Chapter 296: Dumb Woman
Cassandra is happy to find out Mel has fallen in love. The Icy Girl. She never thought Mel could feel that wonderful feeling.
But Maggie looks at Mel with a mixed feeling. Maggie seems to know something about Mel the other three don’t. Just the morning before the meeting, Maggie was told by her brother a piece of exciting news about Mel. However, she still hesitated to confront Mel about the information. She prefers to wait till Mel tells it to them herself.
Cassandra then asked Mel further about the detail of the relationship Mel is having with. This has made Maggie excited, as she could avoid confronting Mel but still get the information she wanted from Mel’s answers to Cass’s questions. Maggie’s eyes were on Mel, almost staring close up. But once again, Mel just ignored their excitement.
"Mel, come on, please tell us the whole story." Cassandra coaxes Mel. Then glance at Amy, "Amy... did you know your boss has a lover now?" She was sure Amy must know.
Amy was stunned to hear Cassandra’s question. It has been a while since she tried to avoid every conversation about her boss’s private life. Because Amy worried she would reveal her boss’s secret. She just stares at Cass without opening her mouth.
"Cassandra, if Mel isn’t ready to tell now, I think you shouldn’t force her to tell it now..." Suddenly Maggie speaks. Her eyes narrowed at Mel in front of her.
"Maggie? Did you also know Mel is in love with someone? Did you know who that someone is?" Cassandra almost jolted out from her seat.
She couldn’t believe she was the only one who didn’t know Mel already had a partner. For that case, the icy girl who is not interested in a man, or woman, now has a lover. Wait!? Does she have a Boyfriend or a Girlfriend? Suddenly Cassandra felt dizzy with her thoughts.
"Yes, I know Mel is in a serious relationship now...And I was so hurt when I found out she had a boyfriend." Maggie said firmly with her eyes still looking on Mel’s, not in real anger, more like in comical anger. "How could you lie to me?"
