Chapter 138
Due to the distraction, the meeting room was instantly filled with an eerie silence as everyone instinctively shifted their gazes to the source of the loud bang. “I’m sorry, Mr. Alston. Your mother, Mrs. Alston, would like to see you, and I couldn’t stop her.” The secretary’s voice shivered as she spoke, standing right behind Melissa.
At the same time, Melissa had already fixed her messy hair and outfit, presenting herself in a more decent appearance, but despite her gorgeous front, the darkened look on her face made her seem unapproachable. While everyone else began to gossip upon noticing the change in her expression, Leo soon started to knit his eyebrows silently with an unhappy look on his face.
In the meantime, the secretary was seen with her back covered in sweat, looking as if she was about to cry. “I- I’m so sorry.” She kept repeating that, not knowing what else to say.
“It’s me who insisted on seeing you. No one else should be blamed for that,” Melissa said, but the moment she
met Leo’s eyes, she felt her heart racing like a jackhammer. After all, she knew Leo was a workaholic who
didn’t like being disturbed at work.
“Ladies and gentlemen, please give us a little space here,” Leo responded and waved his hand, whereupon the rest of the people stood up and grabbed their belongings before disappearing from the meeting room. As soon as the secretary thoughtfully closed the door, Melissa instantly felt relieved and grateful that Leo was kind enough to dismiss everyone else to talk to her in private, but not long after that, her relief was replaced by a twinge of bitterness. “Leo, I thought I told you to discuss Bria’s custody with Amelie. Haven’t you talked to her about it?” She walked up to her son and asked.
The only reason Melissa met Leo the night before was that she wanted to hear his stance about Bria’s custody. Upon hearing his affirmative reply, she became audacious and decided to interfere with the matter in her son’s place, thinking she should keep him away from Amelie whom she reckoned would be up to some dirty tricks should both of them meet.
