When Calls the Heart

The Copied Mixtures

Third Person's POV

After Olivia got a copy of the mixtures that Lavender and Jack made from Steeven, she immediately went to her laboratory to give the mixture. Her employees immediately worked to release the final outcome of the perfume. Many processes have been done and it just can’t be done in a day. This means that in a week only one mixture must be processed in order to thoroughly investigate it's ingredients.

Steeven didn’t know the things Lavender was doing back then. The whole thought of Him was just like that with the mixture he got from the Del Castillo's laboratory. How he knows the processing, he didn't help in the Laboratory before but he just sat down at the office. Surprisingly, he was made as the Vice President position but he doesn't know about their products.

All of Olivia's staff hurried to get the outcome she wanted immediately. All her staff were afraid of her, they made it easy no diligent inquiry. Yes they did created it but Steeven didn't know enough about it to help. Then they created the unique scent that is not yet on the market.

All the final outcomes of the perfume need to be tested first, they have a tester available. Because of Olivia's great fun, she was able to advertise even on TV what they created in her laboratory. She encouraged people to enjoy their work by buying them. After her advertisements, she went back to the laboratory to check out her newly created perfume.

As she reached the Laboratory, she saw the newly created perfume. She was amazed that she made the right decision to finished it in hurry. She forced her staff to finished them as soon as possible that they have done right away. She got one bottle and proudly sprayed the newly created perfume.

She sprayed it on her neck and wrist in her hand. Everyone witnessed and saw the excitement on her face. Thirty minutes later he felt something strange in her neck.

Her neck was irritated and it was turned red.

Her nose smoked with anger that she wanted to scold her employees. But they made an excuses because they did not really go through a proper process. When everyone is in a hurry there's something they missed.

"What happened to that perfume? Why irritated my skin?", Olivia shouted.

"We just followed what you want, that's it", one of the employees said.

Olivia sighed angrily as she walked over to Steeven. She immediately entered where the man was working. A series of bad words came out of her mouth. Steeven just listens to Olivia's words.

After the woman spoke, his turn speak too. Everything he wanted to say to the woman, he had already released. Gradually, the anger subsided in his chest as they exchanged long words. Olivia just left the office, did not say goodbye to Steeven's place of work.

The man punched his fist on the table as the door closed as the woman came out. He blew air into the air then sat down in his swivel chair. He closed his eyes then looked up, he did not feel his tears dripping.

As he closed his eyes he saw Lavender's innocent face. He remembers when Lavender first arrived and she was in charge of his father's company. He felt angry so he said he loved the girl even though the truth was not. To his knowledge the girl believed him.

He knows he can’t manage the company especially without the late Father of Lavender's original formula. All sorts of mixtures that were created did not match the formula but all of that he compiled the copy. Because Olivia offered him a bigger salary, he accepted it immediately. He even hired a new employee to help him copy but was unsuccessful.

He had heard about what had happened at Lavender's Laboratory, he knew that they would not continue to create perfume. He is now thinking of arranging all the copies so that he can produce even more perfume. To lead the market than the Atmosphere Perfumes. For himself, he will use his position as a vice president and all he has learned there will dedicate his service to Olivia.

After a long thought Steeven stood up, from his office went to the laboratory. He would check why Olivia was irritated when the sample of the new release of the perfume was used. Olivia's staff only obeys orders but not all the time, the only thing they can do is to follow the instructions. Their initiative also needs to scrutinize what has been created before the final touch.

Steeven was devastated to discover that Olivia's laboratory was in short supply. They don't have the Fragrance allergy detection which is best accomplished by testing with the fragrance mixture, balsam of Peru, and either jasmine synthetic or absolute. It would be desirable to have common fragrance allergens listed on cosmetic labels so that patients could avoid the allergens to which they are allergic. He was just shaken because Olivia still lacked the equipment.

He doesn't know his reaction, will he be annoyed or happy because the sheer numbers of perfumes that have been made have not gone through fragrance allergy detection. If a person happens to use the tester and also has allergies, everything he worked so hard to copy will be destroyed. What kind of new job did he take? He will be the one to continue the problem for Olivia's entire company that lacks knowledge about creating perfumes?

That's why Olivia's company is just copying or maybe she's paying someone to be a spy for Del Castillo's company and he's one of those who took the offer. Many really die of delusion that same with Steeven. He would talk to Olivia about what he had found out. They need new sets of equipment inside the laboratory.

After Steeven and Olivia's conversation, the woman doesn't know what to do. Loud swearing because they will lose a lot of money, especially they will not continue to sell the perfume in the market. They need more machines and need to buy them abroad. Instead Olivia will be happy about what happened in Del Castillo that she stole a copy she and Steeven's karma returned immediately.

