Outside the ward, Annie bravely and passionately tutored Jeffrey.When she was back inside the ward, she felt proud. There were few people in this world who could make Jeffrey listen to them, and she was among those few now.To be honest, Melanie had been quite busy these past few days; not only did she have to participate in a bunch of meetings, but she also needed to confirm the promotions for the men’s perfumes. The budget perfumes were also ready to be marketed, and she needed to personally take note of all the details.But now, her foot was injured; she couldn’t go to the meetings anymore, so she might as well spend all her effort on the company's progress.In order not to let her colleagues know about the relationship between her and Jeffrey, Melanie would use video calls to confirm anything related to the company. In the meantime, she could directly catch up with Annie about the promotion.Annie walked in with her laptop, and Melanie asked with a pout, “Did you go get your
The second day, Melanie received a notice from the marketing department that Morgan Group had bought out all the naming rights for the low-priced perfume projects.Melanie frowned and glared at the man in the next room inside the ward, asking her assistant, “Seriously?”“Boss, after Morgan Group placed their bids, the other groups didn’t even dare to interfere. Not to mention that the offer Morgan Group gave us is too high...” the assistant on the other side said.Melanie scratched her head in distress. That person was a pure madman!Was he going to use the money to buy out her resistance?No way!She hung up the phone.While she couldn’t control how Jones Enterprise made their business decisions, she could choose where to stay. She booked a room at the hotel close to the hospital and then asked Annie to check her out.That way, she wouldn’t need to see that volatile but cold face. She didn’t want to go home for the time being either as the condition of her ankle seemed to be q
“Aunt Melanie, I know you fought with Uncle Jeffrey, but you need to have a bottom line. Once you do something, there’s no turning back!”Stephen advised her in a panic, worried that Melanie was going to do something because she was upset...Melanie was also quite shocked to see the man in front of her. She held her robe tightly and curiously walked over. “Why are you here?”She was walking absent-mindedly, but in Stephen’s eyes, she was doing it in an aggressive way. It was as if she was going to force him into a corner. And in the end, he was forced to the wall as he protected his chest with his arms.“Calm down, Aunt Melanie... D-Don’t come over...”Melanie frowned even deeper. She really couldn’t understand... To think that the uncle and nephew would appear here in turn... There was really something wrong with this room!Just then, another man’s voice came from behind them. It was clear, and also carried some anger.“What are you two doing?!”Since Melanie had really taken
Both Melanie and Jeffrey looked over together.They saw a man with many bags with him, including a very large fruit basket... It was Grant, here to visit Melanie.Jeffrey’s expression instantly turned cold as he looked at Grant, who came uninvited.Grant greeted him before putting his whole focus on Melanie and said, “I heard from my sister that you’re hurt, so I went to visit you at the hospital, but you weren’t there... It’s so hard to visit you sometimes.”“It’s alright. Why don’t you put the things down first?”Melanie looked at Grant, who was completely blocked by the fruit basket and had no choice but to give way.When Grant went in, Jeffrey did as well. He wasn’t going to leave when a thief was right there!Melanie hadn’t even spoken to them before receiving a call from the company. She apologized before going to the next room to deal with the call. Grant was a little awkward and couldn’t help asking Jeffrey, who was sitting on the sofa as if he owned the place...“I won
Melanie had already asked Annie about this a few days ago, but Annie refused to tell her. And she even avoided her for the next few days. She didn’t expect Melanie to ask about it again when she came here.“I didn’t get anything out of it... I just felt that he really was treating you sincerely. That’s why I gave him some ideas,” Annie said with her head lowered.“What kind of ideas?”“Strong women are scared of persistent men.”Annie’s head got even lower.Melanie sighed. So, that was the reason why Jeffrey would rather sleep on the sofa every night?But was he really being sincere?She felt that his heart was like shifting sands, something that she could never hold in her hand. Something that made her uneasy.Melanie shook her head and reminded herself that, whether Jeffrey was being sincere or not, her objective was to help her mom restore Jones Enterprise to glory!With one call, everything went according to her announcement proposal.Jones Enterprise caught the best timi
Recalling Mr. Smith’s friendly reminder when she last shot the cover of Waukeen’s Agora, Melanie asked without a hint of surprise, “Why does he want this room?”“He sent an assistant saying that the last time he was at this hotel, he stayed in this room. So, he also wants this room this time.” Elder Gibson’s assistant frowned impatiently.Melanie raised her eyebrow and said without even thinking, “Switch the rooms then.”He was a prodigy, right? So of course, he had plenty of quirks. Not to mention that she remembered Mr. Smith’s reminder not to provoke this prodigy.“You’re really going to switch, Melanie?”This assistant was very close with Melanie, so he had to think on her behalf. “The room that the prodigy wants to switch with you is on the top-most floor and is quite out of the way. I heard that the organizer was trying to fulfill his request for a quiet place.”The assistant sighed and said, “Now it is not a question of whether to change or not to, but our dignity! Since y
Without hesitation, he slipped into the room after he spoke and closed the door with a bang, locking everyone outside.Melanie blinked.She had not argued with someone like that for so long. She had just wanted to say that she didn’t want to switch rooms anymore. Gabriel was worried that he was wasting time, right? Then he might as well continue to waste his. However, she didn’t expect him to suddenly close the door and not give her a chance to do it at all.Elder Gibson’s assistant came over and asked Melanie, “What should we do?”“What can we do?”When a dog bit you, you couldn’t bite the dog back, could you?Melanie took her luggage and said, “Take me to my new room.”The room door had been locked tight by Gabriel, and there was nothing they could do, so he took Melanie to the room on the top floor that she had exchanged with Gabriel.That night, Gemma gave her a call and Melanie told her what happened. Gemma superstitiously said...“Bad luck the first day you’re out... You
The source of the fire was the bedroom where the smoke was the densest. Everyone behind her was scared. Soon, Melanie saw Gabriel lying on the floor next to his bed.She ran over and yelled, “Quick! Save him!”With that, she began to drag Gabriel out of the room. The few men behind her saw what she was doing and ran in to help her drag him out.Very quickly, someone began bringing in water to douse the flames while another helped others. Gabriel was lying on the floor of the corridor, his assistant crying out his name nervously.Melanie coughed and said, “Move away!”“He needs fresh air!”Everyone was shocked and instantly opened up some space. Melanie said, “Open the windows and doors to the side. Let the fresh air flow! Call the ambulance!”Everyone realized what they needed to do and did as she commanded.Three minutes later, Gabriel slowly opened his eyes.He saw Melanie sitting next to him. He blinked. “Why are you here?”“Stop being choosy. If it wasn’t for me, you’d al
