"Now?" Melanie asked with surprise. "Yes. If you're available now, our car is already below Jones Enterprise. Besides you, we also invited Mr. Quicksilver.” Melanie agreed. She quickly tidied up and went out. She saw Quincy coming out of the temporary office. The two of them got into the car driven by Luis Romero’s assistant together. Opening the door to a private room at the Imperial Restaurant, they saw Luis and a delicate girl by his side. The girl was adorned with jewels, and the heavy gold accessories made her seem a bit old. In fact, she was only about twenty years old. Melanie and Quincy exchanged glances, unsure if this girl was Luis’s daughter or his mistress... "Miss Melanie, Mr. Quicksilver. Please have a seat." Luis stood up, and Melanie and Quincy quickly asked him to sit as well. "You don’t have to stand on ceremony. We’re just having a meal today." Luis sat down first. Melanie and the others followed suit. Melanie didn’t want to play polite and asked,

Pushing open the door of the private room, a gust of cold wind blew in. Melanie felt herself sobering up. She suddenly thought of something. Luis wouldn’t have invited her and Quincy as third wheelers for no reason. Could it be that he sensed something unusual between her and Jeffrey, so he was testing the waters? From the Angle family’s centennial celebration to the vast mountain racecourse, wherever Luis paid attention, Jeffrey was there protecting her. Upon careful consideration, this was very likely Luis’s intention. If he found out that there was more than met the eye between Jeffrey and her, Luis might have other plans. If he was determined to have his daughter marry into the Morgans, he might secretly deal with her. Having figured this out, Melanie's heart suddenly felt less heavy. Leaning against the door, she took a moment to collect herself before turning to go back. Just as she reached out to push the door, it opened from the inside. Melanie was startled. She une

The time in the shower seemed to pass both quickly and slowly, seemingly unpredictable. Melanie's head was buzzing, repeatedly thinking about what she said just now. Truly, alcohol emboldened people… After an unknown amount of time, she finally put on a bathrobe. She smoothed her wet hair, and walked out of the bathroom. She saw Jeffrey in a dark checkered robe that revealed some of his chest. He was lounging on the sofa, waiting for her. Seeing her standing still, Jeffrey took the initiative to get up and walked to her. He helped her tuck her wet hair behind her ear, revealing the graceful curve of her side profile. His Adam's apple bobbed. He couldn’t help but lean close to her tender ears. His breath brushed against the top of her head and ears, sending an electric current rushing from the depths of her heart to her entire body. She couldn't help but tremble. His eyes flashed. He bent down to kiss her, but her phone rang. Melanie was about to step away, but Jeffrey fir

The side door of Jeffrey's office opened, and the staff from the assistant department hastily escorted Isla out, as if they were afraid of being discovered by Melanie. Two assistants even purposely followed Isla, shielding her from Melanie’s sight... Melanie sneered inwardly. A meeting? And Isla was attending, too? She smirked when she glanced at the menu again. All the dishes she ordered were his favorites. Melanie's lips curled with a touch of coldness. With a flash in her eyes, she decisively picked up her phone and dialed the restaurant’s number. "Hello, has my order been started?" "Madam, your order is ready for delivery. It will arrive in about ten minutes," the waiter replied politely. "Please include some extra condiment packets," Melanie said nonchalantly. "Sure. May I ask what flavor you prefer?" "I love the spicy flavor. The insanely spicy one," Melanie pronounced each word decisively. "Alright. I'll add some extra chili oil for you," the waiter responded, sl

Jeffrey looked at the clever woman before him, his eyes twinkling. Clearly, it was a provocation. Why was he so willing to go along with it? "I didn't mention it casually. Morgan Group’s advertising department is already working overtime on the proposal. It will be ready by tomorrow, and you can check it then. If you are dissatisfied with the conditions, feel free to suggest changes," Jeffrey said. Melanie smiled. "Sure. Well then, President Morgan. Please bring the proposal to Jones Enterprise at ten tomorrow. We can discuss it together." "No problem,” Jeffrey agreed. He and turned to instruct William to add this meeting to tomorrow's schedule, emphasizing its importance. William, stunned, touched his own chin. In front of his wife, Jeffrey willingly played the role of an intern delivering proposals. It was truly eye-opening. Having vented her anger, Melanie decided it was time to let Jeffrey focus on his work. She didn’t say anything more, and asked the driver to take her h
