She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 298

At the Stellaris PharmaTech branch office.

Melanie had been standing in the lobby waiting for Preston for a while, and her legs were starting to ache.

Just as she stood on her tiptoes, craning her neck to look inside, a jacket was suddenly draped over her shoulders.

Melanie turned and came face-to-face with Preston.

Their eyes met, and both of them froze.

It was as if time had stopped, and everything around them had disappeared.

In Melanie’s eyes, there was only Preston.

In Preston’s eyes, there was only Melanie.

Reflected in Melanie’s eyes, Preston’s face was as handsome as ever.

But it was much cleaner than the last time they’d met.

The last time had been at the scene of the fire.

That image had remained in Melanie’s mind for a long time, so long it felt as if it were carved into her brain, etched onto her heart, never to be erased.

Even though she had only caught a fleeting glimpse of Preston's face back then.

But in that moment of extreme weakness, tension, and crisis, that fleeting glimpse of his handsome face had given Melanie an unimaginable sense of security.

Neither of them had escaped danger or been rescued yet.

But Melanie had a gut feeling—

Preston would save her.

Preston was here.

She wasn't going to die.

As it turned out, she was right.

Preston had saved her, gotten her out completely unscathed.

“Autumn is starting. You shouldn’t be dressed so lightly…”

Hearing Preston’s gentle admonishment, Melanie subconsciously touched the suit jacket he had placed on her shoulders.

“If you give me your jacket, won’t you be dressed too lightly?”

Melanie looked up and pointed to the black shirt Preston was wearing.

Just as she said, the shirt was thin, and the buttons were done up wrong.

It was clear Preston had rushed over.

Melanie had expected Preston to come out from inside the company to meet her, but he had come from outside instead.

It meant he probably hadn't been at work today.

Melanie watched Preston, taking slow steps toward him.
