His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Chapter 53: Big Boss Opened the Car Door for Her 

Melody looked at Atty.Lewis with a straight face and nodded her head.She already felt like it took her forever to read all the documents, even if it was just more than an hour.

"I'm done.I've basically memorized all the information in these documents.There shouldn't be a problem dealing with the projects of the Sullivan Group.I'll contact you if I have questions regarding these.’' Melody spoke in a monotonous tone.

The new chairman's voice was filled with nothing but coldness.

Not even one emotion could be traced whenever she would speak.

But upon hearing Melody's words, Atty.Lewis felt offended.

He just went too far by promising her that he would lend his hand and help her with whatever she needed.

How he really bit off more than he could chew.

It took Melody an hour to finish reading all the documents.

Just an hour! She also remembered all of them! Was Alistair really saying the truth when he told him that Melody needed him? When Melody got up and started walking towards the door, Atty.Lewis quickly followed her.

He finally realized why Alistair was so determined to let Melody come back and inherit their family's property.

With Melody and her abilities, the Sullivan Group had a much better chance to succeed and flourish.

As long as she was willing, she could make the Sullivan Group become invincible and remain on top forever.

When they arrived downstairs, Atty.Lewis talked to Melody's driver and was about to ask where Melody was heading so he could make arrangements.

Before they could say anything, a tall man suddenly appeared in front of them.He looked very handsome but his cold aura was hard to miss.He seemed to lack any affection.

Atty.Lewis looked at him for a while before he recognized him.He was the assistant of Seth Harrison, the Harrison family's heir.

The man standing in front of them was Austin.

But why and how did he get here? Confused, Atty.Lewis glanced at Melody, who was standing beside him.

Unlike Atty.Lewis, Melody didn't seem to be surprised by Austin's sudden appearance.

She looked calm and stoic as usual.

Austin fixed his cold gaze at the unfazed Melody and lowered his head to show his respect.

"Good day, Ms.Sullivan.My boss, Mr.Seth Harrison, knows that you have come to the Sullivan Group, and he wanted me to come and find you.If you wouldn't mind, will you please come with me?" Austin asked her.

Melody scowled as she listened to Austin's statement.

Wasn't he the man who was mostly known as aloof and reserved by other people? Why was he suddenly acting like her shadow and following her like a pest now? Melody remained standing as she

got lost in her thoughts.

She wasn't surprised that Seth knew what she had on her mind.

After all, the Harrison family was known to have such great skills and intelligence.

They wouldn't be one of the leading companies in California for so many years if they weren't.

The last time that she met with Seth, he treated her to dinner before he gave her money.

What did he want with her this time? Melody wasn't a big fan of being kept in the dark.She raised her head and looked at Austin intently.

The man instantly knew what she meant.

Austin lowered his head politely and gestured his hand, asking Melody to follow him.

At that moment, Melody went with Austin and Atty.

Lewis didn't bother to follow her anymore.

He was her fiance after all.

How terrible it was for an old man like him to follow a couple around? They should spend their time alone.

Seth's car was parked near the building's entrance.

Austin immediately opened the car's door for Melody.

As soon as the car door opened, Melody caught a glimpse of the man waiting inside.

There were a lot of good-looking men in this world, but Seth's handsome features were definitely on another level.

Also, the aura that he gave off was unique.

Melody had never met someone in her life with the same aura as Seth.

Melody went inside the car and sat beside Seth. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

The latter's gaze immediately fell on her.

His dark and deep gaze twinkled as he looked at her.

Melody stared at Seth as well.

Her expression remained stoic, and her eyes were cold and distant.

Raising her eyebrow, she kind of sensed why Seth wanted to see her all of a sudden.

Looking at Melody's facial expression, Seth felt more and more interested in her.

This Melody was like a ball of mystery.

The more she learned things about Seth, the harder it was for her to cut the relationship with him.

Today, Seth was informed that Melody had gone to the Sullivan Group to become the next chairman of their company.

