Chapter 334 Jeffrey’s Date
Very quickly, the office door opened, and Leo came in. He then nodded at the personal assistant who had opened the door for him, who walked out with a blushing face.
A form-fitting black coat and a white turtleneck sweater…
Leo was the only man whom Melanie had ever seen who could wear a combination of black and white so well. The one and only. It looked so natural on him, making him look like a male lead from some drama series. It was no wonder the young lady couldn’t handle him.
“Why are you here so late at night?”
Melanie asked with a smile as she personally poured out a glass of tea for Leo.
“How do you know I like tea?” Leo asked.
“Just a guess,” Melanie said with a smile.
Someone with such bad health probably wouldn’t be in the habit of drinking coffee, so she guessed that Leo
had a habit of drinking tea instead.
“Ahem… Thanks.”
Leo covered his mouth with his handkerchief. “But it’s fine. I’ll be leaving in a bit. I was planning to take you
out to dinner.”
“…”
Melanie had just wanted to speak when Leo gave her a gentlemanly smile and cut her off gently. “I’ve already
asked your colleagues on my way here. They said you’ve been busy the whole evening and haven’t had time
to eat dinner yet. Seeing that everything urgent is almost settled, you should delegate the tasks to them.”
“Haha…”
Melanie shook her head with a smile. “It’s your first time here at Jones Enterprise, yet you’ve already caught
the heart of all my female colleagues here? Color me impressed.”
“Is that a yes?” Leo smiled at her.
Melanie had no choice but to nod.
After packing up, she put on her coat and got into Leo’s car, leaving with him.
Leo took her to a classic restaurant that was built like a glass house by the shores. He was a VIP here, and so the waiter immediately took them to the best seat by the riverside.
After asking her about her favored foods, he then ordered a few of their signature dishes.
The night was dimly lit by the moon, and the riverside was lit up by the street lights and buildings by the side. It gave a mysterious feeling to the nightime scenery. Leo picked up his wine glass, and Melanie also followed suit, intending to toast him. She looked to the side and apparently saw something, and she almost hit the

“My apologies,” she said.
“What is it?”
Leo wasn’t sure what had happened.
Melanie shook her head and took a drink.
Her eyes couldn’t help but drift in that direction. They were seated at the outermost corner of the restaurant’s top floor, and they could see the other restaurants on the first floor beside them.
Where her eyes were looking, they could see the seats by the window of Cloud Nine Restaurant. And there, a man and woman were seated.
The man didn’t have much of an expression on his face.
The woman was smiling shyly.
Upon looking closer, she recognized that the man was Jeffrey, and the woman was the opposite of him…
Wasn’t that… The woman whose chest Jeffrey was staring at earlier today?
Melanie picked up her phone and quickly scrolled down to find the picture that Annie had sent her. She didn’t care that much about it earlier so didn’t pay it much attention. But now that she gave the woman’s face another look, she felt that the woman looked familiar!
She remembered seeing Jeffrey’s ex-girlfriend’s photo from Grace, and this woman… She looked so much like…
Melanie couldn’t help but gulp as she secretly frowned.
Even though she felt she looked like her… What would Jeffrey think?
The lively streets were instantly like another world to her. Though Leo was talking about something excitedly, her ears seemed to automatically ignore him. She simply nodded at whatever he said once in a while as she
ate the food on her plate, but couldn’t control herself from looking in the direction of Cloud Nine Restaurant…
“You’re looking at Mr. Morgan?”
Suddenly, Leo’s voice forced her out of her daze.
She looked and saw that Leo was also looking in the same direction. “It’s very rare to see any woman with him, and from this direction, that woman looks quite naive. That’s strange, that isn’t Mr. Romero’s daughter.”
…
Melanie worked hard to regain her composure and wiped her mouth with the napkin.
Leo asked, “Are you full?”
“Yeah.”
“Great. I’ll send you home then,” Leo said, getting up like a gentleman and then holding her chair for her.
She thanked him and said, “Send me back to Jones Enterprise then.”

“You’re still going back to the company for work?” Leo asked.
Melanie nodded. “Things have been getting quite busy lately.”
Even if she wasn’t busy, she didn’t want Leo to know that she lived with Jeffrey.
The rain stopped.
The two of them went downstairs. The moment that they had just got into the car and put on their safety belts they then saw Jeffrey and the female staff get out of the restaurant and get into his car.
Melanie looked away, as if she didn’t care.
Meanwhile, Leo smiled curiously. “I heard gossip regarding Mr. Morgan today. But to think that I’m able to se him dating another woman with my own eyes… I wonder where they’re going so late at night?”
