Melody, on the other hand, had already looked away, annoyed that her high alcohol tolerance still lost to Christopher. Hence, she did not want to see him at all."There's still some time, and the weather is pretty hot lately. Why don't you come in for a drink, young man?" Linette warmly invited him.However, without even allowing Christopher a chance to speak, Melody interrupted coldly. "He's not thirsty."Linette gasped and slapped Melody on the shoulder. "How could you say that?"Her granddaughter had always been the most polite little girl since a young age. What had gotten into her today?Christopher seemed a little awkward too, so he decided to ease the tension. "I have water in the car, and the check in might be earlier than we expected, so it's best that I save you the trouble."Linette could not help but feel impressed with his considerate answer, so she just waved the two goodbye. "Alright, be careful then. Remember to let me know when you land."After the car drove off
Natasha called Talia up at five in the morning on a hot sunny day, just so Talia could help her buy a limited edition purse. She even went as far as to request a video to prove that she was indeed queueing for the purse. Whenever Natasha had to go to a bar, she would ask Talia to take all her punishments whenever she lost a game, drinking alcohol as though it was mere water. Talia even had to endure the dirty jokes some old men made, all while serving every single person present at the bar.Natasha's friends could not help but sneer. "Isn't that the famous dancer Talia Stewart? What is she doing here?""What dancer? She's just my servant." Natasha mocked the woman, smiling smugly.In an instant, the entire bar roared with laughter. However, Talia could not do anything about it, merely gritting her teeth and enduring all of this in silence.She swore to herself that once her plans succeeded, she would make everyone here pay for looking down on her.That day, Natasha ordered Talia
As an internationally renowned model, Albert was the focus of everyone wherever he went. He attracted a lot of attention, and it was hard for Christopher to ignore him.Since they were in a public place, Christopher opted for a polite greeting. "Good evening, Mr. Scott."However, Albert seemed interested in furthering the conversation. "I didn’t know you’re in charge of the project, Mr. Bolton."Christopher narrowed his eyes slightly.Albert was looking at Christopher with a harmless smile, but his tone was far from harmless. "That’s right. Are you surprised?" Christopher shot back.Albert snorted coldly, "I thought you’d be keeping your eyes on the silk hand embroidery project you’ve taken over recently. After all, it’s a chance for you to finally get close to Mel."Mel? Trying to sound intimate, was he? He used to call her that.Christopher was filled with disgust and disdain, but his expression was calm. "She’ll contact me if she needs me. As for you, Mr. Scott, you’ve ne
Seeing that it was getting late, Christopher got out of bed, washed up, and changed into his usual suit. He ignored the dull pain in his stomach, and went downstairs.Steaming porridge and side dishes were already served on the dining table. The butler quickly greeted him. "Sir, you haven't had breakfast yet!""I’m late," said Christopher. He strode out of the door, and told the driver, "I want to be at the company in ten minutes.""Sir, you’ll get a stomachache if you don’t have breakfast!" the butler said worriedly. He rushed out, but only saw the leaving car. He could only sigh as it drove away.Christopher had been busy with work lately. The butler was worried about his health, especially now that he had skipped breakfast when hungover.Christopher reached the meeting room just in time. He had always been punctual, and had strict requirements for his employees.Luke pulled out the chair for him. He sat down, and began to listen to the heads of various departments report on
Luke caught the change in her expression, and sighed deeply."Mr. Bolton has been in a bad mood since last night, and didn't take his breakfast this morning. The doctor said he had a stomach problem caused by long-term depression, and that it would last for a while. He’s still lying on the bed..."Melody pursed her lips, but said nothing.Was that man really that sick?Luke tried to persuade her even more. "Miss Nolan, don’t you want to visit Mr. Bolton? He’s just upstairs."Melody looked calm. "It has nothing to do with me."Luke was persistent. "Just a few minutes, please?"Melody remained silent. Though she did want to see him, she was still furious with his rudeness that day. Besides, she couldn’t leave Leroy here alone.Leroy seemed to sense something. He looked at them, and suddenly said, "Mel, I’m fine. Go ahead."Melody choked for a moment. She never said she would go!Leroy blinked, confused. Huh?When Luke heard this, he looked at Leroy with great gratitude. He tho
Before Christopher could say anything, Melody left decisively, as if she refused to stay there a second longer.If she hated him so much, would she care about everything he had done for her?Melody left the ward, took a deep breath, and tried her best to calm down her emotions.It was so disgusting. Even the air where Talia had been around was repulsive and turbid.Melody put aside the messy thoughts, and returned to the counter. Leroy had made the payment, and was reading the medical report on the bench quietly.Just when he raised his hand to look around in boredom, he saw Melody, and stood up instantly, "That’s fast, Mel."Melody took his arm, as if it was a natural thing to do. "Yeah. What did the doctor say?""The doctor said that it hasn't fully recovered yet, so he prescribed some medicine for me." Leroy said. He smiled slightly when he saw how much concern Melody had for him. Melody was unaware of his shyness. After confirming that his hand really was fine, she said, "
Talia was good at seducing men, so Wyne was instantly tempted. He held her wrist, and asked excitedly, "Yeah. Are you ready, babe?"Talia smiled brightly. "I’ll be busy these days, but I know someone gorgeous. You’d like her."Wyne was interested. “Oh?”"Why don’t you see it yourself?"Talia first told Wyne to change his clothes. She gritted her teeth, and took out some jewelry from her collection for him."Remember what I’ve told you. This friend of mine is a bit squeamish, so you have to sweet talk her, alright?"Wyne curled his lips disdainfully. "This is such a pain."Talia sneered, "She’s worth it."After dressing up, they drove to Minkin Bar. Talia walked slowly to the booth, carrying the cakes Natasha ordered her to buy.Natasha was impatient. She snatched the paper bag from Talia's hand, and shouted, "You’re late, and you have the guts to hang up on me. I’m impressed!"She was annoyed. Talia promised to do anything for her, but failed to keep her word!Talia suppress
Melody took a sip of the coffee Jenson brought her. "In the past, artists could become famous through advertisements because everyone watched TV at the time, and short clips played on a loop with memory points would be impressive. But now, with the rapid development of social media, young people don’t watch TV anymore. "Emily suddenly realized it. "You’re right, Ms. Nolan."Seeing that Emily was nervous, Melody said calmly, "However, you have a point. We need more public exposure, but in a slightly different way. Instead of advertising, it’s better to…”She paused, Emily reacted immediately. "It's better to join a reliable reality show as a permanent guest! This way, we can farm popularity and create a personality for people to remember!"As expected, Emily was a malleable talent. Melody nodded approvingly. Although she wasn’t in a good mood, she was willing to inspire her talents patiently.Emily’s assistant immediately started typing on the keyboard. "We’re working on it!
