Indeed a Victory
The next day, Nina started working in 'The Fragrance'. Ella was so happy to have her there. As the new head of the technical department, it took her some time to learn the basics amidst her trials to come up with a new fragrance. Nina knows what she is doing and she is open to suggestions even from her subordinates. Her down to earth nature earned her a good name in the company. And on top of her own charismatic personality and beauty, the new scents the company launched into the market based on Nina's formulas became a huge hit in the market. 'The Fragrance' company monopolized the Fragrance market almost under just a week's time. What more, the company is receiving so many orders, that they had to increase the production to their full potential. They held another meeting to purchase new machinary to increase their production. They finalized an area where they will be opening a new production unit. Nina was informed about everything, but she gently requested Ella to keep her away from the administration side of the work. Ella laughed at her request and even placed a wet kiss on Nina's cheek, much to Nina's surprise.
"Nina, look at this" Ella all but ran inside Nina's cabin with barely restrained excitement.
Nina jumped a little when Ella rushed in unannounced.
"What happened?" Nina asked with a laugh.
Ella placed a stack of papers on Nina's table and pulled Nina out of her chair and started dancing. Nina followed suit with laughter. They both danced like loons for a while until Nina started to get out of breath. "Now I need something to cool my body" Nina slumped in her chair and fanned herself.
Ella is so excited that she whirled around and laughed out loud happily.
"Now I am curious" Nina asked with a smile.
Ella sat in a chair opposite Nina and pointed at the stack of papers.
"Take a look" Ella said with excitement.
Nina looked at the papers with a frown. She didn't understand a bit except the amount that is listed in the bottom of the last page. Nina's eyes bulged out of her sockets when she saw the amount there. "Hundred million dollars?" she whispered with shock.
Ella nodded happily.
"Yes, just our profits over this one week. Our perfumes are selling like hot cakes. Our company has never seen this kind of profits since it was established forty years ago by my father-in-law. What's even better is that, we received orders worth more than two hundred million. Nina, this is a huge hit. We placed orders for new machinary and finalized a site to build our new production unit. I never thought that I would be able to turn this company like this after my husband passed away. I thought that I might lose this company forever. This entire credit goes to you" Ella said softly and honestly. She is not at all feeling jealous that Nina is taking the limelight. But instead, she is happy that her husband's dream will not be shattered.
Nina smiled tenderly.
"Ella, things will not remain the same forever. And moreover, we are a team remember? It was your idea to drop free tests near all the retail outlets to introduce our fragrances to the mass public. They all loved it and appreciate our affordable prices as well as elite high end marketing strategies. Your marketing and restocking our retail chains is the key to this success. If a team is successful, then the credit goes to the entire team. So it's not just my credit, it's our credit" Nina said logically. Ella smiled softly.
"Damn, I wonder how blind can that Morrison man be to not see how lucky he was to be blessed by a wife like you?" she muttered thoughtfully. Ella doesn't like Theo for rejecting Nina like this. She is ready to give him a piece of her mind if she ever crosses path's with him.
Nina felt a pang of pain in her heart. It's been a week since she last spoke with Theo. He didn't contact her either, which is not new.
"Ignore him. He is not worth to even waste our time discussing him" Nina mumbled bitterly.
Ella is feeling bad for Nina. That's when she remembered another great news which she saved for the last.
She clapped her hands with excitement yet again.
"I have another piece of news which will make you happy" Ella announced. She knows how to cheer up Nina.
Nina laughed. She is happy that their company is doing well. But not as happy as she felt the day when Agatha asked her to marry Theo.
"Is it? What is it?" she inquired curiously.
Ella leaned closer as if she is sharing a secret.
"Do you know that the Dankworth's are into this same business as us? One of their newly launched companies a couple of years ago started to compete with us. They owned almost half the perfume market when my husband was alive. But after that, they monopolized the entire sector in this region. But, their Monopoly didn't last long. Now we monopolized the entire market. I heard that they might suffer huge loses this quarter" Ella shared.
Nina knows that Chelsea belongs to the Dankworth family. She dislikes Chelsea for taking Theo away from her. But she doesn't have anything against her family.
"It's good news" Nina said gracefully, but her words lack the same enthusiasm as Ella has.
Ella smirked.
"Well, your soon to be ex husband recently invested a huge sum into that company upon Chelsea's request. Now he owns twenty percent of that company shares" Ella shared.From NôvelDrama.Org.
Nina's eyes flashed with intrest. A slow but satisfied smirk appeared on her lips.
"Well, atleast I could make him sweat once. It's indeed a victory for me. I think we should celebrate tonight" Nina announced happily.
