Rachel walked into the company boldly with confidence with a bright smile plastered on her face, she was beyond happy at her achievement, she knew this was her moment her dreams would finally come true, everybody watched her with curiosity, while some were very much jealous of her. She didn't seem to care not allowing it to bother her, as she waltzed straight towards the elevator,

"Do you think she was able to complete it?" One of the staff asked her friend.

"What do you think?, when she's all smiles and her confidence is suffocating us all '' she replied sarcastically.

She got to the elevator as she stood waiting for the door to open. Lydia walked up to her with a fake smile on her face.

"Good morning miss Rachel" she said as she walked up to her.

"Good morning to you too, Miss Lydia, it's nice to see you this morning, " she replied with a Genuine smile.

- there's nothing good about this morning. Let 's see how long that smile of yours stays on, once I ruin your sweet perfume, and then you will be faced with criticism, then you'll know your place, she spoke in her mind.

"I can see you're very happy, I assume your perfume was a success" she asked, poking the still waters.

"Yes, it was, after serval sleepless night I finally made it"

"Wow, I'm really happy for you, you just saved us from a crisis" she said and she pretended to push and drag her bag spilling every contents in it.

"Ouch" Rachel exclaimed as she bent to pick her stuff, looking at Lilly cautiously.

"Oh my," she bent to help Rachel gather her stuff, "I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to, I have been feeling dizzy lately".

"it alright try to get some rest" she stands up and heads into the elevator. "I'll see later".

"Of course" she said with a wolfish smile on her face as the elevator door closed.

In Zech's office, he was seated and reading through some files, trying to find ways to solve the problem at hand when a call from an unknown person came in.

"Hello" he spoke rather coldly.

"Oliver it me," a female voice was heard from the other side of the call.

"Who" he asked plainly.

"It's me Becky, don't you remember my voice, anyways please I want us to meet and talk", she said hesitantly.

"No" he said in an angry tone, as he cut the call, a knock was heard from the door, "come in".

Rachel walked into the office in a blue gown with a slit at the back and a matching black bag with flat shoes, she stood opposite him.

"You may sit", he said without taking his eyes off her.

"Thank you" she walked to sit at the chair opposite him.

"Has there been any progress lately, as you know your three days are up" he said with expectations in his heart, but not showing on his face.

She smiled first before replying him, "Yes, I have finally complete my masterpiece, it my first complete work in a few months"

A small smile curved on my face but I quickly masked it, "I'll be the judge of that, can I have the perfume now".

"Let's head to the R&D department, I'll give it to you there".

Zech didn't say a word and just stood up, with Rachel following behind him after a few minutes they had arrived at the floor, she opened her bag and gave it to him directly without checking it, facing the floor and she played with her fingers nervously.

Zech took the perfume and opened it, immediately his face constructed into one of anger, as he turned and smacked the bottle on the ground, due to the foul smell from the bottle.

Rachel raises her head up due to the sound and, seeing a black smoke emitting from the smacked perfume bottle on the ground, she Immediately sounded out her thoughts. "This is mine".

The smells circulated everywhere, everyone covered their nose due to the foul odor. Rachel stared at everybody with shock in her eyes , she couldn't believe what was happening. Her moment to shine was just over. Her dreams were gone.

"Then who's the owner?" Zech said with plain anger laced in his voice, she was ripped from her thoughts by his cold voice, he was trying hard to control his anger that he turned away from her.

"I… I don't know but, this is not my perfume", she said as tears threatened to fall from her beautiful eyes, everybody was staring at her with disappointment, those that hated her whispered ill about her. Lydia took the opportunity and stepped out from the crowd, ready to condemn her.

"Miss Rachel, I thought you said you had succeeded, or did you just want to make fun of our boss and embarrass him, maybe you're a spy". she said those words incredulously.

"No! no I wouldn't do that", she tried to defend herself but nobody was listening to her.

"Lydia it has not gotten to that, don't accuse her when there is no evidence," he turned to Rachel, "Rachel tell me what happened", he asked as walked towards her.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean for this to happ.." , she tried to explain but was interrupted by Zechs cold voice.

"Get Out" Zech said In a low, cold voice, as his eyes changed from their normal color.

Rachel rushed and ran towards the elevator before her tears trickled down her eyes. She could faintly hear Vincent call her name, but her mind was clouded with pain.

Vincent walked towards Zech patting his shoulder, "calm down, your aura is suffocating your staffs"

Zech turned and saw his employees cowering in fear, "Dismiss" he said and walked away, though his anger had dissipated a little, but he couldn't fathom why he was this angry with her.

Lydia walked away with a satisfied look on her face.
