The nervous heaved a sigh of relief, and everyone in the audience laughed.
"You have a good sense of humor, Ms. Christian. Indeed, being a senior resembles being an object to the learning juniors, but not everyone can understand the true essence of a senior's work. How much do you think you can understand, Ms. Christian?" The host asked provocatively, trying to add excitement to the conversation for the audience.
Everyone was in high spirits because of the little episode earlier. They all waited for Lily's answer. The question seemed simple but was quite tricky to answer. Lily would appear too arrogant if she gave an exaggerated answer but would seem unconfident if she was too reserved.
Lily smiled at the host. "I dare not say I can understand the essence of a master’s work. As perfumers, we all know very well that every perfumer has their own inspirations and ideas. Each product has the creator's unique perception. Even in the creation process, there would be different approaches and motivations.
"People are inherently different, and it is naturally impossible to understand what is happening in other people's minds. I can't say how much I'll understand Master Claude's work, but I can tell you my thoughts
and feelings after trying his new product."
Lily stood on stage, speaking openly and eloquently without hinting at stage fright. Her smile was confident, and her tone and body language were convincing. She was like a light, capturing the audience’s attention.
Many did not realize that they had subconsciously locked their eyes on Lily as they gradually nodded in agreement with her statement.
Meanwhile, a man smiled as he sat in a VIP room on the second floor overlooking the entire venue.
