Chapter 581
“Today he’s swamped, with no time to take any calls.”
Staff replied, “Alright, youngdy, hang on for a moment. I’ll ask the manager.”
About two minutester, the staff returned with Melinda.
Seeing Odette, Melinda furrowed her brows. “Why are you looking for Elijah? He’s tied up today.”
“It''s just an event, isn’t it? You''re telling me without him, the event can’t go on?” Odette scoffed. “He doesn’t even have time for a
sip of coffee or a bathroom break?”
Melinda stood her ground against Odette’s bravado. “What''s the matter, Odette? If it’s something reasonable, | can pass the
message for you, considering the good rtionship between Elijah and your husband.”
“| don’t need you to pass any messages! Let me in and I’ll only take a few minutes of his time!” Odette snapped in frustration.
“If it were any other day, I''d let you in. But today we have a lot of important guests. | can’t just let you in.” Melinda exined, “If
you don’t want me to pass the message, that’s fine. I’m busy too. | don’t have time to waste here.”
Melinda had a hunch that Odette was here because of Violette, so she wasn’t about to let her in.
“Melinda, you know my husband and Elijah are close, and what gives you the right to block me? Do you think you speak for
Elijah? Even Joey wouldn''t dare to treat me like this. You really think you''re something special! You’re nothing more than Elijah’s
lapdog!” Odette was convinced Melinda was intentionally making things difficult, so her words wereced with venom.
Melinda’s eyes shed red as she was insulted. “Odette, if you think I’m hispdog, then I’m just doing my job. Dogs guard the
door for their owners!”
Odette’s anger red. She raised her hand to p Melinda’s delicate face.
Aloud ‘smack’ echoed! The surrounding guards and staff were dumbstruck.
One of the staff approached Melinda, speaking in a low voice, “Ms. Marcia, are you alright? Would you like us to throw thisdy
out?”
Melinda, bearing the burning pain on her cheek, smirked. “Don’t you see? Thisdy isn’t someone we can afford to offend. Go
and inform Mr. Bourne, and ask him toe here.”Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
The staff quickly entered the hall, seeking out Elijah.
Soon, Elijah rushed over. His gaze swept over Melinda’s face, and then locked onto Odette.
“Elijah, your PR manager barred me from entering. Who gave her the right to treat me like this?” Odette used.
As soon as Odette finished speaking, Melinda bowed her head towards Elijah. “Elijah, I’m sorry. | didn’t mean to stop her. | asked
her why she wanted toe in, but she refused to tell me. Therefore, | didn’t dare to let her in.”
Achill settled in Elijah’s eyes. “Odette, who gave you the audacity to assault someone here?”
“Who told her to stop me? | said | just
wanted to talk to you briefly. Isn''t that
clear enough? oyquetiiak Wot

“Apologize!” Elijah enunciated each word, and his voice was stern. “Apologize to Melinda!”
“In your dreams! Elijah, | can’t believe
you''re taking her side! | must be blind.

In her rage, Odette spoke out

She saw your true essence long ago!”

Elijah never raised his hand against a woman, but Odette made him break his rule.
Odette’s disrespect towards Melinda,
and her refusal to apologize, wasn''t
why he lost his temper. ILwas tet!
