Chapter 380 You Started It First
For the next few days, Freya traveled to the Monaghan Cup to-and-fro
Meanwhile, the perfume brand that Freya and the Monaghan Group came together to create had an agreed name of Wonder Aroma, which was given by Freya
Considering Wonder Aroma’s recent establishment it was not independent from the Monaghan Group. where it was located on the seventeenth floor, just as its address stated At the same time, there were also more than a dozen perfumers working there, including Leah, who attended the competition earlier
Around Sam in the morning. Freya arrived at the scenting department. In the meantime, Leah, who was now the deputy director, had to manage all business affairs in Freya’s absence.
As soon as she arrived at the department, Freya could immediately catch a faint fragrance, which was none other than her masterpiece that she took part in the competition with, First Love. At that moment, Leah was busy talking to several perfumers in a corner.
While Wonder Aroma’s scenting department had a different interior style and design from the other floors at the Monaghan Group, there were three offices there and a few small rooms for perfumers to design and work on scents. Besides that, there was a huge working space spanning across the entire floor with long tables occupied by various machines to create perfume.
When Freya walked around the distilled bottle, Leah noticed her
presence.
“Here you are, Director Kaufmann!”
“Good morning, Leah.” Freya smiled and replied.
Leah’s eyes lit up happily when she looked at Freya. After all, she was grateful for Freya, who saved her from Helga back then, thinking she would still be working in that notorious place if it weren’t for Freya. Furthermore, the Monaghan Group also agreed to offer Freya a lucrative amount of salary, considering the fact that her mother was hospitalized. Therefore, Leah was so thankful for Freya that she would even be willing to marry her if she was a man.
Freya sized up Leah, finding her somewhat different from the time she saw her at Pink Beach. As Leah seemed more energetic now, she became a new person totally different from the timid maiden she used to be.
“Gather everyone. We’re going to have a meeting,” Freya said with a smile.
Since the establishment of Wonder Aroma, the scent that Freya created at Pink Beach became popular and viral across the internet. Because of that, the consumers were now looking forward to the first-ever product to be launched by Wonder Aroma.
Upon summoning all the perfumers, Freya sat in the center in front of everyone and said, “Our brand has only been established for over a month, but it’s obvious that we have a huge hype from our customers and competitors to live up to. Although that sounds like good news to us, it can be rather challenging for our team to deliver the expectation.” Deep down, she knew the disappointment could be devastating in the case of a failure should the expectations get too high. For that, she realized her team mustn’t launch a product that could be commonly found elsewhere in the market.
At the same time, Freya looked across everyone in the meeting, seeing them nod in agreement.
“Don’t worry, Director Kaufmann. We’ll do all we can to complete our task at hand even though it means we have to work overtime.” Leah answered.

Relax, you don’t have to work overtime I wouldn’t want you all to catch a cold or fall ill because of that After all, for everyone who works in our line of profession, our nose is our greatest asset. Freya replied.
with a smile.
Perfur blending required perfumers to identify the fragrance as they recreated a similar one before going on to manufacture a new fragrance. Although there were thousands or even millions of scents and nearly ten thousand types of fragrances in the world, talented perfumers could identify them and tell their differences with their keen sense of smell However, their strong sense of smell was also exactly the reason they couldn’t stand the smell of hospital disinfectants and sanitizers.
Freya continued to say. Tll make a list. Wender Aroma’s flagship product shouldn’t just be a single item so that we wouldn’t limit ourselves by focusing on just a particular group of customers. Instead, I suggest that we launch a product series with 3 unique types of perfumes for people of different ages, including both men and women”
“So, that’s 6 of them in total, right?” Someone nervously asked.
Freya nodded and said. “One for young people, one for middle-aged people, and the last one for the elderly. She then shared her thoughts and discussed them with Wonder Aroma’s perfumers while trying to reach a consensus about the final scent of their perfume.