Olivia is thinking deeply now, she doesn't have enough money to buy a machine abroad. He had many employees to be paid, a lot of money wasted because of his haste. She thought of getting drunk at home to temporarily forget about his failures in her own company and business. After drinking a lot alcohol,she was already tipsy.

She was screaming and she could almost break everything in her house. She is alone because her husband is gone for five years , he died in a car accident. Although he inherited money, house and property still not enough for her because she lacked knowledge about business. So that's what's happening now in her company, she runs always wrong.

She did kidnap Steeven from the Del Castillos but he also didn't know things about perfumes the company where he came from. Consecutively the murmur she released from her mouth and sobbed. She wanted to curse her life but she still had sanity left in his brain. Exhausted by the loss, Olivia fell asleep.

They need to hire a marketing specialist for their strategy's adjustment. At that point Steeven remembered Lavender again. He shook his head to lose his mind about her. Now he realizes the great mania he has done to Del Castillo’s company.

It was not in his conscience that there was remorse in his will. How did he do all that? To deceive himself into accepting Olivia's offer of large sums in exchange, giving her a copy of Lavender and Jack's creations. Damn it! He was cheap in his mind.

"Oh Steeven why are you so stupid day dreaming go to work, because we have a lot to take care of here", Olivia ordered who had just arrived at the Laboratory.

"Sit down Olivia we'll talk", Steeven said.

Olivia sat down for their conversation. Steven told everything that lacked of Olivia's company. She couldn't quite imagine how complicated everything in her business would be. What can she do now? What else is missing in her why she can't do the business properly?

She first exited at the Laboratory, while driving his sport car he thought of visiting the Del Castillo's Laboratory. When she got there it was closed, there were no employees and of course she knew there was no perfume.They were the only ones her company had. She grinned at his thought and she laughs like crazy.

Atlast people will buy our perfumes as long as we buy machines, says her brain. She left immediately, went to a park to get some air when she suddenly thought of going to his husband's grave. When she placed the candle and flowers she had bought, she offered a prayer. While praying , she was talking to her husband

Steeven greeted her on her way back to his Laboratory. They entered to Olivia's office to discuss the cancellation of their advertisements while they were not yet being aired on TV. It's embarrassing but they have to accept rather than people will use the perfumes and will irritate them, then probably they will be offended. They need to call a conference meeting to say the cancellation in a nice way so as not to offend people.

Against Olivia's will, there was nothing they could do. They had to deal with any bullying. Swallow her pride for her company bequeathed to her by her husband. If she doesn't fix it, his late husband may still haunt him. Olivia just sighed.

The interview is two days later this Monday. Although Olivia was trembling at the conference meeting, she was encouraged. Even her knee trembling she must walk forward to speak. Silently, everyone heard the reason for calling the meeting.

The other visitors laughed but Olivia insisted on being formal. Various questions were thrown at her but she tried to answer in an orderly way that the perfumes they sell were still beautiful in the eyes of the people. It was as if she had just breathed after the interview with her. She was in a hurry to leave after the conference meeting.

They have to let go of the rumors before releasing another perfume. It is likely, in that duration they will be able to buy their complete laboratory equipment. They just wasted money, efforts and time by not being fare. This is a big lesson especially for Olivia.

Steeven will do the tasks because he is the Vice President at the new company he joined. He is no longer just sit like in del Castillo's office, waiting for someone to need his signature and just turn around to harass Lavender and Jack before. He is now Olivia's servant in her business. He couldn't do anything because he also grabbed Olivia's offer before.

He did not have the courage to complain because he had received the money before. So he is now submissive to Olivia. He was thinking of Lavender now, probably watched Olivia's conference meeting on TV. What does Lavender thinking about them and Olivia?

He didn't want to imagine that Lavender and Jack were laughing at them because of what he did. He was tempted by the bigger money he could have earned but it never materialized. Olivia's management was another mistake because of lack of knowledge. Then now he is in charged surely to contribute knowledge that he got from the previous company.

He didn’t want to think more about his mistake so he made himself distracted inside his new office. Focused attention on the paper works until he saw the job offer written on a bond paper. He read it and also same the contents of the paper that Olivia given to him before. Another person will fool again by Olivia, he said to his brain.

No name was written on the paper yet so he picked it up crumpled with one palm. When it was crumpled, he threw it in the trash. He shot straight right away. Olivia suddenly came in and asked Steeven, if he had seen a paper with a job offer written on it?

Steeven shook his head which meant he saw nothing that was in fact already in the trash can. The lady cursed in front of Steeven just because of that paper. He just let the woman search. Who is that job offer for?, will this woman make trap to fall other's business again? Consecutive questions in Steeven's mind.
