Chapter 2064
Jaylene hesitated for a moment, her expression subtly changing.
"The Rosaceae family isn't only roses. It's similar to how peonies and herbaceous peonies
are in the same family, Paeoniaceae. Having an allergy to peonies doesn't mean being
allergic to herbaceous peonies. They're separate species," she hurriedly clarified.
"Ah," Stella nodded in understanding. Then, she inquired, "Jaylene, I've noticed you seem
unaffected by these flowers now. Has your asthma improved?"
After the incident earlier, Jaylene was cautious in her interactions with Stella.
‘Why the sudden interest in my asthma? Is Stella trying to use it as an excuse to kick me
out of the fragrance department?' she thought.
"I think it's getting better. I've never been sensitive to pollen, which is essential for
working in the fragrance department," Jaylene replied cautiously.
"Is that so? We've known each other for less than a year, yet I've seen you have attacks
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttwice, even with medication on hand. Is it really wise for you to continue in the fragrance
department with this condition? While work is important, isn't your health more
significant? If you were to collapse due to this illness, Dad would surely blame himself for
allowing you to join the company," said Stella.
Jaylene would not let Stella use her health as a reason to oust her from Caline. Quickly,
she responded, "Stella, you're overthinking it. I wouldn't be here if I weren't medically
cleared. The doctor has provided me with reports confirming I'm fit to work in the
fragrance industry."
"Is that so?" Stella scrutinized her for a moment before asking, "So,
fragrant flower pollen doesn't trigger your attacks?"
Jaylene nodded. "That's right."
Flowers weren't her allergens, so they don't cause attacks.
In fact, Jaylene had been seeking medical advice everywhere while the Saun family took
care of her over the years. Her condition has improved greatly.
Apart from a minor incident at last year's charity banquet, where she accidentally came
into contact with an allergen, she had not had an attack in two to three years.
The most dreaded aspect of asthma is the allergen. Jaylene's allergen was identified long
ago. As long as she avoided contact, she would not experience any major symptoms. She
had managed her condition very well.
Stella looked at Jaylene. Her expression grew colder as she said, "That's good to hear."
Saying this, she quietly saved the recorded audio. Since Jaylene said she was fine, she
would not give her the chance to use her illness as an excuse.
Despite Stella's repeated statements that she did not like roses, Jaylene still left a few
stems here, claiming it would improve her mood.
Once Jaylene left, Stella picked up a small spray bottle and sprayed water on the roses.
Then, she sent a private message to the flower shop owner: [Next time, please don't send
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsuch fresh flowers.]
The owner replied: [Why not?]
Stella texted back: [Just send the flowers left over from the previous day at a discounted
price.]
The owner was speechless. She had not seen anyone pursue a girl while being so stingy.
Once Jaylene left Stella's office, Darcie called. She had just gotten off the plane and
learned about today's events from Elana, so she contacted Jaylene.
Her advice was clear: maintain a low profile, let Stella do as she pleased, treat her well as
instructed, and avoid open confrontation.
The thought of being humiliated today made Jaylene extremely uncomfortable, and
Darcie's instruction to endure it only made her more upset.
She could not fathom why her mother was so wary of Stella. 'Even though Stella's late
mother founded Caline, wasn't it mom's efforts that led it to its current state? Why should
we tiptoe around Stella just because she joined Caline?'
"Do you hear me?" Darcie asked over the phone.
