I was pressed against the wall. In front of me was a handsome face of Penn. He squinted dangerously and approached me.

When we were about to kiss, I suddenly woke up and broke out in a cold sweat.

Because of that dream, I almost didn't sleep all night.

The second morning, with eyebags, I sat at the table and had breakfast with the two kids.

"Mommy, didn't you sleep well last night?" Aviva asked in a sweet voice.

I was a little stunned, and then I thought of the dream again. After a few seconds, I smiled as if nothing had happened. "Well, I accidentally read the files too late yesterday."

The two kids have always been sensitive. I was afraid that they would ask me more. After saying that, I pretended to eat and lowered my head.

The two kids didn't ask any more questions. They just said, "Mommy, don't be too tired. Take good care of yourself!"

I nodded with a smile.

After breakfast, I'll take the two kids to Daphne to get the car.

"Pick whatever you like. " Daphne took us to the garage, with a bunch of car keys in her hand.

The two kids were young, but they knew a lot of famous cars. When they saw the cars in the garage, they clapped their hands and said, "godmother, you are so generous!"

I went inside and found a Mercedes Benz worth about one million at a medium price.

Daphne gave me the key without hesitation.

I'll drive the two kids to school after I get the car.

"Bye, Mommy! Don't be too tired!"

After getting off the car, the two kids said goodbye obediently.

I touched their heads and said, "you too. Be good at school. Mommy will pick you up tonight."

The two kids nodded and entered the school side by side.

Seeing their backs disappear from my sight, I turned around and got in the car. Then I started the car and slowly left the school gate.

Penn's pov

The car stopped at the gate of the kindergarten.

I sat in the back seat and watched Bill get out of the car. He opened the back door and carefully carried Lundy out of the car.

Lundy stood on the ground, turned around and waved at me.

" go inside." I touched his head and said gently.

Lundy nodded and walked into the kindergarten.

Looking at Lundy's back, I felt a little suspicious.

Lundy looked much happier than usual today.

Perhaps it was because he had spent more time with other kis in the kindergarten that he was more relax.

It seemed that what the psychologist said was right. If the little boy had more contact with his pals, his autism would be slowly relieved.

Seeing that Lundy was picked up by the teacher, I withdrew my sight and said to Bill, "let's go."

When I arrived at the company, I attended the high-level meeting immediately.

More than an hour had passed when the meeting was over.

I went straight back to my office.

"Penn, you're back."

As soon as I entered, I heard Bonnie's voice.

Hearing this, I frowned slightly.

Bonnie in a black suit standing in front of my desk with a smile. It seemed that she had been waiting for a while.

"When did you come here?"

I strode to the desk and glanced at the documents on it. Finally, my eyes fell on Bonnie's face.

Bonnie also sat down and smiled gently. "I just arrived. I heard from Bill that you were in a meeting."

Then she looked at the corner of my mouth and asked, "is your mouth... Hurt?"

When I thought of what happened yesterday, there was a touch of displeasure in my eyes, and my tone was cold. "It's just that I accidentally bit it. There's no need to make a fuss."

"What's the matter?" I asked coldly.

Bonnie smiled and said, "yes, I do have some business to deal with. The project we cooperated before is about to be signed, so I come to confirm with you if there are any other conditions. Besides, my parents want to invite you to dinner tonight. Uncle and aunt are also here. I wonder if you have time."

I glanced at her, frowned slightly, and said in a very cold tone, "please tell Uncle and aunt that I have a social engagement tonight, and I don't have time to attend the banquet."

She looked at me with an aggrieved face and said, "Penn, I've been waiting for you for six years. How can a woman have so many six years? Of course I'm willing to wait for you. But if we are destined to be together, why are you still unwilling to get married? At the very beginning, you should let the elders at home rest assured, right? We have planned the marriage from the beginning, why..."

"I did promise to give you an engagement."

I interrupted her question coldly, "but you should be very clear about where this promise comes from. In my opinion, the Carter family has made enough compensation to the Hunter family in all aspects over the years, and even far exceeded the value of this engagement. No one will say anything about this engagement, even if we don't fufill it."

After saying that, I ignored Bonnie's reaction.

At that time, the reason why I decided to marry Bonnie was to repay her grandfather for saving my life.

Because of this, I have a close relationship with the Hunter family. Therefore, when the elders proposed to let me marry my Bonnie, I accepted it noncommittally.

I even felt that Bonnie was the goddess in my heart.

It was not until six years ago that I realized that my love for Bonnie was not the love I imagined.

After that, the elders of the two families urged me many times to complete the marriage as soon as possible, but I found an excuse to put it off.

In the past six years, I have tried my best to provide convenience to the Hunter family and agreed to all their business requests, just to repay the favor of saving my life in the past.

Now, in my opinion, the debt of gratitude is enough.

