Chapter 168
Melanie shook her head, “Maybe it‘s just too stuffy in here. Let‘s go for a walk and have something to eat outside?” “Okay, letchange. Where do you have in mind?” He stood up and asked. “I‘m still quite tired, so I don‘t feel like going sornewhere far. Why don‘t we just go to the hotel‘s restaurant?” Melanie lowered her head, acting as if she was exhausted.

After getting changed, Melanie went to the hotel‘s restaurant with Nathaniel. Since her mind was filled with thoughts of Frank, the moment she entered, her eyes immediately found Frank‘s table. Her grasp on Nathaniel‘s arm tightened as she tried to put on a calm exterior. “A table for two,” Nathaniel said to the waiter. They were led to a table at the back when Melanie pretended to notice something. She nudged Nathaniel and said, “Isn‘t that Mr. Moreau over there?” Honestly, Nathaniel was not at all happy bumping into Frank. However, he was a family friend, and he had helped Nathaniel solve MN Inc.‘s crisis, so it would be rude if Nathaniel just ignored him.
Although he did not like Frank very much, Nathaniel admired his capabilities. If Frank were to agree to work for MN Inc., then Nathaniel would not have to worry about their production line anymore.
In the end, Nathaniel ignored his pettiness and nodded in agreement, “Let‘s go say hello.” Both turned and walked over to Frank‘s table.
“Hello, Mr. Moreau,” Nathaniel greeted, “What a coincidence.” Melanie nodded her head politely
‘A coincidence, huh?‘ Frank raised an eyebrow and smirked as he glanced at Melanie, then at Nathaniel.

Nathaniel removed Melanie‘s hand from his arm and held it in his hand, “Of course! Mel is such a pretty woman; this is the first tshe‘s been away for a long time. How would I be at ease when we‘re separated? To tell you the truth, I‘m here to propose!” Nathaniel smiled as he turned to Melanie, “We‘re going to get married soon.”
Melanie was shocked. Though she had been with Nathaniel for a long tand they had been attending social events together, he had never openly admitted that they were official. This sudden confession was just Nathaniel‘s way of exerting dominance. Melanie was slightly touched, but at the stime, she felt ridiculed.
Nathaniel was ignorant, Frank did not care about who she belonged to, and their relationship was just a mutually beneficial one. Frank never considered stealing her from Nathaniel or that Melanie was his girlfriend. Nathaniel‘s act of exerting dominance was just pathetic.
When Melanie turned to look at Frank, it did not surprise her to see a smirk on his face. He was not at all affected, “Really? Then, I must congratulate you. Why don‘t you letpay for your dinner? Treat it as a gift fromto celebrate your engagement.” Nathaniel agreed and nodded his head as Frank seemed genuinely happy for them. “Sure, why not?” he said and sat Melanie in front of Frank.
