The two of them greeted each other politely and sat down.
Bailey glanced at Fade, who was next to Shelton, and immediately said, "What can I do for you today, Mr. Liu?"
Hearing this, Shelton glanced at Fade and said to Bailey with a smile, "Madam Kang, this is the situation. My friend here, Mr. Chen, is acquainted with Miss Melanie. He had some business dealings with her before. Hearing that her marriage is fast approaching, Mr. Chen wanted to meet Miss Yu to congratulate her."
Although Shelton's words were deliberately understated, when it came to Melanie, Bailey's expression immediately turned wary.
She glanced toward Fade and looked him up and down. With a little questioning in her tone, she asked, "Mr. Chen, you do not look familiar to me. I am not aware of your business dealings with Melanie, what kind of business was it?"
Fade looked calm and said, "About half a year ago, I started an entertainment company. Miss Yu's Emerald Plum Jewels collaborated with a spokesperson from our company."
Fade was not lying. Emerald Plum Jewels did invite Winnie Huo as the spokesperson and she was managed by Fade's company, Scott Entertainment.
Hearing Fade's story, Bailey's face relaxed a little. At the same time, she remembered that Emerald Plum Jewels did have such a deal half a year ago.
Seeing Bailey relax, Fade said, "I hope you can make an exception."
Shelton also said, "Mr. Chen is my friend. I'm also here to help him fulfill his wish."
Upon hearing this, Bailey hesitated.
Shelton, a Black Level master, had made a personal request. Moreover, his request was not overboard. They were merely here to pay a visit to Melanie. Normally, Bailey would agree.
However, Melanie's situation was somewhat different. Because the wedding was approaching, and Melanie was still very resistant to it. She had even tried escaping several times.
So, for assurance, Bailey sent people to Yudson City to monitor Melanie constantly. Bailey was worried that something bad would happen. If the wedding was canceled, it would mean big trouble.
Thinking of this, Bailey shook her head, apologizing, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Liu. Because the wedding is just right around the corner, Melanie is preoccupied. She is out today, so she can't meet you, Mr. Chen. I'm sorry."
It was obviously a rejection.
Hearing this, Fade's eyes sank.
Shelton saw this and quickly said, "Madam Kang, he really wants to meet Miss Yu. I wonder where she is and when would she come back. We can wait."
"Well..." Bailey was a little puzzled. Why was Shelton being so pushy for a mere businessman?
Just as she was hesitating, Shelton took out a wooden box and handed it to Bailey, "Madam Kang, this is a little gift, please accept it."
Bailey wanted to refuse, but when she saw Shelton opening the wooden box to reveal a priceless-looking herb in it, her eyes lit up.
She could tell that this herb was at least Black Level. It must be worth a fortune.
As long as Fade was allowed to meet Melanie, the Yu family could obtain this medicinal herb. They could also form good relations with Shelton. This made Bailey extremely tempted. She did not think much of it anymore. She turned around and said with a smile, "I feel bad for making you stand on ceremony. How about this? I'll call Melanie to ask if she's on her way back."
Then, Bailey pretended to make a phone call.
