Chapter 93
Melanie glanced at the caller ID and saw Nathaniel‘s name. She glared at Olivia one last time, pushed the test tube back into her hands, and warned, “You should think about what you say more carefully. Don‘t make a fool out of yourself!” Then she turned around and walked away
“Where have you been?!” Nathaniel asked harshly over the phone.

“No one said that our company is going down. Stop being so negative. Get ready to leave. I’m coming over to pick you up,” Nathaniel sounded like he was in a hurry as he hung up right away. Melanie stared at her phone for a second before walking back toward the lab. She peeked into the lab but stopped herself after a second thought. It was probably a waste of ttrying to convince Olivia. She should just think about what to do next since she needed an alternative plan to save herself.
Moments later, Nathaniel arrived at the laboratory entrance, and Melanie was already waiting at the front. Melanie deliberately messed up her hair and made her eyes red and puffy to look like she was exhausted from working so hard. “Nate...”
Before she could continue, Nathaniel looked at her wide–eyed, “Why do you look like that? Didn‘t I tell you to be prepared?”
“I was...” Melanie pouted as she got into the passenger seat and closed the door. She explained with teary eyes, “I was just worried about the company. I know you‘re restless, and I am too. I was just trying to see if I could do anything to help at the lab.”
“Well then, do you have any results for me?” Although Nathaniel did not have many expectations, he could not help but be optimistic.
Melanie pressed her lips together and shook her head, “I‘ve tried many things, but it‘s just not working. Since the original formula is complicated, even changing a single ingredient could produce countless results. Also, we‘re unsure if it‘s an ingredient problem or...”
She was upset at Nathaniel, but he thought deeply about something else, “All right, Mel. Let‘s not talk about this anymore. Lily wouldn‘t have led us on if it were that easy, and she wouldn‘t be so smug about it. I‘m taking you to meet someone. He might be able to help us out.”

“It‘s...wait. There‘s still time. Let‘s get you cleaned up. After all, it‘s our first meeting, and we can‘t have you looking like this, ” Nathaniel looked at Melanie and shook his head.
“Okay!” Melanie nodded her head obediently and buckled her seatbelt.
Looking at Melanie‘s gentle gestures, Nathaniel‘s foul mood improved. It was undeniable that Melanie was pretty. She had a gentle nature to her, much like a doe. It made men want to protect her. Nathaniel‘s heart fluttered when he recalled how Melanie would usually lay in his embrace and look up at him lovingly.
Lily, on the other hand, was too independent. Even though she would listen to him sometimes, she was strong–willed and had her own stands, just like how she silently betrayed him on this issue. Nathanial only got annoyed thinking about Lily. After putting on her seatbelt, Melanie noticed the car was still not moving. She raised her head and gave Nathaniel a puzzled look, “What‘s wrong?”
Nathaniel turned to her abruptly, lifted her chin, and kissed her hard.
Due to Justin‘s sudden appearance, Lily decided to change her plans and go straight to Imperial Hills.
