Chapter 451 What Are You Doing
That day, Natalie was so distracted that she kept spacing out at work.
“Are you sure you’re okay?” inquired Lia when she noticed how troubled Natalie seemed.
Having finally decided to come clean, Natalie picked up her documents and sighed, “I actually have a personal issue to deal with. That’s why I have trouble focusing today. I’m afraid I might have to get off work early to recompose myself.”
Lia then nodded in response, permitting Natalie to take the rest of the day off.
Meanwhile, Melissa could feel her eyes swelling up behind her sunglasses after leaving the Dream Corporation office building. The more she thought about what happened, the more her heart ached. It even got to a point where she felt like her heart was on fire.
Even though Melissa came from a loving family, she had always lived in Yara’s shadow.
It took Melissa quite a while to find someone she cared so much about, but in the end, Yara ruined it for her.
“Yara, you lying piece of sh*t! I swear I’ll destroy you!” muttered Melissa, promising herself that she would get her revenge on Yara.
Then, the woman made her way to the Centurion Corporation office building.
Staring at the magnificent structure, Melissa was convinced that she was about to get her vengeance.
However, before she could even step into the building, she was stopped by a security guard at the entrance. “Stop!”
“I’m Melissa Nichols and I’m here to see your CEO, Samuel Bowers,” explained Melissa after removing her sunglasses.
“I have no idea who you are, lady,” responded the guard directly.
Displeased with the attitude, Melissa scowled at the security guard as she shouted arrogantly, “Just who the heck do you think you are? You’re nothing but an uncultured guard dog! How dare you stand in my way! I have some important matters to discuss with Mr. Bowers, so you’d better take me to him now!”
“I’m afraid I can’t do that if you have no appointment or the papers to show for it.” The security guard ignored Melissa’s insults and stood his ground.
“Are you hard of hearing or something? I just told you that I have important matters I need to discuss with Mr. Bowers!”
The guard glanced at Melissa and sneered condescendingly, “That’s what they all say; the people who couldn’t set up an appointment to meet Mr. Bowers. Now, if you don’t walk away quietly, I’ll have to get rid of you myself.”
“Why you little…” Melissa got so furious that her head was about to explode when she was denied access to the building.
She intended to expose Yara to Samuel, but she never thought that she would have trouble meeting the man.
Since that was Samuel’s office, Melissa dared not force her way in like she did at Dream, so she had no choice but to walk away after throwing a few more nasty words at the security guard.
Melissa blamed Yara for the humiliation she suffered outside the office building, so she stormed over to knock on the woman’s bedroom door as soon as she got home.
“Seriously?” responded Yara with her eyebrows tightly knitted. She had just gotten home and was about to unwind herself when she heard the loud banging on her door.
Glaring at Yara after she opened the door was the enraged Melissa. “What do you-”
Before Yara could finish her sentence, Melissa lifted her hand and gave the woman a good hard slap to the face.
The smacking sound was so loud that it resounded throughout the house.
Shocked by the sudden attack, Yara covered her cheek and froze for a second. “What the hell is wrong with you, Melissa? What was that for? Are you out of your mind!”
Even though Yara would like nothing more than to respond to the slap in kind, she decided against it because she needed Melissa to keep her secret.
“You should know what it’s for if you remember what you promised me. What happened to the illegible bachelor you promised me? As I told you, I like Yandel a lot, and you promised me that there was nothing going on between you two. So why the heck did you go meet him? Do you think you can backstab me and get away with it?”
“Melissa, you have to trust me. We only met up to talk about work.” Yara had indeed gone to see Yandel, but it was purely for business.
“Do you think I was born yesterday? I will never believe you again because you’re a selfish liar! In fact, I don’t see the point of keeping your secret for you anymore!” shouted Melissa, gritting her teeth.
