Chapter 18 She Wants to Meet You


    Things were going awry with the cheating pair.


    Arising star’s secret rendezvous with her cousin’s fiancé and getting pregnant before marriage. What a juicy piece of news!


    After leaving the nurse’s station, Mnie took out her phone and saw a message from Annie Snow. (By the way, the Wests have


    been iming that your engagement to Bryan remains intact and that it''ll be held again in a week. What now?)


    Mnie replied: [Don’t worry.]


    She quickly typed a message, [Tomorrow, I''ll have the entire world know that if | marry Bryan West, I''ll be the dumbest person on


    Earth!]


    Annie asked with anticipation. [Does this mean we’re in for a show tomorrow?]


    [Exactly! But I''ll need your help.] Mnie replied: (Where are you? Let’s meet.]


    The two found a spot at a nearby coffee shop and spent half an hour coordinating their ns.


    In the end, Mnie handed Annie the ess card to Bryan’s office, a card he had given her in the past.


    Annie clutched the ess card tightly, her anticipation clear as she eximed. “Tomorrow morning. Bryan and Lena will be


    the biggest joke Harbor City has ever seen!”


    Right after seeing Annie off, Mnie’s phone rang. It was a call from her mother’s assistant, Mr. Lincoln.


    “Miss Mnie, your mother has presented your proposal for the new perfume lineup. The board members are dissatisfied with it.


    Would you like toe over in person?”


    “Understood, I''ll be there immediately.”


    Mr. Lincoln had been her father’s most trusted assistant during his lifetime and had continued to assist her mother in managing


    the


    company after her father’s passing. He would not have called unless the situation was urgent.


    Just as Mnie was about to hail a cab.


    “Click.”


    Aluxury MPV suddenly pulled up beside her. The window rolled down halfway, revealing Stephen Morgan with his hat shielding


    his face.


    Thinking about what Jeffrey Morgan had said about marrying Stephen Morgan if her foot was healed in three days, Mnie’s


    gaze darkened. She got into the car and asked, “Do you need something from me?”


    “Can''t | see you if | don’t need anything from you?” Stephen replied yfully.


    “If you don’t need anything, don’t waste my time. I’m busy,” she said, ready to leave.


    Stephen hurriedly changed his tone. “Alright, alright. The olddy''sing home from overseas; and she insists on meeting you.


    You have toe to my ce this Sunday.”


    “Why?” Mnie asked.


    “Because you''re to be her granddaughter—inw! When she heard that she would be getting a granddaughter—inw, she


    decided to rush back home. Just view it as something you''re doing tofort her. It won’t take much of your time.” Stephen


    exined cautiously, fearingFrom N?velDrama.Org.


    Mnie’s refusal.


    However, Mnie had no intention of agreeing. “I agreed to a secret marriage in exchange for a condition with President


    Morgan, but meeting the elders...that’s apletely different matter.”


    With that, she turned and got out of the car. Stephen hurriedly caught up from behind, saying, “We can negotiate on that. Just


    mention whatever you want.”


    Mnie paused, a sudden idea crossing her mind. She asked, “Are you sure?”


    “Absolutely,” Stephen replied earnestly, nodding.

    “Alright then. As long as you be the brand ambassador for Jones Enterprise’s pertume lineup, I''ll agree, Mnie said


    assuredly.


    Considering Stephen’s carefree and extravagant nature, the prospect of him having a wife must indeed be exciting for the elders


    in the family. Yet, that was precisely why Mnie dared agree to the secret marriage with him. The man would lose interest


    quickly, and that would give her the freedom to leave at any time.


    “Jones Enterprise produces perfume for women. Am | suitable for that?” Stephen asked with hesitation.


    “We''re about tounch a line of men’s perfume as well. Don’t worry, I’ll send you the proposal. You can discuss it with your


    agent. If it looks good to you,e to Jones Enterprise in half an hour. We''ll discuss further.” Mnie assured him.


    Seeing Mnie brimming with confidence, Stephen could not help but chuckle to himself.


    It was Stephen who had initiated this meeting today. Seeing how she had a proposal prepared, it was beginning to feel like he


    had walked into a trap. However, even if Mnie’s proposal was oundish, Stephen did not have the authority to refuse. If his


    uncle found out he had messed up this matter, he would be in deep trouble.


    After receiving Stephen’s assurance, Mnie instructed the driver to take her to Jones Enterprise.


    As soon as she arrived at the building, Mnie noticed a group of reporters surrounding Lena, interviewing her.


    Mnie’s expression darkened. Lena sure changed her outfit quickly. She rushed to Jones Enterprise for an interview with the


    press right after her appointment at the hospital. Mnie had a feeling it had something to do with her proposal today.
