Chapter 305 Little Rabbit and Hedgehog
The roar of engines came from outside the car window. Quincy and Melanie both looked out, wondering who they had offended.
The driver, alert, swiftly turned the steering wheel and floored the accelerator, seizing the opportunity to turn the car onto another road. He drove at a lightning speed.
However, the car that had temporarily fallen behind refused to be outdone. It quickly caught up, not giving up on chasing them and was close to overtaking them.
Melanie gripped the handle above her head. With a focused gaze, finally saw that it was Jeffrey’s car.
She quickly told the driver, “Stop the car. I know them.”
The driver sighed in relief and slowed down. The car behind, as expected, overtook them smoothly and
blocked their way.
The car door opened quickly. Jeffrey got out and headed toward their car. To avoid revealing their relationship in front of Quincy and the driver, Melanie quickly got out of the car to meet him.
“Are you crazy?” she demanded in a low voice.
“You didn’t answer the phone, so I had to intercept you.” He sounded proud and helpless.
She had turned on silent mode on her phone during dinner, and she had no idea that he had called.
After calming down, she turned and walked to the side of the car. She told Quincy and the others to go first. Turning back, she followed Jeffrey to his car.
The sudden drop in temperature caused the puddles on the road to start to freeze. Melanie was initially walking with her head held high in her high heels, but inadvertently stepped into a puddle of freezing water.
She stumbled.
Fortunately, she had good control over high heels. She quickly regained her balance and stood firm. Almost simultaneously, Jeffrey had already taken a step forward, his long arms circling her body.
Melanie let out a sigh of relief. She tried to push him away, but Jeffrey insisted on holding her arm. “Do you have thorns all over your body? It’s difficult to walk on this road. Why struggle?”
“Then, President Morgan, I advise you to help the little white rabbit who won’t struggle! Don’t let me, someone covered in thorns, hurt her!” Melanie retorted without mercy.
Jeffrey looked at her sharp eyes, and asked in a soft voice, “Are you bothered?”
She pretended not to know. “Bothered by what?”
“Morgan Group and Romero Corporation have just signed a cooperation agreement. Luis took the opportunity to send his daughter to Harbor City for schooling and even showed me her architectural designs. Other than this, we don’t have any contact. I should have explained it beforehand.” Jeffrey was frank with her.
“Morgan Group and Romero Corporation have cooperated? So, Luis and Miss Romero are now patrons of

“How could that be? You can even afford to offend me.” Jeffrey’s voice was deep, carrying a trace of joy.
Melanie’s eyes sparkled brightly at these words, and most of her previous frustration dissipated. Jeffrey watched her eyes clear up, and the corners of his mouth subconsciously lifted.
As long as he was with her, even some utterly trivial topics became interesting. It was truly strange.
Ever since Cyrus hinted that he shouldn’t be held back by the past, he had figured out many things. The
woman in front of him was so vibrant, and he wanted to follow his heart.
As they walked to the car door together, Jeffrey suddenly thought of something and asked her. “When did you realize that Luis had other intentions tonight?”
“I’m not that stupid.” Melanie smiled, and replied. “But since you’ve asked me this question, does it mean you
approve of my plan tonight?”
She tilted her head up, staring into his eyes.
However, he said, “Your plan is basically correct, but there’s one thing you got wrong.”
“What is it?” she hurriedly asked.
“Who told you that I like innocent girls who don’t understand the world?” He suddenly took a big step toward her, his eyes locking onto her as they sparkled.
“What do you like, then?”
She regretted it as soon as the question left her mouth, because a tremendous ripple appeared in the man’s
eyes.
“What do you think?” His voice was low and incredibly sexy.
Feeling the powerful aura he emitted, Melanie subconsciously took a step back. She bumped into the car door.
She softly moaned.
Suddenly, a warmth enveloped her from behind. His large hand gripped her waist, and with some force, he pulled her toward him. They were less than an inch apart.
“I have a suite on the top floor of Sandfront Hotel,” he suggested.
Seeing that she didn’t respond, he chuckled softly, knowing that she tacitly agreed.
There was no need to get back in the car. Sandfront Hotel was just across the street. Jeffrey instantly took her hand, crossed the pedestrian crossing, entered the hotel elevator, and went straight to the top floor.
Ding!
The door of the presidential suite opened, and then closed.
The two stood close together. Facing each other, they suddenly felt a bit awkward.
Melanie, naturally, felt more uncomfortable. She took the opportunity to slip away. “Uh, I’ll go take a shower…”
