Chapter 348 Worse Than a Scumbag âMaster Stephen, please donât use rubbish plotlines from dramas like that to scare my boss.â William couldnât take it anymore and said to him as he stood up.
The madam was simply shocked... She wouldnât be so surprised that she would kill herself!
After a while, William reported back the information he received. âBoss, the madam has finished checking on her heart and is now on her way back to the city.â
âDrive home.â
Jeffrey said coldly and the car started to move, leaving Stephen behind in the night, weak and helpless.
However, when Jeffrey reached their home at Marina Heights, Melanie was nowhere to be seen. Only after a while did he receive news that her car was headed for North Street.
âNorth Street isnât the direction heading to the Jones...â
William mumbled when he heard Jeffrey order, âGo and check where Annie Snowâs residence and company are located!â
Three minutes later, William quickly said, âFound it, Boss! Annieâs company is in the same direction as North Street and sheâs working overtime at the office tonight!â
If she wanted to reach out to her friend, he would feel much better.
âSir, should I still send you over to pick the madam up?â William asked.
Jeffrey waved his hand. She needed some fresh air and to speak to someone. He couldnât force her too much.
âAnnieâs company... Didnât she sign up to tender for the companyâs PR and marketing contract next season?â
Jeffrey suddenly remembered something and asked.
âThatâs correct.â
Williamâs eyes shone with respect. Even when the boss was in emotional turmoil, he didnât lose his intelligence. âThe tendering is happening tomorrow. Ms. Annie might be working overtime tonight in preparation for the tender.â
âYou know what to do tomorrow.â
Jeffrey raised his head, narrowing his eyes, and William instantly knew what his boss meant and said, âThe Snowâs PR agency has maintained a great reputation in Harbor City, and they are extremely professional. I will keep an eye on them tomorrow.â
Jeffrey nodded and waved his hand, and William quickly left.
Jeffrey closed his eyes and massaged his head. The sound of fabric brushing against each other was magnified in the empty room, making things look especially lonely.
113 +15 BONUS Once Melanie reached Annieâs company, she gave her a call. It was starting to rain and Annie quickly came over to pick her up with an umbrella, but she still got wet.
âOh, my baby! Why are you so pale?â Annie said as she felt so sorry for her the moment she saw her.
Feeling Annieâs genuine care for her, Melanie hugged Annie tightly as she closed her eyes.
âLetâs get in. What happened?â
Annie protected her and took her in, leading her to her office before getting some clothes for her to change into while pushing her to get a hot shower, and the two of them chatted with a glass door in between them.
âYou fought with Jeffrey?
âSince youâre not saying anything, Iâm going to guess that Iâm right.â
Annie then started mumbling after every few seconds. âThat darn Jeffrey Morgan. He doesnât look like a womanizer! What, donât tell me that he cheated, just like Bryan?â
âHeâs different. At least, Bryan was serious with me once.â Melanieâs voice echoed in the bathroom after she finished taking a shower and the sound of water splashing stopped.
âWhat?!â
Annie was shocked and she immediately sprang up from the sink she was sitting on. âHeâs even worse than Bryan?! Donât tell me he loves men? Heâs faking a marriage? What else could be worse than that? What did he do to you?!â
Melanie opened the door and walked out wearing a bathrobe. âAnnie, I need your help.â
âJust say it.â
âI want information about the person that donated their heart to me all those years ago,â she said.
âItâs top secret. Why do you suddenly want to know?â Annie was confused.
âIt is quite difficult to check directly from the hospitalâs system on organ donation. But... You can check using something else.
Eight years ago, Jeffreyâs girlfriend died during a car accident...â Melanie said as her strength left her body.
âYouâre saying...?â
Annie was a smart woman as well. After she compared the time, she finally realized what happened. âYouâre saying... The heart you got...â
Melanie nodded. âYouâre right. Thatâs why I said that when Bryan was with me, at least thereâs a probability that he liked me. But Jeffrey didnât...â
âThat darn bas...!â
Annie continuously cursed for a bit. After she had cursed enough, she gave her a guarantee and said. âDonât âHeâs Jeffrey Morgan. Donât challenge him.â Melanie shook her head.
+15 BONUS âSo what if heâs Jeffrey Morgan? Even the gods canât provoke my best friend!â Annie said angrily.
âThereâs nothing to take revenge on. Weâre all adults, and I didnât lose anything from staying with him. At most, he stole my feelings. But itâs my own fault for getting lied to despite already being an adult,â Melanie said with a cold, bitter laugh.
