Chapter 583
The man was surprised because Lily was supposed to be in the courtyard. The gate was locked, and
the walls were nearly five meters high. ‘Did she fly out of there?‘
On the other hand, Lily was so focused on the raw material before her that she did not notice the
others.
“Here’s the deposit if you don’t believe me.” Lily took out her purse and a small stack of cash, stuffing it
into Kasey’s hand. “You can give me your address, and I will drop by one day. Let’s sign an
agreement.”
When the youngsters noticed Lily’s seriousness, they could not hide their surprise. However, they still
found it ridiculous.
“Congratulations, Kasey! You found someone that appreciates your little grass!” The girl next to Kasey
patted her on the shoulder with a hint of mockery in her voice.
However, Lily could not care less. If everyone could identify raw goods so quickly, there would not be
so few perfumers around, and if others easily recognized raw materials like these, they wouldn’t be
considered rare.
In any case, this was a rewarding trip for Lily. She carefully put away the box, and just as she turned to
leave, Kasey stopped her.
“Wait!” Kasey stood in her way and urged, “Tell them! Tell them how rare this type of grass is. They just
don’t know anything, do they?” Still, this high–spirited young girl did not want to admit defeat.
When Lily looked up and scanned the room, she noticed everyone’s eyes were on her. After realizing
she was the center of attention, she began feeling uneasy.
Lily let out a light cough and said, “I believe everyone has their preferences. I think this smells good, so
I’d like to buy it. If you think it’s good, why should you care what others think?”
“What do you mean?!” Kasey did not want to back off. “Only professionals will know how to appreciate
what this grass can provide. They don’t, but you do! Didn’t you say you’re a perfumer? Tell them how
ridiculous they are for not knowing this!”
Lily felt helpless. She was only there to buy the raw material from Kasey. Lily did not want to teach
anyone or give any professional opinions.
“As I said, everyone has their preferences. You can’t make everyone like what you like. It’s like how
some people prefer the sweetness of osmanthus, while some prefer the freshness of citrus. Some even
enjoy the coolness of mint. I bought your grass because we both enjoy this smell and because you
want to sell it. That’s all.”
Lily felt that this was a straightforward exchange. She did not understand why Kasey had to complicate
it.
However, not everyone would think like her, especially this stubborn girl. Kasey shoved the money back
into Lily’s hands and snatched the box back. “If that’s the case, I’m not selling it!”
Lily was stunned. ‘What?! How can she do that? Where’s the integrity in this?!‘
“All right, I think I understand what’s going on. You brought this woman here to be your support!”
“You’re so committed that you’d go to the extent of hiring someone to help you, huh? However, your
actress doesn’t seem very good, and she’s not cooperating with you.”
Kasey’s eyes began to twitch in anger when she heard that. “That’s bullsh*t! I don’t need any support! I
didn’t hire her!”
“Really?” One of the boys from the group sneered and scanned Lily from head to toe. “You said you’re
a perfumer, aren’t you? Will you dare to compete with me?”
These 18- and 19–year–olds were children in Lily’s eyes. Why would she compete with children?
“I’m here to buy things, not to compete.” She did not want to waste more time here and turned to Kasey
again. “Little girl, you promised to sell it to me. You must keep your word when it comes to business.
You can’t just go back on your words like that.”
“I am retracting my offer! I don’t want to sell it!” Kasey exclaimed. Then she looked around and
continued, “I will only sell it to you if you can prove to them that I did not pay you and that you’re a real
perfumer. Once they admit defeat, I’ll sell it to you!”