At least, there was no need to fulfill this marriage.

"Penn.."

I pressed between my eyebrows and interrupted her calmly, "put down the documents. I'll read them later. I have work to do. If there's nothing else, you can leave now."

Aimee's POV

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

I will go to the place appointed with the material supplier with Dexter from the Research Institute.

On the way, it suddenly occurred to me that I hadn't had the chance to know the situation of the cooperative partner yet, so I asked Dexter, "what's the specific situation of the supplier we signed?"

As the director of the Research Institute, if I know nothing about the suppliers, they may think that our attitude is not good enough when we sign the contract later, which will inevitably affect the cooperation.

Dexter introduced the materials to me in detail, "this supplier is very large-scale in the River City. The family runs the production of incense materials. On the other hand, the price of this supplier is relatively fair. In addition, our research institute has a great influence overseas. They know that they want to make friends with us, and their attitude is also good. You can rest assured."

Hearing this, I nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. "I know several big suppliers of River City. According to you, the one who signed the contract with us today should be one of them. Which one is it?"

Dexter said, "the Hunter family."

I was stunned.

The Hunter family?

As far as I know, there is only one medical business in the River City whose surname is Hunter.

And I happened to have a grudge against.

Thinking of this, I frowned slightly. I just hope that I won't be so unlucky to meet the person I don't want to see the most.

After a while, we arrived at the coffee shop.

The suppliers hadn't arrived yet.

Dexter and I sat down first and ordered two cups of coffee, waiting for the other party.

About ten minutes later, someone knocked on the door.

"Here you are."

Dexter cheered up and said to me.

I nodded, stood up and said, "come in, please."

After a while, the door was pushed open and a man's voice came in. "Sorry, we are late."

I raised my eyes and looked forward. As a result, I met Bonnie.

Bonnie widened his eyes in astonishment. His voice was a little shrill because of excitement. "You... Aimee? Why are you here?"

Dexter asked friendly, "Miss Hunter, do you know Aimee?"

Bonnie's face changed again. "Aimee?"

"This is the director general of our research institute, Aimee. Knowing that we signed the contract today, she specially came with me to show our sincerity." Dexter introduced.

Looking at the sullen Bonnie, I asked bluntly, "Miss Hunter, are you going to continue our cooperation?"

Bonnie's face turned cold and her eyes became playful. "Of course, Mr. Finger has been working with us for so long for this contract. I won't let his efforts be in vain."

As soon as he finished speaking, he called the waiter and ordered four more cups of coffee.

"I really want to cooperate with you, but I don't think the price we discussed before is appropriate. Today, Aimee, the general manager, is here. I hope we can talk about the price again."

Bonnie wore a professional smile, but his eyes were full of coldness.

"Miss Hunter?"

"I hope to raise the original price by two points."

"Two points higher?" Dexter was stunned. "Miss Hunter, didn't we reach an agreement before? Now that we are going to sign the contract, why do you suddenly raise the price?"

Crossing her legs leisurely, Bonnie said in a lesuired tone, "yes, it's a deal. But the price of the materials has generally increased this year. If we still sign the contract with you at the original price, we will suffer a lot. I hope Mr. Finger can understand."

What he said sounded reasonable.

Dexter frowned and wanted to say something, but I stopped him.

"I think the Miss Hunter wants to raise the price just because he saw me. I know the price of the materials market very well. If you want to raise the price, we can talk about it. But it's unreasonable to raise the price by two points at one time."

I wanted to deal with it as a matter of fact, but it was obvious that the other party was deliberately making difficulties for me, so there was no need for me to tolerate it.

Bonnie said coldly, "no matter what the reason is, we are asking this price now. If you two think it's not appropriate, our group is not short of this deal."

"In that case, I'll just take it as the waste of our time today. A company like the Hunter Group has broken its promise. Even if we cooperate, we won't feel at ease."

Then I stood up and said to Dexter, "let's go."

Dexter nodded and walked out of the cafe with me.

"Is there any conflict between you and Bonnie?"

I don't want to recall what happened in the past, so I simply replied, "sort of."

Seeing that I didn't want to say anything more, Dexter didn't ask more. Instead, he turned to talk about the supplier and said, "we won't cooperate with the Hunter Group. We have to find another supplier."

I nodded and said, "then look for it. The River City is so big. There are always other suppliers who are willing to cooperate with us except the Hunter Group."

"Okay." Dexter nodded with a smile.

Penn's POV

The Carter Group.

"Sir, I have found the news about the man with Miss Miller last night."

Hearing this, I put aside my work. Thinking of the back of Aimee who left with a strange man last night, my eyes darkened. "Who is he?"

"That man's name is Dexter, and he is in charge of the Moonlight. The Sharp family's Felton Sharp, had asked him to customize."

