Chapter 3011: Chapter 3011

With a heavy heart and restless mind, Melissa struggled to sleep that night.

In the early hours, she boarded the subway to the office.

Upon arrival, the second secretary approached her discreetly.

“Mr.

Waston seems to have had another argument with Jessie.

The poor man got scratched on the face again.

”

Forcing a smile, Melissa collected herself and organized the documents before knocking on the CEO’s door.

“Mr.

Waston?”™

With permission granted, she entered.

Albert was engrossed in a phone call.

As Melissa entered the room, he briefly glanced up, acknowledging her presence with a nod before returning his focus to the conversation.

Melissa surmised that the person on the other end of the line must be Jessie.

Melissa deduced this because Albert had recently befriended a celebrity, which likely triggered jealousy and temper tantrums from Jessie.

After coaxing Jessie and hanging up, he lamented, touching his face.

“I’m making a fool of myself.

”

Melissa smiled.

“Not at all, Mr.

Waston.

”

Albert leaned back in his leather chair, cigarette in hand, rubbing his temple with the other hand, a visible hint of annoyance on his face.

“Melissa, what should a person do if they can’t marry their lover?”

Caught off guard, Melissa met his gaze.

Albert said graciously, “Go ahead, speak your mind.

I won’t hold it against you.

”

Melissa spoke in a low voice.

“One must first be loyal to their partner before discussing marriage.

”

Albert’s expression darkened.

“Why do I sense a hint of sarcasm in your words?”

“I assure you, there’s none,” Melissa replied respectfully.

“As your subordinate, I wouldn’t dare.

I’m simply speaking the truth as you asked me to.

”

After hesitating for a moment, she added, “If you truly can’t commit to marrying Miss Green and be faithful, it might be best to set her free.

She hasn’t really been happy with you these years.

”

Albert chuckled.

“Why defend her when you’re not even on good terms?”

With a neutral tone, Melissa replied, “I’m not taking anyone’s side.

Just stating the facts.

”

Albert reclined in the plush leather chair, his demeanor relaxed as he closed his eyes.

He had always been a playboy, his heart once given to someone in his youth.

While women like Jessie and the allure of stars and models brought him momentary excitement, Albert never contemplated surrendering his true affections or marrying.

Marriage was never in his plan.
