My Unborn Baby Chose My Husband for Me novel Chapter 466

Howard didn't indulge her bitterness. Instead, he simply slid a business card across the table.

"Which is why you need to channel your energy where it matters."

Melody looked down at the card.

"Who is this?"

"A contact at The Green-Tech Research Institute."

Her finger hovered over the card's edge.

Howard continued.

"I called in a few favors and got in touch with Professor Marcus Monroe. He's willing to meet with you."

"Marcus Monroe?"

She jerked her head up, the resentment on her face instantly replaced by sheer disbelief.

"The Marcus Monroe? The authority in green energy?"

"The very same."

Howard picked up his teacup, tapped the lid against the rim, and set it back down.

"He shares the Monroe name. If you trace the lineage back far enough, there are ties between us, though we haven't stayed in touch over the years."

Clutching the business card tightly, a spark returned to her eyes.

"He's really willing to see me?"

"I gave him your resume and mentioned your intent to enter the green energy summit. He didn't say no."

"Did he bring up Seraphina?"

He shot her a stern look.

"Why are you still hung up on her?"

"I just need to know if she went to him too."

"And if she did, what difference does it make?"

"Dad."

"Melody, if you want to win, win the summit. Stop obsessing over who is standing next to Lucian."

Her jaw tightened. After a long silence, she slipped the card into her bag.

"I'll go see the professor tomorrow."

Howard forwarded a phone number to her device.

"This is his assistant's contact. Call him first thing tomorrow to lock down the time and location."

Staring at the digits, she offered a quiet hum of agreement.

Howard walked over and patted her shoulder.

"Your potential shouldn't be squandered on all this emotional wreckage."

Her eyelashes fluttered down. "But he never even looks at me."

"If he can't see your worth, that's his loss."
