Chapter 558
After a moment of hesitation, Lily strode over to the car. The door swung open, and she stepped inside,
nodding politely in Eloise’s direction.
She was unsure if Nathaniel’s mysterious mother knew about their relationship. It did not matter anywa
y, as everything was in the past. Facing this past potential mother–in–
law, she felt only calm and nothing else.
Meanwhile, Eloise had been observing Lily. She had a unique youthful vibe and smelled lovely. The sce
nt was not strong nor the usual fruity smell loved by many girls. It smelled natural, but there was also a
trace of fragrance Eloise could not name. After smelling the scent Lily carried, Eloise felt her frustration
subdued, and she was less anxious, too.

of finding a proper place for us to talk. In fact, this is the most suitable place for you,” Lily said, looking
out the window.
Her words made Eloise smirk. “You’re smart.”
After all, Eloise was the most famous actress of her time. Even after she retired from the industry and
married a wealthy man, there would still be paparazzi on her tail no matter where she went.
Over the years, nothing much had been captured as Eloise had been on guard and taken proper preca
utions whenever she was out. However, the paparazzi were getting smarter, and she never knew wher
e they would hide.
The talk Eloise wanted to have with Lily was definitely not meant to be overheard by anyone else.
“Drive slower,” Eloise ordered and pressed a button, raising the divider between the front and back seat
s, creating a private space for them to talk.
Eloise’s car was a Toyota Alphard, and there was ample space for them to converse comfortably. She t
ook out two cans of drink from the mini fridge and handed one over to Lily. Lily shook her head. “Thank
s. I don’t need it.”
“I know a little about perfumers, and you guys greatly value and protect your sense of smell. Don’t worr
y. This is just soda water and not alcohol. It’s good for your health if consumed in appropriate volumes.”
Eloise paused and chuckled before continuing, “You’re not thinking I’ll use dirty tricks on you, are you?
”
Lily averted her gaze to the can of soda water. Then, she took it and opened the can before taking a s
mall sip. After that, she just held the can in her hand.

ow to start the conversation. At least, that was how it seemed.
“I’m sure Mr. Will told you why I wanted to talk to you.
I want you to create a type of perfume, just for me exclusively.” Looking at Lily, Eloise got straight to the
point. “Just tell me how much it’ll cost. I’ll make sure you’re satisfied.”
“Sorry, I can’t do that. Mrs. Tanner, perhaps you might need to find someone else, a more skillful perfu
mer, to help you with your request.” Lily rejected Eloise on the spot, which would
be easier than rejecting Eloise with the company’s help.
Eloise’s gaze flickered. “Why? You have ill feelings toward me?”
“Of course not,” Lily said. “To me, a perfumer would need to understand their customers well, from their
