Briena's Challenge
Inside Sephina's office, everyone was watching Natalie speak to the reporters.
"Grandma, why is she so calm?" Briena asked.
"She's good at faking it, just like her mother," Sephina replied. "They won't let anyone see them panicked or scared."
"Did she just say Briena can't dare participate in the perfume competition after she already said she wasn't interested in competing?" Clara asked.
"By challenging Briena, she has only put herself in trouble," Sephina added. "Just as we planned, she'll be forced to participate. When the reporters come to Briena, all she has to do is challenge Natalie back. Everything will be set with another of our trump cards."
Briena's face showed a hint of worry. "But Grandma, I haven't created any perfume in years. I'm completely out of touch. How am I supposed to…?"
"You just focus on participating. The rest will be arranged for you. Don't worry," Sephina reassured her.
"Alright, Grandma," Briena agreed.
