CHAPTER 149: CHAPTER 149: DID YOU TELL HIM?

She still had pain in her foot and didn’t plan on going out. She had already taken a leave from the training class, which was only a week long, but she had already missed three or four days.

"Take the back door," Melody Thorne demanded, "can’t be seen by others."

Jared Quinn was displeased by her words; being seen with him embarrassed her. What woman didn’t yearn to walk with him?

In the end, the car drove to the back door. Melody Thorne and Timmy followed Jared Quinn into his office.

Outside the office, Jared Quinn’s desk was piled high with various documents. He had not come to the company yesterday because of Melody Thorne, so today he was particularly busy,

Inside the bedroom, bursts of laughter from two people occasionally rang out. Jared Quinn tugged his well-defined hand on his tie absentmindedly.

"CEO, shall we start the meeting first?" Simon Sutton couldn’t help but suggest. He had never seen his boss like this before.

For someone who prioritized work above everything, was he actually distracted today?

It was probably related to the sounds that occasionally emerged from inside.

"Let’s start the meeting first," Jared Quinn said angrily as he strode out of the office.

Simon Sutton carefully closed the office door behind him.

Timmy hadn’t slept well last night, so after playing for a while, he fell asleep on his own. Melody Thorne heard the sound of the closing door just now and walked out of the bedroom inside.

She sat down at Jared Quinn’s computer, using it to send the photos she had taken to Jean Gage [This is what you needed]

[What effect do you want?] Jean Gage replied to her with a message.

[Completely remove her from Director Irving’s film!]

[You’re more resourceful than I am] Jean Gage sent back along with an emoticon.

[Mutually beneficial, here’s to a successful collaboration]

Melody Thorne closed the chat window and opened the web page, where the issue of Sheryl Lancaster being asked by the public to apologize was still developing, and the posts hadn’t died down for days.

Sheryl Lancaster’s agent had no choice but to issue a post saying she would apologize to Kiki Sutton in front of all the media by noon tomorrow.

"Ding," the phone on the table rang.

It was Jared Quinn’s phone, a call from Ivy.

Still persistent, huh?

Melody Thorne hung up the call, but it rang again once hung up, repeatedly,

Finally, Melody Thorne picked up.

"Mr. Jared," Ivy’s excited voice came through.

"He’s busy, anything you need?"

"Melody Thorne!" the voice on the other side shrieked upon hearing hers.

"I’m listening, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up. He doesn’t have time to take your call."

"Wait, Melody Thorne, was it you, was it you who stopped Mr. Jared from helping our Adler Family?" Ivy yelled furiously.

Melody Thorne replied calmly, "It was me."

"Melody Thorne, why do you treat me like this!"

"I told you that borrowed things must be returned. You’ve been exploiting the incident from ten years ago for so long, and you still want to continue? I’m afraid not, you won’t be able to use it anymore."

"Did you tell Jared Quinn?" Ivy’s voice came back out of control.

She could never tell Jared Quinn; to her, those things no longer mattered.

Melody Thorne hung up, leaving Ivy to her imagination.

She stared again at the post she just sent.

Suddenly, the office door was pushed open, Melody Thorne looked up, and Jared Quinn’s eyes landed directly on her.

Why was the meeting so short? Usually, Jared Quinn would hold meetings for more than two hours at least.

Melody Thorne furrowed her brow slightly, closed what she was looking at, and then got off the leather chair, intending to walk back into the bedroom without saying a word.
