Melody subconsciously bit down on her lips with concern, then looked to the fire behind her. Her eyes glimmered from the light illuminated by it.The two workers took a lot of strength to carry Christopher to the car, considering his tall and built figure. Wiping the sweat off of their foreheads, one of them panted softly and said, "We've placed Mr. Bolton in the backseat.""Thank you. This fire would be hard to extinguish with just fire extinguishers and water, so it's best to just ask your manager to call the fire department to handle this." Melody gave orders in Christopher's stead."Understood."Melody nodded to them one last time before getting into the car, starting the engine. With that, she drove off, leaving a trail of dust behind her. Now with Christopher in the backseat, Melody drove slightly slower than her usual speed.She took a glance at the man through the rearview mirror, mumbling with a blank expression, "Now we're even, Christopher."Soon, they arrived at the
"Okay, you can stop pretending," Melody said.Although Melody had called him out, Christopher wasn’t embarrassed. He smiled playfully.He looked at her, and then said confidently, "You saved me just now." When he was at the construction site, he was sure that the fragrance he smelled came from her."You saved me first. We're all clear now," Melody said expressionlessly.Christopher raised his voice slightly, and smiled ambiguously. "Why did you come to my construction site? Was it because of me?"He hoped that Melody still loved him.Melody stared at him, speechless. Christopher didn’t care about the source of the fire—instead, he was making fun of her.She glared at him with a cold expression. "Don't get me wrong. You’re my business partner. I did it for our project.""Anyway, you saved me this time. How should I thank you?" He stared at Melody perversely, added slyly, "How about a night with you?"These words seemed to turn into knives, cutting her heart into pieces. She c
Melody sneered. What a surprise! Alvarez Group had spies in both Nolan Enterprise and Bolton Enterprise.Christopher's hands tightened, and the veins on his bony hands stood out. Just then, Luke's call came in."Mr. Bolton, someone hired trolls and made the news trending. We've tried to explain on our official website, but it has limited impact," he said anxiously. "Do anything to stop it from spreading!" Christopher ordered angrily. He must stop it from spreading further before it was too late!Suddenly, a loud commotion could be heard outside.Melody walked to the window, and looked down. She saw a mass of human heads underneath, with flashlights and a camera.She turned to look at Christopher. "Those reporters must be here for you."Christopher was annoyed. "I'll get someone to chase them away."Suddenly, Melody thought of something, and turned on the TV."At noon today, a fire broke out on Bolton Enterprise's construction site. The aging equipment at the construction site
Perhaps the hacker was overconfident, so he didn’t set up too many traps to confuse Melody. She simply followed the digital footprints and compromised his computer. Pop-up windows showed the hacker trying to log into his system continuously. She prohibited all his requests. After that, she cleared away the digital footprints and then began to patch the loopholes in the system. When that was done, she restored the computer interface to its original state.She thought that all the digital footprints of the invasion had been eliminated. The moment she shut down her computer, however, a blue light flashed across the screen.She returned to the hospital with a smile, evidently in a good mood. She opened the ward door, and walked in. As soon as she entered, she heard Christopher talking on the phone."Are you blaming me? Excuse me?! What have you done all this while?" He sounded a little angry.Melody stood at the door of the ward quietly."I tolerated your slacking off. You have no
"Mel, I saw the news of the crisis Bolton Enterprise is facing. It seems to have impacted them greatly. Everyone’s still talking about it, even though it has been clarified. You know we can't stop people from talking. This will be a hard time for Bolton Enterprise.”Linette looked worried. She cared for Christopher.Melody grew alert when she heard that.Linette looked at Melody, and asked, "I trust Christopher. He’ll get over it, right?"At that moment, two figures were walking down the stairs."Grandma, Mel must be tired. Let her rest first.""Yeah, let that guy solve his own problem. You should ask Mel whether she needs a supper or not."Andrew and Levian came down the stairs and stood next to Melody, one on the left and one on the right. Both looked concerned for her."Your supper should be ready soon," Levian said dotingly, laughing.Andrew also showed his care. "I bought you your favorite dessert." Linette laughed as she watched them taking turns caring about Melody. "
Philip glanced at Melody. He stepped forward, and gently twisted the lock under the door handle."Melody, the door seems to be broken."Hearing that, Melody immediately quickened her pace and walked to the door."Why now?" she murmured, as she turned the door handle.The door remained motionless. The distance between her and Philip inadvertently narrowed."Strange, it has never been broken." Melody pursed her lips, confused.Her soft, long hair gently brushed the fabric of Philip's suit.Feeling a soft touch on her elbow, Melody realized that she and Philip were now too close. Being so close, she could feel the clean and refreshing scent of pine emanating from him.Her eyes glittered with embarrassment. Melody pulled out her phone from her pocket, and calmly distanced herself from Philip. "I'll call someone to fix the door." The light at the door was dim, and a faint halo enveloped her body. She lowered her head, and focused on her phone.From Philip's point of view, only
