"Don't worry about it," Iris said. "I'm already happy you came to see me here in Paris. You attending my perfumery's launch party today is just a bonus."
Ashandra smiled at her.
Their chat was interrupted when Clover stepped on the small stage and called for everyone's attention in French.
"Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Clover Chua and I am Liberté's Chief Operating Officer. On behalf of our beautiful owner, Madame Iris Long, and everyone on our team, I welcome you all to Liberté!"
Everyone clapped their hands.
Clover thanked the guests for coming. She also spoke about the company's origins as the former Sang Bleu, the perfume maker for European royalty and aristocrats, and how their rebranding would foster more inclusivity instead of exclusivity.