“By the end of next month, we’ll finalize the list of ingredients for the perfume before passing it onto the manufacturing department. By the time it’s ready to be launched in the market, it’ll be about 100 days. later, which will likely make our first launch somewhat special and meaningful.”
That’s pretty tight. Everyone else appeared nervous.
“It’s not that tight. As long as we use our time wisely, we should be able to make it!” Someone responded with determination.
At the same time, Freya smiled and looked at everyone, realizing that some of them were contemplating in a preoccupied manner while the others were eager to get to work. Despite the mixed sentiments, she still deemed that a good sign, happy about the positive and healthy atmosphere around her workplace.
After the meeting, Freya got up and went into her office. Having been busy investigating the organization recently, she rarely had time to come to the Monaghan Group, although nothing had changed much in her office. Soon, she sat down and turned on her computer, whereupon a small icon popped up in the bottom right corner of the screen.
Seeing that, Freya raised her eyebrows because behind that icon was the access to the Monaghan Group’s intranet. Wow! I can’t believe Radley gave me permission to enter the intranet. She thought to herself in surprise.
At that moment, something popped up once as a number of messages showed up.
“What are you doing? Administrator I asked.
‘Busy thinking about you. Freya raised her eyebrows, looking at the name ‘Administrator l’ before she curled her lips upward and smiled.
‘Come up to the top level. Administrator 1 replied.
It was then that Freya turned off the computer and walked out of her office before she made her way to the elevator and headed upstairs. As soon as the elevator opened, Connor was standing at the entrance with a smile.
“Miss Kaufmann, Mr. Monaghan has ordered me to escort you.”

Soon, Freya followed Commor to Radley’s office where senior executive was seen briefing Radley about his work. When she saw Radley sitting in front of the computer, she raised her arm slightly. Then, when the man noticed he
he rose from his seat
Alre, I heard you, but that’ll be all for today, Radley said to his subordinate. “You may excuse yourself
The man, who hadn’t finished reporting his work, felt somewhat surprised, but when he turned around and saw Freya, he immediately made himself scarce
“You should have prioritized your work because I could have just sat aside and waited Freya curled her lips upward.
You’re more important than work.” The man replied.
Amused by Radley’s answer, Freya smiled and asked, “How can you flirt while looking so serious?”
Radley furrowed his brows slightly. “Was I flirting?”
Freya looked up at Radley, fixing her gaze on his face as she wondered if he was truly confused. Then, her line of sight ran along the man’s dark eyebrows and facial features. When her gaze moved from his face to his jaw and neck, it eventually stopped on the button near his collarbone, which somewhat made her imagination run a little wild.
Haha! Maybe he is in love with a lady for the first time.
Freya curled her lips upward and tiptoed, planting a kiss on Radley’s cheek. At the same time, the man. relaxed his thick eyebrows as he extended his arm and snaked it around her waist.
When Radley leaned over, she covered her mouth and said, “Come on, cut it out. We’re in the office.”
“Well, you started it first,” Radley responded with a chuckle.
After that, Freya kept her head down and shared a kiss with the man, feeling his every breath grazing her. skin. Upon sharing a passionate kiss, Freya pushed Radley away from her. “Now, redirect your focus back to your work.”
Having spent the entire day accompanying Radley at the Monaghan Group, Freya reckoned it was finally time to leave work. Then, she returned to the Kaufmann Residence, and as soon as she walked through the door, she saw Braxton and Isabella sitting on the couch, much to her surprise.
Considering the fact that Braxton and Isabella were already married, Sylvia specially prepared another house for her son, worried that Isabella wouldn’t like living with her as many other women did with their mothers-in-law. Although the house was a huge villa with grand-looking designs, Braxton and Isabella didn’t seem to plan on moving out because they reckoned they were happy living together with the
others.
“Braxton, Izzy, aren’t you going on your honeymoon trip tomorrow? Have you packed your luggage?” Freya asked while changing her shoes.
“Braxton and I have just decided to postpone our honeymoon trip.” Isabella smiled and replied.
“Why?” Freya furrowed her brows and asked.
