Melanie refused to answer Nathaniel’s incessant calls after she hung up. After a while, she grew annoyed with the constant ringing and turned off her phone. She had even more trouble falling asleep after such a stir, so she walked toward the small square window. It felt completely different from the floor-to-ceiling ones in the presidential suite overlooking the city's night view.
The window represented a frame that contained her whole life as Melanie could already foresee her future. She felt she was destined to live this life and could no longer count on Nathaniel since he could not give her what he wanted.
As expected, one could only rely on themselves. It did not matter that Melanie had dedicated herself to following Nathaniel over the past few years. Melanie knew how dedicated Lily was to Nathaniel when Lily was with him. Melanie would likely fall into the same destiny as Lily and become old and ugly if she devoted herself to Nathaniel.
Melanie thought, 'Nate might have another person to replace me.’ Melanie felt terrified when she thought of these things. She shivered in the cold, even though the window remained shut.
Melanie hugged herself and looked up at the ceiling. She bit on her lower lip and decided in her heart. After
taking a bath, she wore her sexy pajamas and put on makeup before covering herself with a coat.
"Fortunately, I maintained my figure well enough. I still look as beautiful as ever," Melanie muttered while looking in the mirror.
She ordered a bottle of red wine and took the elevator up with her access card. She quickly found Frank’s room since it was a room she dreamed of staying in. She accurately remembered where it was.
Since Melanie was unsure of Frank’s capabilities and power, she was initially very unsure. However, that night reassured her of Frank's influence. He was someone the event organizers had specially invited, and he helped her when others pressured her on stage.
Frank was so famous that he could effortlessly make Melanie the center of attention with just a simple sentence. Melanie knew it would be equally as simple if Frank wanted to do otherwise. She thought it was better to be with Frank than the useless Nathaniel, as Frank had significant influence and abilities.
Although Frank was unlikely to promise Melanie marriage and love, he could help her become the top perfumer in the industry. The fame and fortune Frank could bring Melanie were unprecedented. After achieving wealth and fame, Melanie could quickly obtain love, marriage, and any man she wanted.
Melanie no longer felt worried or unsure after making such a conclusion. The room door opened after she rang the doorbell, catching Melanie by surprise as she thought she would need to wait a while before Frank responded.
Frank stood at the door in his loose robe as his eyes revealed a sense of desire. Melanie would have avoided his gaze before but not anymore. She lifted the red wine bottle in her hand and waved at Frank." Hey, I've figured it out," she said with a seductive smile on her rosy lips.
Frank was delighted as he smiled.
