Chapter 21 HeavenâSent âWhat am I then?â
At that moment, someone entered the room. To everyoneâs astonishment, it was indeed Stephen Morgan!
All the board members stood up in awe, their faces full of respect. In their eyes, Stephen was not just a popular young actor; he was also the second young master of the Morgan Group.
No one could have anticipated that Melanie had managed to bring him here.
âMr. Morgan, please donât misunderstand. I wasnât referring to you.â Daniel hurriedly apologized, forcing a smile.
Lena quickly fixed her appearance to greet Stephen.
However, Stephen paid no attention to them and simply turned to Melanie. He said, âI think your proposal is good. Iâll sign it.â
âGreat!â Melanieâs lips curled into a satisfied smile.
However, Stephen deliberately wrinkled his nose in disdain and looked at Daniel. âBut this room is too stuffy. Letâs change to someplace else.â
Melanie extended her hand and said, âIn that case, letâs move next door to discuss the details and sign the contract.â
Daniel stopped them as they were about to leave.
âMelanie! What are you doing? Are you aware of how influential Mr. Morgan is? His endorsement fee is among the highest in the country. Are you sure you can handle this?â
Daniel gave several meaningful glances, and his trusted aides joined in, echoing his concerns. âThatâs right, Miss Melanie. Mr.
Morgan is not someone you can afford to offend. If thereâs any trouble, it will be Jones Enterprise that bears the consequences!â
Melanie turned her head calmly and looked at Stephen Morgan. âSince Mr. Morgan appreciates my proposal, how about a discount on the endorsement fee? Iâll determine the amount. What do you say?â
Stephen immediately nodded with an agreeable expression. âOf course, thatâs fine by me.â
As they watched Melanie and Stephen leave, Daniel was left dumbfounded. He could not shake the feeling that Melanie had cast some kind of spell on Stephen.
âHow did that girl possibly know someone from the Morgan Group?â Daniel furrowed his brows, puzzled.
Lena was equally curious. After some thought, she leaned in close to her father and whispered, âSheâs not that capable. Itâs only because Bryan recently requested her to help with the collaboration with Stephen that she had the opportunity.â
âOh!â Daniel nodded. That made sense. Otherwise, how could he have failed at establishing a connection with the Morgans even after decades of networking while a young girl like Melanie succeeded?
âNo worries.â Daniel reassured Lena. âOnce Bryan establishes himself in the West Corp, you wonât have to worry about anything.
âIâve heard that the man Melanie offended, Mr. Hansâhis wife has a close relationship with the chairperson of the International Socialites Gala. With their interference, Melanie might not even be able to attend the gala!â
Lenaâs eyes sparkled with delight. âThatâs excellent news! Dad, youâre amazing!â
Daniel Jones patted Lenaâs shoulder. âWhen the time comes, everything Melanie has will be yours!â
In the meeting room next door.
Melanie secured Stephen Morganâs endorsement, but an additional clause was added to the contract stating that the quality and innovation of the menâs perfume must meet the Morgan Groupâs standards. Otherwise, the contract would be terminated.
She knew that the Morgans would not give in that easily, but that also served as motivation for her to succeed, and she had confidence in herself.
1/2 +15 BONUS Soon, a secretary from Jones Enterprise knocked on the door. Iney informed Melanie that Bryan and Lena were outside and waiting to meet with her.
Melanie raised an eyebrow and nodded. The timing could not be better with both of them arriving together as if it were heavenâ
sent.
