Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom novel Chapter 581

“Today he’s swamped, with no time to take any calls.”

Staff replied, “Alright, young lady, hang on for a moment. I’ll ask the manager.”

About two minutes later, 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, I can pass the message for you, considering the good relationship between Elijah and your husband.”

“I 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. I can’t just let you in.” Melinda explained, “If you don’t want me to pass the message, that’s fine. I’m busy too. I 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 were laced with venom.

Melinda’s eyes flashed red as she was insulted. “Odette, if you think I’m his lapdog, then I’m just doing my job. Dogs guard the door for their owners!”

Odette’s anger flared. She raised her hand to slap Melinda’s delicate face.

A loud ‘smack’ echoed! The surrounding guards and staff were dumbstruck.
