Chapter 45 Kneel Before Me
After Vania finished speaking, she gazed at Melanie with a half-smile, wanting to see what kind of reaction the latter would have next.
Melanie, on the other hand, stared at Vania incredulously.
She is so articulate that she can turn black into white with a few sentences!
If she can’t see my sincerity after all this, then what does she want? Should I keep slapping myself, or should I find another way to apologize?
But what other way do I have?
At this point, Melanie looked at Hanson innocently, hoping that he would give her some hints.
But there was nothing from the man. He didn’t even bother looking at her, so how could there be any hints?
Seeing Melanie was stuck in a conundrum, Vania said sarcastically, “Oh—by the way, I recalled there was one time when you indiscriminately came to my house at midnight, wanting me to kneel before you and apologize. Does it ring a bell?” Vania’s words seemed to hint to Melanie on how to apologize.
Hearing that, Melanie was thunderstruck. Although Hanson knew about this, he didn’t know the details. Please don’t go any further! she prayed.
On the other hand, Vania could see through Melanie. She gave the latter a teasing look and casually continued, “Well, this matter has given me an idea. Reciprocally, you should kneel and apologize to me. If you do so, I will accept your apology.”
It was easy for Vania to say that, yet the words seemed to carry a heavy weight for Melanie to bear.
This woman dares to ask me to kneel and apologize to her?
And publicly, at that? What about my image and reputation?
