Chapter 366 Outwitted by That Woman
Harlow’s subordinate came over, and looked through the gap below the door. He found no one, and began pushing against the door. However, he was unable to push it open after trying a few times.
“Mr. York this…”
His subordinate turned back to ask if he should continue.
Harlow said with a wave of his hand, “Forget it. We won’t bother each other, Let’s leaver
With that, the opening and closing of another door sounded. Their footsteps vanished in the distance.
“Don’t think about other men while in my arms.”
Jeffrey’s low voice broke the silence in the washroom.
Melanie snapped back to attention, only to find her arms wrapped around his neck as she leaned against his
chest and clung into his torso.
She leaped off from his embrace so quickly that Jeffrey tightened his arms around her out of fright.
“Slow down!”
“Shh!”
Melanie looked at the door cautiously, worried that the sound of the door opening and closing from outside was a ruse and that Harlow was still outside.
“Don’t worry. They’ve left for sure.”
Jeffrey stood up from the toilet bowl. “Everyone who comes here is either rich or powerful. It’s not good if he were to hear our secrets. Anyway, he didn’t reveal anything critical just now, and there’s no need to silence
him.”
Jeffrey couldn’t take his eyes off her.
Although this washroom was considered spacious, it was just a washroom after all.
They were standing in close proximity to avoid the toilet. Melanie was wearing a smart business suit today. Her A-line skirt wrapped tightly around her perfect figure and accentuated her svelte waist, which served to
distract Jeffrey.
He was mesmerized by her when she was on stage, focusing on perfume blending. He knew she was beautiful when she was concentrating on something, but he was blown away by her onstage.
They had been fighting a cold war for days, and he had no chance to be alone with her, not to mention be intimate with her. His heart was itching so badly for her!
No longer wanting to hold his desires back, his eyes narrowed as he pulled her into his embrace.
“Hey!”

Melanie was shocked and instinctively struggled against his hold, but she didn’t want to kick up too big a fuss.
She had a slender waist, and Jeffrey could almost wrap around it with one arm. The familiar feeling of her in his arms once more made his heart beat faster. He couldn’t bear to let her go…
Melanie, however, couldn’t let this go on any further!
She made up her mind and held her stomach with her hand, groaning painfully.
Jeffrey immediately straightened up and let her go. Panicked, he asked, “What’s the matter? Do you have a
stomachache?”
Melanie’s eyes flashed. She grabbed his shoulder, and bit it hard.
“Ugh!”
She seized the moment while he was in a daze to shove him aside and rush out of the washroom.
Hah…
Jeffrey chuckled helplessly as he watched her flee in a haste. He was just entertaining wicked thoughts one moment, and then fooled by her the next.
He was adept at dealing with the most scrupulous businessman, yet was unable to handle one woman.
Seriously…
Jeffrey straightened out his clothes and walked out of the washroom, still feeling the pain Melanie left on his
shoulder.
He looked sideways, and called the bodyguards of Morgan Group who were guarding right outside the washroom. “Take care of those two around the corner of the washroom. Don’t give them a chance to shoot their mouths off.”
“Yes, President Morgan!”
Melanie returned to the banquet hall, and didn’t expect to see the event still ongoing because of her four perfumes.
Everyone was busy discussing the perfumes she blended. Gabriel and Leo were surrounded by hordes of people fighting to have a whiff of the perfumes in their hands.
She even heard many people discussing amongst themselves.
“In the perfume she blended for Mr. Lindsey, white, red and Biljaria roses. That’s a clear expression of love!”
“I could sense the clash between control and impulse in the perfume. Although she didn’t make it clear in her explanation, I’m sure they share a special relationship!”
“I even heard there’s something going on between her and President Morgan, but I didn’t feel any romance in the perfume she blended for him—-

Melanie pursed her lips. She didn’t want to listen to these meaningless 904sin and baseless guesses.
She left after hanging around for a short round. She was sure Joseph York arranged for her to be here for what happened Just now. Now that she had served her purpose, it was time for her to leave.
She hadn’t yet recovered from yesterday, and had to accompany Annie to check on her leg tomorrow,
The next morning, Melanie accompanied Annie to the hospital after her breakfast.
They didn’t expect to see the orthopedic department of the hospital bursting at the seams with people queuing up to see the doctor. Even the seats at the waiting area were all taken.
“Are hospitals in Medonia so popular?”
Melanie was shocked by the scene before her, a familiar feeling that reminded her of her native country coming back to her.
“Perhaps things haven’t been going smoothly for many people this year, and many of them ended up injured?”
Annie tried to hide the guilt gnawing in her heart as she looked down at her phone. She pressed her lips together, and said, “Seems like we might have to wait for over an hour… Coincidentally, the internal medicine department is right opposite. You should get your gastric issues checked out.”
Melanie shook her head, but Annie stubbornly shoved her forward.
“Go on, we’re already here. Since we have to wait anyway and there’s no one over there, take it as you’re helping me pass time and let me accompany you to see the doctor.”
Melanie hesitated. Although her gastric issues seemed to have eased over the past two days, she occasionally had acid reflux. She pondered for a moment before agreeing to Annie’s suggestion.
There were no queues at the internal medicine department. Melanie filled out a form with her personal information and handed it over to the doctor, who asked her, “What symptoms are you experiencing?”
“Poor appetite and acid reflux,” Melanie said.
“She’s also been vomiting. Just a few days ago, she puked everything she ate,” Annie added.
The doctor looked up at Melanie and asked, “Are you in your gestation period?”
“No,” Melanie replied with certainty.
“When did you have your last period?” The doctor asked another question.
Melanie thought back on her last period and her eyes widened in shock. It had been more than a month since her last period…
