Lifelong Companion novel Chapter 67

The old man who had a quarrel with Melissa yesterday came over, red faced. He reached out his trembling hand and held Melissa. Seeing that Aaron didn't seem to have any aversion to him, he quietly let out a sigh of relief. "Miss Melissa, let it go. It doesn't make any sense... Otherwise, even you will be implicated by us! "

Melissa quickly calmed down and said, "Don't worry. I am also a worker. I have never said how noble my identity is. I'm not as good as you think. Don't worry. We are on the same boat. As long as I'm alive, I won't let you be bullied by others! "

Melissa said with a smile on her face. She looked very kind.

The old man's eyes were vague, and then tears welled up in his eyes. He nodded, and retreated to the side, waiting for Melissa's arrangement.

Melissa pushed away Aaron's hand, and then stood on the higher stairs. Shaking her hand, she gave a sign to the workers not far away from her and explained, "Hmm, I think the people are almost here. Let's cut the ribbon when ZERO comes in. As for those reporters, they are uninvited, so you don't have to worry about that. If they have any questions, you can ignore them. I don't care what others think of me, but you all have to be good, understand?"

The old man walked to the front, then he gave a thing in the basket to Melissa fawningly and said, "Okay! Miss Melissa, these are sixty small scissors. We bought them yesterday. They look really joyous in red! We choose a big one especially for you. Let's go up together then. It must be fun! "

Melissa then tightly held the scissors in her hand and smiled, "Yes. I think, it will be very beautiful! "

There were sixty people except Melissa, so they have sixty one scissors after ZERO came back. Each of them had exquisite scissors in their hands, which looked a little funny.

But Melissa didn't feel funny at all. Instead, she walked up to the front with a serious face, and led the sixty peasants to the front.

Instead of rushing to the front, Melissa put the microphone on the collar of her shirt and said, "This day is special, because it is the fruit of our effort for three months. Everyone had taken good care of Melissa during the time! If you hadn't worked hard together, you wouldn't have achieved what you are today. Do you remember that when we took over this project together, everyone said it was impossible? But we made it not in one year, nor in half a year, but three months! We made it! We made a miracle! "

Melissa didn't dress herself up deliberately today. She looked a little shabby compared with the workers. But to the workers, Melissa was like a goddess. She was so untouchable and inviolable.

Melissa raised the scissors in her hand high and then turned off the microphone. "So I'd like to thank you. I hope we can make more miracles in the future! Cut! We don't need too many reasons. I have witnessed your efforts, your tears and sweat. I'm not a senior executive. I'm just like you. We are people living under the same blue sky. There should not be lowly or noble people. So in the future, you should hold your head high and hold yourselves high, because you have the ability!"

These words seemed to have taken a lot of energy, because she was now gasping.

But this sentence got a lot of response!

The other sixty people lifted the scissors in their hands at the same time. Then the sixty workers were neatly arranged in a line under the guidance of Melissa.

Click.

The red silk ribbon, which should have been tied tightly, suddenly fell down.

In addition, thunderous applause was followed.

The smile on the face of Melissa didn't seem to stop. After a while, she reached out her hand and pinched her face.

Her inadvertent move was inexplicably attractive.

However, before this joy could restrain, there was a sudden noise around.

Before she could react, Melissa felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen. As she lowered her eyes, she saw a bright scissor was put into her belly.

Astonishment was written all over her face.

The man in front of her, however, didn't seem to feel guilty at all. He forcefully pulled the scissors out, threw it away in disgust, and then shouted, "Melissa, today is your last day!"

The place became chaotic. Melissa even forgot to fight back.

The man kicked the scissors away as if he thought the scissors was not sharp enough. Then he took out a fruit knife with chilling coldness from his pocket and rushed to the place of Melissa.

"Melissa!"

"Woman!"

ZERO and Aaron rushed forward at the same time and growled in a low voice. ZERO had been the first one to arrive, because he was closer to Melissa.

He held Melissa into his arms. It was too late for ZERO to dodge the sharp blade. So he had no choice but to turn his back and hold Melissa tightly in his arms. He used his back to resist the blade.

With a sound of "rip", the clothes of ZERO was torn open in an instant. The sound of the blade entering into the body was particularly clear, lingering around the ear of Melissa.

Tears welled up in her eyes. Melissa's confidence was replaced by worry.

She quickly turned around and stood in front of him before she said with worry, "Damn it! ZERO, ZERO!"

And this kind of disturbance only lasted for a short time, because the moment ZERO resisted the knife, Aaron also caught the murderer.

However, Melissa didn't see all of these, because she could see nobody but ZERO, who was standing behind her with blood streaming.

Tears instantly rolled down from Melissa's eyes. She stamped her feet anxiously, and then reached into her pocket to rub something. She took out her phone and muttered to herself, "Are you okay? Why are you so silly? My wound isn't deep at all. I'll call an ambulance right now! Hold on! It hurts! Don't worry! There will be an ambulance soon! "

ZERO smirked. He frowned a little and didn't say anything else.

There were similar wounds all over his body, but such a small one could make Melissa so worried. Did it mean that he also held a special place in her heart?

When ZERO was thinking about this, Aaron tied the man with a hemp rope and threw him onto the floor.

The sound was exactly in front of Melissa. Melissa was startled by the huge noise.

All of a sudden, Melissa froze when she saw the man's face.

Somehow, Melissa shivered and almost fainted. If not for Aaron's quick reaction, she might have fallen to the ground.

Melissa reached out her trembling hand. She didn't know whether it was because of fear or effort. After a long time, she couldn't even speak a complete sentence. She just kept repeating the word of "you" to herself.

Looking at her pale face, Aaron was inexplicably flustered. He grabbed her wrist and then comforted, "What's wrong? Just say it."

Melissa's breath quickened a little. She gritted her teeth and said, "It's you! I remember you! "

She remembered that the man was also there when Gina brought her helpers to make a scene.

So he sneaked in?

Gritting her lower lip tightly, Melissa hesitated for a long time before she said, "The man works for Gina! I saw him before. "

Now she was much calmer than before.

After hearing these two words, a trace of unhappiness appeared on Aaron's face obviously. But in order to confirm that Melissa was sober, he asked again, "Gina?"

Her face turned ferocious in an instant. Melissa half crouched down, and then forcefully grabbed the man's hair before she roared, "Yes! Aaron, I can't stand it... Definitely not. I have said that if anything happens, take it directly at me. Why still hurt my people?"
