Without delay, secretary Rei immediately carried out his duties. In less than 24 hours, news of the deLuna Company's CEO holding a competition to find a husband became a sensation. The post on the company's website was shared millions of times, with countless comments appearing below.
[This is crazy!!! Oh Lady Lilith, even if I have to bend my knees at your feet, I will come! Wait for me!]
[Queen Lilith, she always has new moves.]
[Who? Who? Who? It's me! I'll enter this contest just to be able to smell Miss Lilith's pheromones in person!!!!]
[The perverts are out. Shameless.]
[Let's be realistic. That's not me. I'm not submissive, worse, I'm recessive.]
[This woman is so shameless and arrogant.]
[It's not about being dominant or submissive. It's about being able to withstand the pheromone attacks of an S-class dominant. And I…. Want to try it.. *drooling emoji*]
[Move aside all you perverts!!! I will be Lilith Lana deLuna's partner! I will rule the deLuna Company, and rule the world!!!!!]
[Your Majesty the Queen!!! I am ready to be your King!!!]
[Auuuu she is sooooo]
Lilith chuckled as she read every comment under the post about the hottest contest of the century. These idiots, they thought they could enjoy the moment she released her pheromones? Instead, they'd all run away, suffocating, unable to withstand her dominance.
Besides his uncle, the former CEO of deLuna Company, no one could stand up straight after receiving the pheromone attack she released, and these nameless people confidently wanted to try?
Just try it.
"President, the executives have expressed their disapproval of the contest you are holding." Secretary Rei stood before her, the older man's glasses slightly askew from working harder to deal with Lilith's endless whims.
"Just let them be. Let them bark until they're satisfied. At least they're more useful when they're barking." Lilith was in a good mood, still reading the comments, which she found quite entertaining. She needed some entertainment; every second the sharp edge of a knife was pointed at her. She wanted to relax, even for a moment.
"Then, AtoZ Holding sent a reply." Lilith lifted her head quickly, her doe eyes staring straight at the secretary. "What did they say?"
"They refused to cooperate." The CEO's smile faded, and she closed the tablet she was holding. "They immediately refused to cooperate without hearing what we had to offer them? That's incredible. They even refused to meet." A mocking smile tugged at the corners of Lilith's lips.
AtoZ Holding is a company based in country A. It used to be a small, under-recognized company, not even well-known. Over the past five years, it has become a dominant player in country A. Rumor has it that AtoZ Holding was built from the remains of a company that collapsed and went bankrupt several years ago. The owner and founder of AtoZ Holding are very careful in choosing business partners.
Lilith wanted to meet this owner, but they were extremely reclusive. They disliked media appearances and were never seen at company dinners or meetings. Perhaps they were paranoid and afraid to open up business. But never mind, Lilith didn't care. If AtoZ Holding didn't want to meet, then they were the ones losing out. The deLuna Company was also at its peak, very stable, and still able to collaborate with other companies.
"President." Secretary Rei called.
"Hmm."
"About the contest." The secretary's words hung in the air. Lilith understood the meaning of the man who had been with her since she was a young lady just from his eyes.
"Ah right, a contest. Tell me."
"The schedule has been set, in two days." This means that in two days, people will fill deLuna Company, perhaps those who really intend to join are not that many, but she also cannot ignore the people who come just because they are curious.
Lilith tapped her fingers on the table, her nails now green. "I said that to spite my beloved family, but now it seems I really need to think about this contest."
"I don't think there's anything wrong with this. We could use it as a company promotion." Lilith suddenly had an idea.
"I'm glad you're a smart person," Lilith praised the secretary. "Give all employees a day off during the competition and replace it with bazaars, promotions, and our company's product booths. If necessary, organize entertainment. We have to make sure these people don't leave empty-handed."
Secretary Rei nodded in understanding. "Yes, President."
"Well, one more thing." Secretary Rei's movement to leave stopped.
"Secretary Rei, are you dominant?"
The bespectacled man's brow raised. "Yes."
"What is your level?"
"I'm a B-level dominant, president." He had worked with President Lilith for quite some time, but this was the first time she had asked about pheromones, and to his surprise, the president had never known.
Lilith nodded in satisfaction from behind the desk. "You'll be the first selection for the competition. Find an employee with a dominant A-level pheromone, and make them the second stage. I don't want to waste time entertaining people." While she was certain no one would be able to survive with her dominant S-level pheromone, at least some of them would survive against dominant B- and A-level ones. There was no harm in screening the participants first.
Even if someone can withstand a pheromone attack, that doesn't necessarily mean they're a good match. A high level of compatibility is quite difficult to find, especially someone who can be a therapy for her disorder, whether dominant or submissive.
Tch, they thought they could get rid of her that easily. It's not that easy.
After discussing other matters, Rei's secretary left to carry out the president's orders. Lilith stared at her face in the mirror that always sat on her desk. Not to admire her face, but to remind her that she was alone in this war, to keep her confident and stand tall before the hungry eyes. If she let her guard down, a stab would pierce her heart. The scent of lilies emanated from her pheromone glands, strong, assertive, with a hint of sweetness at the end.
People call her the queen without a crown, but they never know what this queen faces every day.
