Chapter 3011 With a heavy heart and restless mind, Melissa struggled to sleep that night.

In the early hours, she boarded the subway to the office. Upon arrival, the second secretary approached her discreetly. “Mr. Waston seems to have had another argument with Jessie. The poor man got scratched on the face again.” Forcing a smile, Melissa collected herself and organized the documents before knocking on the CEO's door. “Mr. Waston?"m Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...

With permission granted, she entered.

Albert was engrossed in a phone call. As Melissa entered the room, he briefly glanced up, acknowledging her presence with a nod before returning his focus to the conversation.

Melissa surmised that the person on the other end of the line must be Jessie.

Melissa deduced this because Albert had recently befriended a celebrity, which likely triggered jealousy and temper tantrums from Jessie.

After coaxing Jessie and hanging up, he lamented, touching his face.

“I'm making a fool of myself.” Melissa smiled. “Not at all, Mr. Waston.” Albert leaned back in his leather chair, cigarette in hand, rubbing his temple with the other hand, a visible hint of annoyance on his face. “Melissa, what should a person do if they can't marry their lover?” (Eagles) ‘s (Eagles) Caught off guard, Melissa met his gaze.

Albert said graciously, “Go ahead, speak your mind. I won't hold it against you.” Melissa spoke in a low voice. “One must first be loyal to their partner before discussing marriage.” Albert's expression darkened. “Why do I sense a hint of sarcasm in your words?" “I assure you, there's none,” Melissa replied respectfully. “As your subordinate, I wouldn't dare. I'm simply speaking the truth as you asked me to.” After hesitating for a moment, she added, “If you truly can’t commit to marrying Miss Green and be faithful, it might be best to set her free. She hasn't really been happy with you these years.” Albert chuckled.

“Why defend her when you're not even on good terms?” With a neutral tone, Melissa replied, “I'm not taking anyone's side.

Just stating the facts.” Albert reclined in the plush leather chair, his demeanor relaxed as he closed his eyes.

He had always been a playboy, his heart once given to someone in his youth. While women like Jessie and the allure of stars and models brought him momentary excitement, Albert never contemplated surrendering his true affections or marrying.

Marriage was never in his plan.

Chapter 3012 “Melissa, you think I've done wrong, don't you?” Albert's voice broke the silence. “I don't love Jessie, yet I've kept her waiting for years. I've tainted her innocence.” Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...

Melissa remained silent.

Opening his eyes, Albert sighed. “I understand.” Unbeknownst to them, a slender figure lingered outside the slightly ajar door. Jessie, the focal point of their discussion was Listening.

‘When Melissa entered, the door wasn't fully closed.

Every word exchanged between Melissa and Albert pierced her heart like icy daggers.

Despite waiting for Albert for several years, he hadn't shown any signs of softening his heart. He was constantly surrounded by new women, and Jessie had once naively believed she was the most special one to him.

But Albert's indifference to marriage shattered her illusions.

It became evident that Albert had never even considered whether Jessie was truly happy or not.

She never considered her own happiness. Her mind was consumed by thoughts of Melissa. Jessie never liked Melissa, yet it turned out she was the only one here that voiced out Jessie's own happiness did matter.

(Eagles) ‘s (Eagles) Tears streaming down her face, Jessie leaned against the wall.

As other secretaries passed by, Jessie uttered in a low, hoarse voice, “Please, don’t mention that I've been here.” With a heavy heart, Jessie left.

Initially, when she arrived, she harbored thoughts of doing everything she could to compel Albert to end things with the star.

However, now, she felt utterly disheartened and disillusioned.

The man with whom she shared her bed seemed to care less about her than he did about others outside their relationship.

Jessie's heart sank.

She hurried into the elevator, waiting until the doors closed and she was alone before allowing herself to cry freely, hands covering her face. Her sobs echoed in the confined space, reminiscent of a child's cries. It was as if she had suddenly matured; while she had once clung to Albert like a cherished toy, she now realized she no longer desired it, even if she were to obtain it.

She sat in the car, absent-minded.

She retrieved her phone and dialed Albert's number. After a brief pause, Albert answered, annoyance evident in his voice. On the other end, a girl's hoarse voice greeted him, lacking its usual softness.

She said, “Albert, let's end things.” Stunned, Albert stared at his phone but Jessie had already hung up.

Albert stared at his phone for a moment before setting it down with deliberation. Melissa surmised that the caller must be Jessie.
