Chapter 956

Jeremy indeed did not believe Madeline now. As such, he went to Whitman Corporation with her to watch her.

The employees in the company were shocked when they saw Jeremy.

“I-Isn’t that Mr. Whitman?”

“How is that possible? Didn’t he die in that accident three months ago?”

“Ghosts can’t appear in the morning, right?” A few timid employees ran away when they saw Jeremy.

Jeremy noticed the employees’ reaction but was already used to it.

He followed Madeline to her lab and saw all kinds of tools and spices arranged neatly. Then, he started admiring them.

For some reason, he felt like he had been here before.

Madeline put on her white coat and mask before mixing the fragrances.

However, she could not finish this in just a few hours. In the process, Madeline heard Jeremy taking a call. It sounded like it was from Lana. His tone was so gentle. Before this, he would only use this tone with her and not with any other woman.

After Madeline was done with the mixing, she wanted to drink some water. At this moment, her secretary Coco came looking for her. She told her that Ryan was here for her and he was waiting at the reception.

Madeline looked at Jeremy. “Can I go and meet my friend?”

“Is it Ryan?”

“Yeah, it’s him, Naomi Lionel’s fiancé. Naomi is your woman’s best friend, so you should know them, right?”

Jeremy curled the corners of his lips in interest. “You deliberately emphasized how Lana is my woman.

Could it be that you’re jealous?”

“I would be if you’re my husband, but you’re not.” Madeline turned around and walked out after she said that nonchalantly.

When Ryan saw Madeline’s outfit, he asked curiously, “Are you blending fragrances in your lab?”

“Yeah.” Madeline nodded. “Do you need me for something, Mr. Jones?”

“I’m sorry for what happened that day. I didn’t think she’d do something so horrible.” Ryan apologized sincerely. “My parents want to invite you over for dinner as an apology. I wonder if you’re free tonight, Mrs. Whitman?”

“There’s no need for you to go to such an extent. Plus, I’m pretty busy recently.” Madeline declined.

“Mr. Jones, I still have something I need to do.”

Ryan looked at Madeline dispiritedly. Then, he smiled. “I’ll ask you out again next time.”

“Okay.” Madeline smiled back before walking away.

However, when she was about to, she heard Ryan calling out, “Watch out!”

Madeline saw an employee playing on his phone with his head lowered, and he was walking over to her with a cup of hot coffee. Madeline quickly dodged away and crashed into Ryan’s chest with her back.

Ryan held Madeline’s shoulders reflexively. When he looked at Madeline who was in his arms, his eyes softened. “Are you okay, Mrs. Whitman?”

Madeline removed herself from Ryan instantly. “Thanks, I’m fine.”

The employee apologized frantically, “I’m so sorry, Mrs. Whitman. I didn’t notice you there. I’m so sorry!”

“Don’t walk and play with your phone next time,” Madeline said. Then, she turned around and walked away.

However, when she got back to her lab, she did not see Jeremy anywhere.

She found that it was strange, and when she was about to walk in to take a look, she felt someone approaching her from behind.

She turned around when Jeremy held her. “Why did you let him hold you?”

“…” Madeline was stunned. She did not think Jeremy would ask this kind of question in his current state of mind.

He did not know her anymore, so why did he have so much jealousy in his voice?

However, he was holding her even tighter now. “I don’t think I like seeing you have any physical contact with another man. Eveline, am I really the man you think about every night and day?”
