Next day in the morning, Leena was surrounded by the various weekly journals and newspapers, as well as the rumors. Looking at those newspapers and journals on her desk, she could not help twisting her mouth heavily. The contents in them were even more absurd. She really did not have the heart to read them. A rising star in the fashion field trying to seduce Blanc's successor? An ambitious woman aiming at becoming the daughter-in-law of a rich family? They even fabricated a wedding date! What was wrong with them? Did they go insane? Leena could not believe her eyes when reading this nonsense. Fortunately, most of the reports centered on her road to the fashion industry. So not all of those media companies and journalists focused on the nonexistent love story between her and Gerard. It made her feel better. What was more, those rumors were reported in France but not in her home country so Kevin was unable to see them. Otherwise, Leena would really be scared of Kevin's reaction to all that gossip. She did not think he was generous enough to let them go as a soldier. After all, he was not in the fashion industry, so he didn't make the tabloids, and did not know that sometimes the media liked to make things up to get more clicks or sell more papers.
What happened in Paris had no influence on S city at all. All those rumors concerning Leena were nothing to people here. It was still shining without any dark clouds in the sky. Everything was going so well, except that the woman named Melissa Xue always tried to stir up trouble.
At this time there was a casual atmosphere in a Presidential Suite at Kate Hotel. Several pairs of underwear belonging to both man and woman lay spread on the ground, and two naked bodies sprawled on the bed.
"Shaun, so how many shares of FX International Group's department stores do you own now?" Melissa put her white legs on Shaun Gao's body. She clung tightly to him and sweat was dripping off. Obviously, they just had enjoyed a luxurious coupling.
"Don't worry! I've already purchased 40 percent of their shares. But they didn't notice it at all! What fools! I thought their CEO was a smart man, but not so much anymore. So, you can just wait and see how I will defeat Edward Mu. There will be a time he'll beg me to save him!" Shaun laughed loudly as if everything would go as he expected. He had thought FX International Group's CEO was a miracle in the business field. Now he concluded that that was not true at all and he was just an ordinary businessman without any talent. He overestimated him.
"Don't look down on your enemy. A big company like FX International Group always has a perfect safety net. You'd better be more careful. Or you may fall into a trap without even realizing it. I'm worried about you." Melissa had known Edward for years. She didn't think that he was a careless man. So she could not help feeling worried about it when Shaun Gao was already celebrating the success. Although Shaun was quite confident about himself, she was not so sure. After all, if Edward was that easy to deal with, he would not have managed a big company so well. FX still had every advantage in this situation.
"Hum! How much can you expect from a man who looks more beautiful than a woman? He doesn't scare me in the slightest. The only advantage he has is that he's more handsome than I am. That's it. I don't think I need to be too careful about him. He doesn't deserve my special attention." Shaun laughed arrogantly. He did not take Melissa's worries seriously. She was just a worrywart. He reached out and pinched Melissa's naked breast with his big hand. A light of lust flashed through his eyes.
"Ouch! That hurts!" Melissa pushed Shaun a little, pretending to get angry. But her soft action was actually an invitation. She knew how to take advantage of her beautiful face and hot figure to lure a man.
"Oh, you little bitch. You are so hot. I want to do everything with you. I'm just a fish you have reeled in." Shaun was an erotic man. How could he reject flirting from a woman like Melissa Xue?
