I Became His Sweetheart

Chapter 337 Heart to Heart

Even when Melanie still had loads of questions in her mind, she had no chance to ask him any of them. That was because he could sense the man’s passion and sincerity, and she easily drowned in his overwhelming

love...

Late at night, the tired man and woman embraced each other in Jeffrey’s office, covered by a thin blanket. It was starting to rain again outside, and the office returned to relative quietness. It was very suitable for a heart to heart.

Melanie, still remembering her nervousness from before this, decided to start first.

“Ahem,” she cleared her throat.

Jeffrey pulled her hair back to her ears and said, “Should | raise the temperature?”

“| have something that I want to ask you. Get serious.”

Melanie made herself look more imposing and the man behind her nodded, rubbing his chin on her head. “Everyone in the meeting room is still waiting for you, right? Don’t tell me they’re still waiting?” She asked. “That’s what you want to ask?”

Jeffrey tried not to laugh. “They’re no fools. William will take care of them.”

“If | don’t come look for you, will you tell me about it?” She started her interrogation.

“| won't.”

“Why?”

“Because | don’t have the whole picture as well. If | tell you right now, you'll just start making things up in your mind. I'll tell you after a few days.” He was being honest, at least.

“Me? Make things up?” she asked.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

“Look at yourself right now. This is what happens when you make things up in your head.”

“If you know that I'll start to make things up, why didn’t you maintain your distance with her?” Melanie used this opportunity to take her point across.

Jeffrey nodded again sincerely. “You're right. I’m getting ahead of myself. There won’t be a next time.” “There’s going to be a next time?”

“There won't be.”

“If there really is a next time, please tell me directly,” Melanie said, also being serious. “If you don’t tell me, someone with ulterior motives will. Just like this time.”

“Huh?”

Jeffrey raised his thick brow suspiciously.

“Earlier, from the moment you took her to dinner to the moment you sent that employee home, Leo took me to see all of it.” Melanie said directly.

Jeffrey was speechless.

He narrowed his eyes. He had thought of a few suspicious people in his mind, but he didn’t expect that Leo would be involved as well. He frowned even deeper.

“Did you find out anything tonight?” Melanie asked curiously.

“| already have her information in hand, but there’s nothing wrong with it. That's the reason | decided to take her into my car and send her home. Her background is too perfect, too clean. It’s like someone has already prepared everything for her and erased every dark spot in her background, and is not afraid of me investigating her...”

“Show it to me.” Melanie wanted to see the information, but the man held her from behind and said, “Don’t leave. It’s cold.”

She lowered her head and saw her naked body outside of the blanket, then got back into his arms while blushing. “I'll read it tomorrow morning, then.”

“Sure.”

Melanie pouted and couldn’t help but ask, “Then, what if she still appears frequently in front of you? What if she makes herself look even more suspicious? Are you still going to treat her to dinner and take her home?”

Every time he felt that the woman cared about him, Jeffrey would feel the itchiness in his heart. He placed his palm on her head and ruffled her hair.

“No. If she does make it even more intentional, I'll let you ask her out for dinner. How does that sound?” Jeffrey wanted Melanie to calm down about it.

Melanie laughed. “I won't. I’m not a rich idiot. Why would | take someone who | don’t know out for dinner?” Jeffrey was speechless. He then raised his eye at her as he realized that she had just teased him. That woman’s mouth...

The next morning, Melanie got out of bed. Jeffrey was ordering William to prepare breakfast and get them

some clothes to change into.

Half an hour later, they were having breakfast while sitting face to face. Melanie put down the milk in her hand and took the documents that William handed her.

She muttered to herself as she read through the woman’s biography before putting it aside. “Her background is simple and she seems ordinary. She is someone naive and passive. That makes her perfect for you, as if someone has tailored her for your needs and wants.”

Jeffrey couldn't help but raise his brows. “Don’t you know what | like the most?” “Ahem.” Melanie cleared her throat as she looked at William with her face red.

The mood was getting a little awkward when William broke the silence and said, “Right, boss. Leo asked you to attend the party at his place tonight. How should | respond to the butler?”

Jeffrey looked at Melanie again and asked, “Are you going?” “Lam.” There was a hint of slyness in her eyes. “Perhaps Leo can take me to see some wonderful movies. Of course, I'll be going.”

Jeffrey sulked, as he couldn’t do anything with the woman’s expressiveness. After pausing a little, he said to William, “Don’t respond for now. There’s something that you need to do first.”

“Since Leo is a part of everything, then he’s definitely going after something tonight during the party,” Jeffrey turned around and glanced at Melanie. “We can take over control instead.”

Melanie instantly understood what he meant. “He would be curious about what happened between us yesterday. And we need to find out who's behind him, so we need to make some preparations.”

Jeffrey nodded without saying anything and teased her, “How can we tell him what happened between us las night?”

Melanie’s face turned red again.
