Melanie, unaware of many details, had a satisfying lunch and returned to continue her diligent work as an employee.In the afternoon, the investigation team concluded their questioning and began packing up to leave.Before departing, they left with a firm attitude. "Ms. Jones, Jones Enterprise cannot produce any evidence to prove its innocence. Now, with the testimony from White Group and public opinion online pointing fingers at you, we have reason to believe that Jones Enterprise is finding it difficult to shake off the responsibility for the plagiarized proposal.""Dear experts, please give us another chance. Our new product line is ready. Calling a halt at this moment would have a tremendous impact on Jones Enterprise." Melanie and several leaders from the Perfume Division chased after the investigation team, doing their best to advocate for themselves."Now, saying anything won't help unless you present evidence!"The investigation team showed disdain, continuing to walk away
The sudden burst of light made the mysterious intruder instinctively retreat, attempting to escape, but was restrained by several security guards who had been hidden at the door."Ms. Jones... didn't you leave for home earlier?"Pinned to the table, the person's face pressed against the surface stared at Melanie in disbelief.Melanie's sharp almond eyes gazed at the intruder. "Not only did I not go home, but the members of the investigation team are still here. We heard everything you just said."With that, she was joined by several members of the investigation team and the supervisor from the perfume division, all of them glaring at the intruder."Who would have thought the mole was you, Sheila."Melanie expressed some regret, "After the incident with the medical team in the mountainous area, there were many suspicious points that couldn't be connected. I pondered over it and even suspected there was an insider from the White Group in the medical team, but I never thought it was
Melanie blinked and said, "Because you're the tallest and strongest, good at taking hits."Kyle scratched his head, looking embarrassed.Laughter erupted from the staff around them, and Melanie chuckled. "Just pulling your leg! I chose you to cooperate in the act because you are brave and loyal. As it turns out, you did a great job! I promise you, our new perfume product line will become the star product in rescuing the entire department. When that happens, a fivefold increase in your annual salary won't be an issue."A genuine cheer filled the room.***Having resolved a series of internal espionage incidents, Melanie felt a profound sense of calm.What added to her relaxation was returning home to find Jeffrey absent.That night, she slept exceptionally well.The next day at noon, Melanie treated Annie to a meal.Looking at the table filled with delicious food, Annie exclaimed, "What's gotten into you, Mel? Why such extravagance today?""I've troubled you a lot recently, so
Melanie pursed her lips, glancing towards the composed Jeffrey, his thick eyebrows tightly furrowed, narrow eyes not lifting.Is it appropriate for her to present the proposal for cooperation in such a confrontational and aggressive manner? Has this not escalated to a personal attack?"Ms. Jones, no response?" Stephen's agent saw Jeffrey's increasingly unpleasant expression, thinking she had guessed right. President Morgan must not like Melanie's proposal, so he continued to criticize her, "Since Jones Enterprise hasn't even considered this aspect, today's collaboration-""Enough!"Jeffrey suddenly spoke, slamming the proposal on the table with a loud bang. William behind him was on edge, afraid that someone without tact might ask some suicidal questions."Ms. Jones, please excuse yourself and wait for further notice." William had refrained from calling her 'Mrs.' in front of outsiders.Melanie pressed her lips, leaving coldly with just two words, "Alright."She sat on the couch
Melanie returned to Marina Heights early.After changing her clothes, she headed straight to the kitchen.She pulled the housekeeper aside and inquired, "Rosette, what does Uncle Jeffrey like to eat?""Master doesn't seem to have any particular preferences in terms of food. I've paid special attention, and no matter what dish I make, he just takes a few bites without expressing likes or dislikes," the housekeeper replied.Is he treating himself like a king? Is he afraid of being noticed for his preferences, or perhaps he fears being poisoned?Melanie thought to herself, then asked again, "Well... nothing at all?""If I must say, Master likes soup. He will drink two bowls of the medicinal meals recommended by Dr. Noah," Rosette said."Alright, leave the kitchen to me today. You all can go and attend to other matters," Melanie said.Melanie cleared the kitchen and confidently took out her tablet, searching for a bunch of gourmet recipes, rolling up her sleeves as she readied hers
Did he still need to finish his meal? He was fed up with the whole situation!Jeffrey wheeled away, too exasperated to bother with Melanie's questions.Melanie followed suit, rising to her feet, with a senseless inquiry. "Then... Stephen's endorsement?"Jeffrey turned, casting a cold glance at the woman behind him. "There's no need for you to trouble yourself with cooking in the future. The Morgans can't afford such indulgences."Melanie stood in place, contemplating the profound gaze and stern tone Jeffrey had just used on her. She could not help but reflect on her superficial understanding of his unpredictable nature.Jeffrey took the elevator to the study upstairs. The anger from before had somewhat dissipated. He made a call to William. "What's the issue with Stephen's endorsement proposal? What's his agent dissatisfied with?""There's no problem, Sir," William answered cautiously."Then why hasn’t it been approved?"Recalling the scene in the meeting room today, Jeffrey fe
"Going back to your mother's place for no reason?"Jeffrey's cold voice struck Melanie. "They might think I bullied you."‘As if you have not bullied me!’ Melanie thought to herself.Melanie bit her lip. She did not want to argue in front of the housekeepers. She simply said, "You’re overreacting. Tomorrow is my mother's birthday, and I'm just going to spend some time with her." With that, she picked up her bag and left.Jeffrey hesitated for a moment, then went upstairs. Upon entering the room, he noticed the pearl tiara he had given her neatly wrapped on the table.Was it not said that this pearl tiara was something Melanie’s father had always wanted to give her mother? How could she be so disdainful of the gift he gave her?His paused, and a wry smile tugged at the corner of his lips.**While people could hide, problems could not be avoided. Melanie still had to try her best to secure Stephen's endorsement.After starting work, she locked herself in her office, meticulousl
In the afternoon, just when Melanie was nearly driven crazy by the unalterable proposals, she miraculously received a notification from the Morgan Group. It stated that Stephen's endorsement contract had been finalized.Not only that, but Stephen's team happened to be at a nearby studio, shooting a magazine cover. Melanie was asked to bring the advertising planners over to finalize the plan for the first ad shoot.Upon hearing this news, the dark cloud hanging over Melanie's head instantly dispersed. Without hesitation, she took the two advertising planners and headed to the studio.Inside the studio.Under the studio lights.Stephen was like a walking magnet, attracting women within a radius of several kilometers. With every pose he struck, it elicited waves of barely-restrained cheers."Stephen is impeccable, and the crucial point is the inherent sexual tension in his gaze. He’s like a real-life God," the photographer said to Stephen's manager.Stephen's manager was extremely
