"It's different," Melody Thorne raised her head. "I know I can just have them do it, but after all, I am the head of a company now. Naturally, I need to handle things myself to improve my abilities; otherwise, how can I earn respect?"
Jared Quinn was silent for a few seconds, his large hand around her waist, no longer stopping her. As long as she's happy, she can do whatever she wants; all he needs to do is protect her from behind.
"You want to kiss me again," Melody Thorne already saw his intention and reached out a hand to block between their lips.
Her hand looked like a delicious treat too; how could he let it go?
They tussled, and a faint sound came from nearby, like someone was secretly making a call, but it also sounded like crying.
"It sounds like Yulia O'Connell," Melody Thorne looked up at the handsome face above her. "Did you hear that?"
Jared Quinn had heard it before Melody did, gave a hum, "Ignore it."
