I Became His Sweetheart

Chapter 338 Cooperation

After breakfast, Melanie insisted on wearing the same outfit from last night and even intentionally put on makeup that made it look like it was half-ruined. Only then could her plan be more believable.

After preparing herself, she put on a mask and ran out of the elevator when most of the staff from Morgan Group hadn't gone to work yet. She took a cab and went back to Jones Enterprise.

Jeffrey was standing at the top of the building as he looked at the woman running to the plaza next to the road. Even when there was such a wide distance between them, he could tell how upset and pitiful she was just from her figure. He couldn’t help but smile. With that kind of acting skills, why did she support Lena in the first place? If she did it herself, she might be famous already.

Suddenly, his phone rang. Jeffrey picked it up.

“You're right, boss. The moment the madam got into the cab, a car quickly followed them. I've checked the security camera footage. The car has been parked at the parking lot outside of the company since last night,” William reported.

“Don’t alert them even if you have to lose them,” Jeffrey ordered him.

“Don't worry, boss. I’ve arranged for three different groups of people to follow them from three different roads. Other than this car, | noticed there are another two suspicious cars as well. The person behind this operation is quite cautious... Maybe they're worried that the madam will drive her cab personally and park in the basement level, so they arranged for them to wait there.”

“Good. Keep an eye on all of them,” Jeffrey finished and hung up, confident. Later that night at eight.

Melanie went to Leo’s place in Harbor City by car. It was a mansion at the foot of the mountain. The party in the courtyard was pleasantly prepared-there was an exquisite buffet, fine wine, and even a vibrant dance floor by the swimming pool.

She took out her invitation and gave it to the staff registering the guests by the entrance. After giving a look, he politely asked her, “Are you here on your own, Ms. Melanie?” “That’s right.”

“My apologies then. Master Leo has set up a small rule tonight. All guests must come in as a pair. Why don’t you wait for another male guest that you might know and go in together?” The servant said.

Melanie raised her eyebrow. She had heard of rules like this for banquets overseas, but there were few that would do something like this in the country.

Seemed like Leo had something else in mind when he did this.

She didn’t have much choice, so she simply nodded and decided to wait for someone. At this time, Stephen’s

“You probably don’t remember my name, Mr. Stephen. I’m Melanie Jones.” Melanie followed his line of questioning.

Stephen let out a laugh and said, “Oh, right. Ms. Melanie. If | had known that you’re going to be here alone, | wouldn’t have brought a partner with me.” He looked at the beautiful young woman next to him with a smile.

The young woman was Dabhlia, a celebrity that the Morgan Group was heavily promoting. Melanie had seen many of her interviews in the newspapers.

“It's impolite to joke like that in front of your partner.” Melanie said with a smile.

At this time, another servant came in from inside the courtyard and immediately bowed apologetically at Melanie. “You're Ms. Melanie Jones, right? Please come in!”

“I'm here alone.” She emphasized.

“I'm so sorry about that. Master Leo has said that Ms. Melanie doesn’t need to follow this rule,” The servant bowed even lower.

“Why?”

“Because my master is also alone tonight,” the servant explained.

No wonder...

Melanie smiled politely and walked in through the courtyard.

She was even suspecting that the two servants were intentionally telling her that one by one.

Stephen came in with her, intentionally leaving his partner behind before whispering in her ears. “Leo is one the York family’s surviving children... Does he have a death wish? To think that he’ll openly court you like this... | heard my uncle will be here

too... “We've made our arrangements,” Melanie answered without much expression. Stephen raised his eyebrow and nodded. Their relationship was indestructible. “Do you need my help with

anything?”

“What you need to do is to get away from us and not mess up our plans. Melanie said with a smile at Stephen, but the way she looked made sent a chill up his spine, so Stephen quickly nodded. “Understood...”

They went their separate ways. Melanie intentionally went to a small path and walked around behind the crowd. She didn’t want to get too much attention, which would fit with how she was acting sad today. It would

also allow her to execute her plans with Jeffrey.

She was paying some attention at the entrance. After about half an hour when all the guests had mostly

arrived, Jeffrey also finally arrived.

His car stopped on the hill, and William opened his door to let him down. At this time, another company owner

greeted him, and they chatted for a little while. Melanie felt that they seemed to have encountered the same

problem.

Jeffrey was very angry and turned around and yelled at William, while all William could do was to bow down and apologize.

Was this part of the plan? Or was Jeffrey improvising? Just as she was still thinking about it, she heard someone call her name.
