Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan)
Chapter 2256

Chapter 2256

The cafeteria hushed, and everyone nearby could pick up on the conversation.

While Stella wasn't familiar with the S-type essential oil, every seasoned Caline employee knew its significance.

This particular blend was a key ingredient in high-end perfumes like "Dream Weaver". There was only a hundred milliliters of the essential oil in stock. It was rumored to have been accidentally created by Darcie. However, due to the lack of recorded ingredients and proportions, this bottle became a unique treasure, reserved for special occasions when someone of importance needed a custom perfume.

With Caline possessing only this sole bottle, the news of its shattering left everyone stunned.

Darcie's expression darkened as she turned away and left.

Stella intended to follow, but Wren halted her. "Ms. Hall, let's forget about my issue. It'll blow over soon. You don't have to..."

Stella met her gaze. "It won't just blow over. Your tolerance will only embolden them. You need to show them you're not someone to be trifled with, so they'll think twice before crossing you."

Wren hesitated.

Without waiting for a response, Stella departed.

Sonia wasn't one to be careless. Such a valuable item would have surely been kept secure from ordinary hands. How could it have been broken?

Rushing to the elevator, Stella arrived at the scene where a gathering had formed around the essential oil storage area.

Sonia found herself encircled, everyone's eyes on her as if she were a criminal. She appeared visibly shaken.

Darcie stood nearby, brown glass shards littering the table. Though nothing remained on them, the air was thick with the scent of essential oils. Stella caught a hint of vetiver amidst the unfamiliar fragrances, each exuding a distinct aroma.

Carefully, Darcie touched the broken pieces and instructed Aubrey to arrange for cleanup.

Aubrey hesitated, murmuring, "Ms. Arnold, it's too late. Water has been mixed with the essential oil, contaminating the oil."

Darcie's frustration flared, and she let the glass pieces fall back onto the table, her expression cold and firm. "How many times must I stress the importance of this bottle? How could such a mistake occur?"

Defeated, Aubrey responded, "There is a perfume consultation this afternoon. I asked Sonia to fetch some oils for the fragrance room. I never anticipated she would touch the S-type essential oil, let alone break it."

Observing Sonia's reaction, Stella noticed her trembling lashes.

Darcie's tone remained icy. "Is this your first day? How could you entrust such a crucial task to an intern?"

Aubrey confided, "Sonia came with Ms. Hall's recommendation, and you instructed US to look out for her. Thinking to give her more exposure and experience, I trusted her with the task. She's usually so reliable; I never expected this outcome..."

Upon hearing "Sonia came with Ms. Hall's recommendation", Stella realized the implications.

This was aimed directly at her.

In the past, to secure Sonia's position, she had casually remarked that if Sonia caused trouble, she would resign. It had been a casual statement, with no intention of following through. But clearly, someone took it seriously and used Aubrey to remind her.
