NovelEnglishMelanie was wearing a beautiful dress and exquisite makeup to look her best, but she dared not walk in alone.
MN Inc. was insignificant in the venue where all the big names gathered. She could have gained some points by having Frank by her side, but now, she was alone. Who would notice her? She would be ignored and neglected as soon as she got to the hotel entrance and got off the car. She could not accept that.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen she got in the car, she persistently called Frank's phone, but no one answered. He made it clear that he did not want to answer her call.
"Ms. Thayer, it's almost time." The driver turned his head to remind her.
"Why are you in a hurry when I'm not?!" She reprimanded irritably.
Just as she was about to try calling Frank again, she raised her eyes and saw a Rolls-Royce slowly approaching.
After pondering for a second, she patted the front seat, "Quick, drive over, follow them but don't get too close!" Melanie's car was opposite the hotel. The driver turned the steering wheel, leaned forward, and drove straight up along the ramp to the hotel. Melanie exited her car on the ramp and closed the door just as Lily got exited her car.
She wore a black off-shoulder long dress, tied her hair loosely behind her head, and looked elegant. The dress nicely highlighted her right-angled shoulders and swan-like neck, which was gorgeous and extravagant.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmClenching her fingers, Melanie quickly caught up to Lily in high heels, "Lily!" Photographers took pictures of Lily and Jenny on the red carpet as they automatically turned toward the voice when they heard someone call her name.
Melanie was wearing a short crimson dress. The dress only reached slightly above her thighs, revealing her long slender legs.
Coupled with the three-inch high heels of the same color, it was apparent that she had carefully selected and matched them.
Lily did not want to pay attention to Melanie, but since so many people were around, including the press, she stood still and watched Melanie run toward her.
"Lily, you're at the sampling event! What a coincidence! It seems you've contributed great work to Rebirth. No wonder they're treating you so well. At least you didn't waste your great effort hopping over there!" Melanie said underhandedly.
Staring at her, Lily sneered inwardly. She knew Melanie did not have any good intentions coming up to her, but this was a low blow. Melanie was still talking about the same old thing. Did she think she could trip Lily up the way she used Lily like a stepping stone? With a sneer, Lily nodded slightly, "Yes indeed, Rebirth treats me very well. After all, it's a company with excellent prospects and extraordinary vision. You seem to have the wrong idea about job-hopping, Ms. Thayer. | never signed a contract with any company, so that’s out of the equation.” "Oh, that's right!" Before Melanie could respond, Lily continued, "Do you mean the favors | did for MN Inc. all those years? That's just a small matter. We've been classmates for so many years. | can't be calculative over a few bottles of essential oils and perfumes, can [?" After that, she turned to look at Jenny, "Jenny, the air is not great outside. Let's head in." Jenny nodded happily, and when she passed by Melanie, she glanced at her from the corner of her eye, full of disdain.
"What did you..." Melanie wanted to make Lily look bad and have the press report what she said out of context. She did not expect Lily to get the better of her.
