Chapter 349
Mellisa clearly called out my name, indicating that she had at least known something.
In this case, I wouldn't avoid her.
There was no way for me to escape.
I held my cell phone tightly and replied calmly, "Okay, name a place."
"I'll send the location to you."
Melissa finished her words and hung up the phone.
In less than a minute, I received her text indicating where we were going to meet.
It was a lounge bar on the second floor of a hotel.
I got up and looked at Nancy, "Sorry, I may be quite occupied in the next few days. As for the matters of the studio..."
"Leave them to me. I can handle these trivial matters." Nancy interrupted me and picked up a resume before adding, "Recently, someone working in Towering High previously applies for our vacancy. Do you know her?"
After she finished speaking, I took a look at the resume.
I couldn't help laughing after seeing the photo without reading the name.
"Paulina Carter."
After I said this name, I stared at the name on the resume. It was indeed her.
"Look at what she wrote at the bottom of her resume."
Hearing Nancy's reminder, I looked down below the resume.
It turned out that at the bottom of her resume, Paulina left a message, which read, "Two goddesses, I worship you very much!" Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
"Puff!"
I couldn't help but laugh.
Because of the news and Melissa's call just now, I was distressed. At this moment, because of Paulina's message, I was in a good mood.
I quietly put Paulina's resume on the table, looked at Nancy, and put my hands in front of my chest, saying, "Let's recruit her. What do you think, Goddess Nancy?"
"Since Goddess Janetta has spoken up for her, I surely have to recruit her."
After saying that, Nancy picked up the phone newly installed in the studio and began to make a phone call to Paulina.
By the time I took my bag and went out, the phone had been connected. I heard Nancy said to the one over the phone in a business-like tone, "Hello, this is Swallowtail Butterfly Studio. Excuse me, is that Paulina speaking?"
Hearing what she said, I couldn't help but smile and close the door.
Paulina was one of the few colleagues getting along with me in Glorious Seth Design back then. Of course, if she could work with us, I would be happy.
I took a taxi and soon arrived at the restaurant where the lounge bar Melissa had mentioned.
I went up to the second floor and looked around the lounge bar. Seeing that Melissa hadn't come yet, I found a table in the corner and sat down.
I ordered myself a cup of coffee.
About half an hour later, Melissa arrived.
It was cold today. So Melissa wore a knitted long dress with a thick and dark- colored overcoat outside. Tying up her long hair behind her head, she walked in with an expensive Birkin Bag in her hands.
On the way in, a few rich ladies sitting in the restaurant all looked over at Melissa attentively.
Most of these women did not have a job and were not sensitive to other things. However, they were quite sensitive to these luxury goods.
Upon seeing that the bag was a good thing, everyone looked at it.
Of course, Melissa sensed the gazes around her. She raised her chin, proudly passed through the crowd, and finally sat down in front of me.
All the seats inside this restaurant were sofas.
She put the bag beside her and ordered a pot of fruit tea.
After the waiter left, she looked at me in anger right away. "Charlotte Archer, why are people from the Archer Family so haunting! How long are you going to pester my son?"
However, because everyone else had admired her bag, Melissa dared not speak too loudly.
"Auntie, I didn't pester your son. I am now Shelton's fiancee."
I said calmly.
I knew that no matter who had told Melissa about my identity, that person had only one purpose, that was, to see the Cowell Family end up being in misfortune.
Now that as I recalled, I realized who behind this was.
Who else could it be but Roger?
Hearing my words, Luo Shulan was even angrier, "Shelton's fiancee? Could it be that only men of the Cowell Family exist in the world? How come you can't marry another man instead? People coming from the Archer Family are all shameless. You made so many scenes at the beginning. If I had known these things, I wouldn't have agreed to let Patrick marry you!"
Melissa was away from home all year round. When Patrick and I got married, she actually didn't participate in it too much.
And they were estranged from Patrick anyway.
However, all the grand families cared about their dignities,. And Melissa was no exception.
Now that such a thing had happened. And the news had spread, embarrassing her. Naturally, she wanted to tear me apart with her own hands.
I sat there, looked at her calmly, and said, "There is no other way. We are predestined."
"Destiny?" After Melissa heard my words, her face turned livid. And she added, "Oh, Miss Archer, I think it's your deliberate plan to ruin the Cowell Family. Tell me, who gave you such an order?"
At this time, Melissa couldn't control her voice anymore.
Only after the surrounding people looked over did she restrain herself a little bit.
I looked at her and said blandly instead, "Then
Aunty, tell me, who told you this?"
I wanted to know what on earth Roger was capable of.
How come Melissa spoke up for him as well?
Unexpectedly, with a livid look, Melissa twisted her body and said coldly, "None of your business."
"Aunty, the reason why someone told you these things is that he doesn't want me to enjoy a good life and that he wants to ruin me. The way I see it, the one telling you these things should be the one who released the news. He did this to make the Cowell Family go against each other."
Treating Melissa friendly, I tried to reason with her. In fact, I did so out of my self-motive.
After all, I loved Patrick.
What Patrick had said in the dressing room at the engagement party back then was vivid in my mind.
Judging from everything currently, we couldn't be together. Even so, there was a little hope in the deepest part of my heart.
I thought that there was possibilities between us.
Patrick and I could be together.
So, I had to treat Melissa well.
If I left Shelton and ended up being with Patrick one day, I could make Melissa accept me with
some ease.
Hearing my words, Melissa seemed to look slightly better. After thinking for a moment, she said, "However, it is true that you are Charlotte Archer. And it is the fact that people coming from the Archer Family went back on their words several times. Now you are Shelton's fiancee, which is the truth!"
"Auntie, now the Archer Family is gone. The members of the Archer Family are either dead or injured." I looked at Melissa, "So, the Archer Family's matters are all over."
Melissa spoke in a hurry, "But since you have changed your appearance and want to be with Shelton, you shouldn't tell my son the truth. Now he divorced Kelsi to be with you. Do you know that based on the current situation, Towering High would be crumbling after leaving the Kelsi family?"
Even so, I could feel that her anger seemed to have subsided quite a bit.
I lowered my eyes slightly and said, "Sorry, Auntie, I didn't tell him on my own. He recognized me by himself. I indeed didn't intend to tell him the truth."
"Really?" Melissa wasn't dubious.
I nodded.
Melissa looked at me and wanted to say something a few times. Finally, she asked me, "Then tell me the truth. Regarding that child, Glenn, is he Patrick's child or not?"
All in all, the only question Melissa wanted to ask me was this one.
