Chapter 424 Old Man

“What else do you know?” Annie’s gossip radar started ringing.

Melanie told Annie about her bumping into Adam at the airport.

“In that case, Adam O’Shea probably doesn’t know that he just got himself a new partner?” Annie.

asked.

Melanie nodded. “Based on what he said at that time, the finale of the show is a solo segment.”

Annie’s face lit up. “I’ll get someone to check things out on Adam’s end right away.”

Melanie fed Annie a piece of grilled meat, which Annie gobbled up before saying, “If he doesn’t yet

know that he suddenly has a troublemaker for a partner, I’ll have someone inform him about it! Ha ha

ha!”

“Thank you very much for that. Don’t choke,” Melanie laughed out loud, too.

A distance away, Kelly was having her meal, surrounded by a few other women.

Seeing Melanie and Annie chatting and laughing away, looking unperturbed by her provocation just

now, made Kelly stand up in frustration. She crooked her finger to signal her subordinate to follow her

to a quiet corner, where she gave him some instructions.

“Confirm things with Mr. Wright once more. I feel slightly uneasy about it.”

Her subordinate left and returned once more, saying, “Mr. Wright said nothing will go wrong with him

around. He even wanted me to tell you to have a meal with him one night whenever you’re

free.”

Kelly berated him in her frustration, “That old lecher! I approached him only because he works for Ms.

Yancey. How dare he lust after me!”

“Miss, won’t he do his best for you if you keep rejecting him?” her subordinate asked.

“Men are all the same, heh,” Kelly sneered. “That old man wastes all his intellect on fooling around with

women. The more I play hard to get with him, the more he’ll do my bidding like an obedient dog panting

for a bone. I won’t give him anything before he satisfies me!”

“Oh yes, miss. When I came back from meeting Mr. Wright, I passed by two staff members

working for Adam O’Shea. I think I overheard them saying that Melanie also wants to partner with

Adam on the runway…” her subordinate reported.

“What?!”

Kelly burst out laughing after recovering from her shock. She turned around and looked straight at

Melanie and Annie, before marching toward them without any hesitation.

“I thought you were all high and mighty, but you ended up begging for a chance to partner with Adam

while pretending to be indifferent about it! Who do you think Adam is? Would he ever be willing to

partner with you?”

Melanie and Annie were enjoying their meal, and didn’t expect to see someone provoking them in

the middle of it. They looked up and saw that it was Ms. Murray once again.

“Do you have a screw loose or something?”

Annie could no longer hold herself back. She slammed her spoon on the table and stood up,

folding her arms across her chest and glaring back at Kelly.

Kelly was stunned by Annie’s words. “What did you just say?”

Just then, someone walked up to Annie and whispered something into her ear. Annie’s eyes lit up

as she winked at Melanie.

Melanie immediately caught on.

“I’ve been wanting to say this for the longest time!”

Annie yelled out loud, feeling more confident from her subordinate’s update, deliberately attracting the

attention of everyone around them.

“You have issues! And severe ones at that! Instead of enjoying your meal, you ran up here to spout

nonsense to our faces. Are you sure you don’t need to check yourself into an asylum?”

Annie was coarse in her language, but her logic was impeccable. Melanie sat by her side, wiping the

corners of her mouth with a napkin and feeling the rush of adrenaline in her veins.

“Melanie Jones, I think you and your friend right here are the nut jobs!”

Kelly started being more careful with her words upon seeing the crowd gathering around them.

“Although I can understand your desire to be in the limelight, you must have some self- awareness.

There are some things that just don’t belong to you!”

“Alright, that’s enough nonsense.” Melanie stood up, and grabbed Annie’s hand. “Let’s see who it

belongs to, then.”

Melanie and Annie exchanged glances, barely able to contain their excitement.

Kelly didn’t understand. “What do you mean by that?”

“You’ll know when you get there.”

Melanie and Annie turned around and led the way. Kelly saw how confident they were and started to be

fearful, but with so many people around, she had no choice but to follow them, still keeping

her head held high.

“Fine, I’ll go! As if I’m scared of you!”

They took the elevator up to the 79th floor, where the superior executive suite was located. There

was a crowd gathered outside Adam’s room, from which a frustrated voice could be heard.

The two women behind Kelly didn’t understand what was going on, and asked the staff members

stuck outside the door about it.

They explained, “Adam heard that Ms. Yancey arranged a partner for him. He’s so upset about it, he

flared up right there and then…”