He raised his head and looked at me. "Besides, I found that Dexter is still single. Miss Miller has nothing to do with him. Miss Miller is also a doctor in college. Maybe they know each other at school."

Hearing this possibility, my face softened slightly. "Other than this, have you found anything else?"

Bill looked a little embarrassed. "That's all we can find out at present. As for Miss Miller, we only know that she just came back. We can't find anything about her abroad for the time being."

I frowned and felt a little dissatisfied. But since I haven't found it out, it's useless for me to ask more. Then I turned to Felton Sharp and asked, "how is Mr. Sharp now?"

"Mr. the situation of Sharp is not optimistic. The Sharp family has invited almost all famous doctors at home and abroad, but they are all helpless about his situation."

I nodded slightly. "Cancel all the social engagements for me tomorrow night. I'll go to see Mr. Sharp tomorrow night."

"Yes, sir."

Bill replied and left.

Aimee's POV

As soon as Dexter and I returned to the Research Institute, we began to contact the suppliers of materials in River City.

Because the incense making materials were not available, many projects in the research institute were still put aside. If it went on like this, the loss would only be greater and greater.

The cooperation with suppliers couldn't be delayed any longer.

"The Moonlight? Didn't we talk about it before? The price you offered is too low. We can't cooperate with you!"

As soon as I told him the name of the Research Institute, I heard the man refuse without hesitation.

After thinking for a few seconds, I gritted my teeth and said, "we can raise the original price by half. Everyone, please give up. If we have a pleasant cooperation in the future, the price can't be negotiated anymore..."

The man interrupted, "it's too low. At least three points, or there's no room for negotiation."

Hearing the price, I hung up the phone directly.

Dexter's face darkened.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Finger. All the materials here have been ordered. There are not many materials available now. They can be supplied to your research institute."

As soon as I heard this, i knew that it was an excuse to perfunctorily refuse to cooperate with us.

Dexter didn't insist, "Okay, I see."

Then he hung up the phone.

We didn't get any good news until the afternoon of the second day.

The attitude of the suppliers is either polite or impatient, but there is only one result: they don't want to cooperate with us.

And one of them even told me that it was impossible for them to cooperate with the Moonlight without any reason.

We know clearly that we must have been set up.

As for the backstage manipulator, it was almost obvious.

Except for Bonnie, we can't think of the second possibility.

Knowing that I had been set up and several projects of the research institute were still stagnant.

I can't help feeling a little irritable.

I didn't expect that Bonnie would be so hostile to me after six years. She was even shameless to use such a dirty trick!

But it was not the right time to vent.

I pinched my palm to calm myself down. Then I looked up at Dexter and said, "it doesn't matter. The River City can't do that. We can contact the suppliers of other cities and find someone who is willing to cooperate with us."

However, the cost and time would also be a little higher.

Although I didn't say it, I know it in my heart.

I also hope to find a suitable local partner, but there is really no way now.

"No... I don't have to go to another city."

Dexter suddenly thought of something and said in a relaxed tone.

Hearing this, I raised my eyebrows. "Do you think there are other suppliers in River City who can cooperate with us? Those small suppliers are definitely not qualified. We need to have a certain scale..."

Dexter nodded, "I know. But you may have to do it yourself."

I'm even more confused.

"I remember you told me that you know the suppliers of materials in the River City. Have you heard of The Sharp family? The Sharp family has a very high status in the family Sharp City, and Felton Sharp, is also highly respected. However, in the past few years, the physical condition is not very good, which is caused by the poor long-term rest. The doctor said that the western medicine is bad for his health, The Sharp family had been looking for famous doctors for many times, but they were all helpless. Therefore, they decided to find a pharmacist who knew medicine to make a kind of soothing fragrance. They also invited me to have a look. I don't think I have the ability. But you may have a way. "

"Really?"

I know what he meant, but I still have some misgivings. "But the Sharp family is so large that the price of materials may not be lower than now."

Dexter said, "the Sharp family has promised that if we can cure the old master, they can give us a free batch of expensive incense making materials, and even buy materials from him at half price in the future."

Hearing this, my eyes lit up, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that there was such a good thing?"

Dexter laughed and said, "I also thought about it, but you didn't come at that time, and I was not capable enough, so I gave up at last. I just remembered it and thought that maybe you could have a try. What do you think?"

"No problem!"

I suddenly stood up and urged, "help me contact the Sharp family and ask when I can go there ."

Dexter replied with a smile, "I'm going now. Wait for me here."

Then he walked out of the office and made a phone call.

I'll wait in the office.

Anyway, for the sake of the Research Institute, I must try my best to make the magic fragrance for Felton Sharp!

After a while, the Dexter came back.

"What do you think?"

I asked.

He nodded, "it's okay. The Sharp family hasn't found a perfumer who can help old master with his fragrance yet. Hearing that I recommend a person to have a look, they agreed without hesitation."

