Melanie had just entered the car and wanted to calm down, but her emotions made it difficult.She instinctively held the left side of her chest, feeling her irregular heartbeat with a cold smile on her face.Was she that bad at judging men?She thought that it was because she was too naive and didn’t know love. That was why she met with the cheating Bryan West. Then, after getting her lesson, she accidentally married Jeffrey. From the beginning she was extremely wary of him, only seeing the wisdom, decisiveness and justice in him after experiencing so much together. She had finally seen the kindness that he had hidden, and the respect he had for her. She had only started to let her guard down, feeling that they could finally know each other better and love one another...She didn’t expect that, not realizing it despite her sensitivity, that what he looked up to and respected wasn’t her, but something inside of her that didn’t belong to her in the first place...She didn’t want to
“Master Stephen, please don’t use rubbish plotlines from dramas like that to scare my boss.” William couldn’t take it anymore and said to him as he stood up.The madam was simply shocked... She wouldn’t be so surprised that she would kill herself!After a while, William reported back the information he received. “Boss, the madam has finished checking on her heart and is now on her way back to the city.”“Drive home.”Jeffrey said coldly and the car started to move, leaving Stephen behind in the night, weak and helpless.-However, when Jeffrey reached their home at Marina Heights, Melanie was nowhere to be seen. Only after a while did he receive news that her car was headed for North Street.“North Street isn’t the direction heading to the Jones...”William mumbled when he heard Jeffrey order, “Go and check where Annie Snow’s residence and company are located!”Three minutes later, William quickly said, “Found it, Boss! Annie’s company is in the same direction as North Street
“I’m tired. I’ll borrow your bed to sleep for the night.”Melanie didn’t say anything else and simply jumped into the bed in Annie’s office and got under her blanket.Annie didn’t want to see her being on her own and got up as well, hugging her. “Let me accompany you.”“Don’t worry about me. Get back to work.”“Forget about work. None of my plans are usable tomorrow!” Annie said angrily.-The next day, Melanie was sneezing and had a fever. Annie was very nervous because she knew that Melanie caught a cold from the rain last night.But she couldn’t find any medicine despite searching high and low. “Wait for me. I’ll get you some medicine.”“Don’t worry about it. I want to sleep a little more. Go to work,” Melanie said sleepily.Looking at the time, Morgan Group’s tendering had already started. But looking at Melanie’s pale face, Annie decided she was going to show Jeffrey what she was made of using this chance!“Alright. Wait for me. I’ll get some medicine for you when I get
All Annie did was start some chaos and she didn’t say anything about partnering up, and his boss was... going to sign a contract with the Snows directly? William looked at Jeffrey with wide eyes as he didn’t understand.His boss had always been someone that was very impartial, even when it came to Master Stephen. Even when Madam Morgan asked for him to take care of her friends, he would still oversee the process strictly and showed little leniency...“Do you not understand what I said?” Jeffrey asked unhappily.“I understand.”William didn’t dare to say anything else. He quickly ordered his people to prepare the contract and accompanied his boss who personally went to Snow Group.-After Annie got it all out of her system, she immediately headed back to her company from Morgan Group. She didn’t forget to get some cold medicine for Melanie from the pharmacy on her way back.When she got back, Melanie had just woken up.Annie gave her the medicine that she had just finished prepa
Jeffrey had never been kicked out before, especially not on his turf in Harbor City. Since becoming Jeffrey's assistant, William had never experienced anything like this before either. He was angry and embarrassed, but there was no other emotion on Jeffrey’s face except a hint of melancholy. "President Morgan, the sales department just reported that Jane has returned to work..." William broke the silence in a timely manner, not wanting Jeffrey to sink into a low mood. "Should we notify her to resign?" "No." Jeffrey raised his eyes, and there was finally a hint of sharpness in his gaze. "Let her stay. She's just bait, and can be used positively or negatively." "I understand." William nodded. "What about Mrs. Morgan?" "Assign someone to keep an eye on her and report everything to me. Be meticulous." Jeffrey's brow furrowed again. Half an hour later, just as Jeffrey's car arrived at Morgan Group’s parking lot, William received a call and his expression turned serious. "P
"Ahem!" Melanie almost choked. "Don't talk nonsense." "If he doesn’t have any intentions toward you, why is he so concerned about you?" said Annie, with a gossiping look in her eyes. "Probably just repaying a favor,” Melanie replied. "Got it." Annie pursed her lips. "It would have been better if you didn’t mention repaying favors, but once you bring it up, it can only be repaid with marrying him. In my opinion, this Gabriel isn’t bad. He’s quite good-looking, and his strength in the fragrance world is not inferior to Jeffrey in the business world. Why not consider him? The best way to heal a broken heart is to get a rebound." "I'm going to sleep." Melanie closed her eyes, ignoring the woman next to her who was suggesting dubious ideas. Out of the corner of her eye, Annie saw Melanie close her eyes. Across the aisle, Gabriel turned off the overhead night light and removed his hearing aid... Over ten hours later, the plane arrived in Medonia on time. Gabriel and his a
"Do you know what you're talking about?" Harlow snarled.He couldn't tolerate it any longer. He valued his pride the most, and no one had ever dared to say that his health was bad. Besides, his health was undoubtedly the best among the entire Yorks. That was without a doubt! Because he was in good health, his grandfather always favored him to inherit the family business. This woman had a lot of guts to publicly claim that he was sick! "I know exactly what I'm saying." Facing the roaring beast, Melanie shielded Annie behind her, her expression calm. "At the Angle family’s centennial celebration, I demonstrated my ability to identify herbs by smell in public. That should ring a bell for you, Mr. York. I’ve been studying traditional medicine ever since I was young, and I know the ways of observation, smelling, questioning, and pulse-taking. Your illness has already penetrated into your bones." Seeing her speak with such conviction, Harlow's subordinates behind him were frig
In this International Perfume Blending Competition, there were two main themes: "Mystery" and "Solution." Participants needed to create two different perfumes based on these themes. The competition would last for five to nine weeks. After five weeks, as long as the perfumes were completed and aged, it could be submitted any time. However, before the final submission of the finished product, all participants must create their fragrances at a designated location. Participants could enter and exit their fragrance blending room at any time, but were subject to monitoring each time they were in the room. During the time not spent in the fragrance blending room, participants could choose to stay in the hotels arranged by the organizers, or go elsewhere. Annie accompanied Melanie to the hotel arranged by the organizers. After checking in, she received an email from a private detective. When Melanie came out after taking a shower, she noticed Annie's unusually low spirits and asked,
