At this point, the office door swung open, and someone stepped inside from the outside.
"Professor Thompson."
"It's you?"
Thompson looked shocked.
"You..."
"Why? Am | not welcome?"
She cover with a half-smile on her face.However, one might think her smile was rather chilling.
"No, but when were you..."
Looking at her, Thompson was bewildered.
Having returned from overseas, Rhea Moore was in charge of another research program at the institute, and he knew her, too.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, he had not expected that she would be involved in his project.
"I've joined the research much earlier than you'd imagined, Professor Thompson," Rhea said, then walked over to the seat before
Mr.R and sat down, not showing the slightest qualm.
"She..."
Thompson looked toward Mr.R and then at Mike.It seemed that they all knew except him.
Suddenly, Thompson felt he had been kept in the dark and was upset.
"I was the one who proposed the program, and I've worked hard for it.You should at least consulton who to enlist for the
project, shouldn't you?"
"You're the one who proposed it, and you're the originator, but..."
After a pause, Mike glimpsed at him.
"Don’t forget, without the support of your boss and my funding, this project would be getting nowhere!"
‘In other words, you have no say in this"
Mike was being indirect.He might say they didn’t need his approval and could kick him out whenever they liked.
Thompson caught his drift.
Even though he was infuriated, he could only stomach the humiliation.
Rhea broke the ice.
"Professor Thompson, do you think I'm not qualified to join the project despite my background?"
"No, I've read your CV, and you have an excellent background.You're young and knowledgeable and have studied both mainstream
and herbal medicine, having gotten countless scholarships.However, you know nothing about raw materials.
"We're not performing surgery or researching a new herbal drug.Instead, we're studying the synthesis of raw materials and
medicinal herbs, which are not your areas of expertise.Besides, there's already an expert on medicinal herbs, and if we have to,
the person we need to get is someone with a background in perfumery."
He stated firmly that he would not allow her to participate in the project because she was unsuitable.
Not offended, Rhea curled her lips.
"Professor Thompson, how would you know that | know nothing about raw materials? How do you know that this isn’t my area of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmexpertise? Also, the expert in medicinal herbs you're referring to is Austin Fike, right? "How do you figure my research on medicinal
herbs won't be as good as his?"
Her tone was casual yet filled with confidence.
Thompson was puzzled for a moment.
"You know about raw materials too?"
Rhea smiled while Mike said, "Professor Thompson, you kept talking about wanting to look for someone who has done in-depth
studies on raw materials and perfumery, yet you know little about perfumers.just so you know, Rhea’s middle nis Kelly."
Thompson looked bewildered.
Mike laughed, as if he had anticipated this response.
"It's no wonder Professor Thompson hasn't heard of the name.Few people within the perfumery industry know about Kelly, let
alone outsiders.The perfumes she creates are daring and avant-garde and not available to ordinary people because she only
custom- makes them for royalty and international movie stars.
"One can say the perfumes she makes are unique, and she’s in a different league than other ordinary perfumers.Even the creators
of those branded perfumes could not achieve what she’s done."
‘In other words, she’s not just an expert but one of the best.Perhaps she’s even better than Lily to a certain degree?’
