Vengeful Couple.

CHAPTER SEVEN

When i arrived, everyone was waiting at the lobby to receive me, i mustard up the courage, stepped out of the car and into the building.

"Good morning ma'am." Mr Erin was the first to greet.

"Good morning miss bennett!!!!!" Then rest of the staffs

"Good morning Mr Erin, Good morning everyone."

Mr Erin stared at my right hand, "Are you okay?" he asked.

"Yes i'm fine, Let's go." i said, i got into the private elevator, Mr Erin wanted to take the employee's but i asked him to come with me. "Give the current updates." i said immediately the elevator closed.

"Of course. The financial records are down by forty percent, the supply for aromatics are at a minimal, a few employees have not been paid....."

"What? How many are there in a few?"

"Thirty-six, five resigned from their jobs last week."

"We still have to pay them what they are owed. Why weren't they paid?" the elevator opened and we walked out, straight to the lab.

"The signature of a bennett is needed to access the company's account, i was able to get your father to sign two months ago."

I sighed, the lab only had a few individuals; "Where are the rest?"

"And how can i help you?" A young lady said, she sounded rude and arrogant.

"And you are?"

"This is May Bradley, Laboratory Supervisor." Mr Erin said, "May, this is Miss Audrey Bennett, She will be taking over the company."

"Pardon my manners miss bennett, this is my station, i guard it jealously." She forced a smile and looked at my right hand.

I ignored her, "Well then, if this is all we have, today is truly going to be a long day. Get yourself together, we begin in ten minutes." i said and walked out, Mr Erin showed me to my office and i sat down to breathe.

So far, it was going good, i took out the journal and the scripts of recipes my parents left out, i began to study them. I needed to get full access to the company affairs and finance to pay those employees else I'll have to look for new ones.

Ten minutes later, i returned to the lab, but with my injured hand, i couldn't do much. Using the same recipe as my parents and following the same process, i was able to make a perfume that looked exactly like the one my dad made for me years ago.

But something was missing, "Can i get the chamomile and ylang-ylang?"

"Chamomile we have, ylang-ylang we do not have." May said.

"Then go get it."

"It's not easy to get miss bennett, it wasn't included in our supplies because our suppliers from Asia increased their prices." Mr Erin who has been watching looked at her, i guess she was in charge of the aromatics supplies.

I walked over to her, "I do not care how you do it, but if i don't get what i need in thirty minutes, you can find yourself another job. Someone get me the chamomile!" two female perfumers scurried into the store. May and Erin walked away while i continued with what i was doing as they handed me what i needed.

Erin and May returned with the last ingredient twenty-seven minutes later and the perfume was ready.

"What do you think?" I asked Mr Erin

He smeared a drop on his wrist and inhaled, "Oh wow, it smells just the same as the one your father made the day you won the mathalon competition."

"You remembered."

"Of course, he was so happy and danced while making this piece. We all remember, right?" he asked May, she smeared a drop on her palm and inhaled, then she nodded and so did a few others.

"Yes, i remember this fragrance." one of the perfumers said.

"You got it exactly how he made it, you're a natural miss bennett." another said.

"This will be our piece for the week, we'll make a couple of these and take them out to the stock display section. Let's get to work guys."

I don't know how long i was in the lab but it was lunch time and i was hungry;

"Miss Bennett, a call from the receptionist at the lobby, you have a guest."

"Who?"

"Mr Sullivan." he said, i heard May and other perfumer gasped.

"Right on time." i muttered, "Please show him to my office, you can all take your lunch break." i said and left the lab, not before i heard the relief in their voices.

Mason's P.O.V

Audrey asked that we meet at her office for lunch, I didn't know why until i arrived at the bennett's company and was told she's been at the lab for hours. And when i got to her office, she had an injury on her right hand;

"Good afternoon Mr Sullivan." she greeted.

"Please call me Mason, what happened to your hand." i asked.

"It's nothing serious." she said, sitting on the sofa in her office.

I sat with her and brian placed the lunch i asked him to order on our way here. "Your hand is wrapped up and you say it's nothing? Let me have a look." I instinctively and carefully took her hand to inspect. "Glass cut?" i could still see the tiny cut above the bandage, it had healed up a little.

"Yes, i had a glass cut at home yesterday. Amy handled it, so it's fine."

"Who's Amy?"

"Are you this inquisitive? Like a detective, i'm starving, we can eat and talk right." she took one of the chinese food and began to eat.

"I want to know the little i can about you." i said. She looked at me and said after she chewed and swallowed her food, "Amy is aunt emily's only daughter, Aunt Emily was my dad's only sister......" She paused, I'm sure she was contemplating on if or not she should continue, but after a while she did.
