Chapter 544: Chapter 486 The Best Man in the World
Demetrius looked at Melissa affectionately. "Ms. Eugen, please give me a chance. I believe you will find that I am more suitable for you than Murray is."
"Sorry, I can’t." Melissa rubbed his forehead a bit and said patiently, "I have found Murray. He is the one I want to be with for the rest of my life. We love each other, and it is impossible for us to separate. Prince Demetrius, you are an excellent man. And I believe you’ll find someone that is way better than me."
Melissa made it plain that she didn’t want to be with Demetrius, which hurt Demetrius a lot.
Growing up, Demetrius had always been the one who rejected others, not the other way around.
And Melissa was the first and only one that rejected Demetrius.
Demetrius found the feeling of rejection rather painful.
At the same time, what Melissa did piqued Demetrius’ interest in her.
He raised his head with determination. "Melissa, it’s okay that you don’t like me, but you can’t stop me from liking you. I have the right to pursue you!"
Hearing that, Melissa was distraught. Why was Demetrius so stubborn?
Why did he still fail to understand her despite all her words?
Soon, the event became a trending topic.
"Breaking news! The heir of the Wyvernholten royal family, Prince Demetrius, openly courted Ms. Eugen, the CEO of Star Entertainment!"
Below the news, people were discussing heatedly. Some were envious of Melissa and some were slandering her.
"Oh my gosh, it really is Prince Demetrius! How charming and romantic. Melissa was so lucky!"
"Isn’t Melissa about to get engaged to Mr. Gibson? Why does she still mess around with Prince Demetrius?"
"Melissa is a two-timer, simple and plain. She surely knows how to seduce guys, making Mr. Segar, Mr. Gibson, and Prince Demetrius completely bewitched by her!"
"What a bitch!"
Murray was reading the news in his office of the Gibson Corporation.
Seeing that Demetrius courting Melissa was in the news, Murray had a face like thunder.
The enlarged picture where Demetrius was kneeling on one knee and holding a bouquet of roses in front of Melissa triggered Murray the most.
Murray was distraught by seeing this. Why did Melissa reach out her hand to help him up? And how is it that I sense the chemistry between them?
"Mr. Gibson, the document needs signing." The moment when Alex pushed the door open, he sensed the gloom in the office.
Of course, Alex had seen the news about Melissa and Demetrius.
Ever since Demetrius appeared in the Gibson Corporation and mounted a challenge for Murray, Murray became unhappy.
Alex thought, Ms. Eugen is just too excellent and eye-catching. It makes sense that she has many suitors.
Before, it was Mr. Segar. And now, there is this prince. What rivals in love!
"Remove those trending topics." Murray looked up and glanced at Alex coldly.
"Yes, Mr. Gibson." Alex’s heart jolted when Murray gave the order. Therefore, Alex hurried to reply respectfully.
That night, when Melissa returned to the Moonlight Mansion, she saw Murray sitting on the sofa in the living room. He was reading a financial magazine with a gloomy face.
She then walked over and sat next to Murray. "Was it you that had the trending topic removed?"
Murray put down the magazine and tilted his head while looking sideways at her. "Who else would do that?"
Melissa could sense Murray’s jealousy, which made her chuckle a bit. Then she wrapped her arms around his neck. "I don’t know what Demetrius is up to. I have already turned him down firmly."
"If he keeps pestering you like that, I will have to take action." Murray narrowed his eyes, sounding dangerous.
He thought, yes, he is from a royal family. So what?
I can still make him go back anyway.
"What are you planning?" Melissa, startled, hurried to say, "Don’t act recklessly. Demetrius is just being childish, easily triggered and eager to challenge the impossible. But he will lose interest in me soon. By then, he will go back to Wyvernholt. I mean, as a noble that is excellent in all aspects, he can get whatever woman he likes. He doesn’t have to hold on to me, you know?"
Melissa did not think that Demetrius loved her a lot. After all, they had only met once at Michelle’s birthday party. How deeply could he be drawn to her in such a short period of time?
It was just that, as a noble, one that had never been rejected before, Demetrius wasn’t resigned to just accepting it. He was only acting out of self-esteem.
As long as she rejected him a few more times, he would feel bored and change his target.
"What? Demetrius is a noble that is excellent in all aspects?" Murray was sullen upon hearing that. "Is he that good?"
Melissa was left at a loss for words.
Murray was jealous again!
"In my eyes, you’re the best man in the world." Melissa looked into Murray’s eyes, which seemed unfathomable.
Murray didn’t feel happy until now.
He reached out his arms and wrapped them around Melissa. And then he lowered his head to kiss her red lips, which looked seductive and sweet.
The two of them kissed for quite a while until Melissa pushed him away, saying, "Alright, I can’t breathe anymore..."
"Melissa, we will get married next week right after the engagement party. I want you to become mine, only mine. I can’t wait any longer!" Murray looked serious and passionate.
"Let’s talk about it later." Melissa blushed.
Meanwhile, Demetrius kept going to Star Entertainment daily. Sometimes he came at noon, and sometimes he was there in the afternoon. When he came, he would either bring some chocolate or flowers, or just wait for Melissa in her office and keep asking her out for dinner.
But Melissa turned him down every time without exception.
After a few days, Demetrius became disheartened. But meanwhile, his desire for Melissa grew deeper and deeper.
One day, Adela happened to walk by the office building of Star Entertainment. She ran into Demetrius, who seemed dejected with a bouquet of red roses in his hand. And then she heard Demetrius muttering, "What exactly does Melissa like? How can I tug at her heartstrings..."
Adela halted and turned around, asking, "What did you just say? Melissa?"
Hearing that, Demetrius swiveled around as well. Noticing that the woman was a stranger to him, Demetrius then asked, "Do you know her?"
Adela walked up to Demetrius. All at once, the trending topic flitted through her mind. Now she knew the man in front of her was the noble mentioned in the news. In its wake, a plan emerged in her mind.
She looked at Demetrius, a smile on her face.
Adela glanced at the red roses in his hand and said, "Are you chasing after Melissa? I know her, and I think I can help you."
