Chapter 708
This was like a double-edged sword. Until the end, no one knew who the true winner would be.
Ken pondered for a moment and said, “Ulric will probably be released soon. I’ll send a few more death warriors to stay by your side and protect you at all times.”
“Okay.” Melody did not refuse. From the looks of it, it was impossible for her to fight alone. She indeed needed the power of death warriors.
When Ken heard that she agreed, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Ken asked, “Where are you now? I heard from Moon that Sabrina went to Blue Moon Lounge to find trouble with you.” Melody replied, “I’m fine now. I just sent David home. I’m going to look for Wilmot to take over Silk Beauty Cosmetics.” At the mention of Wilmot, Ken’s voice changed slightly.” When? I’ll accompany you.”
“Aren’t you busy? There’s no need to come over. I’ll be back to the manor soon.”
Ken was silent for a few seconds before he said, “Then get Spencer to follow you closely. If Sabrina causes trouble for you again, I’ll directly cancel their collaboration with the Swanson Group.”
“Okay.” Melody hung up and said to Spencer, “Go to Icy Clear Cosmetics.”
Spencer replied, “Yes.”
About an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of Icy Clear Cosmetics.
Melody did not go in alone. Instead, after Spencer parked the car, the two of them entered Icy Clear Cosmetics’s building.
In times of emergency, Melody had to abandon the previous notion that she could handle everything alone.
She only had one life, but God had given her a chance to be reborn. She had to cherish it even more.
Melody also gradually discovered that when she realized she had feelings for Ken, she cherished her life more than before.
As soon as Melody and Spencer entered, the receptionist immediately welcomed them with a smile. “Miss Fox? Why are you free to come over today?”
“Yes.” Melody nodded and asked, “Is Wilmot here?”
“Mr. Sherman is here. I’ll take you upstairs.”
“Thanks a lot.”
“It’s my duty.” The receptionist’s attitude was extremely polite.
Melody won the bet for Icy Clear Cosmetics. She was like the benefactor of all the employees in Icy Clear Cosmetics. She saved them from suddenly losing their jobs, so all the employees in the company were grateful to her.
However, just as Melody was about to follow the receptionist, a woman stepped forward and stopped Melody.
Melody looked at the unfamiliar woman in front of her in confusion and asked, “Who are you?”
However, the woman only glanced at her and turned her head away disdainfully. She turned around and questioned the receptionist who was leading the way, “Why can she go upstairs without an appointment, but I can’t? I already said that I know Wilmot. We even had dinner together yesterday.” The receptionist frowned and said, “You’re different. Please don’t interfere with my work. Otherwise, I’ll have to call security to invite you out.”
The woman immediately became even more dissatisfied. What’s different about us? Is it because she’s uglier than me?”
As the woman spoke, her sarcastic eyes swept towards Melody again. When the woman saw that nothing on Melody was branded, the disdain in her eyes intensified. The innocent Melody was speechless.
The woman spoke again. “In short, either you let me go upstairs too, or she can forget about going upstairs.”
The receptionist was also furious. “You’re being unreasonable. Miss Fox must have something serious to discuss with Mr. Sherman. If you delay Mr. Sherman’s business-“
“Pfft!” The woman spat on the ground without listening to the receptionist. “What business can a person like her have? She must be trying to seduce Wilmot. Why don’t you look in the mirror and see what you look like? You want to snatch my man? Dream on.”
The corners of Melody’s mouth twitched. She could not be bothered to argue with such a person here. She directly called Wilmot.
Wilmot answered almost instantly. He sounded pleasantly surprised. “Melody?”
Melody sighed and went straight to the point. “I’m downstairs in your company and I’m in some trouble. Do you have time to come downstairs and pick me up?”
Wilmot bluntly said, “I’ll be right there.” Then, he hurriedly hung up the phone and said to the higher-ups in the meeting room, “I have something to do and have to go outside for a while. You guys continue.”
With that, Wilmot stood up and left the meeting room, leaving the higher-ups staring at each other.
A senior executive couldn’t help but ask, “Isn’t today’s preparatory meeting for the new product launch very important? What can be more important than the meeting?”
A higher-up beside him said in a low voice, “Haven’t you heard of the news? I heard that Mr. Sherman went on a blind date yesterday. Moreover, the voice on the phone sounded like a woman. Perhaps he has gone to find his blind date.”
“Oh? Is Mr. Sherman finally getting married again? This is a joyous occasion.”
“That’s right. When he gets married, he might even give us a few days off.”
The meeting room was filled with joy.
However, at this moment, the atmosphere in the lobby downstairs was extremely tense.
When the woman heard that Melody had actually called Wilmot, her eyes were like venomous snakes as she glared at Melody and questioned her, “Where did you get Wilmot’s number?”
“This doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you.”
Melody smiled. She did not have a good impression of this woman.
She had just heard from the receptionist that this was Wilmot’s blind date.
Although Wilmot’s choice had nothing to do with her, she was not at ease letting such a person be Shane’s stepmother.
However, when the woman saw Melody’s attitude, she immediately flew into a rage. “I’ll be Wilmot’s wife in the future. How is that unrelated to me? Temptress! Delete his phone number immediately.”
Melody had never seen such a rude and unreasonable person. She was clearly pretty, but her words were so vulgar.
Melody said, “I’m sorry, that’s impossible.”
“Bitch, you…” The woman was about to curse when she suddenly saw Wilmot walk out of the elevator from the corner of her eye.
She immediately changed her expression and revealed an aggrieved expression. She took a few steps forward to welcome Wilmot. “Wilmot, that woman bullied me.”
Wilmot looked at the woman in front of him in surprise.” Miss Lynch? Why are you here?”
Stella Lynch’s eyes were red as she said aggrievedly, “I came to see you, but your company’s receptionist refused to let me go upstairs. Instead, she let that woman who bullied me go upstairs.” Stella pointed at Melody.
Melody was even more speechless. She was not afraid that Wilmot would misunderstand her. She took a few steps forward and said, “It’s not what she said. The receptionist is just following the rules.”
Stella stomped her foot and tugged at the hem of Wilmot’s shirt. “Wilmot, look. She’s deliberately distorting the truth to smear my reputation.”
Wilmot frowned. “Melody isn’t the kind of person you think she is. You must have misunderstood. I’m very busy today. You should go back.”
Stella’s eyes widened in surprise. “Would you rather believe her than me? I’m afraid Mrs. Sherman won’t be happy if she finds out, will she?”
Wilmot’s expression changed slightly. He said in a low voice, “Miss Lynch, this is the company, not a place for you to mess around.”
As he spoke, he called for the security guard. “Invite Miss Lynch out.”
