Jenna was stunned. “How did you know?”
“It’s no wonder your designs are so good.” Melvin clapped his hands, realization dawning upon him. That explained why he thought she was familiar when he first caught sight of Jenna during the birthday party. He couldn’t help but to say with a sigh, “Ms. Murphy, I’m so sorry that I couldn’t recognize you. As a car designer myself, I am terribly ashamed for not recognizing you sooner.”
He had been in the car design industry for so many years, yet he had not recognized Jenna. Nevertheless, he could not be blamed. After all, this matter was too bizarre. Jenna was the spouse of Hansen, so she should not have been in Srirano in the first place. What was more shocking was that she appeared by Steffan’s side, serving as a designer for Yintern Group. Moreover, Steffan openly proclaimed that she was his girlfriend. It would be no mean feat to relate one unimagined thing to another.
As Melvin said these words, the surprise on Jenna’s face disappeared and she buried herself in her thoughts.
“Now, this sounds more like it.” These words made Hansen happy. Up until then, apart from Alvin, the only person who could recognize Jenna’s talent was this hateful person named Melvin.
The fact that Melvin was able to recognize Jenna had indeed encouraged Hansen. His loathing for him had dissipated quite a bit, and the color on his face had also eased.
Melvin walked out of the room with his mind filled with incredulity.
In between the days, he had come over multiple times to discuss work with Jenna. Most of the time when he came in, he could see Hansen, who stayed by Jenna’s side like a guardian angel. He’d feel a chill in his heart and quickly retreated.
With that, Jenna’s and Melvin’s car design collaboration was smooth-sailing. With the increasing frequency of communications with Melvin, Jenna found that they both had very similar views and concepts. There wasn’t a barrier between them. With these similarities, the two of them got much closer.
With Hansen guarding by her side, Melvin behaved quite the proper man with Jenna. This made Jenna feel even more satisfied. After a long time, the two became much more familiar with each other. The previous obstacles buried deep in their heart also disappeared, building a common ground.
However, Melvin was still unhappy with the fact that Hansen had hit him. He always complained in front of Jenna while Hansen was busy. From time to time, he called Hansen a ‘demon’.
Jenna just smiled and didn’t answer him.
“Hey, can you give me exclusive news in exchange for our successful cooperation in the past few days?” Melvin took his blueprint and came over to Jenna. Taking advantage of the fact that Hansen was going to be busy with the chairman’s welcoming event, he couldn’t hide his great curiosity and asked Jenna with a wink.
“What is it?” Jenna raised her head in puzzlement.
“You know… Do you really like Hansen, or do you like Steffan? Is Steffan your ex-boyfriend? I’m guessing that you were kidnapped by that ‘demon’, but deep down you actually love Steffan. Am I right? So you secretly came to work at his company. It must be like this, right?” Melvin was spouting nonsense, with his eyes flashing with mischievousness, and the smile on the corners of his mouth was very annoying.
In fact, after the birthday banquet, all the news was put to a halt by Madam Lilian. He did not know that Jenna had lost her memory. This matter was too much for him to be curious about. He had long wanted to ask, but since Hansen guarded her fiercely every day, he hadn’t had a chance to do so.
“You are such a nuisance!” Jenna was both angry and amused by his question, so she had to scold him.
“Oh, don’t be ungrateful. I really don’t care to inquire about other people’s affairs.” Melvin continued to press on passionately, with a treacherous smile on his face. “I do think that Steffan is in love with you, but it seems like Hansen has defeated him.”
Jenna sat up straight and said in a serious manner, “Master Adames, I think if you restrain yourself from other women, then you will be a good man. You have the demeanor of a promising man. You’re serious, no-nonsense in your work, and you’re not sloppy at all.”
Upon hearing this, Melvin curled his lips and said scornfully, “What a joke. How could you question my masculinity and charm? How about I treat you to lunch today? Let me have a good talk with you about men, and I’ll analyze your current situation, guiding you on the correct path.”
As he said this, he sidled up to Jenna, trying to wrap an arm around her shoulders. She immediately dodged it, with her beautiful eyebrows raised questioningly.
“Don’t worry, you have that demon by your side. No matter how desperate I am, I won’t fall for you. I’m doing this for your own good.” Melvin dropped his arms and chuckled. He lowered his head, catching the uneasy expression on Jenna’s face. Only then did he realize that he really should change his habitual action of hugging a woman whenever he saw one.
Jenna raised her eyebrows, squinted at him, and said, “I’m talking about you. Hurry up and find a partner for Aunt Libera so that she won’t have to worry about you.” After saying this, she asked in a mysterious voice, “Can you tell me what is the relationship between her and Mr. Tangger?”
One moment Melvin was laughing out loud, the next moment his face fell. “Hey, I asked you a question first. Stop picking on me. Forget it, it’s boring, I’m leaving.”
As he spoke, his face was covered in a layer of ice. Mist began to rise from his body as he strode out.
Jenna stared at his back blankly.
“Jenna, what are you thinking about?” As soon as Melvin left, Hansen came in from the small door in the bathroom. When he saw Jenna’s dazed look, his face changed slightly and he immediately asked, “Did that Melvin creep bully you again?”
“No, there’s no such thing.” Afraid that he would misunderstand the situation, Jenna immediately shook her head and denied it.
“Then, why is my wife so absent-minded? Is she thinking about her husband?” Hansen grinned. He walked to her and put his hand on her waist, drawing circles on her waist. His words were full of passion, and his expression was ambiguous and affectionate.
In the past few days, under the care of Jenna, his eyes seemed to recover very quickly. Of course, Alvin had also invited a few top-notch doctors from the United States for him. Therefore, his vision had vastly improved.
“Stop it.” Jenna pushed his hand away with her hand and murmured, “Why do I have a feeling that Melvin bears a resemblance to Mr. Tangger?”
Upon hearing this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Hansen’s mouth. “Silly woman, so it turns out that you’re thinking about this problem. If you have any questions, then why don’t you come and ask your husband? You’re so stupid.”
“Do you know something I don’t?” Jenna exclaimed.
