The Return of the Cannon Fodder Trillion Heiress - Chapter 458

Chapter 458: Chapter 458 The Love Potion Perfume 4
The press fell silent, their attention shifting to Massie. Feeling the weight of their gazes, she abruptly stopped chuckling and cleared her throat.

“Ahem! I apologize for my outburst; I was simply thrilled to be regarded as a newcomer.” A smile spread across Massie’s face, her eyes sparkling like crescents as she surveyed the reporters gathered in their boutique.

“Apologies for the late introduction. Allow me to reintroduce myself: I am Massie Morgan, the new chief perfumer of the ‘House of Fragrance’ and, as they used to call me a decade ago, the ‘perfumer princess.'” Massie confidently embraced her title as a prodigy in the industry, recognizing that it would serve as her leverage moving forward.

It would be foolish not to use such leverage, especially when others flaunted their dubious awards as if desperately seeking validation.

If they could showcase their accomplishments, why shouldn’t she do the same?

Now, it was clear that the saying about idols and their fans sharing the same mindset held true.

Massie, once timid, was now channeling Hera’s confidence.

Though she hadn’t always been this way, her fear of embarrassing her idol had driven her to protect the integrity of her company’s product.

She understood that any misstep could not only harm her brand but also reflect poorly on Hera, and that was the last thing she ever wanted.

The moment the reporters heard Massie mention the title “Perfumer Princess,” an uproar erupted in the room.

Everyone in the industry knew of her—Massie Morgan, the youngest perfumer in the world to receive a prestigious gold award.

She had been recognized by the royal family, awarded their royal insignia, and offered the coveted position of royal perfumer. It was an accolade that few could ever hope to attain.

“Miss Morgan! Are you really planning to return to the world of perfume-making?!”

“Miss Morgan, what do you want to say to your former head perfumer? Will you also be competing and responding in kind?”

“Miss Morgan, why did you disappear from the scene? Is it true that your kidnapping led to psychological issues?”

After hearing the last question, Mr. Morgan’s face darkened, and he glanced nervously at his daughter, who would usually bristle at any mention of her past.

However, Massie maintained a smile, as if discussing someone else’s life. “Yes, it’s true. I was tortured and nearly killed back then, and I was just a child. Even an adult would struggle to cope with such trauma; how could I not?”

Massie’s biting retort silenced the room, especially the reporter who had asked the question.

Everyone turned to him with glares that seemed to convey a collective desire to tear him to pieces for even attempting to maliciously stir the pot and risk a public backlash for opening such a forbidden door.

After Massie put the reporter in his place, the press conference continued seamlessly.

Her father, watching from the sidelines, felt an overwhelming sense of pride and happiness as he observed his daughter handle the pressure with such professionalism, barely breaking a sweat.

He realized that she had truly come out of her shell and was ready to shine even brighter than before.

Meanwhile, Stacy had fully embraced her role as Massie’s assistant and was even earning some pocket money.

And because of this, she would begin to follow Massie everywhere, eager to gain more experience.

In the future, the two would grow to be like sisters, both becoming elite figures in their respective fields.

As Massie navigated the press conference, Hera and Xavier were finishing up their makeup and wardrobe changes.

Xavier emerged ahead of Hera, needing only minimal adjustments to his appearance.

He accentuated his features with a new hairstyle, giving him a more mature and alluring look.

Dressed in a white satin shirt that was left unbuttoned, he showcased his Adonis belt and well-defined abs, exuding confidence and charisma.

Xavier, with his slim physique, hardly seemed capable of possessing such a chiseled body but, seeing his well-defined body proved them wrong.

He exuded an enchanting allure, reminiscent of a siren, as he stepped out of the changing room wearing only black trousers and an open shirt.

His striking presence captivated everyone around him, causing them to pause and hold their breath in awe.

However, for Xavier, this was nothing new; he had long since grown accustomed to the attention his beauty commanded.

Once everyone regained their composure, the assistant photographer guided Xavier to the man-made waterfall, surrounded by lush forest plants.

The theme of the photoshoot was wild and captivating, designed to convey the idea of Xavier being so deeply in love with Hera that he felt entranced, as if under the spell of a love potion.

The imagery aimed to be intense, possessive, and mesmerizing, perfectly reflecting the fervor of his emotions due to the love potion.

As soon as Hera stepped out of her changing room, she took everyone’s breath away in a simple black dress featuring thin straps, an open back, and a plunging neckline that accentuated her every curve.

The visual impact was stunning, leaving the men in the room blushing and their hearts racing at her captivating allure.

“She’s a succubus in the flesh,” the photographer murmured, his inspiration igniting within him.

He realized that Hera and Xavier were the perfect duo for this role, embodying the very essence of the product itself.

Their chemistry and allure fueled his creativity, making him even more determined to capture their captivating dynamic on camera.

The makeup team excelled at enhancing Hera and Xavier’s natural beauty without overdoing it.

They focused on highlighting their features rather than masking them with heavy makeup.

Initially, they thought a bold cat-eye look would be necessary to transform Hera’s innocent appearance into that of an enchantress.

However, once she changed into her outfit, her aura shifted dramatically.

Her expressive eyes conveyed a magnetic allure, leading the team to forgo any excessive makeup.

Instead, they opted for a simple hairstyle and a light dusting of powder to ensure her face would catch the perfect light and exposure on camera.

In the end, they realized that her raw beauty was enough, and they could have sent her out as is.

Now, as they watched Hera standing before the camera with Xavier, the makeup team felt confident in their decision.

Hera exuded an effortless allure, as if she had been born to captivate.

Even Xavier’s heart raced so fiercely that he could hear the pounding in his ears.

The moment he laid eyes on her, she became his sole focus, and the raw, unfiltered desire in his gaze was unmistakable.

“Just like that! Perfect!” the photographer exclaimed, clicking the shutter repeatedly to capture various angles.

It was clear that Xavier was completely under Hera’s spell, oblivious to everything and everyone else around him.

Hera placed her hand gently on his chest, maintaining their intense eye contact.

Xavier’s breath hitched as he slowly bit his lower lip, emotions swirling in his gaze.

In addition to the photos, a short video would be showcased on the store’s HD wall as part of the advertisement.

Hera’s movements were fluid and captivating, enough to stir Xavier’s emotions and ignite a burning desire within him.

As her hand glided down his abs, she took her time tracing each contour, making everyone watching hold their breath.

When her fingers reached his Adonis belt, gasps erupted from the crowd, the air thick with anticipation as they collectively forgot to breathe.
