Melanie secretly took a deep breath, trying to soothe the stuffiness in her chest. “That’s his business.”“That’s right.”Leo nodded and started his car.Coincidentally, both cars were heading down the same route, with Jeffrey’s car right ahead of Leo’s.Only after she saw Jeffrey turn into a low-cost neighborhood did their cars finally separate.At this time, Leo suddenly received a call, and he stopped his car by the roadside and apologetically said, “I’m going to pick up the call. Please give me a second, sorry.”Melanie nodded.Leo then got out of the car and picked up a call while Melanie turned to look at the neighborhood. Leo was engaged with his call for a long time but didn’t see Jeffrey drive out.Which meant, he went to the woman’s home...Even if he were to send that woman home as a gesture of courtesy, there was no reason for him to stay for so long. Not to mention that Jeffrey would not show some mixed signals like this for the sake of courtesy. She couldn’t he
In the car, Melanie could feel that she was getting closer and closer to the truth. A flame burned inside her, and the twenty minutes felt longer than they actually were.Finally, she reached Morgan Group and immediately took the elevator to the top floor. William was once again shocked to see her there.“Why are you here, madam?”“Is Jeffrey inside?” She looked at the meeting room, whose doors were shut tight.“Yes.”Melanie was observing William’s facial expression. While he was genuinely shocked, he didn’t look like he was lying.“Fine, I’ll wait for him.” She didn’t say much and walked over to the meeting room opposite the one Jeffrey was in, then sat on the sofa, waiting.William didn’t dare to ignore her and quickly got her some drinks before quietly walking into the meeting room.Five minutes later, the door into the meeting room swung open, and Jeffrey walked out, heading straight for her.The moment that he appeared, Melanie felt all her worries disappear... As long a
Even when Melanie still had loads of questions in her mind, she had no chance to ask him any of them. That was because he could sense the man’s passion and sincerity, and she easily drowned in his overwhelming love...-Late at night, the tired man and woman embraced each other in Jeffrey’s office, covered by a thin blanket.It was starting to rain again outside, and the office returned to relative quietness. It was very suitable for a heart to heart.Melanie, still remembering her nervousness from before this, decided to start first.“Ahem,” she cleared her throat.Jeffrey pulled her hair back to her ears and said, “Should I raise the temperature?”“I have something that I want to ask you. Get serious.”Melanie made herself look more imposing and the man behind her nodded, rubbing his chin on her head.“Everyone in the meeting room is still waiting for you, right? Don’t tell me they’re still waiting?” She asked.“That’s what you want to ask?”Jeffrey tried not to laugh. “Th
After breakfast, Melanie insisted on wearing the same outfit from last night and even intentionally put on makeup that made it look like it was half-ruined. Only then could her plan be more believable.After preparing herself, she put on a mask and ran out of the elevator when most of the staff from Morgan Group hadn’t gone to work yet. She took a cab and went back to Jones Enterprise.Jeffrey was standing at the top of the building as he looked at the woman running to the plaza next to the road. Even when there was such a wide distance between them, he could tell how upset and pitiful she was just from her figure. He couldn’t help but smile. With that kind of acting skills, why did she support Lena in the first place? If she did it herself, she might be famous already.Suddenly, his phone rang. Jeffrey picked it up.“You’re right, boss. The moment the madam got into the cab, a car quickly followed them. I’ve checked the security camera footage. The car has been parked at the parki
“Melanie? Why are you alone here?”The voice was of someone who was graceful and lived a pampered life. Melanie turned around and was unsurprised to see Isla walking over.“You’re here alone, too?” Melanie asked.“My dad took me here,” Isla replied.Malanie blinked. Looks like Luis and Leo both were very close as well.“Did you just cry? Are your eyes swollen?” Isla asked her carefully.“I didn’t sleep well last night.”Melanie answered. Looks like she’d disguised herself pretty well. “Is my makeup ruined? I’m sorry, I’ll go to the washroom.”“Let me go with you,” Isla said and followed her.-The Mr. Price that Jeffrey had just met outside the York’s entrance was someone that had just signed a business deal with Morgan Group. They had agreed to come together to the Yorks tonight so that they could take a look at the first draft of the contract. However, William didn’t bring the contract with him at all.That was why Jeffrey yelled at him in fury in front of everyone just no
“Impossible.”Someone immediately denied that possibility. “Even if she didn’t die, she shouldn’t look so similar to the way she did back then. She and Jeffrey are around the same age, so she should be in her thirties as well...”“That’s right...”Everyone mumbled among themselves. “But that woman... She looks so much like her...”“Jeffrey is so obsessed with her!”Jeffrey put down his arm as they were surrounded by chatter, and Jane’s hand dropped. “Mr. Morgan, where are you going?”Jeffrey didn’t answer and immediately chatted with the person that came to greet him.Jane was very awkward as she secretly tightened her first. Then she remembered what Nathan had told her: as soon as she appeared in front of Leo’s home, Jeffrey would ask her to be his partner. That was why she had been asked by her manager to deliver the contract. Her managed, knowing that someone would definitely end up getting harshly scolded, had sent her out to take the heat, but she didn’t expect to really be
The party was quite huge. As the host of the party, Leo was busy entertaining his guests. Only when the melody started did the crowd start to move to the dance floor and he had some time to look for Melanie.“I’m so sorry for leaving you on your own.”“You’re being too polite, Mr. Leo.” Melanie gave him a courteous smile.“We’re not strangers. Just call me Leo,” he said.“I can’t get used to it so suddenly, but I’ll try,” she said as she maintained some distance.“Do you want to dance?”Leo looked at the dance floor that was slowly getting exciting. Melanie nodded and said, “Sure, I’ll take my leave for now...”Leo was speechless.His invitation was stuck in his throat as he looked at Melanie walking to the dance floor alone...Luis told him that Melanie spent the night at Morgan Group last night, but she went running out of there in the morning crying... Was she so upset that she was going to dance alone?On the other side, the company owners that were chatting with Jeffrey
“A... A keycard?”Jane was getting even more nervous.“What’s there to be afraid of?”Nathan said on the other end of the line viciously, “I told you on the first day you accepted this job that you’ll have to be prepared to sleep with Jeffrey. And more than once! What? Feel that you’re too good to be sleeping with him?”“No... It’s not...”Jane was starting to stutter. “It’s just that... His girlfriend is here... How can he... Come with me...?”“All you need to do is remove your clothes and wait inside the room. I’ll make sure Jeffrey loses himself the moment he sees you! You don’t have to worry about the rest! The room number is on the key card. Don’t get it wrong!” Nathan gave his orders and hung up.Jane calmed herself down. She turning back after cheering herself up.-A song had ended.Melanie felt somewhat lightheaded and instinctively held Jeffrey’s arm to calm herself down.“What is it?” he asked.“It’s nothing. I’m just feeling a little dizzy.” She let go of his ar
