Chapter 351 He Likes You
Jeffrey had never been kicked out before, especially not on his turf in Harbor City. Since becoming Jeffrey’s assistant, William had never experienced anything like this before either. He was angry and embarrassed, but there was no other emotion on Jeffrey’s face except a hint of melancholy.
“President Morgan, the sales department just reported that Jane has returned to work…”
William broke the silence in a timely manner, not wanting Jeffrey to sink into a low mood.
“Should we notify her to resign?”
“No.”
Jeffrey raised his eyes, and there was finally a hint of sharpness in his gaze. “Let her stay. She’s just bait, and
can be used positively or negatively.”
“I understand.” William nodded. “What about Mrs. Morgan?”
“Assign someone to keep an eye on her and report everything to me. Be meticulous.” Jeffrey’s brow furrowed again.
Half an hour later, just as Jeffrey’s car arrived at Morgan Group’s parking lot, William received a call and his expression turned serious.
“President, the people we just sent have been exposed.”
William said helplessly. “The private detective from Snow Group went too far. They caught our men, claiming it was improper surveillance and sent them to the police station.”
Jeffrey pursed his lips. The Snows in Harbor City were known for having skilled detectives and fighters. Although his people were embarrassed, he was reassured that the Snows were protecting Melanie.
“Ask those that are not exposed yet to be more vigilant. Don’t follow her too closely. I just need to know her movements.” Jeffrey stepped back.
Jeffrey kept stepping back.
*President Morgan’s attitude toward wrongdoing is worth learning,” William thought.
Melanie endured her discomfort and ate a little. However, Annie was still worried and wanted to take her to the
hospital.
Melanie shook her head. “I’ve almost recovered from the cold. As for the vomiting, it’s due to my poor health and bad mood. Low spirits can cause excessive stomach acid, leading to nausea. I know my body. There’s no
need to go to the hospital”
Annie looked helplessly at her. She knew Melanie had been weak ever since she was a child, so she had
become adept in these matters.

“Alright then, I’ll take you home. Home is more comfortable than the office, after all.”
“Before that, accompany me to Jeffrey’s house,” Melanie said as she sat up straight.
Annie was afraid she was making a mistake. “Why are you going back there?”
“Elder Gibson invited me to participate in the international perfume blending competition in Medonia. I plan to go there tomorrow. I can relax by leaving here. I just want to pack my things and move out,” Melanie said.
“Alright, then I’ll accompany you.”
Now Annie felt relieved. She helped Melanie change her clothes and took her to Marina Heights. “I’ll accompany you to pack and to Medonia.”
“No need. I’ll be mostly working on fragrances there. I won’t have time to accompany you.”
Melanie knew that Annie was worried about her.
“I’m a grown-up. I can entertain myself!” Annie insisted. “If you don’t let me accompany you, how can I feel at ease?”
“Okay, then you can go there and play and shop as much as you want. I’ll reimburse you for everything.” Melanie smiled affectionately.
Annie smiled back. “You’re the best!”
Annie drove Melanie back to Marina Heights. Two private detectives’ cars followed behind them, luring
Jeffrey’s men away. Only after Melanie left Marina Heights with her luggage did Jeffrey receive news that she
had gone home.
He rushed back to his car, and coincidentally saw her car leaving. They brushed past each other.
The next day, Melanie and Annie flew to Medonia together. As they settled into their seats, someone lightly tapped Melanie’s shoulder from behind.
She turned her head, surprised. “Gabriel?”
“I didn’t expect you to be as eager as me, going to Medonia so early to prepare for the Perfume Blending Competition?” Gabriel smiled.
Melanie pursed her lips, changing the subject. “I didn’t know that you were in Harbor City.”
“I haven’t been here for long, just suddenly got inspired and came to Harbor City to find some local ingredients
to take back.” Gabriel smiled, observing her. “You don’t look too good. Are you sick?”
“Just a slight cold,” she replied.
Gabriel nodded, turning to both her and Annie. “Then let’s switch seats. It’s quieter on my side, and you can sleep better at night.”
Without waiting for them to respond, Gabriel instructed his assistant to help the two ladies move to the window seats on his side, while he moved to the middle aisle with his assistant.

“What about you?” Melanie asked.
Gabriel tilted his head to the side, revealing the transparent hearing aid in his ear. “As long as I take this off,
nothing can disturb me.”
Melanie smiled knowingly. He had made a self-deprecating comment, so she had no choice but to accept it.
After settling into their new seats, Annie couldn’t help but lean close to Melanie and whispered, “This Gabriel isn’t as difficult to get along with as the rumors say. Or is it because he likes you?”
