The assistant was terrified of her. "Fake?! Miss, I really didn't know. I had experts check it before! I never thought...""What useless experts! You're more useless than a dog! You’re a waste of space!" Remembering Melody's triumphant expression and the disdainful gazes of the crowd, Jasmine became so furious that her breathing grew rapid.She came here this time to gain some fame for herself!"Because of your incompetence, I'm being laughed at! Get your salary from the finance department today, and get out!""Miss, please, give me another chance..."Before the assistant could finish, Jasmine snapped and hung up.Inside the venue, the auction continued.The host's witty remarks managed to salvage the situation, alleviating some of the embarrassment caused by the fake item. There were still centuries-old marble stones and amethysts being auctioned. Ethan found them fascinating, and decided to bid on a few items to give to some pretty girls he recently met."What about the yel
Inside the restaurant, everyone enjoyed their meal. Laughter and joy filled the air. During the gathering, Albert served the dishes for Melody. He also prevented her from excessive drinking, displaying his caring and considerate nature.After three rounds of drinks, the gathering came to an end."Everyone, be careful on your way home."Melody waved goodbye to everyone, stepping out of the door into a refreshing breeze. Just as she was about to leave, she heard a familiar voice from behind. "Mel."Somewhat surprised, she turned around. "Albert, you're still here?"She hadn't seen him when she was saying goodbye to the others, so she assumed he might have work the next day and left beforehand.Albert chuckled. "How could I leave when you're still here? I... I'll send you home."As she approached him, she noticed two abnormal flushes on his face. Upon seeing his dazed gaze, it was evident he was somewhat drunk.It finally dawned on Melody. "Albert, how much did you drink?"She no
While Melody didn't get drunk at the gathering, she had a few drinks. After taking a shower, a bit of drowsiness crept in. Soon, she fell into a deep sleep.The next day, for the first time ever, she wasn't awakened by her internal clock but by the sound of her phone's message alert.Melody drowsily opened her eyes, stunned for a moment before realizing it was a workday. She abruptly sat up.Glancing at her phone, she saw several messages from Jenson. They were all related to a certain trending topic.Subsequently, she opened Facebook and saw the swirling rumors.She could imagine Jenson’s dilemma without even meeting him. "Ms. Nolan, should we take down the trending topic first or directly retaliate?"Melody's brain quickly cleared. She promptly replied with a few words. "Wait for me to discuss at the company."Suppressing her displeasure, she closed the app, quickly freshened up, and mentally prepared herself before driving to the office.It seemed someone was envious of No
Seeing her so frantic, Jenson poured a cup of coffee, intending to suggest she take a break. But Melody was so busy that he didn't even get a chance to halt her for a moment.This was the peak time for the The Boys Are Here. If this matter wasn't handled well, it would ruin the program's reputation. Leroy's future would also be at risk. All her hard work during this period would have been in vain!Sorting through batches of doubts, Melody couldn't find a moment of respite. Amid the chaos, a post quietly rose to the top of the trending list.Its content was even more explosive!"You've all been fooled by this woman! She disappeared three years ago, not for education or traveling the world, but to get married!"The comments section exploded instantly. "Married? Wait, what's this big news? I've never heard of it!""She just appeared a few days ago. When did she get married? Who's the husband?"The OP mysteriously and smugly replied, "You guys don't know. She's been married for
Christopher casually scrolled through the comments section, only to find many fans who had just become supporters of the couple expressing their distress."What? I just started shipping this pair, and they're already over?"He was frustrated to the point he got a headache. He slammed his phone upside down on the desk, and rubbed his temples in annoyance.In his frustration, the door creaked open. The only one who dared to barge in without knocking and disturbing Christopher's work was Ethan. Given his bad mood, Christopher didn't want to engage. However, it was Ethan who spoke up first. "What's wrong? Feeling dumped after seeing that clarification?"Hearing this, Christopher was on the verge of exploding. However, Ethan pressed him back down. "Don't get angry so quickly. Just listen to me.""First, don't get mad. Hear me out," Ethan said. "You've already divorced, and her clarification was reasonable. I can see you're upset. Anyway, I know a good place. Want to go?"Christopher
After a brief greeting, Melody introduced Albert to Luna. "This is my friend. He is also a model working in my company."Luna scanned Albert with admiring eyes and said approvingly, "I know him. Albert Scott, the famous supermodel and the only spokesperson for Louvotton's makeup products! You look more handsome in person than on the screen."Albert chuckled. "You are very charming as well, Miss Bailey."Luna glanced at Melody and was reminded of something. "Hey, didn't you tell me that another person is coming? That's why I made the booking for three. Why is it just the two of you?""Philip, you mean? Something suddenly came up in his office, so he will come over later.""Okay, I have asked the staff to get the clothes ready. We can go in first."They chatted happily while being ushered by the staff into the hot spring. Luna reserved the premium area called Fairview Pool for them, which got its name from its nice view. It was a highly maintained limited-entry luxury pool fi
Luna smiled in satisfaction. "Mel, you should really try the sexy styles more often. See, look at you now. You look very sexy in just a simple bathrobe. If I were a man, I would be charmed.""Luna Bailey, don't flatter me." Melody reached out to pinch Luna's cheeks.Luna quickly dodged her and pouted. "Hey! I am telling the truth. It is a compliment!"Melody was amused by Luna's aggrieved look. The latter's cuteness dispelled the former's stress and anxiety at once.She hugged Luna and winked. "Don't just praise me. You look cute, too. If I were a man, I would definitely fall in love with you."Luna was shy and lowered her head. "What, what love, there is no such thing…""I am just saying. Why are you so shy?" Melody leaned closer and teased her. "Oh… Could it be that there is some progress in your pursuit of my cousin? Is that why you stammered when I said it?"Luna's face turned as red as an apple when Levian's name was mentioned. She covered her cheeks with her
"Girls nowadays are really crazy…"Luna and Melody watched helplessly as Albert was surrounded by the girls. They shook their heads and walked away."He is handsome and elegant. It's only natural that girls would like him." When talking about Albert's popularity, Melody felt both glad and proud of her model who was also like a younger brother to her.Luna glanced at her and snickered. "If the boys who tried to pursue you in the past were here, they would probably surround you like this, too. Oh, I guess you don't need them, because many boys here are already looking at you."She leaned closer to Melody's ear and said playfully, "It can't be helped. My lovely Mel is such a beauty."Melody's ear felt itchy. She laughed and nudged her. "Who taught you this bad habit of talking cheekily?"They joked with each other, ignoring the blazing gazes around them.One was composed and beautiful, and the other was playful and adorable. They attracted the eyes of many male guests in the
