MTLNOVEL Chapter 134: Meeting Melinda
Katie wasn't pleased by the fact that Jayden was leaving, but he had to.
She knew it was inevitable, but at least she had gotten to see Big Brother Jayden before he left for a while again.
Jayden made sure to give her the best of gifts and promised he would always keep in touch.
He had once thought that the only family he had left was The Core, but now, he had realised he was wrong.
He had some real blood family in Spring City, and he would never let that slip from his mind.
"See you, princess," Jayden said before leaving.
"See you, Big Brother," Katie said with a breaking tone like she would cry.
Tom was there to pat her.
"Bye, Big Brother!" the other girls waved as his car drove off.
After all these, one thing was clear enough...
It was certain that they were doing fine, and Tom was now capable enough to take care of the kids. That was Jayden's relief, even though he knew their mother's absence would make things tough for them.
His next stop was at Monarch Café, where he had to take a flight to Cloudbridge City.
Since his rumored death, he hadn't seen Melinda, so he knew she must be eager to see him after hearing that he wasn't actually dead.
******
Two months had passed, and he hadn't come to visit.
Melinda had been the most uncomfortable and sad person in the world.
After the one-night stand with him back at the apartment, she had always hoped that he felt something and would come for her.
Now, she had believed that he hadn't felt anything, and when The Core actually revealed their identity together with The Dominus, she discovered that Jayden was the man she had been eager to see, and her worker, who had been acting low and calm, was the Lady Trigger that Reece and George had been crushing on.
That was not the most heartbreaking part...
The most heartbreaking part was that Jayden happened to find Harper more attractive than her and had even taken her as one of his ladies.
Now what's worse? She also discovered that Jayden had many ladies living with him, all as his women, more like fiancées.
She couldn't help crying her eyes out after discovering that, but it had been two months, and she had been trying to put it out of her mind, even though it was tough.
She had lost hope completely in him, believing that since he was now President, he wouldn't even remember to visit anymore.
She believed he was done with her...
However, just then... When she least expected a visit, the President showed up at the grand café.
******
Reece was the first to notice him, and he didn't even know how to address him at that point.
"Uhh... Uhm, welcome, Boss... Sorry, Mister President."
"It's okay, Reece. How's it going, man?" Jayden asked.
"Very well, thank you, Mister President," Reece replied.
"Uhm, what about Mel?" Jayden then asked.
"She's in her office, sir. Please come with me," Reece said as he immediately left his post, telling the other worker standing nearby to take over.
George was nowhere to be found at that point, but Jayden wasn't concerned about that at the moment.
He just wanted to set his eyes on Melinda.
And when the office door opened...
He saw her. She raised her head and noticed him.
Melinda flinched at once, her eyes dilated.
She quickly stood up and walked over.
"Welcome, Mister President. I'm sorry, I was..."
"Hey," Jayden immediately interrupted.
"It's Jayden here, not the President," he added.
Melinda remained silent for a moment and nodded.
"Shall we?" Jayden pointed towards the chairs in the office, and Melinda nodded as they both sat across from each other.
"I was glad... when I heard you survived," Melinda began, but her voice was cold, and she was uncomfortably respectful.
She seemed to be trying to approach him like the President.
Jayden nodded.
"And I'm glad you are okay too... You know, two months since we last met. It's been a while," Jayden said.
Melinda nodded.
She wouldn't say a word to that, so Jayden continued.
"That night at the apartment," he began.
Melinda raised her head, her eyes turning bright.
"I enjoyed it. Trust me, I felt something after what we did. But..."
"It's okay. It's in the past. That... that was a one-night stand, and I promise it won't happen again," she said with an almost pleading tone, making Jayden furrow his brows.
"Come on, stop acting like the object here. I clearly stated that I enjoyed it. You have to trust me when I say I would love to do it again and again, but..."
"You've got women. I understand," Melinda cut in again.
Jayden heaved a sigh. He stayed silent and thought for a while, and then nodded.
Melinda's face darkened a little after that gesture, as she felt down, her heart shrinking to the limit.
But then, she suddenly stood up, like she couldn't hold herself, and pounced on Jayden.
"At least let me have a final taste of the man I love," she said and sunk her mouth against his, rushing to pull his suit at that same moment.

Royce was alone, strapped to the ward bed in the room when Dale and the lady who had conducted the test walked in.
He was in tears, still mourning for his rod and still begging to get it back.
"Dale! Dale, please! Help me," Royce cried.
Dale didn't say a word until he was really close to Royce.
"Listen to me, Royce. She will conduct the second one now. You have to pass it, no matter what," Dale stated.
"Will I get my dick back if I pass the test?" That was the first question he asked after Dale told him that.
However, Dale had to hesitate before replying.
A hesitation that held doubt, worry, and hopelessness.
Yet, Dale still nodded.
Perhaps that was just to fuel Royce's will to pass the test.
Perhaps it was true.
"So what if I lose the test again?" Royce then asked.
Before the lady could reply, Dale cut in.
"You don't want to know. Just pass the damned test!"
