THE PASSION OF THE CEO

CHAPTER 203. MELISSA VS FRANS

“Sorry, Sir. The meeting starts in ten minutes. Everyone is here in the room.”

“Alright,” Verrel rushed to leave his study and left a pile of documents for new projects. Upon entering the meeting room, Frans' eyes widened to look at a woman sitting in the second row, the woman in a formal suit sitting next to a businessman who would become Verrel's business partner.

“What is the woman doing here?” ask Verrel. “That's Melissa, right?”

“Iya, Sir. Why is he sitting next to Mr Erlangga?”

“Just leave Frans, don't be affected just assume he doesn't exist. You told your men to monitor them.”

“Good,”

The morning meeting took place with a presentation from the development department and marketing department about designing the latest hotel and resort models which is a collaboration between Ceyhan Group and Inti Global. CG Cement is one of the companies under the Ceyhan Group that specializes in producing high quality cement. Inti Global has signed a joint project with Ceyhan Group last week for the construction of luxury hotels and resorts outside the city, CG cement will supply large quantities of cement for the project.

In the lobby of the Ceyhan Group building there is already Deandra with his two children and a babysitter. The active behavior of the two children provoked the attention of all the employees who smiled to see their cuteness that was hobbling. “Good morning Mistress,” greet the receptionist.

“Pagi. Is my husband in the office?”

“There Madam, Big Lord is in a meeting, it may be over soon.”

“Alya and Tami. Take them to the top floor, there is a lounge and you wait for me there.”

“Good, Mistress.”

Deandra stepped into a special elevator to the 20th floor where the meeting room was located. Without further ado the woman pushed the door open and all turned to the door. Verrel smiled at the sudden presence of his wife in the meeting. Melissa looked frowned and stared dislikefully at Deandra. All those present stood as a sign of respect for the CEO's wife. Except Melissa doesn't know who Deandra is.

“Here dear, sitting next to me,” Verrel led his wife in a chair next to him. “Maybe you know my wife. He is the owner of this company besides me.”

Melissa's eyes widened at Verrel's words. ‘Wife? Company owner? Doesn't this company belong to the Ceyhan family? Is it possible that all the company and wealth of the Ceyhan family was given to the woman? Lucky once’ thought.

“Sorry if I arrive late,” Deandra said.

The delayed meeting was continued by discussing operational costs and the amount of investment for the project.

Deandra focused on reading the documents in front of her and occasionally glanced at Melissa. ‘Who is that woman? I've never seen it before.’

The meeting lasted for two hours and everyone left the meeting room. Only Frans was the last to leave the room. As Frans walked out of the meeting room, his hand was pulled by someone and dragged him into a corner.

“What the fuck are you?” said Frans angrily looking at Melissa who pulled him into a corner.

“There are things to talk about.”

“Stop bothering me and my wife. Never again do you try to harm them or you'll regret it,”

“Why are you emotional? I don't mean to bother you, Frans. Just wanted to tell you something,”

“Huh! You think I believe? Quickly tell me what you want, I'm busy and don't have time.”

“Good then. I also don't have to be nice to you just because of this project. Learn to be professional if you meet me.”

“You should have said that to yourself Frans. Well...I think a lot has changed from you since marrying the village woman yes.”

“Enough Melissa! Don't you ever insult my wife, she's so much better than you, take it.” Frans stepped away but stopped and said “Remember Melissa. If you try to repeat again, I will make you regret.”

“Let see!” melissa said calmly with a cynical tone.

Frans left while grumbling, meeting Melissa made her mood dark. As the elevator door opened on the top floor, she smiled seeing Rosa and her baby sitting on the sofa waiting for her, Deandra was holding Naomi who looked like she was crying.

“Loh...what are you doing here?”

“I have agreed to meet Dea here, we plan to go shopping after lunch.”

“Let's go inside.” invite Deandra. Now Verrel rame workspace with his two children. Naomi looks as dilettant dikelukan the father.

“Cupp....cupp.....honey don't cry, who's naughty?”

“Ngadu keeps the same daddy....so I got mad at him,” Deandra said smilingly looking at her very spoiled daughter at Verrel.

“Why was my son scolded? Don't be so dear, they're still small,”

“Biarin. The one in the bottle doesn't want to, he wants to go straight, look at my shirt how do I want to give him breast milk in this shirt? He pulled my shirt, I was angry. Uh Naomi's crying,”

Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok

“Log,”

Melissa entered Verrel's workroom, her eyes widened to see Verrel sitting with her daughter hugging, let alone Rosa sitting on the sofa holding her child. Melissa's jealousy was burning at the sight.

“Sorry to interrupt,”

“What's up?” ask Verrel ketus.

Rosa, who got up from her seat when she saw Melissa, immediately sat back down after having her hand pulled by Frans. “Leave it. He's here on business, nothing else,” Frans whispered to Rosa.

“I want to give this to you. This is the schedule that I have arranged for visits to the project and the laying of the first stone and other processes during this project.” as much as possible Melissa was calm even though her heart was very hot to see the affection of Frans who held her child. ‘Damn you Frans! You should have carried our son instead of the village's daughter.’

“Alright, I accept. If nothing else please exit.” Deandra grabbed the brown map from Melissa's hand while looking at her sharply. I don't know why Deandra doesn't like that woman.

“I will also take to the field directly to check this project, if you do not mind to accompany me,” said Deandra calmly.

“Oh of course I don't mind. But you are pregnant, you should not go to the project site. Fear will later inhibit.”

“Meanway? Inhibiting? Huh. You don't have to worry about me. Even though I am pregnant but I am still working hard. This is my second pregnancy so there is nothing to hinder and hampered if I take to the field to check directly.” Deandra's hand stretched out forward gesturing for Melissa to immediately exit the room.
