As soon as the words left her, she felt she had asked a foolish question. Why would he not know? Being in the same company as your husband was not ideal, especially if he was your boss. Worst of all, if anything went wrong, he would find out right away. She sighed and looked upset, "Since you’re aware, you should also know that this was the company's arrangement. Since I’m a small employee, of course, I have to obey the arrangement." "Why do I hear resentment in your words? If you don't want to go..."Before he could finish, Lily interrupted quickly, "Who said I didn’t want to go? I just haven't had the time to tell you, not because I didn’t want to." "The temperature changes a lot from morning to night in Middle Valley, so remember to bring a jacket," he replied, not wanting to continue the topic. Lily was a little surprised. She thought he would raise a different opinion but did not expect it to go so smoothly. Nonetheless, since the company arranged it
Nathaniel smiled helplessly, “I’m sure you know I treat you as my treasure, so don’t be willful, okay? Still, I don’t like the way he looks at you.”Any woman would be thrilled to hear these words of jealousy. Melanie smiled, squinted, and then drilled into Nathaniel’s arms. “You’re so jealous. I haven’t seen you like this for a long time, so I’m happy! However, I still think I should go with Mr. Moreau,” she said half-jokingly.“How dare you?!” With his arms around Melanie’s neck, Nathaniel replied ferociously, “I’ll break your legs if you dare run off with him!” “Ooh, how fierce of you, Mr. Hall.” Melanie bit her tongue as she remembered something. She looked shy as she continued, “You shouldn’t worry so much. Even if Mr. Moreau has feelings for me, nothing will happen. Especially since…”“What is it?” Nathaniel did not understand. “I’m…”At first, Nathaniel did not realize why Melanie was so hesitant to speak. When he regained his senses, he hugged her tighter and exclaim
Melanie playfully shook her waist, "Why won’t you trust me?""If you don’t want that, go if you want to. I’m done arguing.” Nathaniel did not want to see Melanie act coquettishly and argue any longer, as that was his bottom line.However, he also wanted to go to Middle Valley because he heard there would be quite a few industry professionals attending. In addition to participating, Nathaniel wanted to win over some talents and hire them to work for MN Inc.Lily’s actions gave MN Inc. a lot of trouble, and Nathaniel was aware of the importance of talents. He knew he had to recruit more talented perfumers so that the company could defend itself against challengers. It was a terrible experience, after all.Nonetheless, there was an issue with the essential oils, and Nathaniel had to be present at the company to test them repeatedly. He knew the formula must not have any mistakes and had to monitor it himself, so he could not be absent.Still, it would be beneficial for Melanie to go
Melanie was secretly happy in the plane’s first-class cabin as she could not help but look around. The environment in the first-class cabin was incomparable to the standard ones. With that thought in mind, she turned to look at Frank, sitting beside her. It was all thanks to him that she could enjoy being in first-class.Previously, she had never sat in a first-class cabin with Nathaniel, even though they often traveled via plane. He always reminded Melanie that starting a business was not easy and he needed to save money since the company’s expenses were quite substantial.Melanie had endured it, thinking Nathaniel’s reasoning was right. She believed they would get through their tough times one day and then be rich and enjoy themselves. However, she was sitting in first-class at this moment and was already enjoying herself.“Mr. Moreau, I’m honored to attend the sampling event with you this time. There’s still a lot that I don’t understand, so please tell me if I’m doing anything w
"You guys are enemies!" With a chuckle, Jenny sat down and adjusted the seat. “Shall I prepare some popcorn?”“There’s nothing to be excited about,” Lily said lightly, pulling a blanket to cover herself. “If she doesn’t cause trouble, I won’t either. We’ll be at peace.”Lazily, Lily reclined and adjusted the seat to her comfort. Since she knew to prioritize work over personal matters, she would never jeopardize the company's reputation during a business trip.“How interesting!” Turning to look at Lily, Jenny asked with a smile, “Still, can you guarantee she won’t start the fire?”If Melanie were the kind of person who wouldn’t start trouble, there would not have been so many quarrels.“Hey, the stranger beside her looks familiar to me.” Out of curiosity, Jenny took a second glance.She knew who Nathaniel was, but that man was clearly not him. Weren’t the two of them inseparable and stuck together at every event?Lily also realized that Nathaniel was not there and that it was onl
The welcomes were all set up after the plane touched down at the destination. On Melanie's end, Nathaniel arranged everything, and the hotel had also been pre-booked. Although Melanie was already by the car door, she still wanted to see Lily's ride. Even if La Beauté Group backed Rebirth, they were still a trivial subsidiary company. They might not be as strong as MN Inc. in terms of scale, but it seemed they wanted to be pretentious and join the first-class cabin. "Ms. Thayer?" The person picking her up wondered why Melanie did not want to get in the car and tried to remind her."Got it," Melanie replied, and just as she was about to get into the car, she saw the person she was looking for.Lily and Jenny were not in a hurry. They walked out slowly while dragging their suitcases, and then… A Rolls-Royce! There was no way that she could not recognize that car! It was a Rolls-Royce indeed, and although she could not identify the series, it was definitely expe
It’s fantastic to be rich! Sure enough, wherever the rich went, their treatment was different. Frank was still a bit of a gentleman, and because her room was on a lower floor, he sent her to the room first. Melanie frowned as soon as she opened the door. The room was a standard large bedroom. Compared to ordinary hotels, the room was quite spacious. However, it was just a room with an en suite bathroom, a microwave oven, a small refrigerator, and a sink. It seemed to have everything but was far from what Melanie imagined. "Mel, all your things are here. Have a good rest. I'll go to my room first!" Frank patted her shoulder and said with a smile.Melanie quickly stopped him, saying, "Wait a minute!" "Yes?" He remained still, cast a silent glance back, and asked. "Uh…" After pondering, she said hesitantly, "Well, I'm not too tired now, and you have luggage. Can I go to your room and chill for a while?" Frank simply stared at her instead of answering.
Her body froze instantly. Melanie subconsciously wanted to break free, but she heard Frank’s voice ringing in her ears, "Do you like it here?"His accent was a little strange, but it reminded Melanie of his identity and that she could not offend him. She stiffened her body and let him hold her, not daring to move. Her neck froze as she nodded, "O-Of course, I do.""Do you want to...have it all?" Frank asked again.This time, Melanie responded much smoother and faster, "Yes, of course, I do!"‘What a dream that would be!’Her only desire in life was to climb to the upper echelon of society, be a wealthy wife, be pampered, enjoy glory, and never have to feel pain again. Melanie felt that her circle determined her class, and the only one she could grab hold of was Nathaniel. However, she thought he was a good investment and would surely succeed one day.She witnessed MN Inc. gradually expanding and felt she was getting closer to her dreams since the company had won awards and gained
