Chapter 336 | Missed You In the car, Melanie could feel that she was getting closer and closer to the truth. A flame burned inside her, and the twenty minutes felt longer than they actually were.
Finally, she reached Morgan Group and immediately took the elevator to the top floor, William was once again shocked to see her there.
âWhy are you here, madam?â
âIs Jeffrey inside?â She looked at the meeting room, whose doors were shut fight.
âYes.â
Melanie was observing Williamâs facial expression. While he was genuinely shocked, he didnât look like he was lying.
âFine. Iâll wait for him.â She didnât say much and walked over to the meeting room opposite the one Jeffrey was in, then sat on the sofa, waiting.
William didnât dare to ignore her and quickly got her some drinks before quietly walking into the meeting room.
Five minutes later, the door into the meeting room swung open, and Jeffrey walked out, heading straight for her.
The moment that he appeared, Melanie felt all her worries disappear... As long as he was in Morgan Group, the worst-case scenario she had been preparing for wouldnât have happened.
âYou...â
She had just wanted to stand up and he took her hand, and then dragged her to the end of the corridor and into his office.
When he was in the meeting room and heard of his arrival, he knew why she was here. Since William had already reported to him about the picture in the staffâs chat groups...
âWhy are you here looking for me? Arenât you busy?â
Jeffrey closed the office door and turned around, holding her against the door as he breathed down on her neck.
âHow would I know where you are if I didnât come find you?â She raised her head and looked into his eyes stubbornly.
It was as he thought.
Things were much more serious than heâd first believed.
Jeffrey put down his arms before looking at her seriously. âThe photo from this evening... I was looking at her staff tag,â he explained to her.
âAnd?â She refused to let it go.
+15 BONUS âOnly the staff tag!â He said with a confident tone.
âWeâre both smart people here, so letâs be direct. You never left the building this entire night?â Melanie asked.
Jeffreyâs eyes dimmed. âNo, I just came back. Less than an hour ago.â
He held her hand again and took her to the sofa, explaining everything. âThis evening. I thought I saw someone familiar. It was that woman in the photo. I saw her again when I was on my way back, then I took her out for dinner before sending her home, and only then did I come back to the company.â
âI didnât realize that someone as busy as you has that kind of leisure time.â Melanie said with a sneer.
Jeffrey smiled bitterly. âSince weâre both smart people, you know who she looked like.â
âThen you know what I care about.â
Melanie directly told him her thoughts. âI told you, I donât mind your past, but I canât accept that Iâm just someone elseâs replacement.â
âI remember.â
Jeffrey nodded. He could still remember how determined she was when she said that.
âEven if youâre interested, you didnât have to send her home and take her out to dinner, right? A male boss and a female employee should maintain some distance at night, donât you think? And you sent her all the way home?â Melanie asked again.
âThe reason I took her out to dinner and sent her home is that her showing up was too much of a coincidence,â Jeffrey said calmly and sincerely, âShe kept on appearing in front of me in the span of two hours. Everything she said and did seemed like she was trying to appeal to me. I wanted to know why sheâs here.â
There was sincerity in his eyes, and Melanie couldnât sense him trying to lie to her. She relaxed a little. âThen, what did you find out?â
Seeing that she had relaxed, Jeffrey could feel his heartbeat accelerate. He couldnât help but want to get closer to embrace her.
The woman in front of her was so lively! Her pride, her care, her principles... All of them touched him in his heart. âLetâs not talk about that now...â
âHey!â
She was shocked that the man would suddenly want to kiss her halfway through explaining himself. âWhat are you doing?â
âI missed you.â
Jeffrey said before holding the back of her head, kissing her even more deeply.
