When Yulia saw Melinda sitting in the living room of the main villa, she felt unbearable nervous.
For the last few days, something had changed in Melinda's behavior. She couldn't have suddenly changed for no reason. Anytime they met, Melinda was always guarded as if she was trying to protect herself from something.
Yulia couldn't hold her back anymore. She assumed that Melinda must have found out what she had done.
Knowing what Melinda would do to her if she really found out what she had done, Yulia got flustered anytime she was near Melinda. She didn't know what she was going to do if her plot had been exposed and Melinda was aware of everything that had been happening.
Now that her schemes had been found out by Melinda, Yulia had to find a way to contain everything, so her only option would be to come up with more creative ways of dealing with Melinda.
Right at that moment, Emily came to her mind. She was her accomplice, so Emily was the only one who she could talk to about Melinda and come up with a strategy on what to do with her.
Yulia took out her phone and dialed Emily's number. It didn't even past the second ring before Emily answered on the other end.
"Hello, may I speak to Miss Bai?"
"Yes, this is her speaking."
As soon as Emily saw that the call was from Yulia, she knew that something must have happened. Otherwise, Yulia would not call her if it wasn't important.
It must have something to do with Melinda.
Emily secretly sneered while holding the phone, eagerly waiting to hear what it was.
"Do you think you can create some time on your schedule so that we can have a private meeting? I need to see you so that we can discuss something face to face."
Yulia did not beat around the bush, but got straight to the point and explained her purpose for calling Emily.
Thus, Yulia made an appointment to meet Emily so that they could discuss their next plan of action and come up with countermeasures against Melinda.
The last time they had talked, she had called Emily and told her about Melinda's whereabouts, but Melinda seemed to have been aware of what they had planned and so the matter was revealed.
Therefore, Yulia thought that this time it was better for them to solve their issues and strategize face to face instead of exposing themselves over the phone once again.
Besides, this time she had cautiously organized their meeting point with Emily so that Melinda couldn't find out that they had been meeting.
So Yulia arrived at the venue where they had agreed to meet early in the morning, a few minutes before the time they had agreed on.
The cafe was located in a secluded place and there were very few people. It was very suitable for her and Emily to discuss their issues because Melinda did not frequent the cafe.
Yulia had arrived early so she made herself comfortable as she waited for Emily to arrive.
With Emily's help, even if Melinda found out, there was nothing much she could do about them.
By the time Emily arrived at their table, she found that Yulia was already there waiting for her and had ordered something for them to eat.
Emily sat opposite her without hesitation.
"Tell me, what do you want to discuss with me?"
Emily asked immediately when she had made herself comfortable.
Leaning against the back of the chair, she seemed quite relaxed. It seemed that of late she had been getting along well with Jonas.
Shooting a glance at Emily, Yulia stated quietly, "Melinda knows."
"What do you mean? How did she find out?"
Emily was a little surprised after she heard Yulia's statement. She hadn't expected that Melinda would find out so quickly.
"She must have sensed something unusual, because when I called you to report her whereabouts she popped out of nowhere. She must have found out our plan."
After she finished giving an account of what happened, Yulia looked at Emily expectantly. But Emily was not as relaxed as before, as if she had something in her mind.
"What should we do next?"
Yulia asked impatiently after seeing that Emily was not responding. It was as if she was lost in her own thoughts.
She was growing impatient because the main reason why she had come out to meet Emily was for them to discuss this very issue and come up with an airtight strategy.
"It doesn't matter. Don't panic. Besides what can Melinda do even if she finds out our plans? She has no evidence."
Emily comforted the panic stricken Yulia after coming out of her reverie.
Emily was not afraid that Melinda knew what they were doing. On the contrary, even if Melinda knew what they had been up to, she could not do anything to them. It was useless to say anything without evidence, even if there was evidence, she would never admit to it.
Besides, she had Jonas. Emily knew that he had a lot of feelings for her and by the time everything would be revealed, maybe things would be different by then.
Actually, Emily did not care much about the result at all. However, when she looked at Yulia, who was sitting opposite her, she noticed that the issue must really be stressing her so she decided to discuss with her about what they could do next.
Although she didn't care much about the whole issue, she still had to deal with Melinda. She could only make her moves after having a discussion with Yulia so that they were not contradicting each other.
