Chapter 125
Melanie 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.
When 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.
Clenching 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. I 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 I did for MN
Inc. all those years? That's just a small matter. We’ve been classmates for so many years. I can't be
calculative over a few bottles of essential oils and perfumes, can I?"
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.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
"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.
