Chapter 319 Deliberate Neglect of Duty
William subconsciously straightened himself, a sense of awe for his president seated silently behind
him overwhelmed him.
His president managed to guess every single detail accurately.
After Melanie reached home and took a shower, she found herself still restless. A thought suddenly
came to mind.
She called the custodian of the fragrance blending room from her company’s perfume department.
“Mr. Shaw, pardon me for bothering you at this hour. You’ve been keeping an eye on the perfume
blending room over the past few days. Did you find anything suspicious?” she asked Mr. Shaw, who
was on night duty.
“I think I did…”
Mr. Shaw went on after pondering for a moment.
“I had wanted to report it to you today. Every night, one or two suspicious-looking strangers would
come to the level where the perfume blending room is located. Although they have their access
passes, I find them unfamiliar. Miss, should I tell security to step up on entrance checks at night?”

tonight,” Melanie said firmly.
“Huh?” Mr. Shaw was shocked at Melanie’s suggestion.
“Don’t worry, I have a plan in mind,” she said.
That was when Mr. Shaw understood what was going on.
After hanging up, Melanie informed the security department to work overtime at the last minute to
launch a
surveillance system that was previously decommissioned, and to run it alongside the current system.
“I’ll have to trouble everyone to pay attention to the surveillance footage of both systems. If anything
suspicious emerges, don’t act rashly to alert the other party and just inform me immediately,” she
instructed.
“Don’t worry, Miss,” members of the security department assured her.
‘Siberian Butterflies’ had suddenly become viral. She knew that many people were up all night, jealous
of the
success of the series. Now that she was preparing for a perfume exhibition, she’d rather be safe than
sorry and guard against foul play before the big event.
After settling Jones Enterprise’s affairs, she texted Mr. Smith to invite him to Mount Coloss to take
another series of photos as the backdrop for the perfume exhibition.
Mr. Smith agreed readily, promising to cancel all his appointments tomorrow so he could go to Mount
Coloss
with her.
By the time she was done making all these arrangements, it was already 1.30 am. Melanie headed to
the bedroom to retire for the night, but found Jeffrey lying on the bed.

Since the last time they were intimate, Jeffrey started ignoring all boundaries between them.
Melanie pressed her lips together, but tip-toed over so that she wouldn’t wake Jeffrey up from his deep
slumber. She pulled a blanket over from a corner, and laid on the other side of the bed.
Just as she curled up and settled herself down to sleep, his arms reached her. She felt a sudden
warmth against her back. Jeffrey had wrapped himself around her from behind.
“Aren’t you supposed to be asleep?” she said, slightly taken aback.

Jeffrey’s eyes were still closed, but his arm tightened around her as the other hand started getting
touchy.
Melanie immediately pressed his restless hand down in rejection. “I’m going to Mount Coloss tomorrow,
and I need the rest tonight.”
“Why are you going to Mount Coloss tomorrow?” His eyes popped open as he asked, clearly bothered.
Melanie told him about Mr. Smith and her plan.
Jeffrey paused for a moment before saying, “Siberian Butterflies’ has been in the limelight since it was
launched. Now that Morgan Group is involved in it, all the more you must be careful. People who draw
the most attention always end up getting into much trouble.”
“You’re so concerned about it. Aren’t you busy enough with Morgan Group’s affairs? I have my own
plans,” Melanie retorted teasingly.
“That’s reassuring to hear.”
Jeffrey smirked. He shook his hand free from her hold, and started caressing her once more.
“Hey, I said… I need to wake up early tomorrow…”
“You’ll rest better with some exercise.”
Jeffrey pressed his body against hers, not giving her any chance to escape. “What’s more, I don’t need
you to move much…
