“Why are you crying?”“Cough!”Jeffrey couldn’t bear to see Melanie cry, especially when it looked like he was the cause of it.He was struggling to get up, but the moment he stressed his body, he started coughing to the point that his oxygen mask shook.“Don’t move! I’ll get the professor!”Melanie got up and tried to leave, but Jefford immediately grabbed her wrist, and she once again fell next to his bed.“Don’t move. You can call someone over later,” Jeffrey didn’t want her to leave. He had been longing for such a warm moment.Melanie could only feel her heart melt when he looked into her eyes deeply. She couldn’t refuse him, and simply let him hold her arm and stare into her.He looked at the dark bags under her eyes, noting how swollen her eyes were. She didn’t cry just a moment ago, but she had been crying for a long time.Was it because she was worried about him?Jeffrey gulped and held her hand, asking, “Does your finger still hurt?”Melanie shook her head.The man
Suspicion flashed in Professor Turner’s eyes as he asked, “What are the details?”The assistant then told him about what happened last night.During the test, both he and another assistant received an emergency call, and both of them picked up the calls for about two minutes at the same time. No one was in the lab when that happened.And the rule of the research base was that someone must always be in the labs at all times so that the accuracy of the results wouldn’t be tampered with.And out of carefulness, the two of them once again checked the analysis from yesterday one more time. They noticed that there was indeed something weird with the samples. They felt that someone might have intentionally tampered with it...“You’ve done well, both of you.”The professor nodded his head in acknowledgement. “Redo the test right now!’“Of course.”The assistant was just going to leave when the professor called out to him and said, “Wait! This needs to be done in secret. Don’t tell anyo
Melanie rolled her eyes and retorted, “Who said our alliance is firmer now? After this, I’ll have to be even more careful. Helping you is like committing suicide.”She then continued as she looked at the man’s confused expression. “When you were blinking, I thought your people were somewhere nearby and all we needed to wait for was for Harlow to be distracted so that we could capture him! That was why I took the risk and kicked him. But who could’ve known that you went there alone! You even used a helicopter to grab me away! Are you trying to get me killed making me fall to the ground?! You’re taking so many risks, and aren't exactly the best partner to work with.”“It’s called being brave,” Jeffrey corrected her.But she simply gave him a cold smile.However, Jeffrey’s eyes became filled with emotion as he asked her, “Why did you choose Gabriel at the time and not me?”She knew that the man wouldn’t let go of this.“Of course I’ll choose Gabriel. Even if I’m given another chance
“Are you mad?!”Melanie was both angry and helpless. She was thinking of taking care of him earlier!From the looks of it, Jefford wasn’t changing his lecherous behavior at all, even at the brink of death! He deserved everything that was coming for him!“All I need is to give your head a punch, and not even the gods will be able to save you!” She got up angrily, tidied up her wrinkled outfit, and left.She wasn’t going to watch a lecherous man like him through the night!Jeffrey smiled as he looked at her figure.He knew that he only needed to take things one step further and she would go back to her room to get some sleep.After Melanie left, Jeffrey quickly gave William a text. [Can I see Ermin tonight?][Boss, the madam will visit Master Ermin every night. She’s already gone over just now, and Master Ermin is already asleep. I’m afraid it may be difficult.] William replied.“Let him sleep. We can do this another time,” Jeffrey quickly replied.-Night. Melanie double ch
During the Jones Enterprise’s press conference, they would launch Melanie’s unique perfume and the first series of dresses marking Derrick’s return.As for the perfume’s name, Melanie had decided on the name “Endless Love” so that it could be easily accepted by the international market.In the beginning, when she first launched this perfume just for Jeffrey, she had named it while holding deep sorrow within her. But after everything she experienced, she felt that her love was actually endless.Even if they were eternally separated, she would love and miss him forever.Luckily, the series of dresses that Derrick designed also had eternal love as a theme.The entire press conference was decorated with love and romance in mind.Melanie and Derrick were there overseeing the work, and they were all very happy with the results.Derrick was also going to perform during the press conference. Originally, he wanted Melanie to be his accompanist, but she refused; she didn’t want to steal h
The final rehearsal was successfully completed.In fifteen minutes, the press conference would officially begin.Derrick would first have a speech about the Eternal Series wedding dresses.After so many years, his skills were still far beyond those of this era. He was still spearheading the fashion industry, sparking countless conversations about innovations. Half an hour ago, Derrick personally led the co-designer of the perfume series, Melanie.Melanie received the mic that was passed to her and got on stage.Only one spotlight was directly on her as she stood on stage, and everything was dimmed out. She was holding the first bottle of “Endless Love” that she had blended, and introducing its top, middle, and base notes, as well as the emotions that she wanted to invoke.In the last ten minutes, she would be open to questions from both the media and the guests that were present.After several normal questions, one of the reporters asked a particularly tricky question.“Miss
Although the question and answer section had ended, it was obvious that Linda was speaking to Melanie.All Melanie could do was remain on stage and make sure that she maintained her composure before walking off stage with a smile.“You’re a prodigious fragrance blender, and someone like you must have a lot of love to give. While unfortunate, your most beloved is gone. But now, you’re prepared to launch the perfume that you made especially for him... That means you’re ready to let it all go and open up a new chapter in your life. Congratulations!”Linda deliberately said all that despite knowing that Melanie couldn’t let go of Jeffrey at all.Melanie tried her best to smile, controlling the ebb and flow of her emotions.Linda understood her, and knew well where she would inflict the maximum amount of pain. She wasn’t planning to respond, because the more she said, the more mistakes she would make.Melanie once again prepared to leave the stage, but Linda continued to speak in a lo
“What do you mean?”Gabriel wasn’t sure why Melanie was worried.“I gave it a thought and I think we shouldn’t let our guard down. We should continue to expand our search. Earlier, we only checked the security cameras within the hall, but we didn’t check the ones outside.”Melanie continued, “According to the photos that Jefford sent me, Linda sent in five people. However, we only found two...”“Maybe the other three didn’t come in and are keeping an eye on things outside,” Gabriel analyzed. He didn’t want her to stress too much about it.“I know.”Melanie nodded. It was possible, but her sixth sense was telling her that things weren’t so easy.“Last time, Linda wanted to kill us by trapping us in a burning building. That’s how brutal she can be. But now, simply having two men in disguise slip in here so that Mr. Lynch’s unable to get on stage by triggering his asthma? This doesn’t fulfill Linda’s need for vengeance...”Melanie explained to Gabriel, “Not to mention that he has
