Chapter 722: Chapter 722: Help Me Blend the Fragrance
When their memories were all visited, Ryan Richard looked at Charlotte Thompson as she fell into the rhythm of reliving their past. The distant look on her face was no more.
Believing the moment to be opportune, he seized the opportunity to hold Charlotte’s hand tightly.
"It was my fault back then, but I have paid the price. Emily Allen betrayed me, so Sophie, can we...?"
However, looking at the naïve expression on Ryan’s face, Charlotte could only feel revulsion.
Without hesitation, she shoved him away. "Whatever retribution you’ve met, what has that got to do with me! That is your punishment!"
Charlotte’s cold demeanor struck Ryan deeply. He remembered Sophie as a different person, a little girl who could only cry when she knew she was betrayed.
But that did not deter him from seeking her out. "It’s okay, Sophie, it’s okay if you still hate me."
Ryan forced a smile.
"Security, take him away!"
Charlotte called out. She no longer had the time to deal with him.
The security guard was polite, only gesturing for Ryan to leave. "Sir, please leave."
"I can walk myself out."
To retain his dignity, Ryan shot the security guard an angry glance before shifting his gaze back to Charlotte.
"Sophie, will you forgive me? Sophie, I’ve realized my mistake!" Ryan cried out loud as he trailed after her.
It felt like a century for Charlotte to walk the short distance. Were it not for Coco’s support, she would have been unable to stand on her own feet.
Thinking that Ryan would finally distance himself after being intimidated by the security guard, she gathered herself up to mask her agitation. She knew that what was in the past should stay in the past, and it should not disrupt her life anymore.
The passing crowd stopped and wondered why Ryan was calling Charlotte ’Sophie’.
Charlotte could only quicken her steps, even though she knew that she couldn’t solve some issues simply by avoiding them.
Just as she least expected it, Ryan broke away from the security guard and fell to his knees before her.
"I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I was wrong. Sophie, will you forgive me?"
As soon as he grabbed his shirt, Coco immediately tried to pull him away. The crowd of onlookers grew bigger and bigger. Worried about affecting others, Charlotte finally snapped back at him.
"You come with me."
She led the man to the fire exit. Unhesitant, Charlotte shoved him hard onto the ground.
"Ryan Richard, what exactly do you want?"
Seeing Charlotte’s anger, Ryan knew that he was finally getting to her. He abandoned all pretenses. Slowly, he rose to his feet and approached Charlotte.
She instinctively stepped back, and this gave Ryan a sense of triumph. Dusting his hands, he bore a malicious grin on his face, just as revolting as he was in the past.
He showed a high-five hand gesture. "Five million, and, you have to help me create a fragrance, plan the perfume until it officially launches."
Charlotte found it laughable.
Ryan Richard was simply shameless, daring to imagine that he could extort such a huge sum from her.
She remembered that back then, Ryan Richard and Emily Allen had kept their relationship a secret to use her to create a fragrance, deceiving her into planning the perfume series for Richard Corporation.
However, because of Ryan and Emily’s betrayal, coupled with her marriage to Justin Battleson of Windflower Garden, she managed to regain the perfume planning scheme from Richard Corporation with his help, hence preventing their further development in the perfume industry.
Only when Ryan expressed his motives did Charlotte fully understand from the beginning to end, he had been despicably the same.
Seeing Charlotte hesitate, Ryan was hopeful. "So what do you say? Is it okay, Sophie?"
Charlotte scoffed, "You’re crazy. Why not rob? That way would have been quicker!"
Ignoring Ryan’s change in expression, Charlotte turned and left, leaving behind only a sentence: "By the way, I’m not your Sophie, and I don’t know how to design fragrances. Stop dreaming!"