'She will inherit the position of the chairman? How would she be able to handle that?' Seth thought to himself.

He smiled faintly.

If Melody really wanted to do it, then he would be willing to help and support her.

He just didn't expect that when he abandoned his work and rushed to Melody to check on her, he already received the news that Quince Sullivan agreed to let Melody take the position of chairman.

That really surprised Seth.

Seth shook his head.

This girl once again surprised him with her abilities.

Even he couldn't find out how she did it.

That moment, Seth instantly believed that Melody had a big chance of winning the three-month agreement she made with the Sullivan family.

Seth stretched out his arm, his hand stopped in front of Melody, waiting for her to hold it.

"Congratulations, Chairman Sullivan!" Seth exclaimed, emphasizing the last words, obviously teasing her.

His voice was low and deep.

He really knew how much his looks and voice could charm anyone.

Even Melody, who had always been unbothered and felt indifferent with such things, was moved by Seth's alluring voice.

Her gaze landed on his hand.

His veins were protruding on his arms, his fingers were long and slender, and his nails looked perfectly clean.

Melody was eyeing his hand carefully that she didn't even miss a single detail.

To Seth's disappointment, Melody chose not to shake hands with him.

It wasn't like she hated him, but Melody didn't like being touched by other people.

No matter how charming Seth might look, she still wouldn't want to be touched by him.

"Thank you” She replied dryly, there was no hint of warmth or excitement in her voice.

At the driver's seat, Austin looked at them through the rearview mirror.

It was his first time to see someone treat Seth like that.

He adjusted in his seat uncomfortably.

Sweat started to form on his forehead as he glanced at both of them.

Looking at Melody's small frame, she wouldn't be able to withstand him if he would flip out.

When Austin glanced at him again, his mouth went agape.

Seth withdrew his hand casually, no hint of anger could be traced from his face.

He didn't even look embarrassed.

It was as if he was already used to Melody's arrogance and indifference.

Austin couldn't believe what he just saw.

And Seth was indeed on a different level.

He still looked cool and handsome despite being rejected by Melody.

"Since everything has been settled between you and the Sullivans, what are you going to do next? Do you have somewhere else to go to? Why don't we eat lunch together?"

Seth asked her casually.

Melody looked at him with a confused expression.

'Why did he always want to eat meals with me?' She thought to herself.

"I'm not hungry.Besides, I want to find a place to sleep." She replied.

Seth frowned, obviously not pleased with Melody's answer.

He didn't even ask for her opinion when he decided to eat in a restaurant with her.

He knew that if he would ask her, he would be rejected.

Just like what she just did.

As if he didn't hear Melody's reply, Seth looked at Austin.

"Go to The Ritz!"He instructed.

The Ritz is a five-star restaurant.

Judging from its classic name, anyone could tell that this restaurant most likely served European cuisine.

The car parked in front of the glamorous entrance of The Ritz.

Seth got out of the car first and walked around to the other side.

He opened the car door and waited for Melody to get out.

Austin had already informed the restaurant of Seth and Melody's in advance, so the couple wouldn't need to wait much longer for their table and food.

Everyone in the restaurant knew what kind of person Seth was.

When they heard that he was coming, they all stood straight and waited for him.

However, they never expected that the prominent businessman would ever open a car's door for someone.

It was their first time seeing him act like that.

Maybe he was with someone more influential and powerful than him? Melody glanced at the place through the car's window.

The decorations of the restaurant were obviously just artificial, but they still looked pretty.

Since she had not eaten yet, Melody decided to eat with Seth.

After all, he already brought her here.

Her fine and slender legs slowly fell out of the car.

Everyone at the entrance stared at her as soon as she got out of the car.

Although she was just wearing a simple white dress, the way she carried it made the clothing look very expensive.

With her exquisite facial features, Melody was really good-looking.

She could even pass as a supermodel just from the way she looked and carried herself.
