Chapter 543: Chapter 485 The Romantic Prince
Melissa turned vexed during lunch because of Sarah and Claire.
After lunch, Melissa, slightly depressed, stood up and said to Enoch, "Grandpa, stay here in the Gibson’s house. Murray and I will leave now."
Enoch would stay here for only a couple of days. After the engagement party, he would resume his travel around the world.
Therefore, Melissa arranged for Enoch to live in the Gibson’s house during his stay in America, which was also Marc’s idea.
"Alright." Enoch smiled and nodded.
Although Sarah and Claire had made things very difficult for Melissa, Enoch didn’t feel concerned about Melissa at all since he knew that Murray was with her.
Moreover, Enoch believed that Melissa was totally capable of dealing with the two difficult women.
After coming out of the Gibson’s house, Melissa got into Murray’s car. "Send me back to the Moonlight Mansion. I feel a bit tired and need to rest now."
"What happened? Are you alright?" Murray looked at Melissa, his eyes full of concern.
"I’m fine. I just feel a little tired." Melissa smiled.
"All right, then." Murray nodded. And then he sent Melissa back to the Moonlight Mansion before driving to the Gibson Corporation.
A while later, when Melissa was about to take a rest, Vivian called.
Could it be that Jeremy was pestering Vivian again?
Melissa, perplexed, picked up the phone. "Vivian, what’s the matter?"
"Meli, come to the company now." Vivian sounded urgent.
Melissa’s heart jolted. "What happened?"
"That Prince Demetrius’s extravagance is..." Vivian said over the phone, "There are roses spread all over the entrance of the company. And then there is a banner and a team courting you openly. That has attracted many reporters. Jaylin is trying to talk with Demetrius."
"What?" Melissa massaged her temples a bit, trying to soothe herself.
What is Demetrius doing?
Didn’t I already make it clear to him?
"Alright, I got it. I’ll be there right away," Melissa said calmly.
Soon Melissa got to Star Entertainment. Just like Vivian had said, it was ostentation.
Outside the company, there were delicate blue enchantresses here and there, which were displayed beautifully in all kinds of patterns. In the middle, there were a couple of words, reading, "Melissa, I love you!"
Meanwhile, banners were hung outside the buildings around Star Entertainment. There were many sentences written on those banners, which were used to court Melissa.
The extravagance of all this manifested how much Demetrius, a prince, loved Melissa.
But, the more extravagant it was, the more terrible Melissa felt.
Meanwhile, reporters were swarming, all vying to interview Prince Demetrius.
"Prince Demetrius, when did you first meet Ms. Eugen? Did you fall in love with her at first sight?" A reporter pointed the microphone at Demetrius.
"Yes, it’s love at first sight." Prince Demetrius nodded, making no secret of his love for Melissa. "I met Ms. Eugen at a banquet in Wyvernholt. I fell in love with her at first sight. She is my goddess. I love her!"
"It’s so romantic! But, Your Highness, have you heard that Ms. Eugen is Mr. Gibson’s fiancée? They are going to hold an engagement party next weekend. Do you know that?" the reporter asked.
"I know that." Demetrius shrugged and remained smiling. "It’s just an engagement. No big deal. As long as she is not married, I can pursue her."
Actually, when Melissa arrived at Star Entertainment just now, she happened to hear Demetrius say this.
Is Demetrius crazy?
I’ve made it clear to him that I am Murray’s fiancée and that Murray and I love each other. Why is Demetrius still doing all this?
"Ms. Eugen is here!" A reporter spotted Melissa in the crowd and shouted excitedly.
Soon, a swarm of reporters rushed toward Melissa and gathered around her.
"Ms. Eugen, what is your relationship with Prince Demetrius? He falls in love with you at first sight. And what about you? What do you have to say about this?"
"Does Mr. Gibson know that Prince Demetrius is pursuing you? Is the engagement party still to be held next week?"
"Ms. Eugen, will you choose Prince Demetrius over Mr. Gibson? Or have you decided to just two-time Mr. Gibson? And also, there were rumors about you and Mr. Segar before. Are you just an unfaithful woman?" Those reporters went on and on.
Melissa frowned upon hearing all this. "The engagement party will be held as usual. And please don’t make any assumptions about my personal life. That’s it!"
Then Melissa pushed her way through the reporters and asked the security guards to block them outside.
"Melissa, finally you’re here!" Demetrius gazed at Melissa with pure adoration.
Demetrius had been waiting for Melissa at Starry Entertainment for hours. Therefore, he was overjoyed at the sight of Melissa.
"This is a surprise I prepared specifically for you. Do you like it?" Then Demetrius took out a bouquet of roses as if by magic and knelt on one knee while handing the bouquet to Melissa.
Melissa was left at a loss for words.
A surprise?
It was more like a fright!
"Please get up." Noticing that Demetrius was determined to deliver the flowers, Melissa quickly reached out her hands to help him up.
Demetrius then stood up, looking affectionate. "Melissa, do you not like roses? Tell me what you like. Whatever it is, I will try my best to get it for you."
Melissa, once again, was left at a loss for words.
Then she took a deep breath and said, "Come in with me."
The two of them then walked to the reception room. When they got there, Melissa pointed at the sofa and said, "Please take a seat."
Demetrius sat down as he was told. But all the while, he kept looking at Melissa.
This girl in front of him was so charming that he was irresistibly drawn to her.
"Demetrius, let’s have a talk," Melissa sat next to him and said in earnest.
Joseph nodded. "OK!"
Melissa cleared her throat and said, "I think you know that Murray and I are a couple, right? Actually, we will be engaged next week."
"I know, but so what?" Demetrius understood that Melissa was turning him down. His eyes dimmed a little.
As a prince, coupled with his outstanding handsomeness, Joseph actually was the Mr. Charming for girls in his country. Many girls were crazy about him.
However, he did not have feelings for those girls despite having had several girlfriends before.
Until that time, at Michelle’s birthday party, he saw Melissa, that was when his heart leaped.
In his eyes, Melissa was elegant, generous, confident, and radiant. Joseph felt that Melissa had stirred his blood.
That was why he came all the way to America. He wanted to let Melissa know that he loved her!
He wanted to pursue her and marry her, making her Princess Melissa.
