Chapter 26 Uncle Jeffrey

A person got down from the car and stood respectfully in front of their vehicle. Melanie immediately recognized him. It was the assistant who stood behind Jeffrey Morgan’s wheelchair during the gala selections.

Recalling her agreement with Stephen the previous day, she exchanged a few words with Annie and got out to join the assistant.

“Miss Melanie, I’m here to take you to the Morgans‘ residence to meet the old madam,” the assistant said, handing her several pages of documents.

“Wasn’t it supposed to be this weekend?” she asked.

*The old madam returned from abroad ahead of schedule and wishes to meet you immediately,” the assistant explained.

“Very well.”

Observing her elaborate attire, Melanie hesitated for a moment before saying, “Please drop me off at home first so I can change into more suitable attire.”

The assistant, not wanting to make decisions on his own, picked up the phone and dialed Jeffrey Morgan’s number. He then handed the phone to Melanie. “Miss Melanie, the president would like to speak with you.”

Melanie answered the call. On the other end, Jeffrey’s cold voice came across. “There are some documents in the car for you to familiarize with. You might face some questions later. Make sure you don’t get it wrong.”

Melanie furrowed her brow.

As she glanced over the documents, they contained information about birthdays, preferences, and habits. When she saw that his preferences included reading and meditation, Melanie could not help but chuckle.
