BOUND BY TRADITION

Chapter 9

Melissa looks at Jack with big eyes. There is a feeling in her heart that she has never felt before.

Jack spoke yesterday in front of so many people that she could buy an office building with a 50% discount, and now she really took it at this price.

Thanks to a promotion led by the Company Corecloud Land, Melissa succeeds. However, she cannot participate in this activity without Jack.

Melissa is in possession of the security coming from Jack for the first time. Indeed, he did not disappoint her.

“ And that's it! I'll keep the secret, so go take the electric bike,” says Melissa.

Jack rides a bike smiling, Melissa remains in the back, hesitant, with her arms around Jack’s waist.

Jack straightens up instantly, this is still the first time that Melissa holds his waist, which makes him shy.

At that moment, Melissa experiences the feeling that he has, because after squeezing Jack, she touches his powerful abdominals.

“This guy... Does he have muscle?” She thinks.

…..

In a milk tea shop.

Sonia looks with uncertainty at Melissa and Jack, they didn't think they left the Corecloud Land Company so quickly.

“Why does she go out so fast, with something in her hand! Does she succeed?” Says Sonia.

“Impossible! Look at her face. If she succeeds, she won't look soft. I'm sure she was chased away after a few words.”Jeremy said, blinking his eyes.

“You're right, it's impossible to succeed with so little time,” Sonia nods her head.

“Let's go, they certainly didn’t succeed. This will earn her from the grandfather's reproaches.” Jeremy said, laughing. Then he leaves the store with Sonia.

….

In the afternoon.

In the Decastro villa. Patrick summons the whole family again, because he received a call from Melissa in the morning saying that there was something important to announce.

“It's only been a day before Melissa proclaims, what do you think?”

“Of course she can't find a way to buy a building from the Land Company Corecloud for 5 million yuan.”

“Yes, I have already guessed that it would fail. This time, she and Jack would be hunted by the Decastro.

“I hope so. The Decastros do not accept null people who do not succeed in a small business.”

Jeremy and Sonia both listen to the people around them with a smile. They saw Melissa leave the Corecloud Land Company with a lack of nerve, so Melissa undoubtedly missed it, which is also the reason why Patrick summoned them.

“Patrick, you gave Melissa five days, but she gave up on the first day. She doesn't want to hold on. The one who easily gave up should have been driven out of our family.”Jeremy said, leaning towards Patrick.

Patrick is a little angry at that time. Hearing the murmurs in the room, he also believes that Melissa made him summon the whole family to publicly announce her defeat, namely that she cannot buy the building.

“Eh, what a nullard! If she really gives it up, she won't stay with us anymore.” Patrick said coldly.

A moment later, the door of the villa opens, Melissa and Jack enter from the outside. Everyone calms down immediately and turns to them.

All the people in the villa enjoy seeing them suffer, making fun of them.

“Melissa, if you miss this case today, you can try again tomorrow, but you abandon it only one time, which is not in accordance with the grandfather's instruction.”

Jeremy gets up and then looks at Melissa smiling.

“It's impossible for her to get courage after feeling frustrated. Look at this man near her, don't forget that he is good for nothing in the River City. Melissa was infected by him,” says Sonia mockingly.

Melissa approaches Patrick with discontent, holding the contract signed in the morning.

“Melissa, I suggest you don't ask for a pardon from the grandfather, loser, go away!” Says Jeremy unscrupulously.

“Who told you that I failed?” Said Melissa looking at Jeremy.

“So, did you succeed? This morning, I saw you leave the Corecloud Land Company with an unfortunate look, in addition, it's impossible to succeed alone!” Says Jeremy with confidence.

“It might disappoint you, I asked the grandfather to summon you here to just tell you that I had won,” says Melissa.

Everyone is surprised by its success.

“Impossible! Don't deceive us. It's only possible that you buy the building in such a short time!” Screams Jeremy, looking at Melissa with a sharp eye.

“Actually Patrick. Melissa is not only incapable, but also a liar. She takes you for an idiot. You'd better drive her out of here,” shouts Sonia.

Melissa hands over the contract without saying a word.

“Patrick, this is the purchase contract, please review it.”

Everyone widened their eyes, and did not expect Melissa to get the contract.

Jeremy and Sonia remain perplexed when looking at this contract. If it is true, they can no longer slander her.

Patrick takes the contract and reads it carefully. As soon as he sees the seal of the Land Enterprise Corecloud, he believes it's true and smiles.

“It's good! Melissa, you took an office building at a price of 5 million yuan, this is a meritorious act. From today, your salary doubles and your bonus increases,” says Patrick with joy.

Jeremy and Sonia hardly believe it.

“Patrick, there is a possibility that she will contrave the contract, don't be fooled by her.” Said Jeremy anxiously.

“So, do you think I'm an old man who can't distinguish the truth from the wrong?” Says Patrick angrily, taking a look at Jeremy.

Jeremy immediately believes the authenticity of the contract that Melissa gave and he collapses.

“It's okay, Melissa did it well and she's a model for you. Unless there is something else, it's over and you can leave,”says Patrick.

“Wait!”

At this moment, a voice sounds, it's from Jack.

“So, what's the matter?” Said Patrick, turning to Jack.

“Patrick, do you remember the bet between me and Jeremy? As we said yesterday, if Melissa is able to buy the building for 5 million yuan, Jeremy must bow down to Melissa to apologize.” Says Jack with a smile, turning to Jeremy.

“Melissa has already done it, so it's time to make her keep her promise, isn't it?”
