Lifelong Companion novel Chapter 33

Melissa woke from a nightmare just before dawn.

She stretched out her hand and wiped the sweat from her forehead. Then Melissa struggled to sit up.

The unfamiliar room inexplicably made her heart pound.

However, she felt a little bit relieved when she saw the familiar figure around her.

When Melissa reached out her hands to touch, she found that her body was sore and painful as if it would be torn apart if she moved a little.

With a weird smile on his face, Aaron turned to look at Melissa. He said gently, "From now on, you are my secretary. Being employed by my company officially, you will get a handsome reward."

With no enough physical strength, Melissa had no choice but to nod in agreement.

His few simple words meant the beginning of her endless grind.

Up to now, Melissa still didn't understand why Aaron kept her by his side. Didn't he dislike her when they first met? He even abandoned her on the street.

After organizing her scattered thoughts a little, Melissa then looked at Aaron again and asked timidly. "Well... My brother, he... How is he now? "

As Aaron slightly rose the corner of his mouth and adjusted his clothes, he teased, "Everything will be fine as long as you behave well."

Melissa nodded timidly. She stopped talking and began to tidy up her messy clothes. She then accidentally saw the white gauze on her leg.

That was where her leg twitched yesterday...

Did Aaron do it?

Just when she was about to ask, the door of the lounge was pushed open by Aaron and he walked out. Therefore, he just happened to miss the grateful look of Melissa.

Sitting at the desk, Aaron kneaded his temple in a trance.

He should hate this woman... But why when he saw her like that yesterday, he actually had an illusion that he could not bear to see her like that.

Taking a deep breath, Aaron leaned his head back a little and then he spoke in a low voice, "Is it an illusion? I suppose so."

On the other side, Melissa pushed the door open obediently and stood in front of Aaron, and then she was at a loss what to do. Being a secretary was a domain that she had never explored. She was afraid that she would accidentally touch the bottom line of Aaron.

The moment the door was pushed open, Aaron seemed to change into a completely different person. With a straight face, he coldly raised his head and stared at Melissa. "What are you doing here?"

"I don't know, I..."

He raised his hand and pointed at the door. Then Aaron became aggressive and said, "I don't want to keep any waste. You'd better be well prepared. The secretary room is next door. I've arranged your task today, and you don't need me to tell you more. Get out!"

If it were not for him, she would never be in such a position...

Being suddenly roared by him, Melissa was stunned for a long time then she stammered, "I, I know..."

In a dejected manner, Melissa turned around and walked out, meeting a woman who had a professional smile on her face.

The woman was not as enchanting as Lois. Instead, she looked energetic and capable.

The woman made a gesture of welcome nobly and then said respectfully, "Miss Melissa, please follow me. I will introduce you the things you need to do. You can call me Christine."
