Chapter 47 I Demand to See Master Mia
Melanie frowned and scrutinized Finley suspiciously. “I was just with Hanson and I didn’t see Morales and Morgan with him. What did you do? Why are you hiding it from me? I’m their mother and I have the right to know where my children are.”
Finley bowed his head and said, “I’m telling you the truth. The two young masters left with President Luke. If you don’t believe me, Miss Greyson, then you can call Mr. Luke and verify my words.”
Melanie’s heart pitter-pattered uneasily. She had just landed herself in such a huge mess, so she did not have the guts to call Hanson. Even if she did, he probably would not pick up her call. She could only respond to Finley with a cold snort to convey her displeasure before walking away.
She was still trying to come up with a plan to get to the children, but if Hanson kept them by his side, then how was she ever going to get close to them?
Therefore, she could not rest all her hopes on them. Vania rejected her apology today, but Melanie had one final option that could very well save her.
She had to meet Mia Stravinsky and come to an agreement with her.
If she could accomplish what Hanson could not, and get Mia to agree to collaborate with Luke Corporation, then Hanson would surely see her in a better light. With the help of the two children, Melanie might even be able to keep her position in his life.
She did not have time to mull this over. She had to get this done at once, and the sooner it worked out, the better.
She tidied herself up and had the driver drop her off at Fortune Tower. Upon entering the lobby, she saw the same receptionist that she met yesterday.
Melanie rushed forward and asked, “So? Can I meet Master Mia today?”
While she spoke, she pushed a bank card over to Melody and whispered frantically, “Here’s another 1.5 million. I demand to see Master Mia immediately.”
Melody gave a courteous smile and graciously accepted the card. “Yes, Miss Greyson. Please wait a moment while I make the arrangements for you.”
She even served a cup of coffee to Melanie, but Melanie was in no mood to sit around and wait. In the end, the latter impatiently urged Melody, “Don’t bother with these trivial things. Hurry up and let her know I’m here.”
Melody nodded politely and said, “Okay.” At that, she gave Melanie a meaningful look before walking away.
Soon, she came back and informed Melanie, “Miss Greyson, Master Mia has invited you to her office on the top floor for a meeting.”
All at once, Melanie’s face lit up with a smile that she had not shown in days. She was filled with glee at the thought of meeting Mia Stravinsky, and even during the short trip up the elevator, Melanie began to imagine the scene of Hanson showering her with praises.
There was only one office on the top floor. When Melanie arrived, the door was tightly shut. She wanted to knock on the door, but an assistant came out of the lounge beside the office and announced politely, “Hello, Miss Greyson. I am Master Mia’s assistant. Unfortunately, Master Mia is currently in an appointment with an important client, so you will have to wait for a while.”
Melanie hesitated for a moment, but seeing as how she was already right on the doorstep of Mia Stravinsky’s office, it seemed unlikely that she would be denied a chance to meet her now. Since Mia was busy, then it was only right for Melanie to wait for a while, as she wanted to leave a good impression.
