"Go!""Come on!"The onlookers began to cheer and shout.Grace, pretending to be fragile, lay on Jeffrey's back. As soon as he started running, she began to exclaim, "President Morgan, slow down. I'm afraid..."Indeed, she knew who he was, indicating that the duke’s family was very well-informed.Jeffrey's face darkened. He felt so foolish carrying this annoying woman to take embroidered balls. He couldn't fathom why he had made such an impulsive and stupid decision just moments ago.What a waste of his time!At the thought of this, they had already arrived at where the baskets of embroidered calls were. Grace’s sharp voice continued to ring in his ears. "President Morgan, you're amazing! We're so fast!""Even lower, President Morgan. If you go down lower, I'll be able to grab the ball!"Jeffrey gritted his teeth, feeling irritated by the woman's constant screams. He suddenly loosened his grip, and she tumbled into the basket in front of them.A wave of gasps echoed around th
Jeffrey glared at Grant with dark eyes. He was carrying his own wife! It was none of Grant’s business!However, Grant was not afraid of his threat at all and continued to show concern for Melanie. "I just so happen to have brought an ointment for bruises. I will give it to you later.""Thank you. I'm fine." Melanie smiled lightly.Jeffrey's face was grim. Grant, this brat, actually dared to flirt with his wife in front of him, and not just once!He wanted to go over and pull her toward her, but the film crew recognized him and immediately gathered around him. "President Morgan? You’re here? Why didn't you tell us in advance? We were not prepared at all..."William saw that Jeffrey’s face was getting more and more grim, so he hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over. "President Morgan intends to invest in the shooting of this promotional video for the city.""Really? That's great!"Everyone in the film crew beamed with joy. "This way we will have more funds! Thank you for
Melanie sat at the end of the bed. Her racing heart trembled as she was caught off guard.Jeffrey, this aloof big shot, always managed to surprise her with his gentleness when she least expected it."Aren't you busy? Why are you still daydreaming?" Jeffrey, with his eyes closed, suddenly asked, startling Melanie. She quickly grabbed her script and hurried to the living room to continue memorizing, fearing that he might change his mind at any moment.It wasn't until she finished memorizing the entire script that she stretched lazily. Jeffrey was already fast asleep on the floor, and Melanie quietly covered him with a blanket before leaving the room to wash her face and do her nighttime skincare routine in the makeup room.On the same floor, another hotel room had been temporarily converted into a makeup room for the entire film crew to share.When Melanie entered, she was surprised to find that Grace was also there.It was already so late. Was she also rehearsing her script in her
If everyone hadn't just heard Grace's distinctive voice moments ago, no one would believe that the person standing in front of them was Miss Grace, the darling of Duke Wilhelm."How... did you end up like this?" The director was shocked.Grace gritted her teeth and looked down while clenching her fists. "I had an allergic reaction...""What kind of allergy could make you look like this?" People around her expressed their disbelief.Only Melanie's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.Thinking about the mysterious disappearance of more than half of her royal jelly from the dressing table, could it be that this foolish woman used it as a facial cream?Melanie couldn't help but stifle a laugh, and Grace, seeing her smile, quietly gritted her teeth.After the director and a few scriptwriters had their fill of laughter, he said, "Alright, our shooting schedule cannot be postponed. It's all in the contract. If you can reduce the swelling by tonight, we'll shoot you. If not, all the ex
The environment here was tranquil, with a sea of flowers blanketing a secluded valley. There was a river in the valley, and in the distance, there was a pristine snow mountain. As it wasn't the peak tourist season, there were few visitors, but the flowers along the road were exceptionally vibrant.Melanie walked deeper into the field.Suddenly, in a large area filled with camellias, she spotted a bluish-purple flower.Blue poppy!Her eyes widened slightly. This rare flower only bloomed in Azure City, and this was her first time seeing it in person.She couldn’t resist and approached to take a sniff. The unique floral fragrance instantly rushed into her nostrils. Closing her eyes, she couldn't help but feel inspired for the Perfume Blending Competition she was going to participate in.However, why would such a rare blue poppy be planted among the camellias?Suspicious, Melanie looked ahead. Not far away, she saw another blue poppy in another camellia bush. Curious, she walked for
"Prepare the car!" After Jeffrey finished speaking, he got up and quickly went downstairs. As the car arrived at the filming location, it could be seen from a distance that all the staff were in chaos. William directly pulled the director over, and they stood in front of Jeffrey. Seeing Jeffrey with a stern face, the director thought he was dissatisfied with their work and didn't plan to invest anymore. He hurriedly assured, "President Morgan, it's our mistake this time, but we've never had such an accident before..." "Have they found her?" Jeffrey's voice was as cold as a poisoned ice blade, interrupting the director’s nonsense. The director trembled in fear. "Not yet... we are doing our best in the search..." Jeffrey's eyes twitched. He was usually rational and his emotions rarely took control, but now he couldn't help it. "President, the search and rescue team has dived into the river to search for the madam. Although this part of the water is deep, the current is no
"A little," Melanie replied. "I don't believe you!" The anticipation disappeared from his eyes, and he resumed his cold tone. "You’re just a kid. How much would you know?" "In this house, there are scents of camellia, magnolia, fairy primrose, and rhododendron. If I'm not mistaken, you're making the middle notes of a fragrance. These scents are all light, elegant, and lingering. Therefore, you need a strong and deep floral scent to balance them out. That’s why you were waiting for the blue poppies to mature, right?" Melanie had only taken one breath, and she already analyzed the fragrances in the old man's house. The old man's eyes suddenly lit up, and after suppressing his excitement for a few seconds, he stared at her and asked, "Did you smell all of that just now? With just your nose?" Seeing the old man's exaggerated expression, Melanie smiled even though her lips were cracked and nodded. "Yes." The old man squinted his eyes and started to walk around in circles. He w
"They messed with my flowers! How can I do nothing?! Of course I had to see who was causing trouble!" the old man said irritably, still pained by the destruction of his blue poppy."Did you see what the person looked like?" Melanie asked, pressing on."What if I did? I don't know them, and I'm not a cop," the old man replied, giving her a side glance. "Aren't you still alive? I hope this teaches you to be more cautious in the future!"Melanie retorted, "I had a feeling it was a trap...""And yet you still jumped? How utterly foolish!" the old man mocked."But it was urgent, and no one else was around. If the person was really drowning and I didn't help, they would have died," Melanie earnestly explained.The old man smirked. "No one else around? What about me?""Would you have helped him?" Melanie asked."No way! If he ruined my flowers, I'd happily watch him drown!" the old man said stubbornly.Melanie sighed. Talking to this old man was like talking to a wall."Sir, my perf
