Chapter 709
The security guards were shocked by Stella’s arrogance.
They thought Stella was related to Wilmot. However, they immediately walked forward and forcefully dragged Stella out when they heard Wilmot’s words.
“Let go of me! Don’t touch me!” Stella shouted.
Stella struggled with all her might, but the security guards did not care. Since Wilmot had spoken, they had no reason to let Stella cause trouble in the company’s lobby.
Soon, Stella’s voice disappeared from the company, and the lobby finally returned to normal.
Wilmot retracted his gaze and looked at Melody awkwardly. “Are you alright?”
Melody shook her head.
“It looks like I came at the wrong time today. But… what’s the relationship between you and Miss Lynch?”
Wilmot sighed and said, “Let’s go up and talk. This is not the place to talk.”
Melody responded and followed Wilmot to the office on the top floor.
To Melody’s surprise, Wilmot’s office was like a warehouse. It was filled with all kinds of fashion magazines and beauty magazines, as well as various opened or unopened cosmetics. It was a big office, but there were only a few square feet to step on.
“I’m sorry. My office is a little messy. Feel free to sit.”
Melody nodded and pulled out a chair from a corner to sit down.
Wilmot quickly poured a cup of coffee and handed it to Melody. He did not hide anything and said, “The company is busy with the latest skincare products. I have limited time to look after Shane, so I called my mother to help me.” “Hmm…” Melody listened patiently.
“My mother lives in Insterimond all year round. She brought her neighbor, Miss Lynch, along on this trip. I only met Miss Lynch yesterday.”
“Your mother wants to set you up with Miss Lynch?”
Yolanda scratched his neck and nodded awkwardly. “That’s right.”
Melody nodded in understanding and asked, “Then, what do you think?”
Wilmot lowered his head and said with a complicated expression, “My mother said she’s old and can’t always be by Shane’s side to take care of him. I might as well find a wife to look after Shane instead of neglecting Shane’s school and meals like I do now. Moreover, Miss Lynch is also divorced. Her child was awarded to her ex-husband, and she has no plan to have another child. I don’t have to worry she’ll mistreat Shane…”
When Melody heard that, she could not help but interrupt Wilmot. “I mean your thoughts. Putting aside Shane, your thoughts about Miss Lynch.”
Wilmot’s eyes were blank for a moment.
Melody couldn’t help but ask the question. “A long marriage must be based on two people having feelings for each other. If you only want to find someone to look after Shane, you might as well find a few more nannies instead of a wife. I don’t think Shane will approve of you sacrificing your marriage for him if he knows what you are thinking. Moreover, this is unfair to Miss Lynch.”
Wilmot pursed his lips and said, “I’ve considered all the problems you mentioned. But Miss Lynch… You saw her just now. She’s really… indescribable.”
Melody spread her hands and said, “I don’t have any opinions about her. The final decision is still up to you. But forgive me for being blunt. With her personality, even if she doesn’t treat Shane harshly, her help to Shane’s personality later might not be beneficial. Of course, if you like her after you get along with her for a long time in the future, forget what I said.”
“I know what you mean. You’re doing this for Shane’s sake.
By the way, are you getting along with Mr. Swanson?” Melody stopped drinking coffee and said vaguely, “It’s alright. He’s not a bad person, and he’s not as cruel as everyone thinks. On the contrary, he treats me quite well.” The light in Wilmot’s eyes instantly dimmed.
However, he smiled soon and asked, “What brings you here today?”
“Didn’t I always ask you to manage Silk Beauty Cosmetics? I know a friend now. He’s an expert in managing businesses. He’s professional and reliable. I want to hand Silk Beauty Cosmetics to him to manage so that it won’t take up your time.”
“No problem, of course… I’ll send all the information about Silk Beauty to your email later.”
“Okay! Thank you for taking care of it for me for so long. I’ ve troubled you.”
Wilmot frowned. “Melody, we don’t need to say thanks between us. It makes us seem distant.”
“I know… but I still want to thank you.”
Wilmot could not help but smile. “Alright, I accept.”
The atmosphere gradually became relaxed as Melody and Wilmot chatted about Shane.
Melody suddenly thought of Zara and quickly requested Wilmot.
“The remuneration is negotiable. Name your price. I don’t know if you have time. If you don’t…”
Wilmot interrupted her and asked, “When is the shooting of the variety show?”
“Next month.”
“That’s about twenty days away. We’ll have our new series
on the market by then. I should have time.”
“I will inform you of the specific time then.”
“Okay.”
Number Spencer, standing behind Melody, could not help but feel speechless.
He had heard of Wilmot’s name although he knew nothing about makeup.
Wilmot was an internationally renowned makeup artist and stylist. It was hard for others to ask for his help once, but Melody actually made him agree with just a few words.
It seemed that Spencer’s understanding of Melody was still too little.
For example, Spencer went to the bathroom because of a sudden stomachache at Blue Moon Lounge today. When he returned, he saw a group of people sprawled on the ground. Melody’s skills were not inferior to his, judging by their injuries.
Spencer could not help but be curious, ‘Who on earth is Miss Fox? Is she just the daughter of the Fox family raised in the countryside like the rumors said?’
However, Spencer did not continue to think about it. The death warriors did not need to think about that. They only needed to be loyal to their master.
Since Ken had assigned him to Melody, Melody was his master.
*****
Melody said goodbye to Wilmot and walked to the door, only to find that Stella was still cursing at the door.
Upon seeing Melody come out, Stella instantly became more energetic.
“Bitch! You seduced my fiancé. Don’t you have any shame?” Melody began to worry for Wilmot.
‘If he marries such a woman, he will probably be doomed… Moreover, Wilmota is a nice guy. He will not divorce Stella over such a small matter. With his personality, he will probably keep putting up with her. If that happens, it will be troublesome. I do not know why Linda will take a fancy to Stella and let her marry Wilmot,’ thought Melody.
Melody turned a blind eye and continued to walk out.
However, Stella did not give up. She took a few steps forward and blocked Melody’s path.