Linette was silent for a few seconds, then sighed softly. "As long as Mel is happy, anything’s fine."Although she favored Christopher and Philip, she prioritized her granddaughter's feelings first and foremost.Melody, who had just got into the car, suddenly felt her nose going itchy. She sneezed.Philip turned to look at her worriedly. "Are you okay?" Melody waved her hand. "Yeah."Thinking of Levian and Linette making fun of her, she explained, "They’re just joking."Philip knew his place, and was grateful enough to be by her side like now. He didn’t dare to ask for more. It wasn’t possible, either.He suppressed his desire and smiled softly at her, revealing his beautiful white teeth. "I know."Melody stared at him, feeling that something was strange about Philip. However, upon thinking of what she had to do soon, she put her thoughts aside. She moved, and started the car engine.The sky gradually darkened, like thick ink that couldn’t be dissolved. She drove from the bus
The reporter's words sounded ridiculous. She had deviated from the track of exploring the facts. Her purpose was to piss Christopher off!If Christopher got angry on the spot, the launching ceremony would be ruined.Ethan realized the reporter's intention. He frowned, and shouted, "Security, take her away!"The reporter's hands were restrained, and her microphone was taken away. Furious, she shouted aggressively, "Answer me, Mr. Bolton! Are you feeling guilty? Are you too scared to answer?"Ethan glanced at Christopher standing beside him with a cold expression, and his frown deepened. What on earth was this woman thinking? Did she know who she was dealing with?"Wait." A cold voice rang amidst the commotion.Everyone's eyes fell on a woman in a long, dark blue dress.Melody's black hair and red lips brought a strong visual impact to them; her perfect face was dazzling and eye-catching."The answers to your questions can be found on Bolton Enterprise’s official website. Thi
Luna nodded solemnly.Levian smiled, and rubbed her head. "Thanks for considering. I appreciate it."He took out his phone, and typed something.Luna watched curiously, and leaned forward to take a look. She was stunned when she saw that he had posted their photo on Facebook.She said quickly, "Delete it before they see it!"She regretted telling him that.Levian put the phone back into his pocket, and hugged her. "Everything's going to be fine. Don't worry."Luna understood his intentions, and said nothing."I promised you I'll never let you down. That's not the reason for you to be my secret lover. I don't have to please my fans. I'm rich. I'm a professional racer, not a gigolo."Levian words sounded so sincere, Luna was touched. She raised her head to look at him, stood on tiptoes, and kissed his lips.Levian was stunned. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled. "You amaze me, Luna.""Huh?" Luna looked at him confusedly."You’re brave enough to kiss me now."She blush
The sales assistant grabbed the old lady’s hand, and demanded, "You must pay for this dress!"Levian grabbed the sales assistant's wrist, and threw her to the side. The sales assistant staggered a few steps away due to the force."That’s not how you should talk to an elder."Luna stood before the old lady, and looked at the sales assistant coldly.The commotion attracted the crowd. The sales assistant looked panicky."It’s none of your business!" the sales assistant yelled, staring angrily at Luna and Levian.Luna blocked the old lady from the sales assistant's sight.The sales assistant observed them, and said sarcastically, "Tourists, huh? Mind your own business."Levian stared coldly at her. The sales assistant was frightened by Levian’s gaze."It seems your parents didn't teach you good manners. I don't mind teaching you today," he said coldly.The sales assistant shuddered. She had seen all kinds of people in the store, and could feel the pressuring aura of Levian.Her
Luna and Levian saw him, and smiled.After noticing their gaze, McCain's expression returned to normal. He walked toward them casually."Luna, did you sleep well last night?" he asked with a gentle smile.Luna was disgusted by his smile, and responded coldly, "Yeah."Levian grinned playfully, and said, "How about you? You looked tired."McCain’s smile froze. He looked a little panicky, and made an excuse to leave. "It's almost time. Let's find our seats."He left quickly afterward.Luna stared at him coldly. McCain looked weird to her."Why are you staring at him? Charmed?" Levian asked. He seemed jealous.Luna looked at Levian, and smiled, "Yeah, by you."Levian’s smile widened.McCain left the building and called Matt, but Matt didn’t answer. He gripped the phone, tightly and cursed under his breath.-A spotlight shone on a man, who walked to the stage under applause.Luna also clapped."That’s Gerald Bell, the president of Bell Group, the leading Group in Franconia,"
