it’s done, come back early.”
“OK.” She nodded and turned to leave.
As she arrived at the venue, Darren, who was waiting for her, immediately came to her. He shouted, “What are you doing? I’ve called you

so many times, but you didn’t answer. Do you contact the staff of Newborn Perfume? Didn’t
I say it clearly? Do you know what you’re doing? You…”
Tiara raised her head and glanced at him coldly. Darren paused and couldn’t finish his
sentences.
“Since you’re here, come in now.”
Before they entered the venue, Darren repeated to her in the corridor, “I’ve told you before. You know what you should say today. If we can pass this, Wave Perfume can be better. Tiara, I know that you’re thoughtful. Today… I believe in you!”
Tiara just listened to him and kept smiling.
She didn’t reply. Darren was somewhat worried. He wanted to say something, but he had said what he should say.
Finally, he put his hands on her shoulders and got close to her. He whispered in a small voice that only the two could hear. “I believe in you, and you’d better not play tricks today.

Otherwise, don’t blame me for making things difficult for you.”
After that, he let go of his hands and stared at
her.
People around who didn’t know what happened might think he said sweet words.
Tiara stopped smiling, looked at him coldly, and turned to enter the venue.
As she entered, she narrowed her eyes because of the flashlights.
The reporters were all taking photos of Tiara. She paused for seconds and soon walked to the stage.
There was a row of tables in the front.
Several Wave Perfume’s senior officials sat at the end. The three middle seats were for Darren, Leticia, and Tiara.
Tiara thought, “Fine, the midmost seat. It’s suitable for me.”
She directly walked over and sat down.

Leticia had been there early. She glanced at Darren secretly. Darren gave her an “OK” gesture, and Leticia got relaxed.
Soon, the press conference started. Darren got to the point in the beginning.
“About the matter of the new perfume competition last night, I believe you all know about it. There are some misunderstandings. Thus, we hold a press conference here and want to explain it to all of you.
“The entry ‘First Love‘ is popular and receives a lot of praise. However, two companies claimed they were the original one, and the other party copied. The people involved are here. Let’s listen to them.”
Then, he handed the microphone to Leticia.
She wore a black strapless dress and looked domineering. Tiara wore a white dress. They looked so different.
Leticia was used to these occasions. She smiled faintly and said, “Hello, everyone, I’m the chief perfumer of Wave Perfume, Leticia

“The chief perfumer of Wave Perfume…” Tiara thought and looked down.
“About the matter last night, I believe many of you have known it. Mr. Fred also briefly introduced the situation. So, I won’t repeat it. I just want to tell you. Since I worked in this industry, I knew that besides talents, hard work is the most important. Only if you practice again and again can you have a chance to get what you want.
“If you just want to play tricks, even if you can gain something now, you won’t succeed in the end. Tiara, do you agree with it?”
In the end, Leticia even asked Tiara.
Sure enough, people all looked at Tiara and took photos. They were waiting for her reply.
Although Leticia didn’t directly blame Tiara, everyone knew what Leticia meant. Leticia was saying that she was the victim and Tiara was the thief to steal her idea.

Holding the microphone, Tiara didn’t speak immediately. She looked around the venue and glanced at the crowd.
Not far away, Darren was anxious and wanted to remind her. Finally, Tiara said, “Yeah, I agree with Ms. Trevelyan. Playing tricks is useless. Talent is important, but hard work is more important.”
The reporters kept taking photos. Tiara didn’t avoid them and just looked into the cameras.
Darren and Leticia were still smiling, but they were somewhat worried.
Tiara was just repeating Leticia’s words and even using the same expressions. However, they had a sense of premonition.
“Ms. Fowler, do you admit that you stole Ms. Trevelyan’s idea?” a reporter asked.
Hearing this, Tiara just smiled, “I don’t mean that.”
“Wow…”
The crowd was in an uproar.

They immediately aimed at Tiara with their cameras and wanted to ask for more details.
Darren’s face changed, and he turned to look at Tiara. He wondered if she really wanted to play tricks here.
