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.
“Why are you here, madam?”
“Is Jeffrey inside?” She looked at the meeting room, whose doors were shut fight.
“Yes.”
Melanie was observing William’s facial expression. While he was genuinely shocked, he didn’t look like
he
was lying.
“Fine. I’ll wait for him.” She didn’t say much and walked over to the meeting room opposite the one
Jeffrey was in, then sat on the sofa, waiting.
William didn’t 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 wouldn’t have happened.
“You…”
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 staff’s chat groups…
“Why are you here looking for me? Aren’t you busy?”
Jeffrey closed the office door and turned around, holding her against the door as he breathed down on
her neck.
“How would I know where you are if I didn’t come find you?” She raised her head and looked into his
eyes stubbornly.
It was as he thought.
Things were much more serious than he’d first believed.
Jeffrey put down his arms before looking at her seriously. “The photo from this evening… I was looking
at her staff tag,” he explained to her.
“And?” She refused to let it go.

“Only the staff tag!” He said with a confident tone.
“We’re both smart people here, so let’s be direct. You never left the building this entire night?” Melanie
asked.
Jeffrey’s eyes dimmed. “No, I just came back. Less than an hour ago.”
He held her hand again and took her to the sofa, explaining everything. “This 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.”
“I didn’t realize that someone as busy as you has that kind of leisure time.” Melanie said with a sneer.
Jeffrey smiled bitterly. “Since we’re both smart people, you know who she looked like.”
“Then you know what I care about.”
Melanie directly told him her thoughts. “I told you, I don’t mind your past, but I can’t accept that I’m just
someone else’s replacement.”
“I remember.”
Jeffrey nodded. He could still remember how determined she was when she said that.
“Even if you’re interested, you didn’t 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, don’t you think? And you sent her all the
way
home?” Melanie asked again.

“The reason I took her out to dinner and sent her home is that her showing up was too much of a
coincidence,” Jeffrey said calmly and sincerely, “She 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
she’s here.”
There was sincerity in his eyes, and Melanie couldn’t sense him trying to lie to her. She relaxed a little.
“Then,
what did you find out?”
Seeing that she had relaxed, Jeffrey could feel his heartbeat accelerate. He couldn’t 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. “Let’s not talk about that now…”
“Hey!”
She was shocked that the man would suddenly want to kiss her halfway through explaining himself.
“What are you doing?”
“I missed you.”
Jeffrey said before holding the back of her head, kissing her even more deeply.
