Chapter 8 Who Did She Sleep With?

The man in the room was in a wheelchair. He was quite imposing, and even though he appeared unwell, his good looks still shone through. His disability could not suppress his powerful and compelling demeanor.

Melanie narrowed her eyes. This man’s demeanor resembled the one she had slept with in the Paris Hotel. This man bore a stronger resemblance than Stephen!

At this moment, a bodyguard came from another room and said, “President Morgan is waiting for you, Miss Jones.”

President Morgan?

Rumor had it that Jeffrey, the second master of the Morgans was in charge of the Morgan Group. It was said that he was ruthless because he had been living abroad for a long time. Besides, he was a cripple as well.

Melanie was not curious why Jeffrey would appear in her room. After all, the entire Harbor City was his territory. What she was curious about was the man’s appearance.

Jeffrey’s eyes appeared to conceal an unreachable vulnerability. Melanie tried to avert her gaze but she could not help but dwell in his deep eyes.

In her memories, Jeffrey felt very similar to the man she slept with that night.

Melanie attempted to maintain a composed expression, feeling her face redden as she recalled the events of that night at the hotel.

The man seemed strong, so it did not seem likely that he was disabled. If Jeffrey was partially paralyzed, could it be that the man in the hotel was Stephen? Melanie doubted herself.

Then, she felt that Jeffrey was looking at her with a complicated look.

“I’ll agree to the request that you mentioned to Stephen. However, I have one for you, too,” Jeffrey said, interrupting her thoughts. His cold voice exuded a sense of elegance.

“What is it?”

“You’ll marry into the Morgans.” Jeffrey pursed his lips and said indifferently, “Secretly.”

“Why?” Melanie raised her eyebrows.

“Don’t you know why?” Jeffrey stared into her eyes calmly with his sharp gaze.

Was it because of that night?

Melanie lowered her eyes, sizing Jeffrey up secretly. His calm and sensible appearance resembled that of a father cleaning up after his kid’s mess.

This meant that the man she slept with that night was indeed Stephen. However, what she was curious about was that Stephen was at the peak of his career, so could a secret marriage bring any benefits to him?

Then, Melanie felt suspicious. She inhaled before fixing her gaze on the fragrance by the bedside. It seemed like she had to solve another problem first.

She went up to take the fragrance and asked, “How long do you plan to stay in my room?”

“Ten minutes.”

Jeffrey’s eyes changed as he looked cautiously at her.

“Please wait for a moment. I’ll be back soon.” Melanie noticed the blush on Jeffrey’s cheek as she spoke while walking out of the room.

“How dare you make him wait for you?” Behind Jeffrey, his bodyguard went up to stop her as he warned in an unfriendly tone.

Melanie turned around and waved the fragrance in her hands at them as she said, “If President Morgan doesn’t want to be under the influence of this, I believe it’s best to dispose of it soon.”

Although the fragrance in her room appeared similar to the ones in the other guest rooms, the scent was a little different. She was not +15 BONUS Jeffrey’s eyebrows twitched as he sensed warmth in his chest. He then signaled his bodyguard to let her go.

Melanie walked out of the room with her cane. She even said to the bodyguard without turning her head, “For the sake of your president’s health, I suggest you open the windows for ventilation.”

She went out and handed the fragrance to the private detective outside her room. She then ordered, “Take this and swap it with the one in Lena’s room. Let her have a taste of her own medicine.”

When Melanie entered her room again, all the windows were opened and the blush on Jeffrey’s cheek gradually subsided.

Jeffrey glanced at the petite girl in front of him. He had instructed his men to retrieve the room’s surveillance footage, realizing that Lena had come to Melanie’s room before the party and even swapped the fragrance on her bedside.

However, the smell was so mild, so how did she notice it?
