"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
Melanie was speechless as she did not expect Frank to react like that. She looked at him, only to see that he had turned and walked to the refrigerator. He took a can of cold beer, opened it with a snap, and took a big sip.“You think too much, Melanie,” Frank shook his head and continued, “I thought you would…” He rolled his eyes, probably to rethink his words, then shrugged and said, “You need to be open-minded and free-thinking. I didn’t expect you to be so rigid.“Remember, we’re here to have fun, and I’m happy if you’re happy. Why are you overthinking? I can give you everything you want, and you can satisfy me with what I want. Isn’t that good enough? Why do you carry such heavy thoughts, huh?” Frank looked nonchalant as if it was not a big deal that Melanie had just rejected him.In contrast, Melanie felt quite embarrassed while looking at him.“Don’t worry. I’m just here for fun, and I don’t like forcing others. It’s no problem if you don’t like it.” Frank nodded. “I’m going
After listening to his words, Melanie looked around the room again, but all she could think about was what Frank's room looked like. She took a deep breath and said, "It's not bad."Nathaniel was dissatisfied, "What do you mean by ‘not bad?’ You should know that the price differs significantly.” "Well, there’s not much of a difference to the other rooms," Melanie didn't want to discuss this, so she replied perfunctorily.“How can your room be almost the same as the others? It cost a few hundred dollars more.” Nathaniel did not realize how Melanie felt, but he continued, “Mel, we’re relatively well-off now, but you know the company is facing some major problems now. We still need to recruit new talents and expand our market, so we must calculate every penny carefully. It might be difficult now, but if you think about the future…”“Oh, here we go again with ‘the future!’ You always talk about the future!” Melanie thundered as she was unable to bear Nathaniel’s rambling. “What I w
Nathaniel called a few times, and when he found out he had been hung up on, he felt depressed. Did Lily go to Middle Valley as well? Recalling Melanie's words, he was doubtful. First class? Rolls-Royce? Was Rebirth that generous? Also, did La Beauté Group have such extensive resources to support a small subsidiary business? "Mr. Hall." A laboratory staff came over with a joyful face. "The new product’s finalized, and it’s the same as before." "Really?" Nathaniel was excited but quickly restrained himself. "Has it been tested? Is it exactly the same? Remember, there must be no difference at all!"It was a bit of luck and nuisance. The perfume prepared by Lily seemed to have some extraordinary magic power. People who admired it had become loyal fans, so they would no longer buy it if there were even a slight difference. That was the reason this caused such a big issue. He had to ensure that things were exactly the same so that the factory could increase producti
"Mr. Hall?" Olivia blinked, trying to clear her head, "Why’d you come to my house?" "I heard that you’re on leave. I should take care of my subordinates as the boss, shouldn't I?" He knew she was looking out of the peephole, so he leaned in front of the door. His suddenly enlarged face startled Olivia, and she took two steps back. "You!" "Olivia, are you planning to keep the door closed and let me stand outside to talk to you?""Mr. Hall, I'm sick, and I'm home alone. It's not a good time." She did not want to open the door or say anything more to Nathaniel. It was not a good idea for him to come because everything that needed to be said had already been expressed long ago. Fortunately, her mother went out to buy vegetables. Otherwise... Speaking of the devil, there was a voice from outside, "Who are you?" Mother? "Hello, I'm Olivia's boss. My last name is Hall, and I'm the president of MN Inc." Nathaniel's voice sounded. "Oh, Mr. Hall!" Olivia’s m
