I Became His Sweetheart by Bright Eyes

Chapter 19 Reelecting the Chairman

It was good that Lena was here. It saved Melanie the trouble of looking for her.

Melanie walked past the reporters and overheard their questions.

“Lena, Melanie Jones is your manager and your cousin. Why is she competing with you for a spot at the International Socialites Gala? Are you not getting along?”

“How was she selected by the judges? Is there some foul play involved?”

Lena, with an innocent expression, exclaimed, “No way! It must be a misunderstanding. Melanie isn’t like that. She’s a capable person with great ideas. Over the past two years, she’s the one who’s sealed all of my business deals. She even manages things in Jones Enterprise. She’s amazing.”

“Are you saying Melanie Jones has the support of Jones Enterprise and knows how to get things done behind the scenes?” The reporters interpreted Lena’s implications perfectly.

Lena covered her mouth with her hand, pretending to have made a slip of the tongue. Her assistant stepped in to protect her, saying.” Please stop asking. Lena is very naive when it comes to business matters.”

Melanie continued walking past the crowd, a hint of mockery on her lips. What a show Lena was putting on!

She did not have time to bother with Lena’s insinuations. Let Lena dance happily a little longer. Melanie was eager to see how Lena would continue her innocent act when her misdeeds were exposed to the entire Harbor City.