Luna opened the door, and saw Levian leaning against the door frame with a helpless expression."What's wrong?"Levian shrugged. "The door lock of the smaller bedroom is broken. I can't get in."Luna glanced at the smaller bedroom, then looked at Levian suspiciously. "You didn't break it, right?"Levian immediately retorted, "Of course not!"Luna stared at him doubtfully.Levian touched his nose, and said in disappointment, "I'll take the sofa, then."Luna pondered, and whispered, "The master bedroom is enough for both of us."She couldn’t bear to let Levian sleep on the sofa in the living room. Besides, she trusted him.Levian smiled, lowered his head, and kissed her forehead. "Thanks, Luna."Luna blushed, and her heartbeat accelerated. She was curious, how did Levian know that?Levian put his arm on Luna's shoulders, and entered the master bedroom."You go take a shower first," he offered."Okay."Luna walked to the bathroom with her clothes. Not long after, the sound o
Benito looked at Juan, and winked at his subordinates. His subordinates walked toward the Hellers."I want to know who sent them," Benito commanded in a deep voice.The Hellers were terrified, and spilled everything.One of Benito's subordinates walked to Benito. He nodded politely to Levian, and reported in a low voice, "A man named McCain sent them."Levian's expression changed.He knew it!"What should we do with them?" Benito's subordinate asked.Benito looked at Levian, and asked, "Levian, what do you say? I can keep McCain under custody.""Teach them a lesson, and make them cooperate," Levian said with a dangerous grin. "As for McCain, I have a plan for him."He looked at Luna in the car. McCain would never take the risk if he actually had feelings for Luna and cared for her. He wondered if he was McCain's target, or if this had something to do with the business summit."Okay," Benito said. He turned around and commanded his subordinates, "Take care of them and make the
The cemetery was ahead."Levy, they slowed down," Luna said. She frowned, confused.Levian quickly turned the steering wheel, and made an emergency 180-degree turn.Luna quickly grabbed her seat belt and closed her eyes after seeing the bright lights from the car tailing them. She then looked at Levian in confusion, wondering what he was up to.She was terrified when she saw Levian drive toward that car. They were going to collide! Suddenly, she heard a sharp friction sound, and both cars passed by each other.Levian turned the steering wheel again and circled around that car.He smiled and assured Luna, "Don't be afraid, Luna. Everything will be fine. Trust me."Immediately, Luna was calm.The driver of the car tailing them seemed irritated by Levian's provocation; he sped up, and tried to slam into their car.Levian grinned; he sped up as well, and drove away from that car.The driver seemed to realize something; he quickly slowed down, and turned around to drive out of the
Luna carefully poked Levian's arm.He grabbed her hand, and quickly pulled her toward him, "I'm your boyfriend."He gritted his teeth. No one knew how much he wanted to punch McCain when he saw that slimeball approaching Luna.Luna grinned, amused. "He's just a friend. You're my sweetheart."Levian was the best! No one deserved her attention except him.Hearing that, Levian was pleased and smiled. He put his hand against Luna's palm, their fingers intertwined.The driver suddenly braked when passing through an alley, and their bodies leaned forward."What happened?" Luna asked. She looked anxiously at Matt, the local driver she and Levian hired."Something ran through just now," Matt explained while unbuckling his seat belt. "I wonder what that was."He left the car and walked around.Luna heard a meowing, and saw a black cat pass by. She pointed in the direction, and asked, "Was it that cat?"Matt looked in the direction of her finger. "I don't see any cat. Probably a stray
Levian looked handsome and gentle under the spotlight. He took the microphone, and said slowly, "It's my honor to deliver my speech today. This summit brings together business talents from all over the world..."Levian kept his eyes on Luna as he spoke, and she concentrated on his speech.They noticed each other's gaze, and smiled.McCain tried to chat with Luna but noticed her gaze. He bit his lip, jealous. He quickly took his phone, and showed it to Luna, "Hey, Luna, I found the emails."Luna was too focused on Levian's speech, so McCain’s interruption annoyed her. She grabbed it, and read the emails. While Luna was reading the email, McCain looked at Levian and smirked. Levian's expression changed, and he spoke faster.Luna briefly read two emails. They were McCain's remarks about music, and how much he missed her. She breathed a sigh of relief when she didn’t find any confession.Still, she was a bit moved by the memories. She returned the phone to McCain, and said, "Than
Levian and Luna turned around, and saw a tall man with blond hair and blue eyes."You look so beautiful today! It took me a while to recognize you."He observed Luna as he spoke.Luna frowned, uncomfortable with his gaze, and asked politely, "Do you know me?"That man was a stranger to her."Oh, don't you remember me?" The man clutched his chest as if he was hurt, and sighed. "I'm McCain. We were in the same music camp for three months, when you were seventeen."Luna thought for a while, and finally remembered him. She nodded, and smiled politely. "Oh, yes. It’s nice to meet you again.""I'm so glad I come. It's good to see you again." McCain smiled happily.Levian stared at McCain with a frightening expression that hinted at anger.Music camp, huh?He could sense McCain's intention.Luna noticed Levian's expression, and said to McCain politely, "The party is about to start. Let's take our seats."She wanted to leave, but McCain blocked her way. "I missed you so much. I l
