The most embarrassing thing was that Lucien caught her before she fell. The warmth of his palm on her skin made her heart race. However, that didn't stop the water from spilling all over her. When she looked at her chest, she felt her cheeks grew hot.

Seeing that, Lucien hurried to his car and took out the blanket, which temporarily saved her from the awkward situation.

But just as Nina said, he must have seen everything.

Sylvie covered her face and flopped into sofa, trying to hide herself from the rest of the world.

Nina teased, "Should I call to confirm? And make him take responsibility?"

Sylvie jumped up from the sofa and called out, "No!"

One night stand was nothing strange these days. Plus, he didn't do anything to her. She just felt embarrassed that he might have seen the pattern of her bra, that was all.

Nina added, "I think he actually wants to do it though."

"You are kidding." Sylvie fell back into the sofa.

Nina moved closer to her and asked, "Do you have feelings for him?"

"No." Sylvie turned over to face the wall.

"Hey, a rich and attractive guy asked you to fake date with him. Isn't that obvious enough? Can't you just be an adult and go for it?" Nina suggested.

Other women would pounce on him without hesitation. She didn't know why her assistant was hesitating.

Sylvie started developing a headache because of Nina's nagging.

She got up from the sofa and ran to the door. "It's getting late. Gotta go. See you tomorrow."

With that, she rushed out of Nina's room.

"Scaredy-cat!" Nina shouted from behind

Hearing that, Sylvie didn't know whether to be angry or happy. She knew Nina said that to prod her into pursuing her happiness.

But she simply couldn't muster up the courage to hit on someone who was so outstanding and so out of her league. She had always been conservative and this was not something she would do.

Sylvie did walk out of her comfort zone once, though. Years ago, she made a confession to her crush at his birthday party but got rejected in front of everyone. That traumatized her.

Sylvie got back to her room and took a quick shower. After much pondering, she sent Lucien a message. "When are you leaving? I'll wash the blanket and return it to you."

Lucien replied almost immediately. "Gotta fly tomorrow. Just keep it. You can give it back to me next time.

Sylvie stared at the text and sighed. Next time?

Please don't. She was embarrassed enough.

In the end, she typed, "Okay, have a safe flight."

"Thanks." Lucien responded.

He wasn't pushing her. He had already heard that Sylvie would ask for leave for her father's birthday next month. He would figure out what to do by then. Maybe he could even follow her home and meet her parent?

That seemed a little inappropriate. But it was still necessary to prepare a birthday gift for her father. After all, Sylvie was still his nominal girlfriend.

In Riverside City.

Melanie woke up on Mr. Fletcher's bed. Memories from last night flooded her mind. She went crazy after realizing what had happened and went at Mr. Fletcher. He called the police and had her arrested. Rebecca Young and Allstar didn't send people to bail her out because they couldn't afford to go against Mr. Fletcher.

Melanie threw an ashtray at him and kicked him in the crotch. Mr. Fletcher was badly hurt and said that he would make sure that Melanie stayed in prison for the rest of her life.

Rebecca and Allstar didn't want to be implicated in this.

Melanie had no choice but to call Lucien. Of course, Lucien had already blocked her number. Melanie called his office line.

Lucien's assistant answered it and then passed the words on to Lucien.

He was about to board the plane in Jamelaton Airport and didn't have the tome to handle this. He thought about it and called Cameron. After discussion, they decided to help Melanie for the one last time for their tutor's sake. They planned to book a flight ticket for her and send her away.

Cameron couldn't care less about this whole Melanie mess, so he sends his new assistant Steven Emerson to take care of it.

Before Steven left, Cameron called Nina and reported the situation to her. Although he knew Nina wouldn't mind him sending someone to bail Melanie out, he still wanted to tell her about it first.

By doing that, he was showing due respect to Nina.

When another woman was involved, she had every right to know about the in and out of it.

Steven went to the police station with Camcien Lifetech's lawyer and a flight ticket in his hand. After being freed, Melanie immediately asked, "Where is Lucien? Where is Cameron? Why aren't they here?" "Mr. Fowler is not in Riverside City. Mr. Dauster doesn't want to see you, so he sent me to deal with this matter."

Cameron had told Steven that he didn't have to be nice to Melanie, and that was exactly what he did.

"Here is the flight ticket Mr. Dauster bought for you. The driver will take you back to pack up and then drive you to the airport."

Melanie was exasperated at the fact that Cameron and Lucien were planning on dismissing her with a flight ticket. This was an insult!

She wouldn't let them get away with it.

Her body was tarnished by Mr. Fletcher's filthy hands. None of them helped her out. She was not going to swallow it. They couldn't treat her this way!

It was all Cameron and Lucien's fault!

If they had helped her, she wouldn't have been raped!

She hated the two to the core.

Melanie stepped forward, snatched the flight ticket from Steven's hands and tore it to pieces. "Go tell Cameron that I won't let this slip!" She said viciously.

Steven shrugged and replied contemptuously, "You sure about that?"

Steven didn't say that because he despises her or anything. It was just that no one in Riverside City could afford to go against Cameron and Lucien nowadays. What was Melanie going to do? She didn't have any leverage.

Angered by Steven's words, Melanie raised her hand in an attempt to slap him. Steven grabbed her by the wrist and stopped her. Melanie winced in pain and cried, "Let go of me!"

Steven had never met someone so unreasonable like Melanie. "Are you trying to assault me right in front of the police station? Mr. Dauster shouldn't have bailed you out," Steven said. "Who do you think you are? You have no right to say that!" Melanie was going crazy again.

Steven shook off her hands and said coldly, "I know very well who I am. But I think you should let go of your ego."

With that, he left with the lawyer. The driver stayed and sent the infuriated Melanie back.

After Steven returned to Camcien Lifetech, he told Cameron what happened at the police station. "Well done," Cameron said to Steven.

A person like Melanie didn't deserve to be respected.

Steven asked, " But she tore up the flight ticket. What should we do? Book another one for her?"

"It's her own choice. Let her stay, then. Her impenitence will surely teach her a lesson," Cameron's face darkened as he said.

Melanie's insolent attitude and disposition bothered Cameron. Had Jillian's failure taught her nothing?☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
