Spoiled by Mr. Russell

Chapter 65

“Let‘s fight then,” Melanie said with disregard. “We have enough evidence since I’ve already copied all the information, and we have a professional legal team. Why should we be afraid of her?”

Speaking of the information, Melanie lifted her hand and looked it over. “See? My hand is swollen and in pain! Why would I need to work so hard if it weren‘t for her? Nate, we must ensure she doesn‘t have the upper hand. You must teach her a lesson this time! How could she treat you like this?” Nathaniel pushed Melanie away when she leaned over, as he was not in the mood. He was not as optimistic as she was. “I keep feeling that she has a trick up her sleeve. Why else would she insist on going to court when she knows all the evidence is in my hands?”

Melanie was stunned at his words but shook her head.

“Impossible. You‘re overthinking this. What trick could Lily have? We have the data, and the other employees are completely unfamiliar with her. I was right to do this back then. I told her to stay in the laboratory and not visit the headquarters often. It‘s also all over the Internet that she‘s the third wheel and stole the company‘s secret out of jealousy for me. What are you afraid of? We have everything in place!” “Things aren‘t that simple. You should know that she was the one who developed all our company‘s products.” Melanie interjected, “You just think you can‘t lose her, right? If you like her so much, then you can go to her. I‘ll leave. I‘ll leave right now!” Seeing Melanie unhappy, Nathaniel grabbed and pulled her into his arms. “What are you talking about? That‘s not what I mean. Would I be in this situation if I liked her? Who am I doing this for, my little vixen?”

Nathaniel coaxed her while planting gentle kisses on her cheek. Melanie turned around and kissed him passionately. They only pulled away after a long time. Melanie laid softly in his arms. “I don‘t like you mentioning her. She had claimed ownership of you for so many years. I’m jealous. Why can‘t I be jealous?” “Alright, I know you‘re jealous, but now is not the right time. Mel, after ‘First Love,‘ there has

been no news of a new product for quite some time. The other employees are already talking about this. You are the director of the R&D department. It‘s time you come up with something fresh.” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“That‘s...” Melanie hesitated, as she did not know what to say.

It was not that she lacked the knowledge to complete the task. However, she had not touched these things for many years as she had Lily do it for her. Although she knew the basics, making perfumes required an accumulation of experience, inspiration, and ideas. All her thoughts were on how to remain by Nathaniel‘s side, win his heart, marry the president of MN Inc, and be a wealthy man’s wife. How could she still have time to think of making perfumes? This was all Lily‘s fault. Melanie would not be forced to do this now if Lily had not made such a big fuss.

“Don‘t force me!” Melanie turned her head and said in annoyance.

Nathaniel hugged her from behind, “I’m not forcing you, but I‘m also under pressure. Do you understand? Instead of fighting the lawsuit, we can win simply by coming up with a new, successful perfume. There‘s a product exhibition in Paris and hasn‘t it been a long time since you vacationed? In the exhibition, we‘ll release the hot–selling new product. We can enjoy our time there while pushing our company to the next level. After that, we‘ll get married and go to Europe for our honeymoon. What do you say?” Melanie could almost see the beautiful future painted before her eyes. However, things were easier said than done. How could it be so easy to create a hot–selling product?

Also, she had not practiced the trade for many years and had no inspiration. Even if an idea came to her, she was unsure whether she could still achieve the desired result with her rusty skills.

“What‘s wrong? Are you feeling insecure? Don‘t worry. There are still others in the laboratory. There‘s still Olivia. She‘d been by Lily‘s side for years and had some experience. You can ask them to help you.”
