Spoiled by Mr. Russell

Chapter 103

“Oh?” Frank raised his brows, waiting for her to continue.

“I‘m sure you know that a slight difference in the usage of ingredients will produce different results. Lily changed the formula first and even asked her assistant to make other changes secretly. Also, I haven‘t been feeling well and got a runny nose, so they took advantage of that. We had no choice but to trouble you, Mr. Moreau,” Melanie explained, her gaze lowered the whole time, and it looked like she was on the verge of tears. She looked upset, and that look of hers would make people take pity on her. Frank watched her while his fingers tapped the table gently. They did not know what was on his mind nor how much he believed Melanie‘s words.

Nathaniel came back to his senses and supported Melanie. “She‘s right. Mr. Moreau, Mel has been working too hard because of the company‘s problems recently, making her sick because of exhaustion. Lily found out about this and took the opportunity to strike. Our factory received many orders from our clients, so if we can‘t complete the orders on time due to this problem, the company will be in a dangerous state!”

“Okay. Let‘s head to the lab and check it out,” Frank finally said after wiping the corner of his lips with the napkin.

Melanie and Nathaniel breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing what Frank said. Since he promised to help, there was hope for them to solve this issue. His attitude earlier scared them because it looked like he was going to withdraw himself from the situation. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Without further ado, Nathaniel got up and paid the bills. Then, the trio headed straight for the lab.

Over the past few days, the lab‘s staff spent their entire day there. It was not because they were incompetent but because this was a tricky matter. Even if they discovered the difference in the

ingredients used, they still needed to know the exact amount used; otherwise, the result would still differ.

Non–perfumers would not realize the difference in the fragrance, but those who used perfumes daily, especially their loyal customers, would notice the difference. If something were to go wrong, that would tarnish the brand‘s reputation. It had not been an easy journey for MN Inc. to make a name for itself. If someone ruined their name, there was no way for them to salvage the situation.

The trio checked up on all the different labs, and without a doubt, there was no progress. When they entered the next lab, they saw that it was empty. No one was there.

“Where‘s Olivia?” Melanie pointed to the lab, instantly knowing who should have been there.

“Olivia said... she was too iired, so she headed home to rest,” one of the staff said cautiously.

“Does she know that we‘re in a critical situation now? How could she still rest at this time? Does she even take her job and the company seriously?” Melanie rebuked angrily.

Next to her, Nathaniel said faintly, “You don‘t need to get so riled up. Since she‘s so irresponsible, there‘s no point for us in keeping her here. Just fire her. It‘s as easy as that.

We‘ll discuss this later since it‘s just a small matter.”

Then, he turned toward Frank “Mr. Moreau, since this lab is vacant, shall we just use it?” Frank said nothing and just walked into the lab. “Where‘s the essential oil?” he asked after looking around Nathaniel waved to his assistant quickly. “Bring the essential oil here now!”

Soon, the essential was brought over and placed before Frank. He asked again, “Where‘s the formula?”

This time, the staff member immediately placed the formula and the finished product from the previous batch alongside the analysis done thus far in front of Frank
