?Chapter 486:
Marissa gently opened her lips. Before she could utter a word, Araceli froze in nervousness, her face paling visibly. It was clear she had endured many harsh criticisms from Ernst, leaving hercking in self-confidence.
Feeling sympathy for the innocent girl, Marissa ced aforting hand on her shoulder.
“Araceli, your perfume is truly excellent. With your talent, you could be a professional perfumer.”
“Uh… What?” Araceli stared at Marissa in disbelief for a long moment before regaining herposure. “Tiffany, you’re not joking, right?”
“No, I’m serious,” Marissa reassured her with a smile. “I mean every word. You have a real talent for perfumery.”
Despite Marissa’s encouragement, Araceli still struggled with self-doubt. “Really? Am I really that good?”
She took the perfume bottle back from Marissa and smelled it herself. After a moment of contemtion, she murmured, “I do like it a lot.”

Then, with a self-deprecating shrug, she added, “I like it, but so what? I can’t get validation from a professional.”
Araceli sighed, smiling warmly at Marissa. “Thank you, Tiffany. I know you’re trying to make me feel better. The fact that you don’t dislike my perfume means a lot to me.”
Marissa pondered how to restore Araceli’s confidence. Patiently, she replied, “Araceli, I wasn’t just trying to make you feel better. I genuinely believe what I said.”
Araceli looked surprised for a moment. “But Tiffany, neither of us is a professional perfumer. Our opinions don’t really matter unless we get approval from the experts.”
Marissa raised an eyebrow, thinking to herself that if she wasn’t professional, then who was?
Silver Fox’s Minty Fragrances and Perfumes was renowned worldwide. Many of their perfumes were widely loved across countries, contributing to their booming business. How did Silver Fox’s family business achieve such remarkable sess?
It wasrgely due to Minty Fragrances and Perfumes having two top perfumers, whose perfumes elevated Minty Fragrances and Perfumes from a small business to a top one in the industry.
The two perfumers were named E and Elin. They were globally acimed, winning numerous international awards, and were revered as idols among perfumers worldwide. Except for Silver Fox’s grandmother, no one was aware that Marissa was actually E, and Silver Fox was Elin.
To make Araceli believe herments, Marissa asserted confidently, “I possess extensive knowledge of perfumes. You can trust my assessment as professional.”
“Seriously, Tiffany?” Araceli’s eyes widened with excitement. “Are you not only good at painting but also an expert in perfumes?”
“Yes, I am,” Marissa answered.
Araceli beamed at the confirmation. “Tiffany, you mentioned I have the potential to pursue a career in perfumery. Was that genuine? Have I truly reached the professional level?”
“Yes,” Marissa assured her. “With your current skill, you can indeed pursue a career as a perfumer. While I can’t guarantee eptance into a majorpany like Minty Fragrances and Perfumes, smaller or medium-sized firms should wee you.”
“Well,” Araceli asked, “what about apany like Hinks Perfumes?”
Hinks Perfumes was established by Silver Fox’s biological mother. Following her illness and subsequent passing, ownership of thepany was transferred to Silver Fox’s father. Currently, Silver Fox’s stepmother oversaw its operations.
Marissa, influenced by her friendship with Silver Fox, refrained from any positive remarks about Hinks Perfumes. She firmly believed that only perfumers with admirable personalities could craft exceptional scents. If a perfumercked this quality, their creations were mere poison.
Thus, she asserted, “Araceli, Hinks Perfumes doesn’t deserve you.”
Araceli’s eyes brightened further. She tightened her fists slightly and eximed, “That’s wonderful!”
From Araceli’s demeanor and words, Marissa discerned her grievances against Hinks Perfumes and her numerous frustrations. Perplexed, Marissa casually inquired, “Do you hold any grievances against Hinks Perfumes?”
