Jeffrey went around the table, and approached her. “I’ve just started a major project with Romero
Corporation. and you know how scheming Luis can be. So, I need to keep a close eye on it, which
might make me a bit
busier.”
Melanie took a step back and maintained her distance, still not saying a word.
“Is there anything else you want to know?” Jeffrey’s eyes remained fixed on her face.
“No,” she stubbornly replied.
Jeffrey didn’t press further, and continued looking at her. He spoke slowly. “Earlier, the project team
from Romero Corporation sent a few professional architects here. Isla came along with them.”
“Is that so?” Melanie raised her eyebrows. Although they came together, they didn’t leave together.
“You didn’t see them?” Jeffrey asked.

Jeffrey’s lips curled up into a knowing smile. “It seems like you haven’t vented enough. Should I drink
the rest
of the soup?”
“You can drink it if you want. Don’t involve me. Why would I be angry?” Melanie retorted.
“If you’re not angry, why have you been contradicting yourself?” Jeffrey took a step closer.
Looking at how much she cared about him, he felt a ripple in his heart. Unable to resist explaining
further, he said, “It was my oversight. I shouldn’t have gotten Isla to leave through the side door. It
made you misunderstand that there’s something going on between us.”
“Oh, so you arranged for Isla to leave through the side door. Are you sure there’s nothing going on?”
Melanie raised her eyebrows sarcastically.
Jeffrey smiled again, feeling joyful.
“Why are you smiling?” Melanie asked, annoyed.
“You care about me,” Jeffrey asserted confidently.
Melanie chuckled, and composed her expression. “President Morgan, you’re quite confident. I have no
idea about Isla and side doors.”
“Alright, let’s talk about something else.”
Jeffrey didn’t expose her stubborn façade, and changed the subject to business. “I heard you and Elder
Gibson collaborated to create a fragrance named ‘Siberian Butterfly,’ inspired by the mountain biking
race, to complement Mr. Smith’s photo series. Is that true?”

“President Morgan, you are rather well-informed.”
Melanie sarcastically remarked, “Anything else?”
“Morgan Group wants to cooperate with Jones Enterprise, whether through sponsorship or partnership,
to launch this fragrance together,” Jeffrey said sincerely.
“Exploiting social trends to release a product offers a high profit margin. President Morgan, you have a
keen eye for money,” Melanie mocked coldly.
Just then, her phone rang. It was the assistant from Jones Enterprise’s Business department. “Miss
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMelanie, we just received two cooperation invitations. One from Romero Corporation, and the other
from the Angle
family…”
The assistant continued, sounding incredulous, “They are both interested in the ‘Siberian Butterfly’
fragrance you and Elder Gibson just created. They want to sponsor it.”
“Wow! Am I the one with a keen sense of smell, or is it these businessmen?” Melanie sighed, glancing
casually at Jeffrey standing nearby.
“How should we respond?” the assistant asked.
Melanie could hear her colleagues discussing on the other end. “We’ve never collaborated with these
big shots before. Should we reject one of them? Rejecting any one of them will offend them…”
“Don’t respond for now. If they press, tell them I need some time to consider,” Melanie said before
hanging up..
“What’s going on?” Jeffrey asked with concern.
Melanie raised her eyebrows, looking at him with a mocking smile. “President Morgan, I’m really sorry.
Siberian Butterfly’ is currently in high demand. Both the Yorks and Romero Corporation have extended
cooperation invitations to me. Tell me, who should I work with?”
