Chapter 307 Checking on President Morgan
“What’s the matter?” Melanie asked. “Is there something wrong?”
“Is this fragrance really completely handmade?” Cyrus couldn’t help but bring it closer, sniffing it carefully.
“I told you; you’d be interested! I had the same reaction when I first saw the fragrance sachet.” Melanie explained. “There are only four houses and a courtyard on the mountain. Occasionally, there are wild animals. The old lady doesn’t have professional tools. She did it purely with her own skills.”
“Her skill in blending scents is probably no weaker than mine.” Cyrus sighed. “Such a talented person living in seclusion in the mountains is truly a waste…”
“Not necessarily.”
Melanie disagreed with Cyrus’s view. “She uses her skills to provide for her two children, and the family lives happily. Having talent doesn’t necessarily mean achieving fame and success.”
Cyrus nodded in agreement.
“When I left, I told her that I’d send her a set of professional tools to make it easier for her to create more and better fragrance sachets. If she has the talent for blending scents, maybe I’ll send her another set of blending tools, just for her to try and cultivate her artistic sentiment,” Melanie added.
Cyrus nodded again. “You’re right. I happen to have a new set of professional tools that someone else gave me. Since I have no use for them, I’ll just give them to her.”
“Okay. Then I’ll thank you on behalf of her.” Melanie smiled.
Melanie shared the news of the successful blending of “Siberian Butterfly” in the perfume industry’s internal network, intending to create some buzz. Unexpectedly, she got a lot of attention.
Even some of Cyrus’s prestigious friends were eager to inquire about the ingredients of this perfume. Cyrus only disclosed a few components and briefly explained Melanie’s background and concept in scent blending.
They became even more interested, requesting samples from Cyrus to experience it firsthand.
Throughout the day, Melanie stayed with Cyrus at Jones Enterprise, taking advantage of the curiosity of her peers to promote the upcoming “Siberian Butterfly.”
In the evening, she accompanied Cyrus for dinner and then hurriedly saw him off from Harbor City. It was only then that she checked her phone and found two missed calls from Jeffrey.
She called back, and William answered.
“Is Jeffrey still busy?” she asked.
“Yes, Mrs. Morgan. The president is in a meeting. He hasn’t rested all day. There are still two tricky project issues to be resolved in this meeting. He probably won’t get any sleep tonight…” William complained on behalf of Jeffrey.

“Did he have dinner?” Melanie was genuinely concerned.
“When the president is busy, he completely forgets about eating,” William said.
“Alright, you go back to work.”
Melanie finished the call, and decided she couldn’t just go home and sleep. Thinking about her full stomach and the hungry man on the other side, she felt restless. So, she picked up her phone and dialed a number.
Twenty minutes later, Melanie appeared on the top floor of Morgan Group.
Seeing her arrival, the staff from the assistant department greeted her while hurriedly summoning William. William, seeing Melanie, looked panicked.
“Mrs. Morgan, why are you here?”
“I came to find Jeffrey.”
Melanie looked at the closed door of Jeffrey’s office, her tone calm. She observed William’s expression, feeling that something was off. The expressions of all the assistants behind William didn’t seem right, either.
William concealed his emotions, showing a respectful attitude. “Mrs. Morgan, President Morgan is still in a
meeting inside. Please wait in the guest room over there.”
Melanie smiled and nodded.
She sat in the guest room, took out her phone, and looked at the menu of the restaurant that she had just ordered food from for Jeffrey. Meanwhile, she thought about the awkwardness that William couldn’t hide.
It was her first time visiting the corporation to see Jeffrey, so the assistants’ surprise could be understood. However, they were in a panic. That was fishy…
She pretended to be busy on her phone. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed William rushing into Jeffrey’s office. In less than a minute, William came out and glanced at the guest room. Melanie pretended not to notice his suspicious movements, and waited patiently..
After two more minutes, there was some commotion at the side door of Jeffrey’s office.
Melanie, without making a sound, took out her makeup mirror from her bag and positioned it.
She suddenly felt a chill. A woman walked out of Jeffrey’s office-Isla!
