Another message surprised her...
[Black] Q, this offer canceled! (Picture's as attached)
She stares at the cellphone screen, her mind instantly recalling Andy Tanner's case. According to the information that Max gave her, now Andy Tanner's career is getting worse. Many of his advertising and movie contracts have been canceled, on his social media netizens are still criticizing him.
Why did he suddenly cancel the task? Had Grandpa told them I'm back?
Mel suddenly feels a little worried. Afraid grandpa told them about the Tanner Group shares which he will give to her. If he told them, Mel is really sure Vivian will do something wicked soon. She tried to think of something so she could be ready to face them.
"Max, keep an eye on Vivian, Andy, and my Fath... I mean Alan. Report to me if anything is suspicious." She's firmly instructed, Max.
"Yes, Boss will do. How about Tanner Entertainment case?"
"Leave it like that. We've got what we wanted. We will discuss the next step before the shareholder's meeting is held. When will it is scheduled?"
"As per the latest schedule, End of March."
After a while...
"Boss, there's an incoming call from Mr. Andrew..." Max said.
Instantly, Mel's face turned bright. In no time, she picks up the phone, and Andrew voice can hear from another side
"Where are you?" he asks in his charming voice.
"Andrew... I'm in the apartment."
"Okay, I'll be there in 20 minutes," he said, then turned off the phone.
Mel blinked. Huh? How does he know where I live?
Mel was surprised Andrew disconnected the line even though she hasn't told him her home address. And she was pretty sure she never told him.
Does he know where my apartment is?
Mel just shakes her head and then rushes to prepare herself. She can't wait to see him again.
20 minutes later, they already in the car.
"Today, I'm going to cook your favorite meal, grill meat," he said with a gorgeous smile while still focus on driving.
"Really? Are we going to a barbecue restaurant?" She responded with sparkling eyes upon hearing her favorite food.
She is always joyful when talking about food because she loves to eat. Or, to be precise, all kinds of meat-based foods.
"No," He smiles before continue to say, "We're going to have a barbecue at my house." He said it calmly yet excitingly.
WHAT? Are we going to his house?
Mel was stunned to hear that he was going to bring her to his house. She glanced at him, and their eyes met. He smiles. Instantly Mel's cheeks feel warm. She diverts her gaze, looking out at the window. She tries to calm her heart down, which is now seemingly beat faster by the minute.
"Why? You don't want to come to my house?" he asks.
Huh? Why does he think like that? I accepted it, did I?
Mel was worsening again. She couldn't clearly think when she was around him.
Damn Mel! She's silently cursing.
She immediately shakes her head, afraid this arrogant... no... dominating man will cancel to bring her to his house and go to a barbecue restaurant. No... no.. she's more than willing to go to his home than to go to a restaurant.
She cleared her throat then said, "I like the idea." she gives him her beautiful smile.
Satisfied to see her smile, he returned his focus to look ahead.
"Do we need to go to the supermarket?" Mel asks.
"No need. The housemaid has prepared everything."
"That's great then..."
Andrew drives fast, and in 20 minutes, they already arrive at Green Forest.
The path to Andrew's house is different from Grandma's house. The path they passed is like a particular path only made for a colossal mansion on the hill at the end of the road.
At the end of the road, they stopped right in front of a high black fence. A moment later, the gate opened automatically, slowly the car drives again for about 2 minutes before stopping exactly in front of a modern two-story villa with a minimalist building design.
When they arrived, it was almost dark, but she still could see the house. It has a huge and distinctive yard with large towering trees surrounding the area. She also can see there is a flower path near the house. The atmosphere looks picturesque.
Being in this vast courtyard, she felt like she was in a quiet forest. This stunning villa stands alone. No other houses are seen near it because the entire yard is covered by towering trees. This house is like in another world.
The Villa exterior is dominated by earth-tone colors. Some of the walls are from wood accents, and she also can see many large glass windows. It makes the house look natural yet modern at the same time.
Andrew opened the door and pleased Mel to enter first. There's no one in the house, just the two of them. Andrew had told the maids to return to the servants' house, far behind the main house.
As soon as they entered, Mel was amazed to see the interior design, mid-century modern style. The choice of furniture uses wood elements and iron. The colors are also mostly earth tones and bright colors.
She immediately like this house... "Andrew, do you live here," she asks casually.
"Rarely... I usually live in my Penthouse." He lies. Because this is the second time he comes here, he never sleeps here.
Penthouse? Does he also have a penthouse? Mel begins to doubt him.
Who is he? He works as an employee at W Group, but owns a luxurious house in Green Forest, owns a Penthouse, and his car is quite expensive? Could he be Andrew William? she thought.
"Andrew, who are you? Are you Andrew William, right?" She asks with a serious tone.
Walking towards the kitchen, Andrew stopped his steps and then turned to see Mel strolling behind him... "Why do you think like that?" He didn't answer but asked back.
