Seeing them talking and laughing, Lucas walked over.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting. Is Irven doing a good job entertaining you?"
He invited Irven to watch over Genevieve for him.
He couldn't say some things, but Irven could say them for him.
Irven couldn't help but pat his chest.
"Professor Simpson, are you questioning my ability? I took them for a ride, and the two ladies were very happy. I am pleased to complete such tasks for you in the future."
"No need!"
"No need!"
Selene and Genevieve spoke in unison.
The four people fell silent, and the atmosphere became awkward.
A hurt expression flashed across Irven's face.
He asked, "Didn't we have a good time?"
Genevieve pursed her lips and rubbed her sore legs.
Selene couldn't help but say, "Only you had a good time. Can't you see we are all
exhausted?"
Irven curled his lips.
"Now are you gonna admit that you are not strong enough?"

Selene had an impulse to beat him up.
Lucas smiled and said, "Irven once ran a marathon. He has good physical strength, so most people can't catch up with him. I asked him to take you to watch a stage play, but instead, he took you for a ride?"
He sat and looked at the food they had ordered, noticing that they didn't stand on
ceremony.
He ordered a few famous dishes.
Genevieve looked at Lucas and remembered Carrie's words.
She wondered if she should tell Lucas about it and that he might be willing to help her.
Upon further consideration, she realized that asking him to do so would be a form of moral blackmail and could potentially put him in a difficult situation, regardless of his agreement.
Tell..
nis, whether openly or subtly, would be taking advantage of him.
Genevieve's mood dropped. She was slightly stunned when Lucas changed her drink to
milk.
"Professor Simpson, why do you always give me milk?"
Lucas paused and said with a smile, "You don't like it? Shall I get your drink back?"
Genevieve pursed her lips and said, "You don't have to. I like it very much."
She did not dislike milk; she just felt strange.
Actually, she enjoyed drinking milk but felt self-conscious about doing so in public as an
adult.
In her opinion, adults should drink coffee and alcohol, and she became accustomed to
doing so.

Lucas smiled and said indulgently, "I'm glad you like it. Help yourself."
Genevieve said nothing more.
Irven gave Lucas a meaningful look and curled his lips, mocking Lucas for being
a coward.
The food was served.
There was no awkward silence during the meal.
Selene and Irven teased each other, adding to the fun.
Selene insisted on opening a bottle of extremely expensive wine.
"Mr. Lester is treating us. This small amount of money means nothing to you,
right?"
Irven paused and said, "Of course. Open the wine!"
They finished the delicious meal, feeling satisfied.
Then y walked towards the door.
Selene stopped Irven.
"Why don't you pay the bill?"
Irven smiled and pointed at her.
"So this is your purpose. This restaurant is owned by Professor Simpson, and I have shares in it. Therefore, Why should I pay the bill when I eat at my own
restaurant?"
Selene's face stiffened.
She was furious.
She thought, 'He is so scheming!

'A meal costs him no money! Why would he treat his guests in his own
restaurant?!'
Genevieve received a call from her company informing her that something had
occurred.
She told them about it and left with Selene.
According to Jasper, the situation seemed urgent.
They arrived at the company.
Jasper and other people had been waiting for her in an emergency meeting.
Genevieve went straight to the conference room.
It was quiet in the room..
"What do you mean? There is something wrong with the newly developed products. Why are we having a meeting instead of investigating the source of the
problem?" Genevieve
asked seriously.
& strong aura and was always decisive and action-oriented in business. Upon hearing Jasper's claim of a problem with a recent batch of perfumes on the
market, she promptly inquired for the reason. Jasper told her that the responsible
party was currently waiting for a meeting at the company.
She was infuriated and asked that question.
The head of the marketing department, Riley Horton, was a capable woman. She directly displayed the investigation results on the table.
"I did an investigation immediately after the incident.
"A consumer developed an allergic reaction on the spot after trying our new
perfume at the product launch. The reaction caused extensive red rashes and
swelling on her face.

our new perfume contains high levels of corrosive chemicals, exceeding
international
standards.
"The media focused on this point and released the news.
"Now, some customers are unhappy with us and causing disruptions in our
stores..."
The Lawrence Group had an extensive range of overseas business.
Affordable luxury perfume was a primary business.
And it was to expand the presence of the Lawrence Group overseas.
The company was devoted to product research and development and spent several hundred million dollars annually on quality assurance.
As an affordable luxury brand, it always maintained a low profile and an excellent image. It even worked with many personal stylists of foreign celebrities.
The product launch incident would have a significant negative impact on
the company.

immediately said seriously, "Ms.

"The product in question is not ours. We are unaware of how it was placed
there.
"All other products in the same batch are satisfactory."
Another person said, "I think this is our rival's vicious scheme. They are
trying to harm us."
"I agree. We have to do something. I think the consumer is colluding with them. Let's have our lawyer send a demand letter immediately!"

"And do not let those reporters who made up the news off the hook!"
The meeting room was suddenly noisy.
Everyone was expressing their opinions. Genevieve was deeply troubled.
The overseas branch had mostly foreign senior executives. She did not
expect them to lack in-depth thinking.
She gritted her teeth and banged the table.
"Stop it!"
Everyone fell silent instantly.
Genevieve felt a burning anger in her chest.
"Sending a demand letter will exacerbate the situation. Is that what you
want to see? Even
if t
us business competition, we have not yet identified the person who is
trying
to frame us. To whom should I send a lawyer's letter?
"What if the consumer is innocent?
"Why don't you reflect on why you gave others a chance to frame us before
and after the product launch?”
The people present looked ashamed and didn't dare to speak.
They kept silent for a few seconds.
Riley said calmly, "It happened too suddenly, but I think the top priority
now is to
minimize the loss.
"We need to release a statement right away that lists the ingredients of the product and recall any pre-sold products at their original price.

"We encourage consumers to assert their rights and have their products
tested.
"The most important thing is to restore consumers' confidence in us."
Riley looked at Genevieve expectantly.
