âI donât need your company.
Iâm fine.
â
Melissa grinned and let out a sigh of relief.
âItâs me who wants to hang out with you, alright?â
Finally, Jessie cracked a smile.
Jessieâs voice was all stuffed up.
âYouâre the one offering to hang, not me begging.
â
Melissa sighed.
âYes, I just want to be nice to you.
So can you tell me where you are right now?â
Melissa ended the call after getting the information she needed.
Before revving up her car, she glanced towards the hospital wing.
Eventually, she hit the gas and took off.
She grabbed some medicines on the way and made a beeline for Jessieâs family hotel.
Melissa strolled into the office.
Jessieâs assistant whispered, âMiss Green has been sobbing for ages.
Mrs.
Wastonâs being totally unfair.
Miss Greenâs a decent soul.
â
The assistant had a point.
Jessie was a looker.
Even when the Green family had been down in the dumps, Jessie had never traded herself to save the business.
That was why the assistant said this with such confidence.
Melissa nodded and sent the assistant away.
Jessie was huddled up in her chair, still in a daze, with papers strewn everywhere.
It was a real mess.
When Melissa entered, Jessie barely lifted her eyes before drooping them again.
Clearly, Jessie was still out of it.
Without pushing her, Melissa quietly tidied up the desk.
Jessie shifted in her seat, sounding like a kitten.
âYouâre quite the neat freak.
Are you secretly digging being Albertâs secretary, huh?â
After straightening up, Melissa perched herself on the edge of the desk facing Jessie.
Jessie gazed at her figure and remarked, âYou do look so inviting.
â
Melissa gave Jessieâs hand a comforting pat.
âJust be a good girl, alright?â
Melissaâs words did the trick.
As expected, Jessie murmured, âIâm not a kid.
Youâre always treating me like Matthew to get me to comply.
â
Melissa responded, âIâm not about to argue with a child.
â
Jessie silently protested that she was actually older than Melissa.
But being pampered felt darn good.
Jessie didnât protest as Melissa applied medicine to her face, though she let out a little yelp when Melissa touched her cheek.
