Chapter 537: Chapter 479 It’s Better to Face Reality
In the end, she still glanced at Murray and deliberately teased him with a smile in her eyes, "That still depends on how you’re doing. If you don’t meet my requirements, I won’t agree."
Murray tsked. Just as he moved to resist, Demetrius suddenly barged in. Alex followed in a hurry. When Alex saw Murray and Melissa, he hurriedly said, "I’m sorry, Mr. Gibson, Ms. Eugen. He ... suddenly ran in and said he wanted to see Ms. Eugen. I couldn’t stop him."
When Melissa saw Demetrius, she subconsciously felt helpless. Demetrius was a young Wyvernholten man and his enthusiasm was overwhelming...
Demetrius snorted and stared straight at Melissa. When he saw Murray, he was surprised and widened his eyes.
Murray was the man who stopped him from asking for Melissa’s number that night.
"It’s you! Are you the man who was on the phone with Melissa?"
Murray tsked and nodded at Alex, indicating that Alex should get back to work. When the door of the office closed again, Murray raised his head and looked at Demetrius with a confident smile in his eyes.
"Yes, I am her boyfriend."
"Boyfriend?" Demetrius asked quickly and looked like he did not take this seriously at all. His gaze only lingered on Melissa for a second before he looked at Murray, his eyes showing fierceness and threats.
"Then from now on, I want to compete with you fairly. I also like her. I want to pursue her."
Melissa helplessly touched her forehead.
Demetrius was challenging Murray, a man who got jealous easily. Why couldn’t Demetrius understand what she said?
"Pursuing her?"
Murray laughed and looked at Demetrius with disdain. Murray even felt that this young man was a little overestimating himself. He immediately pulled Melissa, who was standing next to him, into his arms. Melissa was a little unprepared.
"In addition to being her boyfriend, I am also her fiancé. We will be engaged next week. Mr. Harris, I think it is better for you to accept reality."
Melissa pursed her lips. She did not speak and did not know what to say at this time.
In the face of Murray’s provocation and unkind persuasion, Demetrius did not seem to think too much of it. In his world, as long as he persevered, there was nothing that could not be obtained, not to mention that he really liked Melissa.
He kind of fell in love with her at first sight.
He was naturally in pursuit of freedom and romance. He wouldn’t easily give up the girl he fell in love with at first sight no matter what.
"Why should I accept the reality? You guys are not married yet. As long as you are not married, I still have a chance. It is not even the last moment. Who knows if Melissa will like me?"
Demetrius’s answer seemed very confident. Murray could not help but laugh when he heard that.
He thought Demetrius was too confident.
"Well, if Mr. Harris has nothing else to say, please leave as soon as possible. I’m going to have dinner with my fiancée."
Murray asked Demetrius to leave. Then, without looking at Demetrius, he directly held Melissa’s hand and walked out.
When Melissa walked out of the company, she also sighed. "I really don’t know why he wouldn’t give up..."
Murray had been holding her hand. When he heard Melissa’s words, he slightly turned his head to look at her expression. After a while, he suddenly laughed and shook his head.
Melissa looked at him doubtfully. Just now, this man was still angry in the office. Why was he laughing now? That was so weird.
"What happened to you?" she asked doubtfully.
Murray shook his head. "No, it’s just that I thought of Demetrius’s appearance just now and found it a little funny. I’m not laughing at him, but thinking that my wife is really popular. It’s understandable that others like you."
Melissa stared at Murray for two seconds and couldn’t help but laugh. "Then why were you so angry just now? I was afraid that you would fight with Demetrius."
Murray put his arm around her shoulder. "I was jealous just now? When I saw my wife being pursued by others, how could I stay calm?"
The two smiled and walked forward, going to a restaurant in the city center for dinner.
"Melissa, I can’t wait to marry you." Along the way, whenever Murray thought of Demetrius’s provocation, he was still unhappy.
"It depends on how you are doing," Melissa said with a faint smile.
...
The night befell.
People were getting wasted in Charm bar.
Vivian sat in a seat and finished her drink.
The spicy liquid caused her to cough violently a few times, and she could not help but cover her mouth, causing the bartender to look at her.
"One more."
Looking at the bartender, Vivian pursed and pushed the empty glass over, pretending to be tough.
"This is a very strong wine. Don’t have too much, or you’ll get drunk." The bartender’s expression was a little weird, and his eyes looked at another table.
"It’s none of your business." Vivian interrupted the bartender and looked at the water droplets falling from the glass.
She sniffed, but the music in the bar gradually turned into Jaylin’s words.
"I have always treated Vivian as my younger sister."
She was only a younger sister in his eyes.
Vivian’s heart was filled with bitterness which almost swallowed her.
Even though Vivian knew that the woman Jaylin liked was Melissa, hearing Jaylin say that he only treated her as his younger sister, Vivian was still extremely sad.
Biting her lower lip, Vivian clutched her wine glass. It turned out that she had been flattering herself.
She had been by Jaylin’s side for so long and had secretly loved him until that time when she mustered up the courage to confess her love to him but was rejected by him. But she always felt that he treated her differently.
His gentleness, his smile, everything about him...
When she thought of this, her eyes were tearful. Her fingers holding the glass slowly tightened.
Suddenly, the phone in her pocket rang. Vivian’s eyes lit up, and she quickly took it out. However, when she saw the caller ID, the smile of anticipation on her lips disappeared.
"Vivian, where are you? There’s another job tomorrow. The script has already been sent over." Her agent’s voice came from the phone.
"I don’t want to..." Vivian murmured and drank the wine again.
Hearing ear-piercing music, the agent became nervous. "Why is it so noisy over there? Where are you? Are you..."
"Noisy..." Vivian hung up her agent’s phone for the first time. Alcohol made her feel a little dizzy, and she vaguely saw a person walking over.
"What a coincidence." Jeremy sat down beside Vivian. "You came alone?"
Vivian naturally recognized the person in front of him. She immediately frowned in displeasure. Jeremy had always been pestering her with ill intentions. Last time, Jaylin stood up for her and caused so much trouble.
Vivian did not expect to meet Jeremy in the bar. She did not pay attention to him at all. Vivian stood up and wanted to leave, but she felt dizzy.
