Jaron was stunned. He didn't expect that Melissa would reject him. Another girl would have been overwhelmed by the favor.
Melissa's calmness and composed posture, and right attitude towards money earned Jaron's admiration.
Marc saw that Julia's face turned even paler and quickly interrupted.
"Alright. Everyone is tired. Let's sit and eat."
Marc clapped his hands and the banquet began.
He waved at Julia and smiled. "Julia, come here and eat with me."
Julia immediately put on a smile and nodded her head. Then, she walked up to Marc tidying up her dress. She looked at Melissa with a triumphant look.
Melissa ignored her and continued eating.
The servant brought Julia a chair and placed it next to Marc.
Julia's eyes widened to the maximum, but Melissa ignored her. Julia felt kind of bored.
"Chat with Julia after the meal. Don't make her feel bored."
