Bradley furrowed his brows slightly. He hadn’t expected her to be so attentive as to even figure out his preferences.
He made no response and sent a message to Ned. Find an opportunity to tell Melissa about the design competition.]
He had no time to clean up Melissa’s mess like he did yesterday, so he decided to give her a job opportunity. But inwardly, he told himself he was doing this for Curtis, not for her
When Melissa called him for breakfast, she saw him sitting on the living room sofa, a few of her hastily sketched design drafts in his hands.
Breakfast is ready.” She sounded very polite.
“Not bad.” Bradley stood up.

Meliska knew he was commenting on her design draft, feeling a bit down. “My designing talents are actually great, but Hannah is causing She’s given many peer companies a heads–up not to hire me, or else I wouldn’t have gone to work at the chub…….”
Bradley sat down at the table, asking. ‘Melissa, have you thought about what Curtis would think if he found out you’re working at the club?”
Melissa took her seat across from him. “I was really out of it yesterday, grasping at straws in desperation…..
Seeing the delicious dishes on the table, Bradley felt pretty good, teasing, “Regretting betting with me!
Melissa regretted it immensely, nodding yet still somewhat stubborn as she replied, “I apologize for what I said before. Money really can do anything
Bradley raised an eyebrow. “So, are you admitting defear?”
Although Melissa had already guessed that she was likely to lose in the agreement, she didn’t want to give Bradley a chance to laugh at her so soon. “There are still several days to go, and no one can tell until the last moment.” She struggled.

“Really? You agreed?” Melissa almost couldn’t believe her ears and confirmed loudly in excitement.
Bradley frowned, looking at her with displeasure. “Why so many words at the dinner table? Even a three–year–old knows more dining etiquette than you.”
The excited Melisa ignored his sarcasm, exclaiming. “Mr. Moore, you are an angel! I’ll call Curtis right now!”
Watching her bouncing away. Bradley curved his lips. “What an unambitious woman, she’s overjoyed about such a triviality?’ he complained inwardly.
“Gloria, is Curtis awake? I’m going to pick him up today. Mr. Moore is here with me. He agreed, Okay, I’ll be right there!” Melissa sounded excited in the call, almost dancing with joy
an you car quietly? Bradley looked at the untouched stew in front of her.
Tyke your time rating. I’m going to pick up my Curtis Melissa’s face was filled with undisguised delight..
“Sit down, eat?” Bradley raised his voice.