"When are we going there?" I am asking.

"Tonight." Said Dexter.

I promise immediately.

This time is exactly what I want. I hope the sooner, the better.

"Please tell me the symptoms of Mr. Sharp. I have to make preparations in advance." My face became serious.

Dexter replied.

The situation of Felton Sharp was a little complicated, which was also the reason why those famous doctors couldn't do anything about it.

Dexter talked about the condition of Felton Sharp for a long time.

At six o'clock in the evening, I went to the Sharp's s mansion alone according to the address given by Dexter after work.

A middle-aged man opened the door. He looked like a butler.

When he saw me, he was very polite and asked, "Hello, who are you?"

"Nice to meet you, sir. I am Mr. Sharp's perfuser,"

Hearing this, the Butler looked at me up and down and said, "since you are a perfume master, please come in with me."

Then he turned around and led the way.

I noticed that he didn't trust me, so I didn't take it seriously.

I accept any doubt before I transfer the incense that the other party wants.

I followed the housekeeper all the way into the yard. What i saw was the beautiful scenery of the Gangnam building, which looked very elegant.

It could be seen that the Sharp family was indeed a big family.

As I walked into the villa, the Butler asked me to sit on the sofa. "There was a guest visiting just now. Master went to visit old master with the guest. I'll go upstairs and inform him. Please wait here for a moment."

I nodded, "thank you."

Then I sat down on the sofa.

The servant quickly brought me a cup of tea and put it in front of me.

After a while, I heard footsteps from upstairs. I put down the cup and stood up to look at the stairs.

A young man and a young woman went downstairs gracefully.

At first glance, the two looked a little similar. Presumably, they were brother and sister.

As the two of them walked, they turned around and said something to the people behind them.

It must be the guest the housekeeper just mentioned.

I followed them all the way.

Until the guest behind the two showed his figure.

The man was tall and had a handsome face. He was holding a little boy in his arms and talking with the two people in front of him. His face was relaxed.

The man seemed to have noticed my sight and looked in my direction indifferently.

my heart jolted.

--Penn!

I didn't expect to meet this person here!

All the memories of that night floodeD.

My eyes couldn't help trembling. I almost didn't dare to look into his eyes. I pinched my palm hard and managed to calm down.

I took a deep breath, pretended as if nothing had happened, and looked at the man and woman in front of me.

Soon, they came to me.

I was stared at by Penn and the baby in his arms. I didn't know how to react for a moment.

Fortunately, the man in front of her broke the silence first. "Are you the perfumed master recommended by Mr. Finger to old master?"

I adjusted my expression and smiled, "it's me. Nice to meet you. My name is Aimee."

"Aimee."

The man reached out his hand and said, "my name is Clayton. This is my sister, Erica."

After saying that, he took a look at Penn, who was standing behind them. "This... Is our brother. His surname is Carter."

I forced myself to calm down and nodded, greeting them respectively. "Mr. Clayton, Miss. Erica... Mr. Carter."

As soon as I finished speaking, i clearly heard a man's ambiguous snort, which sounded somewhat sarcastic.

I lowered my eyes to hide the strange emotions.

Erica looked me up and down for a while. She frowned and asked doubtfully, "are you the one who claims to be able to work as my grandfather's fragrance? You look about the same age as us. I'm afraid you haven't worked for a long time. Are you sure you can do it?"

Her attitude was similar to that of the housekeeper just now.

When I was about to explain, Clayton smiled apologetically at me. "I'm sorry. My grandfather's condition is really serious. We have invited many famous doctors at home and abroad, but they can't do anything about it. My sister is also worried that my grandfather will be tortured again. After all, there are many doctors who give us hope and disappoint us again. We have been cautious for a long time. Please don't blame us."

After saying that, he turned his head and gave Erica a stern look. "Aimee is here to make incense for Grandpa. How can you be so impolite , and apologize to her?"

Reluctantly, Erica looked away and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."

I didn't take it to heart. After hearing this apology, I smiled at them calmly, "It doesn't matter. After all, I fully understand your concerns. But you can rest assured about my ability. Although I'm young, I've studied and developed many kinds of incense with various effects abroad over the years. My experience is not as good as that of an experienced incense refiner who has worked for decades, but in terms of ability, I'm absolutely confident in myself."

After saying that, I took out a document from my bag and handed it to Clayton. "This is my resume for these years. You can have a look first and then decide if I am qualified to make incense for Mr. Sharp."

Clayton reached out and was about to take the document from me, but it was intercepted by a slender hand

All the people present were stunned.

When I saw my resume was cut by that big hand, I felt more nervous.

Since I saw Penn, I have been avoiding him on purpose. I even didn't dare to look at them out of the corner of my eyes.

But now, the man suddenly reached out and took away my resume, so I had to pay attention to him.

I didn't know what he wanted to do
