“It’s fine. I have to actively enter the lion’s den instead of being a sitting duck,” Melanie said as she patted Annie’s shoulders. “Jeffrey’s men are also stationed nearby the fragrance blending room. Don’t worry.”

Annie nodded. Since when did Jeffrey become such a great comfort to her when it came to Melanie?
