Chapter 530: Chapter 472 Cooperation
Since Declan had mentioned it, Melissa didn’t want to beat around the bush. "I have already considered the conditions that Mr. Yale mentioned. It is indeed quite good for Star Entertainment, but I would like to ask Mr. Yale why you trust me so much? You know me and your sister..."
After saying this, Melissa did not continue. She believed that he understood what she meant.
Declan was stunned for a moment, but his expression did not change at all. He then smiled apologetically. "Ms. Eugen, I know that my sister has done a lot of wrong things before and hurt you and Mr. Gibson. However, I chose to find you to discuss this business, and it has nothing to do with my sister. Although Star Entertainment is a company that has been established not long ago, it is undeniable that your company is full of elites. Half of the films you shot are popular and TV dramas and movies have been discussed heatedly in recent years. What reason do I have to not choose you?"
Melissa nodded lightly. The reason that Declan gave was indeed sufficient. Moreover, what he said made sense. Although she did not get along well with Adela, there was no need to go against her brother. They did it for business...
"Since you said so, won’t I be too disrespectful if I don’t agree?"
Declan laughed. "Then Ms. Eugen, do we have the cooperation?"
They were talking and laughing. After the dishes were served, they began to eat. However, none of them noticed that Claire was just outside. She could see them eating.
She looked at the scene with resentment, but there was a hint of pleasure in her eyes. She had been out shopping with her friends, but when she got there, she saw Melissa and Declan enter the restaurant.
Melissa, you are busted!
Without any hesitation, Claire took out her phone and aimed it at Melissa. She took a photo of her and Declan having lunch together and sent it to Murray.
Murray was just about to get off work when he heard the phone ring and picked it up. Then he saw Claire send him a photo of Melissa and Declan having a meal.
Murray looked at the woman on the screen and his expression changed. His fingers clenched the edge of the mobile phone. He put it in his pocket.
After having lunch with Declan, Melissa went to the company. She was busy before returning home. As soon as she entered, she saw Murray sitting on the sofa with a darkened face. Melissa looked at him in confusion.
"What happened to you? Why are you unhappy again?"
"Why did you go to the restaurant with Declan today?" Murray looked up at her.
Melissa was stunned. She did not know how Murray knew about this, but it was not a big deal. She hung her coat on the hanger next to the entrance and said, "I went to Harley’s house to see Nina today. When I came out, I met Mr. Yale. He wanted to talk to me about work, so I went to the restaurant with him. We chatted while eating. How did you know about this?"
Melissa said so much, but Murray could not stand the name of Declan. He was possessive, and he had told Melissa many times.
"It doesn’t matter how I knew about it." After Melissa sat beside Murray, he said, "In the future, you can’t contact other men. Do you understand? I’m very jealous."
Melissa sighed helplessly and turned her head to the side. She even rolled her eyes. Why was Murray always like this?
She was speechless.
"I told you I didn’t. I was just talking to Mr. Yale about work. Don’t restrict my life."
"Restrict your life?" Murray snorted. He was very dissatisfied with this sentence. After Melissa said it, he kissed her fervently like before.
It took him more than ten seconds to let go of her. They lingered around each other for a long time before Melissa finally broke free from Murray’s embrace. "Alright. Alright, stop it... The phone is ringing. I’ll go answer the call."
As soon as Melissa picked up and said hello, Enoch’s voice came from the other side of the line. Melissa showed a surprised look, and even her voice became very excited, "Grandpa, you finally called me! I miss you..."
Enoch said with a smile, "I’ve been watching TV for the past few days. I also saw that you are going to have an engagement ceremony with a boss in the city. I saw it. The young man looked very good. I have been in good health recently and want to come back to attend your engagement ceremony."
"Are you serious?" Melissa laughed, her tone brimming with happiness, "Of course, that’s good. When will you come to Aldness? I will pick you up!"
"In a few days... I will call you when I arrive."
Melissa smiled and agreed. After a few more words with her grandfather, she hung up the phone and turned to Murray. "Grandpa called and said that he would also attend our engagement ceremony in Aldness in a few days. It’s great. I haven’t seen him for a long time."
Murray smiled and patted Melissa on the shoulder. "Okay, when Grandpa arrives in Aldness, tell me. We will go to pick him up together."
...
A week later, Vivian was discharged from the hospital. As usual, it was Jaylin who helped her with the discharge procedures.
When they walked out of the hospital, Jaylin was still holding Vivian. Vivian lowered her head slightly and was a little embarrassed. "Jaylin, I’m really fine..."
"Vivian!"
Vivian looked up and saw Jeremy, who was waiting at the foot of the steps, walking toward her with a bouquet of lilies in his hand with a smile. He was not as embarrassed as he had been driven away from the hospital last time.
"I know you were discharged today, so I rushed over to pick you up. How is it? Are you well? Come. I’ll take you home."
As he spoke, Jeremy wanted to go over and hold Vivian’s hand. Vivian stiffened, and she took the initiative to grab Jaylin’s sleeve. It was obviously a signal for help.
Jaylin frowned, not hiding his disgust for Jeremy at all. "Why are you here again?"
Jeremy rolled his eyes at Jaylin. "What? Jaylin, why are you still haunting us? I came to pick up Vivian from the hospital and you are also here. Are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?"
Jaylin retorted and kept Vivian behind him. "I warned you not to come and see Vivian. Don’t provoke people from our company. It seems that you treat my words as nothing, right?"
