Spoiled by Mr Russell (Lily Christian and Alexander)

Chapter 78

Olivia looked at Nathaniel and then at her watch, "i'm not late. It's still early!"

"The company had notified all staff members to gather in the laboratory immediately. Where have you been?" Nathaniel asked with a livid face and stern tone. "I was sleeping at home, "Olivia said assertively. "What notice are you talking about? I didn't see any. Also, I don't read work notifications during non-working hours."

"How dare you talk back when you're at fault? Everyone is working hard for the company What about you? Do you think I won't reprimand you because you're a senior staff member? It seems like Lily has... Nathaniel abruptly stopped speaking as if Lily's name was taboo in the company

"Forget it. Go and check on the essential oils in the laboratory. See if there is any difference compared to before. If you do it well, I won't hold you accountable for being late."

After some thought, Nathaniel felt that only Olivia would know the reason behind this matter apart from Lily, Olivia had always been Lily's assistant, after all. From composition, recipe, or other steps, Olivia was the one who understood most things. However, this woman seemed to have other thoughts these days and was likely to go to Rebirth.

Fortunately, Olivia was different from Lily because Nathaniel still had Olivia's employment contract in his hand. He could keep her at MN Inc. longer if he disapproved of her leaving. "What's wrong with the essential oil? Don't you have all the recipes, Mr. Hall? What could go wrong?" Olivia walked in slowly with a smile after she put down her bag, "Besides, Ms. Thayer is here, isn't she? So, why do you still need me?" She said when she saw Melanie looking at her.

Melanie felt humiliated hearing Olivia's sarcasm. She immediately rebutted, "Olivia Hart, stop bullsh*tting! It's the company assessing you now, not the other way around. Who do you think you are?! Do as you're told!"

"How am I bullsh*tting? Did I say something wrong? Ms. Thayer, you're capable and have made many popular products for the company, so this is just a small problem. I am sure you don't need our help. If you think I am putting on airs and talking nonsense, fine. Just fire me!" Olivia had nothing to fear. She had been waiting for Nathaniel to be fed up with her and fire her. Then she could be free again. "How dare you?!" Olivia's words angered Melanie. She was about to retaliate when Nathaniel held her down.

"Olivia, please understand Ms. Thayer's words. This time around, it is indeed the company's assessment. The company will give a promotion and a raise to anyone who can deal with this issue. I give you my word," Nathaniel swore, "However, you only have half a day to do it. I need results!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard Nathaniel mentioning a raise and a promotion. All except for Olivia. "Wow! You're so generous, Mr. Hall. We'll do our best," she said with an insincere smile and lazily rolled up her sleeves. Then she turned around and took a seat.

Although Nathaniel could sense the sarcasm in Olivia's words, he could only swallow his dissatisfaction. After all, he just hoped to get a result as soon as possible.

"Are you still unable to figure out the difference, Mel?" Nathaniel turned around and asked Melanie in a low whisper.

Melanie's face turned sullen, "How would I know?! You know that the formula is... Why don't we go and ask Lily instead?"
