Chapter 445: Chapter 387 Secret Romance?
Melissa had never liked to talk about her private life in public.
"I’m sorry. Jaylin and I finished our work today, and I answered the questions about the movie. Now we are not going to be interviewed. Please make way."
Melissa said with a business-like attitude. Her tone was normal, but her eyes turned cold.
"Ms. Eugen, tell us something. Mr. Segar, please tell us..."
The reporters retreated, but they had no intention of giving up.
"Dispirited Ex of the President of the Gibson Corporation is Enamoured with the New Movie King."
If a piece of news with such a headline was released, how much popularity it would gain!
So the reporters would not let go of this good opportunity.
"Mr. Segar, do you plan to pursue Ms. Eugen? Will you feel pressured because she is your boss?"
Jaylin stopped, and Melissa cast a puzzled glance at him.
She wondered, what is he going to say?
Shouldn’t we leave as soon as possible at this time?
Jaylin cleared his throat and faced a microphone in front of him. He smiled at Melissa and then said seriously, "Although Ms. Eugen and I are now only superior and subordinate, as well as friends, I have always liked her and I am also pursuing her. As for the question you asked... it depends on when she accepts me."
Jaylin’s words were like a time bomb being thrown at a group of reporters. The reporter who received the answer fell silent, smiled, and felt quite satisfied.
The sound of cameras taking photos kept cracking.
Melissa was obviously surprised.
She couldn’t help but be a little angry. She turned her head and frowned at Jaylin.
"Ms. Eugen, what is your attitude? Do you also like Mr. Segar?"
"Ms. Eugen, please answer our questions..."
Melissa pursed her lips tightly and lowered her head slightly. The polite smile on her face had disappeared. It was obvious that she was not willing to answer those questions.
Also, she could not understand why Jaylin would say those words in front of the reporters. She had seriously rejected him.
Jaylin looked at Melissa with a smile and lowered his head to ask with concern, "What’s the matter?"
Melissa turned her face slightly and stared at Jaylin with anger. She even pulled his arm. "Don’t talk nonsense!"
She quickly walked forward, and Jaylin followed her. They got into the nanny van, leaving the reporters behind.
The next day, the news was released on the Internet.
"Ex-wife of the President of the Gibson Group Doesn’t Want to Expose Her Relationship with Mr. Segar!"
Similar headlines appeared on social media and became trending topics.
...
Five days later, Julie was released from the police station.
She seemed to have changed into a different person. When she walked out of the police station, she was absent-minded. She saw her driver, but she quickly looked away after a glance. And she looked much more haggard.
As soon as Julie got home, she saw her father sitting on the sofa with a serious expression. She lowered her head to avoid looking at his face. Just as she was about to go upstairs, she was stopped by Philip.
"Stop!"
Philip’s voice was not loud, but it contained faint anger and dignity that could not be refused.
Julie stood in place for a long time before she turned around and slowly walked to Philip. She began sobbing with a grievance. "Father..."
"Don’t call me father!"
Philip was trying to suppress his anger. He raised his head and glared at Julie. He stood up and walked in front of her. Then, he raised his hand and slapped his daughter, who had always been the apple of his eye.
He thought that Julie had been sensible all the time, but he did not expect that she would make such a big mistake.
Julie stood there in great shock. She knew that she had done something wrong, so she didn’t dare to cry out. She just covered her face, and her eyes turned red.
"Do you know how much trouble you’ve caused this time? It didn’t matter if you acted unrestrainedly at the usual time, but this time, you were sent to the police station! If I hadn’t found someone and spent so much effort to get you out, you would have been in jail!"
Philip had been busy with the company’s business for the past few days. Because of Julie, the stock price of his company plummeted, and the investors even withdrew their money from several projects. Thus, the company had gotten serious cash-flow problems.
When Philip scolded Julie, he was so furious that blue veins stood out on his neck. He looked at his daughter, discontented with her letting him down. The anger in his heart was vented, but it was useless.
"Dad..." Julie’s lips trembled, and her heart was full of regret. She hated Adela, and Melissa even more. If it weren’t for them, how could she have suffered so much?
"I know I was wrong. Dad, I won’t dare to do it again..."
Julie couldn’t stop crying, and her tears kept falling down her face. But Philip just snorted.
"Go back to your room. Don’t go out casually in the future, lest you cause trouble again!"
Julie returned to her room and closed the door. She lay on the bed and cried sadly.
Her phone rang suddenly. She picked it up with tears in her eyes. As soon as she turned it on, she saw the news with the headline "Star Entertainment’s President Melissa’s Underground Romance with Mr. Segar!"
Julie immediately became spirited.
She was confused in her heart. She thought, Melissa and Jaylin?
She frowned, her fingers sliding across the screen of her phone. And then she finished reading the article that was exaggerated by the reporters.
Melissa...
Julie gritted her teeth, her eyes full of anger.
She thought with hatred, Melissa, I must get rid of you! Jaylin can only be mine!
"The proposal for North Bay Amusement Park..."
In the conference room, Murray was discussing with other board members and higher-ups how to launch the plan for North Bay Amusement Park and how to attract investments
All of a sudden, the phone vibrated in his pocket.
After another five minutes, it was time to stop discussing to organize thoughts. Murray took a sip of coffee, then took out his phone, and turned it on.
And he saw the news about Melissa and Jaylin.
Murray frowned slightly, and his fingers exerted a little more force. When he saw the words "Underground Romance", he could not sit still.
"I’ll go out to make a call. Sorry."
Murray tidied his suit and briefly said to the people who attended the meeting. Then he quickly walked out of the meeting room with a serious expression.
He thought, Melissa! That woman!
"Melissa, what does it mean by the ’Underground Romance’ between you and Mr. Segar? Tell me what’s going on!"
As soon as Melissa answered the phone, Murray could not wait to ask. Melissa could even hear the sound of him gritting his teeth.
Murray was once again jealous.
Melissa had a headache. The rumors and public opinion were widespread, and she had asked the public relations department to deal with them urgently. However, she had forgotten Murray, who was prone to be jealous.
