She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 863

Meeting Preston Whitmore's teasing gaze, Melanie Royce playfully slapped his arm. "Are you holding a grudge against me now?"

Preston smiled. "I just want you to know... whenever you need me, just ask. You don't have to hesitate."

His smile faded, and his gaze turned deeply serious as he looked at her.

"Whether we're together or not, and whether the person you want me to help is my rival... I'll support you unconditionally in whatever you want to do."

He spoke with absolute calm, yet his words sent a tidal wave of emotion crashing through Melanie's heart.

"Preston, I..."

Just as she was about to speak, a loud voice echoed from down the hall.

"Preston! Melanie! I made it!"

Gabriel Whitmore sprinted over, skidding to a halt right in front of them.

Instantly, Preston's naturally serious face shifted into a terrifying, predatory glare.

Gabriel shuddered. "What? Did I say something wrong?"

He pointed a finger at his own nose.

All he did was call out their names!

His brain spun into overdrive, desperately analyzing which of his few words had pissed Preston off so badly.

Preston turned his attention back to Melanie. "What were you going to say?"

She waved her hand dismissively. "Forget it. It's nothing."

At that, Preston's expression grew even more murderous, shooting Gabriel a look so dark that the younger man instinctively shrank back.

Ah... he had interrupted their private moment.

But honestly...

Wasn't flirting in a hospital hallway a bit much?

"Uh... is it too late for me to leave?"

Gabriel turned to flee, but Preston snatched him by the back of his collar.

Just then, a doctor hurried over, clutching a clipboard.

It was Director Marcelline of Stellaris General Hospital.
