Melody was completely unaware of what was going on.She and Albert went to a popular pastry shop.The staff recommended their most popular black forest cake to the two with great enthusiasm. The cream was sweet yet not overly rich. The decorative cream flowers on the cake were both intricate and charming. This delightful cake instantly captured Melody's heart.They picked a bright spot in the pastry shop and settled in.Albert flashed a bright smile. He raised an eyebrow and inquired triumphantly, "How is it? I know you'd like it."Melody chuckled and conceded, "You're right. It's delicious."Melody's phone was buzzing constantly as they casually conversed. She had completely missed it until Albert pointed it out. "Melody, your phone is ringing."He had hoped they could enjoy their date uninterrupted, but if someone kept messaging Melody, it must be urgent.Surprisingly, it was from Jenson."Ms. Nolan, today's news is bad publicity for our company. Someone is making stuff up
The issue quickly gained the attention of Albert's fans.Even though they had no idea who the "girl" in question was, his influence was overwhelming.All of Albert's devoted followers were convinced that their idol could not be wrong. More importantly, he had presented convincing evidence."Albert even made the video evidence public. Facts speak louder than words. What else do you have to say?""That's right, Albert is a man of character. There must be some shady story here if he's having problems with it.""You can't take one side of the argument! What are your intentions? Are all of you paid posters?"A popular idol's influence was immense. Albert was well known in the industry.The tide turned quickly in favor of Melody. Considering the evidence's weight, nobody could look the other way.Albert read the comments by scrolling down. His eyes twinkled with delight."Melody, everything is fine now. The dust has finally settled."He had used his ability to aid Melody in resolvi
"Okay."Albert left hesitantly and glanced back at Melody repeatedly.She took a taxi back to the office. During the ride, she rested by shutting her eyes.She overheard the lively discussions of her staff once she entered the office building."It's Ms. Nolan!"The employees all turned their gazes toward Melody at the same time.Astonished by their excitement, Melody wondered, "What's going on?"The crowd began to gather around her and gaze at her in awe."Ms. Nolan, you are incredible! The stock market fluctuations sent us into a state of panic. You solved the problem before we could even come up with a solution.""And Albert! He's an international supermodel!" exclaimed a young girl with a ponytail. "How sweet is his post?""Yes! And you're absolutely right! He's handsome, and you're stunning! I'm totally rooting for you two."They showered her with compliments. Melody thought their excited expressions were adorable, but she did not say much. She gave a warm smile in res
As soon as the workday ended, Melody headed home.She opened the mahogany door to find a tall, attractive man standing by the living room window.Levian was talking to someone over the phone. His usually kind tone was tinged with coldness.He reprimanded, "How did you do your job? I thought it was very clear that I didn't want to see that model again. Are my words being ignored? You have one last shot at this. Keep her out of my sister's sight, or you'll be fired!" After hearing a squeak from behind him, Levian turned around to look.His hostility and hatred melted away the moment he laid eyes on Melody.He inquired with his gaze full of affection and care, "Mel, you've come home?"He walked up to her and sat her on the sofa.She asked him to join her and felt touched by his concern. She advised, "Don't get so worked up, Levian. It's bad for your health. I know you care about me, but you shouldn't get too emotional.""It's nothing, but those incompetent fools…forget it."
Levian's voice was almost inaudible as he spoke.Melody was too preoccupied with her tea and treats to notice his strange behavior."Miss." The butler interrupted Levian just as he was about to speak. He bowed and said, "Miss Evelyn is here and wishes to see you."A look of disgust formed on the butler's face as Evelyn was mentioned. He was sure that Melody would be troubled once more by this evil woman.Levian wrinkled his brows, and his eyes flashed a stern expression. "She has the audacity to show up here," he scoffed.Melody, on the other hand, kept her cool and set down the grape gracefully.She then gave the order, "Bring her in."Evelyn entered the manor in timid and small steps. She came to a halt in front of Melody with a timid expression on her face."Mel...cousin! I'm sorry..." Her tone was as gentle as a murmur.Her excessive drama was getting on Levian's nerves. She put on a show of submission and obedience, but she was brutal behind their backs."Can't you speak
A little later, Luke continued, "It's Director Digby that was on today's headlines." Christopher was irritated by the interruption.He opened his eyes with a grim frown. He flat out refused to meet with him, saying, "I don't want to see him."People like Digby were not worth his time or energy."Mr. Bolton, he didn't come alone," Luke cautioned. "His wife is with him, and she's crying uncontrollably. This circumstance does not reflect well on us. Should I drive them away or...?"For a few seconds, Christopher was silent. He reached up and gently rubbed the area in between his eyebrows and issued an order, "Bring them in."Luke complied quickly.Two people followed him inside the study shortly after."The guests have arrived, Mr. Bolton."Digby bowed quickly and greeted Christopher upon seeing him."Howdy, Mr. Bolton."The swelling and bruises on his face, however, gave him a really comical appearance.The woman who stood behind him was of middle age, and she had a large, squ
Christopher's expression was one of utter disdain.Digby was deeply humiliated. He opened his mouth but dared not say anything else when he noticed Christopher's intimidating expression and vicious gaze.Megan gave him a look of resentment, knowing that she would have to clean up after him."This idiot has made a mistake, Mr. Bolton. I've taught him a lesson, and I hope you'll consider our family's situation and overlook this. Please spare our company." Even though it was not her fault to begin with, Megan still begged earnestly.Instead of responding right away, Christopher remarked, "What you should consider now is finding a lawyer to draft a divorce agreement."When Megan heard his response, she was confused and asked, "What do you mean?"Christopher's expression froze as he remembered his mother's anguish, and how she nearly fainted after discovering his father had an affair.Speaking from personal experience, he said, "Men who claim they're just fooling around and will ev
A plethora of code flashed on the screen. Though Melody was unable to decipher its meaning, she recognized it as the technique of an IT hacker at work.As far as she could tell, the mysterious man was giving her lessons in the craft."Come, give it a try," he gently instructed.Melody's body seemed to move on its own. Her fingers just started tapping away at the keyboard. She questioned who he was and leaned in closer to get a better look at his face. It appeared as though an ominous force had bound her limbs, preventing her from moving them at will.He spoke in a soothing tone of praise, saying, "You've done incredibly well. In just a couple of months, you've surpassed my level of expertise.""Of course!" Her tone was full of enthusiasm and determination. She retorted, "You like somebody better than you. Naturally, I have to be better than you."Melody fought desperately. Despite this, she was still powerless to control her actions in her dream.Then she awoke from it.
