Chapter 947 I will protect you
After saying that,Melissa turned around and saw Murray.Their eyes locked,although she didn’t want her to be there but she inwardly appreciated his presence.
After a while he gave her a thumbs up,as if he knew how nervous she
“”The reporters are already here. We will start in a few minutes. Go and prepare for that first.”
It was the year’s end meeting and Murray didn’t go to his office.
It was a make or break moment. The press conference was to sustain the company’s reputation and Melissa couldn’t risk that.
“”I will join you!”A stern voice came from behind.
Melissa turned around and saw Murray was standing there. This time he wasn’t asking her but telling her. He was that powerful support that everyone would have wanted but unfortunately she didn’t.
“No,thanks.”Melissa refused subconsciously.
Without delay,she went downstairs directly.
When she reached the venue she saw many reporters were surrounded by security guards.A rush of adrenaline went into her.
Earlier she was nervous but seeing them like that she was slightly scared.At that time a hand rested on her shoulders.
The touch was enough to comfort her and calm her mind.
She didn’t need to look up to know the person as she knew that it was Murray..His tall back was like a hard support, blocking people to reach Melissa.
“Security guard,stop them from coming near Melissa.”Murray shouted loudly.
When these reporters saw Murray coming towards them, they turned in the other direction. They were scared by the sharp look that Murray was giving them.
The security guards followed the instructions given by Murray.In a short while,everything get into place and the chaos was handled well.
Meanwhile all the reporters were recorded inside and they sat in their chairs.
Even though Melissa was reluctant, Murray still followed her to the backstage as he wasn’t ready to take any risk and he wasn’t ready to trust her safety with anyone except himself.
At that moment one of her staff members came towards her and whispered in her ears, “Everything is in check now. You can start now.”
Melissa nodded silently and followed him. When those reporters came into sight,Melissa closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
“You can do this, Melissa.”She motivated herself and put on a fake professional smile and walked upto the stage.
“Hello everyone!!First of all,thank you so much for coming here.As you know I am Melissa,CEO of this company.
Without wasting much time let’s come to the point.I know a car accident of our new employee has grabbed quite a lot of attention lately.
So to give closure to some curious and fictitious minds let me clarify that our company has nothing to do with it and we have no reason to cover it up either.”
Melissa’s voice was sonorous and powerful,and her rhythmic eyes were more convincing and confident.Air was filled with the strict silence. Then Melissa further added.
“I know some of you think that our company is responsible for this accident.As you might think that Claire has some personal grudge and I had planned this.
To be honest you’re not wrong if you think like that as things are presented like this. But let me tell you that before making any judgment please listen to this recording.”
Then, Melissa took out her phone and put the microphone on the play key.She clicked on the recording with Claire.
It was her conversation with Claire which she had in the hospital.She was relieved that it was all recorded.
At that moment the voice of Claire was echoing in the surrounding. Although everyone felt that it was Valire but they were unwilling to believe that it was real Claire.
Some of them sighed and started discussing in front of each other.
“What’s going on?Did Claire do this to herself?”There was an utter astonishment in their voices.
“That’s impossible. I’ve been in touch with Claire for a long time and I’ve never thought that she is such a cunning person. Why the hell did she risk her own life?”Not only them but Murray couldn’t believe his ears either.His eyes were fixed on Melissa and thought there was more to what it was looking at.
