The emcee asked as he looked at Natalie and Faye, "Who among the two ladies would proceed first?"
Natalie simply looked at Faye, only to get an obvious reaction and reply from her.
"Let Natalie go first. What if there is something wrong with those things, and I can’t make the perfume? I need to see if they are the right things to put on the table," Faye said smugly. She was playing it safe. Natalie, if you have planned something, it’s not going to work today. I am not an idiot.
"Alright!" Natalie said and stood up while John took the half-empty glass of juice from her. Natalie went to the table and stood in front of it, ready to work.
"Wait, what if you have hidden something in your jacket, something that’s needed to create perfume, and you have not put it on the table but hidden? Knowing how shrewd you are, you can... do... anything..."
Natalie offered her an icy glare, which made Faye shut her mouth. "Faye, if you are a true perfume maker, you can identify any chemical needed to create it without even having labels on it. And if that formula is truly yours, you can see if anything is missing here. What are you so nervous about?"
Faye was left baffled, but she as usual replied stubbornly, "I don’t trust you anymore. If you can steal my formula, you can do anything. But why are you so offended when I simply asked you to remove your jacket? Is it that you are truly hiding anything in it?"
Natalie proceeded to remove her jacket, when Mia stood behind her and helped her take it off. Natalie spoke, "Yes, I am indeed hiding something in my jacket."
Faye smiled, "See..."
"Your brain," Natalie interrupted her. "Your brain which you left behind in your mother’s womb when she gave birth to you. I have that brain in the pocket of my jacket. Want it? I will give it to you for free."
Hearing this, a laughter echoed in the hall.
Faye was utterly angry, but had no counterattack.
All the reporters were having fun recording it. Even the people who were watching it on their TV or other gadget’s screens could not help but laugh and comment.
"This woman has a sharp tongue. No one can beat her."
"True. We have seen her before talking to the reporters, and every time she left all of them speechless."
"Could it be that Natalie is wrongly framed this time? Her calmness and confidence show she did nothing wrong."
"We will know soon. If the other party can hire lawyer Shawn, that means Faye has strong backing as well."
Mia sighed, her eyes almost carrying hearts as she looked at her friend. If I was a man, I would have proposed to her right now, right here. My goddess-like beautiful friend.
I can do it. I have worked under Natalie and created perfumes many times. I am one of the top students in my university and known for my skills. I can surely do it.
