Chapter 1230
He knew that it was a Hongmen Banquet, so he should not have gone.
However, because of Margaret Swanson, and Ken Swanson also knew that Melody Fox had no choice but to go.
If Melody Fox did not go after breaching the contract, Le Qing would say a few words in front of Margaret Swanson…
No matter how satisfied Margaret Swanson was with Melody Fox, there was a chance that she would have some opinions about Melody Fox.
Since there was no turning back, she might as well accompany her.
Melody Fox immediately refused.
“You don’t have to come with me.”
“Why?”
“What will come will come. Besides… do you think that I can’t even deal with Le Qing?”
If she could not even deal with Le Qing, how could she avenge herself and take revenge on Ulric Swanson?
“Of course, I believe in your abilities. It’s just that… I can’t help but worry about you.”
Ken Swanson’s eyes were filled with worry. Seeing this, Melody Fox’s heart softened.
She couldn’t help but rub Ken Swanson’s somewhat stiff hair and say, “I know you’re worried about me. I promise you that if something happens that I can’t handle, I’ll call you immediately.”
“Then swear.”
Melody Fox lowered her eyes and laughed. She raised his finger. “I swear.”
Only then did Ken Swanson feel slightly relieved.
However, he did have to return to the headquarters for a meeting tomorrow. It would be quite difficult for him to take a leave.
“Then I’ll send James Deeds with you. I’ve been keeping him at Ximber Tech recently. He’s probably so bored that he’s about to grow moldy mushrooms.”
Melody Fox shrugged. “Anything is fine. Actually, I’ll just bring Seventeen along.”
Ken Swanson directly called James Deeds. “Return to the manor tomorrow morning and wait for orders. Tomorrow, follow Melody.”
“Yes!”
Through the phone, Melody Fox could feel James Deeds’s excitement.
She couldn’t help but feel strange.
No matter if it was Seventeen or James Deeds, they did not like to be idle. They preferred to be busy?
But then again, if she was left idle, she would probably grow mushrooms too.
After 30 minutes, the car arrived at the entrance of Herbathrive.
At this time, Herbathrive was already cleaning up.
Seeing Melody Fox appear, everyone instantly stopped what they were doing.
“Miss Fox! You’re finally back!”
David Marrow and Nana Jensen were the first to run up.
However, when they saw Ken Swanson Fox standing behind her, they immediately retracted their excitement and became cautious.
Ken Swanson looked down and knew that he was uncomfortable with them, so he took the initiative to say to Melody Fox, “I’ll wait for you in the car. We’ll have a video conference in the car. We’ll discuss some details with Sid Quant.”
Melody Fox helplessly gave Ken Swanson a “you’ve been wronged” emoji and watched Ken Swanson leave.
She shook her head inwardly.
Indeed, it was not a good thing to have a strong aura.
Ken Swanson’s aura was too strong. Even if David Marrow and the others knew about Ken Swanson’s relationship with her, they could not break through that invisible thin layer of ice.
However, as time passed, Melody Fox believed that Ken Swanson would slowly become more and more humane. Melody Fox retracted her gaze. When she turned around, she realized that she was surrounded by Herbathrive’s people.
Everyone was talking about how much they missed her. “Miss Fox, you’re finally back. You don’t know that when you weren’t around, we spent our days counting on our fingers.” “Yes, I always feel empty when you’re not around. I’m often worried that something will happen in the clinic. Fortunately, I came over smoothly. I didn’t let you down.”
“Sister Melody, why didn’t you tell us earlier that you were coming back? We could have held a welcoming banquet for you!”
Melody Fox smiled and said, “If I had told you earlier, would you still be in the mood to work?”
“…That seems to make sense.”
“It’s not too late to hold a celebratory feast now! Let’s go to the KTV to sing, Sister Melody! We haven’t relaxed for a long time.”
Melody Fox thought for a moment and said, “Alright, but Ken Swanson will come with me. You don’t mind, right?”
Everyone subconsciously fell silent, but they quickly shook their heads. “I don’t mind, I don’t mind!”
“However, if we accidentally say something wrong, will Mr. Swanson directly chop off my head?”
Melody Fox did not know whether to laugh or cry.
“How much do you misunderstand him? He’s not as scary as you think. On the contrary, he’s actually quite easy to talk to. As long as you don’t cross his bottom line, he won’t argue with you at all.”
Everyone looked at Melody Fox in a daze with an expression that said, “That’s just for you.”
Melody Fox looked helpless, but he was even more determined to bring Ken Swanson along.
“In short, you’ll know when you get to know him. He’s really not as scary as you think. He’s just an ordinary person.”
[David Marrow: Do you want to see what you’re talking about?]
He was a real ordinary person, right??
.Alright.” Melody Fox corrected himself. “Even if it’s not
that ordinary, it’s not as different as you think. You’ll know once you interact with it.”
David Marrow asked again, “Then if we’re not careful…”
Nana Jensen pinched the flesh on David Marrow’s arm and said, “David Marrow, just shut up! I used to be classmates with Mr. Swanson. Why don’t I see you being so afraid of me? Anyway, Sister Melody is right. Mr. Swanson is not as scary as everyone thinks. You’ll know later.”
David Marrow nodded. “That’s true. With Miss Fox around, even if we accidentally make a mistake, I don’t think Mr. Swanson will blame us.”
Melody Fox’s existence was like a stabilizing force. Everyone was slightly relieved.
Seeing that no one disagreed with Ken Swanson joining, Melody Fox told everyone to clean up Herbathrive and close the door.
“I’ll go to the car and tell Ken Swanson to look for the KTV. I’ll send you the address when I reach when we decide on the place. Come over after you close the door.”
“Alright!”
Melody Fox waved at everyone. She quickly walked out of Herbathrive and met Nana Jensen’s mother, Momma Talia. Miss Fox!
Momma Talia had just arrived. When she saw Melody Fox, her eyes were filled with surprise.
“You’re back!”
Melody Fox nodded and asked about the progress of the Frozen pasta that they had worked together on.
“The business process has been completed and is in production. We’re just waiting for you to come back.”
“Wait for me to come back? Didn’t I already give you all the authority?”
Momma Talia smiled and said, “I’m just here to help. It’s better for you to hold the press conference yourself. After the press conference, you can officially invest in the sales of the various super merchants.”
“Does that mean we’re only one step away from the press conference?”
“Yes. It’s been a while since pasta came out. The popularity has actually mostly dissipated, so we have to hold a press conference to re-create the popularity and let everyone remember that there’s such a delicacy.”
Melody Fox nodded. “Alright, I understand. You guys discuss it and set a date. We’ll hold a press conference together.”
