Chapter 28 Thank You!
“Sorry, I have to go out for a while.” Melissa bowed.
Murray frowned slightly and asked with dissatisfaction, “Where are you going? It’s almost time for dinner.”
Murray didn’t know where Melissa went.
“Just a bit of an emergency.” Melissa stood up and walked out of the door.
She called the doctor in the pet hospital and asked, “Hello, Dr. Bray, I am Melissa. How is the puppy I sent there?”
Dr. Bray’s voice came from the other side of the line. “It has recovered.”
Melissa nodded. “I’ll pick it up now.”
Melissa saw that the dog that Marc was holding in the photo was similar to the stray dog she had saved before. The key was that the collar around its neck was the same.
Hence, Melissa was almost certain that the stray dog she had saved was the one that Marc had lost.
She heard from Murray that Marc and the dog had a deep relationship, and she decided to bring the dog back to Marc right now.
“What is Melissa doing? This is so impolite.” Sarah was dissatisfied when she saw that Melissa had suddenly left.
“That’s right. Do we need to wait for her to eat?” Adela echoed.
Murray glanced at Marc and said clearly, “There’s something urgent at the company. Melissa is going to handle it.”
He didn’t know why Melissa left in such a hurry, but subconsciously he didn’t want others to gossip about Melissa, especially his mother.
Sarah raised her voice, “What’s so important? More important than your grandfather? This is so rude. Adela is the best. She is well-educated and graceful.”
“Mrs. Gibson, you flatter me.” Adela pretended to be shy when she saw Sarah praising her.
“Meli rushed over when she heard that there was something urgent at the company. It’s very good.” Marc’s face sank.
Sarah didn’t say anything else, but Adela grew more jealous.
Adela secretly bit her lips, her heart filled with jealousy and unwillingness.
She wondered, Why did Marc value Melissa, this country bumpkin?
In terms of family background and appearance, how could I not compare to her?
Why did Marc not like me?
Thinking of this, Adela concealed her emotions and pretended to be worried. “But Melissa should tell us when she will come back. We can wait for her, but Mr. Marc, your health is not good…”
“Let’s eat first. We don’t need to wait for her.” Murray frowned indifferently.
He knew why Sarah brought Adela here today.
Even though he and Melissa were only in a contract, out of nowhere, he didn’t allow anyone to slander Melissa
“Jose, let’s go eat,” Marc said.
“Yes,” Jose said respectfully, ordering the maids to bring the food over.
“Mr. Marc, the drumstick is good for your health.” Adela attentively picked up a drumstick for Marc.
Marc said okay, but did not eat it.
Adela was a bit embarrassed and turned to look at Murray.
Murray was wearing a white shirt with a slightly loosened blue squares tie, and his sleeves were rolled up. Compared to his usual look, he was a bit more easy-going. His delicate features still carried a distant aura.
He was peeling a prawn.
He was elegant, noble, and perfect.
He still looked imposing and attractive right now.
Adela looked at him with infatuation.
Although she had loved Murray for many years, Murray didn’t look her in the eyes. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
Adela quickly peeled a big prawn and put it on Murray’s plate. “Murray, try the one I peeled.”
Murray moved the plate to the side coldly. “No need. I’m not used to eating prawns peeled by others.”
At that moment, the prawn fell to the dining table and rolled to the ground.
Adela was stunned. She wondered, Why did you do this to me?
This was unfair!!
“Murray, I peeled it for you on purpose,” she said, feeling extremely aggrieved.
“Yeah, Murray. Adela has good intentions,” said Sarah.
Murray pursed his lips indifferently. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly saw a familiar and beautiful figure from the corner of his eye.
Murray smiled slightly and raised his eyebrows. “Melissa.”
Following Murray’s gaze, Adela saw Melissa running back with a white puppy in her arms. She yelled, “Melissa, why are you bringing a dog over? We are all eating!”
Before Melissa could speak, the dog suddenly struggled hard to jump down.
Melissa smiled, bent down, and let go. The dog rushed to the front and jumped onto Marc’s leg, intimately rubbing against him.
“Dolly!” Marc’s eyes lit up. He was so excited that his hands trembled. He looked at the dog in his arms in disbelief. “Dolly, it is you!”
“Woof!” Dolly shouted as if it was responding to Marc.
“It’s good that you’re back.” Marc caressed Dolly, his eyes flickering with tears.
Dolly, who had been lost for so long, had finally returned home!
“Melissa, where did you find Dolly?” Murray looked at Melissa curiously.
It turned out that she left in a hurry just now to look for Dolly.
But it was Melissa’s first time seeing Dolly in the photo today. How could she find it so quickly?
He had many questions for her.
Melissa had run back and was a little out of breath.
She took a few deep breaths and raised her lips. “Do you remember the time when I was late a few days ago and was almost fired by Susie?”
Murray nodded.
That time, Melissa asked for leave from him and Susie insisted that Melissa was absent from work and wanted to fire her. Later, he came out and asked Susie to apologize to Melissa.
“That morning. Jessie’s car almost hit Dolly. I took Dolly to the pet hospital and it took a long time,
Melissa explained.
That was how it was.
Melissa didn’t know that Dolly was Marc’s dog.
So, she delayed her work to save a stray puppy and was even wronged by Susie.
Such kindness was rare and precious.
Murray looked at Melissa deeply and said sincerely, “Melissa, thank you!”
