I Became His Sweetheart

Chapter 328 Group Photo

When the skies turned dark in the evening. Melanie looked around the exhibition and noticed that the number of guests who were here purely to visit the exhibition had dwindled. Only partners of Jones Enterprise or Morgan Group were left.

She instructed her assistant to continue extending hospitality to them, while she headed backstage to look for Jeffrey. “President Morgan?” She pushed the door of the lounge open, and asked, “It’s about time. Shall we take a group photo?” “Don't find me a nuisance now?”

Jeffrey looked up, a tinge of pride mixed with displeasure in the depths of his eyes.

Melanie gave him a toothy smile as she squeezed through the door opening. “Well, well. Is President Morgan

angry?”

Jeffrey immediately stood up, and straightened the hem of his shirt. “I wouldn't dare. I’m completely at your

beck and call.”

Melanie burst out laughing, unable to hold in her amusement. “Are you sure? Come on, then. Ill escort you there, President Morgan. This way, please...”

The two of them joked around as they walked out of the backstage. At the exit, the assistant from the perfume department ran over to inform Melanie, “Miss, President Morgan, President Romero's bouquet has been

delivered. He’s waiting outside right now.....” “Oh, I'll go take a look.”

Melanie followed her assistant and signaled for Jeffrey to wait for her at the photo taking spot. When she

arrived at the entrance of the exhibition, she saw that the one who came to deliver the bouquet wasn’t Luis’s

assistant, but Isla.

“Congratulations, Ms. Jones. It’s so lively here, I’m sure your perfume exhibition has been a huge success,” Isla said politely. “Thank you.”

After the singular pleasantry, Isla’s eyes started drifting. “Um... Where is President Morgan?”

“Looks like you have other things in mind aside from the exhibition,” Melanie said, her eyes growing cold. ”

President Morgan is inside. I'll bring you to him.”

“Please don’t tease me like that. I’m here to congratulate you, of course. It’s just that | also bought something for President Morgan and want to hand it to him personally,” Isla said, her face red with embarrassment.

“What is it?”

“Some health supplements. | bought it for my father, and he finds them great. They’re prepared specially for too

“How kind of you to do that, Ms. Romero,” Melanie said flatly.

Isla’s face flushed a deeper red as she followed Melanie into the exhibition hall, a small bag in hand.

When Melanie saw Jeffrey, she said frankly, “Ms. Romero is here specially to see you, President Morgan. I'll leave her in your good hands. Please welcome her warmly.”

Jeffrey's eyes froze momentarily as he stared at Melanie’s retreating back, which seemed to be burning with flames. He wouldn’t dare to treat any woman Melanie left in his hands warmly...

“President Morgan, these are some health supplements | bought for you.” Isla bowed her head, too shy to look directly at him, as she handed Jeffrey the small bag.

Jeffrey's eyes narrowed. “Health supplements? Do | look very old to you?”

“No, | don’t mean that, it’s just that...”

Before Isla was done talking, Jeffrey lifted his hand and pushed her bag away. “Take it back. | don’t need it.”

Isla wanted to say something more, but William stepped forward in a timely manner. “President Morgan, it’s time to take the group photo. Let’s head over.”Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Okay.”

Jeffrey strode off without saying anything further.

Isla paused for a moment before following him.

The crowd parted ways to let Jeffrey through. He made a beeline for Melanie, who was helping the staff position everyone properly, and stood right behind her like a bodyguard.

Before he had a chance to speak, Isla came over and asked, “Ms. Jones, can | join the group photo?” “Of course, you can!” Melanie reached out and pulled Isla in. “You’re such a pretty lady, you'll make our photo look great.”

“Please don’t tease me. You're the pretty one. | heard that Leo York fell in love with you at first sight, and pursued you all the way from Medonia to Harbor City. Before you came along, I’ve never heard of any woman. capable of capturing his attention like that!” Isla said gleefully as she shared the gossip she heard.

She didn’t notice Jeffrey’s eyes growing cold. She even stepped forward, speaking right into Melanie’s ear, “| even know that Mr. Quicksilver, who’s in charge of liaising with my father’s company, fancies you too!”

Isla even pointed at Quincy, who was walking toward Melanie. “Impossible.” Melanie waved her hands profusely, sensing the jealousy growing in the man standing right behind her.

Just then, Quincy came to Melanie's side. While trying to hide her embarrassment, Melanie said, “Thank you for your bouquet. Find a spot and get ready for the group photo.”

“I'm not in a rush,” Quincy said with a warm smile. “I'll stand right next to you once you're ready.”
