Chapter 561: Chapter 503 My Man Looks Great
Melissa hoped that Demetrius could understand, but Demetrius showed a very puzzled look.
He didn’t understand why Melissa said that, so he told her directly, "I like you because you are good-looking and elegant. You are the most beautiful Anglian girl I have ever seen. I fell for you when we danced. And I hope you can accept me. Melissa, I don’t want to go back to Wyvernholt before you say yes.
"Moreover, if you don’t want to go back to Wyvernholt with me, I can move here and stay with you. It’s not a big deal." He put on a charming smile.
Melissa was speechless.
She didn’t know how to put it clearly to Demetrius. She looked at him helplessly for a long time before she finally opened her mouth again.
"Listen. I don’t think this will work out. I think you should go back to Wyvernholt. It’s good for you. Moreover, it is impossible for me to be separated from Murray. Your feelings for me might be illusions. One day, when you meet your beloved one, you will understand me."
Demetrius was also silent. He frowned for a long time as if he was pondering over Melissa’s words. Just as Melissa finally heaved a sigh of relief and thought that he was convinced, she suddenly heard Demetrius’ voice.
"Forget it. You might be too shocked to accept me. Oh, right. It’ll be my birthday in three days. Why don’t you show me around here?"
Demetrius didn’t get it.
Melissa silently turned her head and sighed. The bottom of her palm was against her forehead. She looked very distracted. However, she looked up at Demetrius’ eyes. Although he seemed pitiful, she still had to refuse him.
She couldn’t stand it if Murray became jealous again.
"No, I have a meeting. I don’t have time to show you around the city. You should go back to Wyvernholt as I said."
"No!" Demetrius was excited, and he retorted, "I helped you and Murray in the hotel. You said that you owed me a favor. You can’t go back on your word!"
Melissa was speechless for a moment. She did not even know how to answer Demetrius. After all, she did say so to him. In this case, she couldn’t refuse him.
"Alright..."
After thinking for a while, Melissa agreed, "Three days later, I will wait for you outside the hotel you live in at nine in the morning. I will show you around.
"But now, I have to work. You will disturb me and they will misunderstand me if you’re here. So can you go?"
As she spoke, she even revealed a mild smile. But her heart was actually filled with helplessness and exhaustion.
She wondered when Demetrius would return to Wyvernholt.
Demetrius wanted to say something more, but he did not say it. Instead, he nodded happily. When he walked to the door, he waved to Melissa.
"See you then!"
As long as he could stay with Melissa alone, he would have the chance to be closer to her.
Melissa held her forehead. If Murray knew this, he would probably be jealous again.
She read a few more scripts, and for some reason, she suddenly missed Murray.
She couldn’t stop thinking about Murray’s handsome face. But they had just separated in the morning.
Melissa shook her head gently, closed the laptop, and drove to the Gibson Corporation.
Melissa had been busy with the work of Star Entertainment and had put aside the work of the Gibson Corporation for a long time.
However, the "Ice and Fire" project that Melissa had been in charge of developed well.
The jewelry was popular and even ran out of stock.
The BPL Group seemed to have laid low recently, and Sebastian didn’t do anything.
Everything seemed alright.
Melissa drove the car, her hands holding the steering wheel tightly as she silently pondered.
Ever since her grandfather came to Aldness, Melissa had wanted to ask her grandfather about her parents. But she swallowed her words again and again.
When she was a child, whenever she mentioned this topic, her grandfather would put on a solemn face, which was still vivid in her mind.
It only took her half an hour to get to the Gibson Corporation from Star Entertainment.
For some reason, Melissa felt that there was a car following behind her. When she wanted to look at it carefully, it was submerged in the traffic.
She wondered if she had made a mistake.
Melissa furrowed her brows. Suddenly, she had a bad feeling that something would happen.
Soon, Melissa arrived at the Gibson Corporation.
As soon as she reached the gate, she heard several receptionists gossiping.
"Have you heard about what happened between Ms. Eugen and Prince Demetrius?"
"Of course. How could I not know about it? The news went viral."
"Do you think Ms. Eugen likes Prince Demetrius or Mr. Gibson?"
"Mr. Gibson. Mr. Gibson and Ms. Eugen are a perfect match."
"Prince Demetrius is not bad. He is a prince!"
Melissa frowned and coughed lightly.
"Ms. Eugen." They immediately went silent and greeted Melissa nervously.
After all, Melissa was the future wife of the CEO of the Gibson Corporation. She was about to be engaged to Murray.
Although there had been rumors about Melissa and Prince Demetrius in the past few days, rumors were just rumors.
"If you still want to work here, don’t gossip." Melissa glanced at them and said indifferently, walking into the elevator.
"Yes, Ms. Eugen. I’m sorry." They looked at each other with regret, fearing that they would lose their jobs.
Melissa went straight to the president’s office on the top floor and knocked on the door.
"Come in." Murray’s voice sounded.
Melissa opened the door and entered.
Murray was sitting in his seat, focusing on the computer screen.
He was dressed in a gray costumed suit, setting off his perfect figure. His angular face was exquisite and handsome.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the glass windows on his body, and it seemed that there was a halo around him. He was dazzling and noble.
Looking at the handsome man in front of her, Melissa couldn’t help but be in a daze for a moment.
When he heard the sound, Murray looked up and saw that Melissa was staring at him. He couldn’t help but curl his lips and say in a low voice, "Are you done?"
"No." Melissa smiled faintly and walked toward him.
Melissa’s answer was somewhat unexpected to Murray.
Melissa sat down on the sofa and raised her eyebrows. "My man looks great. Why not?"
