Chapter 18 A Familiar Fragrance

Susie secretly clenched her fists and said to Melissa reluctantly, “Sorry.”

Melissa rubbed her ears and said, “What did you say? I didn’t hear you clearly.”

Susie could only raise her voice a little and said again, “Sorry!”

Murray said, “I do not wish to see such a thing happen again!” Murray’s cold voice revealed infinite

majesty. Susie could not help but tremble.

Walking out of the president’s office, Susie gave Melissa a fierce look.

Susie thought, I didn’t think this hillbilly was smarter than I thought. This time I accidentally fell into her

trap and made a fool of myself in front of Murray.

I will take revenge for this. I will make Melissa suffer more than what I suffered today.

When it was time to get off work, Melissa worked overtime for a while. Melissa checked the data that

Susie gave her before leaving.

Melissa walked out of the building of the Gibson Corporation. Melissa was about to take a taxi when a

black Rolls-Royce stopped beside her.

It was Murray’s car.

Murray rolled down the window and glanced at Melissa, saying, “Get in the car.”

Melissa took a step back and said, “Thank you. I’ll take a taxi back myself.”

Murray frowned and opened the car door to get out of the car. He looked at Melissa and said, “It’s hard

to take a taxi at this time. I don’t want to go to work in the middle of the night to take you home and take

care of you for a night again.”

Hearing what Murray said, Melissa rolled her eyes at Murray and said, “It’s all your fault!”

Murray was confused. He wondered what he had to do with what happened last night.

Melissa asked, “Don’t you know that Susie has a crush on you?” Melissa thought, If it is not because of

Murray, how can Susie see me as a thorn in her side and think of ways to expel me?

Murray was surprised to hear what Melissa said.

Murray was insensitive to the emotional world around him. His heart was filled with the girl from his

childhood, and he would not even look at other women.

Murray then raised his eyebrows inexplicably and smiled faintly, saying, “Are you jealous of that.”

“Nonsense!” Melissa glared at Murray and said, Melissa then turned to leave, but she was pulled back

by Murray.

Murray pulled Melissa into the car and said in a commanding tone, “Sit tight!”

Before Melissa could react, Murray sat in the driver’s seat and locked the car door. Murray said, “I

promised my grandfather that I will guarantee your safety in these three months.”

Seeing Murray insist on driving her home, Melissa nodded.

Melissa also promised her grandfather to get along well with Murray.

Melissa thought, After three months, we will never see each other again.

But these three months seem to be a bit hard to get through.

Just as Melissa was thinking about this, a large hand with distinct joints came around her chest.

Melissa said, “What do you want to do?” Melissa was shocked and looked at Murray warily.

Murray turned slightly sideways and put his hand in front of Melissa. He almost had her in his arms.

This posture was very ambiguous.

“I’ll help you fasten your seatbelt,” Murray said.

“Thank you. I’ll do it myself,” Melissa held Murray’s hand and said. Melissa was a little annoyed that

she had forgot to fasten her seat belt.

Melissa felt the warmth of Murray’s hand, and she was somewhat blushed.

Murray withdrew his hand and sat up straight. He started the car with an inexplicable gentle look in his

eyes.

Just now, Murray smelled the faint fragrance on Melissa’s body, which was the same as what he

remembered.

Murray thought, Could it be that Melissa is the girl who saved me when I was young?”

Murray turned to the side and stared at Melissa. Murray said, “Melissa, have you been kidnapped

before? Murray’s voice was clear and low, with a hint of uncontrollable excitement.

“What?” Melissa had just fastened her seat belt when she heard Murray’s inexplicable question.

Melissa thought, Why did he suddenly ask me this question?

His thoughts are so elastic.

“No,” Melissa shook her head and said.
