Chapter 487: Can I Not Agree? I Have No Choice!
Lily interrupts Sean, "Mr. Barham, you are a perfumer. I'm afraid that unless the perfume made by you
is welcome, you are a true perfumer."
"But as we know most customers don't like your perfume. They think our company's smells better."
"You stole our new product. However, you can't find the base notes of the perfume, so you replace it
with other ingredients."
"Nonsense!" Sean tries to deny it, "My product was stolen by your company. I originally made the
perfume. Now you put the blame on my victim?"
The person in charge of the Egret Company also says, "President Lily, you promise to give us an
explanation. It can't be that you are reversing right and wrong in front of the media? You said Mr.
Barham had stolen your product? Where did he steal?"
"Mr. Barham knows where he stole it from, doesn't he?" Lily smiles.
Then she opens the document on the table.
It is a document about Mr. Barham's courier records for the last month.
There is a courier from an old neighborhood of Yorkshire to the Egret Company. It is a bottle of
perfume.
Sean looks at the document. His eyes move nervously and he stammers, "I was thought to be a theft
just through this? I bought the perfume online. The delivery was also on that day."
"What about this?" Lily takes out a recording pen from her pocket.
She turns it on. It is the perfumer's voice. He is talking to someone, saying that there's a parcel for him
and how lucky he is. He seems to be drunk.
Sean is livid with rage when he hears this, "President Lily, you are too despicable. You...."
"Listen, you said by yourself. No one made you do this." Lily smiles faintly and says to the media, "HS
Company has never stolen the products of the Egret Company."
Some media ask curiously, "Why did the perfume come out by the Egret Company? Can President Lily
explain?"
"Yes, I'll explain it to everyone later."
After Ella delivers the document, Lily opens it and shows it to everyone. It is the perfume formula and
Mr. Barham's confidentiality contract with HS Company.
After taking a deep breath, Lily calmly says, "I am so sorry about all of this. It's my fault."
"Last month, I went to L City for my work and gave a sample of the new perfume to a friend I just met.
The friend sent it to Mr. Barham of the Egret Company just to get back at me."
She bows to the media and says sincerely, "I'm sorry that my mistake harmed our company's Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
reputation. Thank you for coming today to give me a chance to clarify."
The person in charge of the Egret Company is shocked. He grits his teeth and scolds Sean, "Didn't you
say that the new perfume is made by yourself? Why did HS Company has the proof of your theft?"
"I, I don't know." Sean is so anxious and sweaty. He lowers his voice and says, "Hurry up and help me.
If my reputation is damaged, the company will suffer as well."
"You idiot, why didn't you tell me before?"
Sean says with a bitter face, "At that time, I was pressed for the new product. I had no choice but to...."
"Shut up!"
"...."
The person in charge from Egret has to fight off his fury because this is critical to the reputation of the
company. In just a moment, he has an idea.
When Lily finishes with the media, he walks over.
"President Lily, Mr. Barham used that perfume sample provided by someone but he didn't know that it
was your new product."
The person in charge lowers his voice, as if he wants to reconcile with Lily.
Lily gives Sean two chances before, but he is ungrateful and even harasses her.
"You know more about the law than I do. You should know that you will have to bear the consequences
if you stole our product." Lily says coldly.
"If he didn't use our new perfume to make a profit, we will just let it go. But he didn't and he sold our
product to your company."
The man from Egret says, "I will remove the perfume and make a statement."
Lily laughs, "You just remove the perfume? Do you know how much damage was done to our company
since you made a false countercharge?"
"President Lily, don't go too far!" That man looks displeased and says, "It was your own negligence that
gave away your company's new product. Our company and Mr. Barham are also victims!"
"I admit that it was my fault." Lily nods and says firmly, "But this is not an excuse for you to make
money by making use of our new product!"
The person in charge seems to be frightened and does not speak for a moment.
Lily points at the document and says drily, "We need your company to remove all the new perfumes,
return the money to the consumers and recall the sold products. We also need your explanation and
Mr. Barham's apology to our company. Or I'll take these to the court and take a lawsuit. You know
better than me who will suffer the biggest loss."
The person in charge of the Egret Company clenches his fists.
Indeed, Lily has the evidence. If he reconciles with her, it is fine to lose some money. If she really wants
to fight a lawsuit, with the media, more and more people will know about this. It will have a great impact
on his company.
After weighing the options inwardly, the person in charge has no choice but to accept the proposal
given by Lily.
"I'll send someone to remove the product as soon as I get back and issue an apology. President Lily,
please also help us minimize our company's losses."
Lily faintly smiles, "Don't worry. I'm glad that you agree."
"..."
You don't give us any other choice. Can I not agree? The person in charge keeps the thought to
himself.
The media below the stage see Lily and the person in charge of the Egret Company standing together
and whispering.
However, they can't hear anything. None of them can bear it.
"President Lily, what are you talking about? Share it with us!"
"We can't hear anything. How can we write news for HS Company?"
Seeing that the media are restless, Lily says with a smile, "Just now, the man from Egret told me that
the perfume was a sample from Mr. Barham's friend. He used it without inquiry."
"Now that we figure out everything. The Egret Company will remove the product and take back the part
it sold. It will also apologize to our company. I sincerely thank for his understanding."
Hearing Lily's words, Sean pauses and goes to look for the person in charge.
Sean whispers, "What do you mean? You've reconciled?"
"What can we do if we don't? Make a fuss so that the whole country knows about it?" The person in
charge glares at him fiercely. "If you still want to keep your job, apologize to HS Company in front of the
media. Do you understand?"
"...."
The person in charge emphasizes again, "Say you don't know and sincerely apologize to HS Company.
OK?"
"I see." Sean clenches his fists.
In front of the media, he sincerely apologizes to HS Company for his carelessness.
Lily always wears a faint smile on her face.
The two companies finally reconcile with each other.
At the end of the press conference, Lily personally escorts the person in charge of the Egret Company
and Sean away.
Ella distributes the gifts she has prepared to the reporters in the conference room.
