Chapter 175

If Melody hadn’t been reborn, she would definitely be screaming with joy right now.

So, it was not that the products weren’t impressive enough. It was just that she had experienced most of these things before. The only thing that surprised her was the ward,

With such a ward, doctors wouldn’t even need to do rounds anymore.

But Melody was still very surprised, not by the products, but by the fact that the owner of Ximber Tech was Ken.

Melody hadn’t fully processed this information.

yet.

Melody was very much looking forward to seeing Ulric’s reaction when he found out that Ken was the owner of Ximber Tech.

That expression will surely be priceless.

After all, in two years, the market value of Ximber Tech would far exceed that of

I the Swanson Group

In other words, Ken wouldn’t need to pay any attention to the

to the current business giant, the Swanson Group.

No wonder whenever Ken mentioned Ulric, he was always indifferent, without a trace of jealousy.

He really didn’t need to be jealous of Ulric.

On the other side, James was carefully observing Melody’s changing expressions and couldn’t help but become more

curious.

James asked, “Miss Fox, what are you thinking about? Are you paying attention to the tour?”

Melody snapped back to reality, just about to respond when her phone suddenly rang with a WhatsApp notification

Ever since Ken added her on WhatsApp, he liked to contact her through it.

She pressed the answer button, and Ken’s cold voice came through: “Where are you?”

Melody said. “On the second–floor exhibition area.”

Ken said, “Come to the office floor to find me.”

With that, he ended the call without waiting for Melody’s response.

Melody conveyed Ken’s message to James, who couldn’t help but feel a bit jealous.

Ken had changed. He no longer contacted James first for anything

James couldn’t understand what was so special about Melody this made Ken value her so much.

James led the way silently with a stiff face.

Melody followed James and wondered, “What’s with his attitude now?‘

Melody realized she didn’t understand what young men were thinking nowadays.

They soon arrived at the office floor, and James led her to Ken’s office.

As the office door opened, Melody expected Ken to be alone inside, but instead, there were five or six people standing in

ΠΕΡΙ ΤΟΥΣ.

She immediately noticed Janet standing closest to Ken.

Janet was dressed in a black business suit, with meticulously applied makeup and her long hair held up with a hairpin, seemingly ready to fall at any moment. A blend of laziness and professionalism came together harmoniously in her

appearance.

Undeniably, although she wasn’t as pretty as Mabel, Ja

As Melody sized up Janet, Janet also noticed her.

was more popular with men.

The moment their eyes met, Janet’s expression turned to one of disdain, a flash of surprise and jealousy in her eyes. She clearly did not expect to see Melody here.

Melody averted her gaze to Ken, noticing that since they parted at the restaurant, he seemed to have intentionally dressed up, his hair neatly combed, his eyebrows trimmed, looking both sharp and dignified.

He didn’t notice Melody coming in, and his handsome face was expressionless as he lowered his head to write something on paper. He said coldly, “Redo this product. Our design principle is user comfort, not these flashy gimmicks!”

The people standing, including Janet, responded in unison, “Yes”

Melody felt it was inappropriate to disturb them.

Melody was about to leave when she accidentally stepped on James behind her.

“Ouch… James inhaled sharply in pain.

The sound caught Ken’s attention, making the high–ranking officials who hadn’t noticed her turn to look curiously,

Feeling awkward, Melody apologized, “Sorry for disturbing. I’ll leave now…

She turned to go, but Ken said, “No need, sit on the sofa with James and wait”

“What?” She looked at Ken in surprise.

Ken frowned and repeated, “Sit and wait.”

The high–ranking officials‘ eyes grew more curious, seemingly asking. “Who is she?”

But, compelled by Ken’s tone, Melody could only sit on the sofa with a brave face.

James, however, didn’t dare to sit and obediently stood beside the sofa.

For a moment, only Melody and Ken were seated in the office, with everyone else standing as if awaiting a reprimand.

She felt Janet’s cold gaze once more before Janet looked away, frowning at some distant point

After the brief interruption, Ken’s focus returned to the documents, continuing the meeting.

He said, “Inform the headquarters‘ PR department not to disclose any product details or designs before they’re fully developed. Just make a concept video. Keep all product details confidential. And the marketing department…

As Melody listened, her eyes couldn’t help but fall on Ken again.

Ken, sitting against the light, made his already sharp facial features more prominent. His angular face exuded masculinity.

Those deep eyes carried seriousness and gravity, inexplicably appealing.

Perhaps knowing about Ken’s impressive alias made her look at ken with a new perspective. Today, he seemed more handsome than ever before.

Even his Adam’s apple moving up and down while he spoke was attractive.

Melody swallowed, quickly averting her gaze and said to herself inwardly, ‘We need to stay calm. This man is not someone I can or should desire.

After a while, she felt much calmer when looking at Ken.

Meanwhile, James, standing next to Melody, couldn’t help but think, ‘Why does Mr. Swanson’s voice sound more magnetic and husky than usual when he’s in a meeting today? Could it be because.

His gaze fell on Melody.

After a quick glance at Melody’s face, James quickly looked away dismissing his thoughts.

It must be because Ken had been in too many meetings and talked too much today, making his voice hoarse.

After about ten minutes, Ken finally said, “Let’s call it a day. Remember the key points I emphasized,”

“Yes!” Everyone responded in unison, both fearful and admiring of Ken.

As the executives were about to leave, Ken said again, “The HR Manager, Janet, you two stay behind.

“Yes, they said.

Janet’s gaze shifted to Melody, and then she asked Ken, “What about Miss Fox and James?”

She asked about both but clearly meant Melody, the “outsider.”

Melody instinctively stood up, but Ken said in a husky voice, “What I have to say involves her.”
