Unscented

Melissa was lazily leaning against the sofa. Murray leaned over suddenly.

Facing his gaze, Melissa retreated. "What are you doing..."

Before Melissa could finish, Murray’s sexy thin lips touched hers.

As their lips touched, Melissa’s breathing paused for a few seconds, and she subconsciously moaned.

The flames in Murray’s eyes burned brighter, and he could not help but kiss her harder.

His kiss was gentle but passionate. When he kissed her, she felt out of breath.

They felt hotter in the living room...

After a long time, Murray finally ended the passionate kiss unwillingly.

He lowered his head and pressed his forehead against hers. His eyes were as deep as the ocean as he stared at her. "Melissa, promise me that you will be my girl again, okay?"

"I..." Melissa was out of breath because of his kiss.

Just then, Murray’s phone suddenly rang.

The ringtone broke the romantic atmosphere.

Melissa came back to her senses and pushed Murray away. "Your phone."

Murray picked up his phone and looked at it. It was a call from Alex.

Shit!

Murray cursed in his heart.

It was not the right time!

Murray frowned and picked up the phone. "Alex, what’s the matter?" he asked in a cold tone.

"Mr. Gibson, a meeting among the management will be held today. You have to come to the company," Alex said nervously over the phone.

The moment he heard Murray’s displeased voice, he knew that he had called at the wrong time.

It seemed that he bothered Murray and Melissa again.

"No!" Murray opened his thin lips and replied briefly.

Melissa was still sick, so he could not leave.

"But..." Alex wanted to say something, but Murray hung up the phone.

"Is there something wrong with the company?" Melissa asked.

"Nothing." Murray tilted his head and glanced sideways at Melissa. "You haven’t given me an answer to my question."

Melissa looked away, yawned, and changed the topic. "I’m sleepy and want to take a nap. You should go to the company to attend the meeting. As for your question ... I haven’t had an answer yet."

"Are you sure you want me to leave?" Murray’s eyes dimmed. He suddenly reached out and pulled Melissa into his arms.

"Of course, don’t bother me. I need a rest." Melissa hurriedly pushed him away and escaped from his embrace. She deliberately yawned and stood up, planning to return to her room to rest.

"Melissa, don’t make me wait too long," Murray said in a low and hoarse voice from behind.

Melissa paused, pretended not to hear him, and quickly went upstairs.

After returning to her room, she lay on the comfortable bed and quickly fell asleep. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

She had a dream.

In the dream, she returned to her childhood.

Her parents took her to a park for fun. They bought an ice cream for her and took her rowing. They had a great time.

However, she could not see clearly her parents’ looks.

"Mom, don’t move. Let me see your face!" Melissa pulled her mother and pleaded.

But her mother kept avoiding her eyes.

With a splash, Melissa fell from the boat into the cold lake.

It was so cold...

Melissa heard the sound of water in a daze. Then she felt cold water over her body. She shivered and woke up.

When she opened her eyes, Melissa saw Sarah and Claire standing in front of her bed, their faces full of arrogance and anger.

Melissa thought, why are they here?

"Melissa, how could you be so shameless? You had an affair with Jaylin. But you are still pestering Murray. You shameless bitch! How could you sleep here with a clear conscience!" Claire was holding a bucket in her hand, and she was pointing at Melissa’s nose as she cursed.

"Melissa, pack up your things and get out of here now. You are no longer Murray’s fiancée. How could you be so shameless to stay here? It’s impossible for the Gibson family to let a promiscuous woman like you marry into our family. It will disgrace the Gibson family!" Sarah was also furious.

While Sarah was speaking, Claire had already pulled out all of Melissa’s clothes and casually stuffed them into her suitcase.

Melissa wondered if they were trying to kick her out of the house while Murray was away.

Melissa stared coldly at them and said in a flat tone, "Did you pour the cold water on me?"

Claire and Sarah had thought that Melissa would either leave with a guilty conscience or argue with them, but they did not expect her to ask such a question.

Claire and Sarah were stunned. They looked at each other.

"So what? I did this! What can you do to me? I did this for Murray! You were so shameless! You two-timer!"

As Claire spoke, she turned on her phone and checked the trending topics. "Look at what you’ve done!"

Melissa glanced at her indifferently.

There were photos of her and Jaylin in the lounge last night.

In the photo, they were close and drenched.

The words below were even more sensual, making one’s imagination run wild.

Melissa furrowed her brows.

The truth had come out last night that Julie framed them up.

But some reporters without ethics tried to catch people’s attention!

No wonder Sarah and Claire came to scold her early in the morning.

Melissa put on a mocking smile. She immediately got up from the bed, grabbed Claire’s wrist without saying anything, and forcefully pulled her to the bathroom.

"What are you doing?" Claire was unprepared and wanted to get away from Melissa, but she was caught firmly by Melissa.

"Sarah, help me!" Claire shouted.

She did not know what Melissa wanted to do, and she could not free herself. She did not know why Melissa was so strong.

Claire knew that Melissa had been sick for several days and had not recovered yet, so Claire took the chance to come with Sarah to mess up with Melissa.

Ignoring Claire’s struggles and screams, Melissa walked into the bathroom and pushed her under the shower, turning on the cold water directly.

The cold water drenched Claire.

"Oh!"

Claire screamed, her face pale. She wanted to escape from the shower, but the way was blocked by Melissa. She could not escape.

"Sarah, help me! This woman wants to kill me!" Claire could only shout for help from Sarah.

"Melissa, let go of Claire!" Sarah didn’t dare to step forward and shouted from outside the bathroom.

Melissa sneered, "Claire, you just splashed the cold water all over me. Now I’m just giving you a taste of your own medicine. Just enjoy the cold shower!"

Looking at Claire, who was soaked and struggling, Melissa curved her lips.

She thought, do you think I am a pushover?
