Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker novel Chapter 154

Chapter 154 

The employees who had witnessed the entire incident couldn’t help but feel relieved that they hadn’t gotten involved and started whispering among themselves. 

“Thankfully, I didn’t meddle in their business. 

“Speaking of which, who was that ugly… lady? She said she was a family member of an employee, but the person who came down was Mr. Swanson. Could it be that they..” 

“What are you thinking” Another employee immediately denied it and said, “With Mr. Swanson’s looks, he would only go for a top–tier celebrity. right? She might just be a relative of the Swanson family” 

“But would a relative of the Swanson family dress so poorly? I bet her entire outfit doesn’t cost more than 40 dollars” 

“Alright, alright, let’s not make wild guesses. Haven’t you heard the gossip about Mr. Swanson! He’s a real tough character! People like us can’t afford to mess with him!” 

With this reminder, the gossiping employees quickly lost interest in chatting and dispersed. 

Janet happened to visit the company today to see Ken. She also looked for her informant stationed at headquarters. The news that Ken had fired the receptionist and security guards for Melody quickly reached Janet’s ears. 

Upon hearing this from her informant, Janet’s face turned grim. She had already guessed that Melody had come to see Ken 

However, she had not expected Ken to go to such lengths for Melody. She even wondered if Ken would have asked her to leave if she had been involved. 

The more Janet thought about it, the worse she felt. Her informant, oblivious to her mond, whispered, “Miss Murphy, who is that woman to Mr. Swanson? Rumors are spreading around the company that Mr. Swanson has an unusual taste and a fetish for ugliness!” 

Janet slammed the table in the meeting room hard, causing a loud bang. “Shut up”. 

The informant was startled. Janet was usually stern, but she had never lost her temper like Murphy. I was just, just” 

ke this. T 

The informant began to stammer, “Sorry, Miss 

Janet quickly realized she had overreacted. She waved her hand and salt. “It’s nothing. I just don’t want to hear anyone slandering Ken. I know him well. He would never be interested in that woman. Ele’s doing this because she once helped treat his grandmother 

Janet 

added, 

“Don’t let those strange rumors spread” 

The informant, who had received many benefits from Janet, immediately understood, “Yes! I’ll go clear Mr. Swanson’s name right away?” 

The informant turned and left the meeting room. 

As the door opened and closed, Janet saw James leading Melody toward Ken’s office. 

an appointment with Ken, who had asked her to wait in the meeting room. She thought. Why could Melody 

Janet frowned instantly. She had made an a go directly to his office? 

Barely able to contain her emotions, Janet continued to sit in the meeting room. But after just two seconds, she couldn’t stand it any longer. She stood up and left the meeting room, heading towards Ken’s office. She couldn’t allow Melody to have more privileges with Ken than she did! 

Just as Janet reached the office door, she saw Ken walking towards her. 

“Kent” Janet quickly stepped forward to meet him. 

Ken stopped 

in his tracks, his brow slightly furrowed. “Didn’t I tell you to wait for me in the meeting room?” 

Janet was already upset. She felt even more wronged by these words, her eyes turning wet “Ken, you asked me to wait in the meeting room, but you let Melody go to your office? We have known each other for many years, and you have only known her for less than a month. Does she mean more To you!” 

Ken’s expression turned even grimmer at her words. “Watch your tone!” 

Janet bit her lip in frustration, feeling her patience with Melody was nearing its limit. 

At that moment, James came out of the office. Seeing Janet and Ken facing each other, he asked in surprise, “Miss Murphy, why are you here!” 

Janet clenched her fists, forcing a stiff smile. “Yes, I have important matters to discuss.” 

She turned to Ken again and asked. “Can I go in and talk?” 

2/2 

Ken gave Janet a look, recognizing that this wasn’t the place for such a conversation. Without saying anything, he turned and walked towards the 

office. 

Janet knew this was his tacit approval. Feeling a bit relieved, she believed she still held some importance in Ken’s heart. 

With this thought, she followed him inside. Once James closed the door, she said. “Ken, you’ve only been managing headquarters for a few days. Isn’t it a bit rash to fire so many people over a small matter? If the higher–ups use this as leverage to report you to Mr. Ramon, things could get out 

of hand. 

Ken said expressionlessly, “I don’t think this is leverage. Having such a receptionist only tarnishes the company’s image.” 

Janet added, “Bu……..” 

“Enough” Ken interrupted Janet. He changed the topic and asked Melody, “What do you need to talk to me about?”
