Tina shot a look at Elsabeth and whispered, “Elsie, I think we should give them the room!”
Elsabeth was puzzled, but she followed Tina out of the office.
As soon as they were outside, Elsabeth asked eagerly, “Who is he?”
Austin replied, “Oh,e on. By the looks of it, who else can it be? I’m pretty sure he’s Melody’s first
love!”
Elsabeth rolled her eyes at Austin and said, “I didn’t ask you.”
Elsabeth then looked at Tina for confirmation.
Tina replied awkwardly, “Well, I’m not sure because they never made their rtionship public. If I
remember correctly, they were deskmates
at university.
“At that time, ine was head over heels with our chancellor’s daughter, and word had it that he often
borrowed money from Melody. I think they’re just friends.”
A hint of sadness shed across Tina’s eyes.
She had a crush on ine during her university years.
However, she felt she was not good enough for him back then, so she kept her feelings to herself.
Meanwhile, in the office, ine gazed at Melody like a lovestruck
teenager and said, “You’re even more beautiful now, Melody!”
“Thanks. Why isn’t Jessie with you?”
Melody replied, keeping her voice devoid of emotion.
ineughed stiffly and replied, “We divorced five years ago.”
Melody stared at him skeptically and asked, “Five years ago? So what, you guys were only married for
like two years?”
Everybody knew ine and Jessie were madly in love during their university years. They were a model
couple.
ine took a deep breath and said, “She became apletely different person after we got married.
She was always angry over the tiniest things. Besides, I had just started a business at the time, so I
didn’t have the time or energy to deal with her…”
Melody pursed her lips and said, “I see. So I assume you were the one who initiated the divorce in the
end?”
Jessie was the chancellor’s daughter and the university’s beauty
queen.
Unlike Melody, Jessie had a warm personality and was always
smiling.
For that reason, almost every boy had a crush on her-including
Melody’s first love, ine.
ine sighed. “It takes two people to make a rtionship work. If I were to focus on her, I’d be unable
to give her financial stability. But if I were to focus on my work, I’d be neglecting her feelings instead!”
Melody smiled and said, “Well, it sounds like you’ve been through
some hard-times. What are you doing here anyway? Are you here to pay me back the money you
borrowed?”
Melody lent him a lot of money during her university years, probably at least a few million dors.
ine’s lips curled into a smile as he replied, “I founded my own
Melody looked at him in confusion and said, “Uhh… So you’re here to
show off?”
This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.
He shook his head and smiled. “I don’t mean that. I just wanted to let you know I can give you the
things you want. I’m even willing to let you take control of mypany!”
ine did some digging and knew that Melody was still single and
unmarried.
He even managed to find a bunch of her photos online.
He realized that Melody had be more mature-looking since hel university days. More beautiful too.
She was one of the beauty queens back then. Now, she looked more
elegant than ever.
ine had been improving himself so that he would be worthy of her.
“As you can see, I’m doing quite well. I’m not interested in your affairs! “Melody replied casually.
ine shed her a warm smile. “I know I’m still not good enough for you, but that’s okay. It takes time
to build a rtionship. I heard you’ve been having difficulties with the Evestely. Why not let me

help you?”
Melody shook her head and said, “I appreciate it, but I don’t need your
help. I’m totally capable of dealing with the Eves myself. Besides, even if there’s something I can’t
handle, I can always rely on my
boyfriend to help me!”
“Your boyfriend?”
