Spoiled by Mr. Russell

Chapter 51
“Do I have to copy these notes by hand? Can’t we just photocopy these instead? You can also hire someone to copy it if we
really need to copy it by hand!” Melanie pouted and voiced her dissatisfaction. “I’ve been feeling drained recently. Even my
mental state is taking a toll. I am under a lot of pressure facing Lily’s attacks recently!” Melanie said while coquettishly hugging
Nathaniel’s arm.
Nathaniel’s heart immediately softened when Melanie cozied up, acted spoiled, and talked to him in her sweet voice. He put his
arm around her shoulder and pulled her toward him.” You’re also familiar with this industry, so It’s not like you don’t know that
most of these notes are handwritten. Would you use a computer to record the data while experimenting? You’d only key in the
final summary, wouldn’t you?” Nathaniel comforted Melanie and kissed her forehead.
However, his words could not calm Melanie’s anger. “This is all Lily’s fault. We would’ve won the award if she hadn’t plotted
against us. Then the company’s financial situation wouldn’t be a problem. We could have reached the next level. It’s all because
of her. It’s her fault!” Melanie barked while she threw the notes on the table. She vented her anger, imagining those notes she
threw were Lily herself.
Nathaniel was equally as angry and agreed with Melanie’s words. However, it was more vital to get ahead of Lily regarding
evidence and be in the right. Then it would be useless even if Lily had La Beauté Group supporting her.
Although reluctant, Melanie continued copying the notes after Nathaniel coaxed her for a while.
Nathaniel took out his phone to call someone and walked to the side after stabilizing Melanie’s emotions. “Have you arranged
everything? Good. I’ve gone through the manuscript, and it’s good to go. Post it as soon as possible!” Nathaniel hung up after
adding a few words.
He stood in front of the window wall, overlooking the city, with his eyes narrowed. He was on the seventy-seventh floor. He chose
this floor when renting the office because he felt seven was a lucky number. After all, seven was a magic number—the seven
wonders and seven days to create the universe, like in the bible. He destined himself for luck and smooth sailing. That’s what he
thought until a few days ago.
Start-up had been difficult, but he overcame it easily. Lily created fragrances one after another, each more popular than the next
as the company’s sales increased.

Nathaniel initially planned to look for investors, expand product scale, and double the assets after winning the award this time.
Afterward, he would rent the whole building, public-list his company, purchase the entire building, make a debut in the
international market, and so on.
He had a beautiful dream, and his ambitions were high. However, he did not expect someone to bring that all to a screeching
halt. He could not figure out what was wrong with Lily as she suddenly seemed different,
Lily had always been docile and obedient. She listened to Nathaniel and worked willingly without salary, never questioning the
company’s operation. So what if she knew of Nathaniel’s affair with Melanie? She could have cried and begged Nathaniel to
decide, and he would be willing to support Lily for the rest of her life.
What was the big deal with him having several women as he was a successful man? Historically, all rich and powerful men had
many women by their side. What was Lily fussing about when Nathaniel only had two?
Nathaniel’s breath fogged up the window glass, blurring the city skyline in front of him. He raised his hand and vigorously wiped
the fogged glass. He knew he could not fall from grace since he had reached this height. He would not, must not, and was
extremely unwilling to return to the past. That would never happen, ever!
