Melanie nodded politely toward the assistant. “Alright, then. I’ll wait for her.”
The assistant brought her to a lounge area and poured her a cup of coffee before. politely requesting that she wait here.
At first, Melanie was able to keep her cool as she waited, but after sitting there for what seemed like hours, she noticed that no one had come out of the office at all.
She was getting rather impatient when the assistant came to refill her cup. By now, Melanie had drunk five whole cups of coffee, and she was not in the mood to drink another.
She frowned and was about to question the assistant, but suddenly, she jumped at the sight of the person who just appeared in front of her. “Why are you here?” she exclaimed.
Her eyes were filled with puzzlement as she had no clue why Vania would show up here at a time like this. They did not get along at all, so if Vania said something negative about her in front of Mia, then Melanie’s effort would surely go to waste.
Before Vania could enter the office, Melanie hurried forward to block her path and questioned her in a hushed tone, “What are you doing here?”
Vania sneered at the condescension in Melanie’s voice. Melanie had a very different attitude when they met earlier today at the former’s company. She marveled at how quickly Melanie’s swelling had gone down.
Vanie snorted coldly, “What does my business here have to do with you, Miss Greyson?”
Melanie recalled the humiliation when she had to apologize to Vania, and her voice began to color with fury. “I don’t care what you’re doing here, but I’m warning you, I worked very hard to get Master Mia to give me an appointment today, so you better not mess things up for me. If you do, then I’ll surely make you pay!”
However, Vania paid no attention to the other woman as she stated plainly, “Why would I bother myself with your matters?”
Melanie griuted her teeth and reined in her emotions as she did not want to lose her composure right here in Mia’s office. She saw the smug look on Vania’s face and muttered, “You better mean what you say and don’t get in my way.”
Vania took a step forward and said, “Be patient and wait. You’re bound to get your chance to meet Master Mia.”
As soon as she said that, Vania strode past Melanie and headed into the office. Melanie wanted to follow in after her, but the door slammed shut before she could
enter. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
What did Vania mean? Why does it feel like I won’t be able to see Master Mia today? I’ve been waiting for an entire day, so how much longer must I wait?
Melanie frowned and asked the assistant, “What’s going on? I thought you said that Master Mia was in an appointment with an important client? Why is it that she could go right in as soon as she arrived? Why did I have to wait? Are you guys discriminating against me? You’d better tell me right now—when will I get to see Master Mia?”
The assistant bowed her head in silence. It looked as if she had no response for Melanie, and it was almost as if they had indeed been discriminating against Melanie.
Melanie was even more enraged by the way the assistant was acting, so she blew up at her. “You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you? On whose orders? Who told you to make life difficult for me? Was it Vania, the woman who just went in? You better take a good look at me and see who I am! I’m Miss Greyson, the daughter of the Greysons, and I’m the mother of Hanson Luke’s children! How dare you treat me like this?! I can make you lose your jobs!” :
After throwing a spiteful glare at the assistant, Melanie threw caution to the wind and stormed into the office. At that point, she did not care about giving Mia Stravinsky a good impression anymore.
But the office was nearly empty. There was no sign of Mia in a meeting with an important client. Instead, all Melanie saw was Vania sitting behind the desk and staring at her like she was a fool.
