NovelAppChapter 125 Chapter 125 Clyde must've said something funny because the woman suddenly burst into laughter, her gaze drifting toward the office door. Her eyes lit up, and she quickly cover to open it. "Melanie, what are you doing standing out here? Con in." Her familiarity threwfor a loop.
Vinson nodded at me. "Mr. Patterson has guests, and I'll cback another day. Take care." I knew it wasn't the best tto discuss business with outsiders present, so I had Lina escort him out.

She looked at me, somewhat displeased, and she pouted and gave Clyde a sideways glance. "I told you Melanie's got a short memory for her family. Here I am, and she doesn't even recognize me." Her tone, somewhat whiny and akin to Kayla's, confusedmore. But I knew the nLisa. She was Talbot's youngest daughter, with an older brother named Tammie Crawford.
"I'm so sorry, Lisa. The last tI saw you, I was in elementary school. I don't remember, especially since you couldn't make it back for Grandpa's funeral, saying you were tied up. I honestly don't remember you." I kept my professional smile as I faced her, understanding she con behalf of the Crawford family to discuss a partnership with the Patterson Group.

I just watched her, thinking she missed her calling as an actress. If Kayla was innocent, Lisa was the manipulative woman in disguisene Perhaps it was her privileged upbringing, but she also had the forthrightness of a spoiled heiress.
However, looking at her makeup and outfit, I realized she was imitating me, just like Kayla did, except that she missed the point that I rarely dressed so provocatively. Firstly, my figure didn't allow it, and secondly, my scars didn't, either.

I guessed her intent but kept silent, holding the documents at the side.
Clyde looked awkward. "Melanie, didn't we have dinner plans..." I've booked a restaurant. Let's have a family dinner. We're all family here." Lisa cut him off. "Mr. Patterson, you wouldn't refuse me, would you?" She lowered her head, looking slightly aggrieved.
