Spoiled by Mr Russell (Lily Christian and Alexander) novel Chapter 117

Chapter 117

After listening to his words, Melanie looked around the room again, but all she could think about was what Frank‘s room looked like. She took a deep breath and said, “It‘s not bad.”

Nathaniel was dissatisfied, “What do you mean by ‘not bad?‘ You should know that the price differs significantly.”

“Well, there‘s not much of a difference to the other rooms,” Melanie didn‘t want to discuss this, so she replied perfunctorily.

“How can your room be almost the same as the others? It cost a few hundred dollars more.” Nathaniel did not realize how Melanie felt, but he continued, “Mel, we‘re relatively well–off now, but you know the company is facing some major problems now. We still need to recruit new talents and expand our market, so we must calculate every penny carefully. It might be difficult now, but if you think about the future...”

“Oh, here we go again with ‘the future!‘ You always talk about the future!” Melanie thundered as she was unable to bear Nathaniel‘s rambling. “What I want is the present! You always talk to me about the future, and it feels like you‘re showing me something unreachable! I can‘t see the future, Nate! I just can‘t!” She could not help but lose control as tears rolled down her cheeks.

Nathaniel did not respond for a long time. He did not expect Melanie‘s mood to change as she had never been that angry. “Mel?” He hesitantly called out to her. “Are you mad?”

“Yes, I am!” Melanie said affirmatively.

“Is it because of me?” After thinking about it, Nathaniel said, “Or did Frank do something to you?”

Melanie felt guilty when Nathaniel mentioned Frank. She shouted, “Is that your first thought?! Do you always think about these things, Nate? Let me tell you why I‘m in a bad mood. It‘s because I saw Lily!”

“L–Lily?” Nathaniel was startled as he did not expect Melanie to mention that name. “Where did you see her? Is she in Middle Valley?”

“Yes, she is,” Melanie continued, “Not only is she in Middle Valley, but she also sat in first class and enjoyed special treatment. She even had a special reception when she arrived. A driver picked her up in a Rolls–Royce too! Did you hear me, Nate? Frank and I only had a $ 100,000 Mercedes–Benz, but Lily got to ride in a $500,000 Rolls–Royce?!” Melanie spilled everything in one breath, and her mood became much smoother.

Nathaniel was quiet as what he heard was beyond his wildest expectations. “Mel, I didn‘t expect…”

Melanie interjected with gritted teeth, “Of course, you didn‘t, and I didn‘t either. Lily betrayed us, yet she can still live so lavishly. Why is that, Nate? I‘ll make sure she gets what she deserves!”

Nathaniel replied, “What are you going to do?” “I know Lily will be at the sampling session. I want to embarrass her!” Melanie said bitterly. “Don‘t get impulsive, Mel. Figure out the situation, and then we‘ll talk about it. Lily is no

longer an MN Inc. employee, and the people from Rebirth are protecting her. She doesn‘t listen to me at all. You...”

“Do you feel sorry for her, Nate?” “What? Why would you say that?” Nathaniel immediately denied it. “You‘re the only one for me, Mel. You should know that. As for Lily, she...” “That‘s it. You take care of the essential oil issue and wait to hear my good news!” Melanie instantly hung up the phone as soon as she finished speaking.

“Mel? Mel?!”
