I Became His Sweetheart by Bright Eyes

Chapter 320 A Huge Shock

The next day, Melanie packed a light luggage and met up with Mr. Smith. The weather was excellent,

and they went up Mount Coloss together.

Mr. Smith’s assistant drove the car, which was filled with various professional filming equipment.

When they arrived at their destination, Mr. Smith took a few scenic shots of the wilderness in Mount

Coloss.

“Didn’t you say you were partially inspired by the potpourri made by the family on the mountain in

concocting the fragrance? Shouldn’t we go to their house and snap some photos? That’d be so much

more meaningful.

than just scenic shots of Mount Coloss,” he said.

“I think so, too.”

Melanie smiled.

“That’s why I wanted to invite you to stay at the family’s house for the night. I even brought two sets of

perfume blending tools for the old lady. We have to get her permission first before we can take any

photos,

though.”

“Don’t worry about that. I have my ethics, too.”

Mr. Smith instructed his driver to turn back in the direction that Melanie said, eager to visit the family

living in

the mountain.

The old lady and the two youngsters were pleasantly surprised to see Melanie once more. The entire

family

was happily busying themselves around the house, preparing food and drinks for their surprise guests.

It came to Melanie’s mind to ask them for their names. The young girl and her brother called each other

Shane

and Pam. The old lady didn’t remember her own name, and no one had asked her about it. Her identity

was

simply the mother of these two children.

Melanie presented the perfume blending tools she brought to them, to which the old lady was filled with

gratitude. She then brought up the fact that she had brought a friend over to take some photos for a

perfume exhibition. The old lady’s interest was immediately piqued as she listened heartily to,Melanie

talk about the

series of perfumes she concocted.

“My photographer friend is very interested in Mount Coloss. Aside from taking scenic shots of the

mountain,

he also wants to take some shots of your house. We will eventually use these photos in my perfume

exhibition. Are you okay with that?” Melanie seized the chance to ask.

The old lady nodded without any hesitation. She wrote on a piece of paper, “My family has nothing to

hide. Let

him take photos as he pleases.”

“Thank you so much! We will let you take a look at all the photos he takes, and you can delete anything

you find inappropriate,” Melanie promised.

Melanie, Mr. Smith and his assistant stayed the night in the family’s house. The next morning, Mr.

Smith woke

The old lady looked through the photos, and readily agreed for them to use everything and that nothing

needed

to be deleted.

Before they left. Mr. Smith said regretfully, “Madam, I’d really love to take photos of you. I saw you

making the potpourri by hand yesterday and found such a moving scene…”

The old lady waved her hands profusely, saying shyly that she didn’t want her face to be shown in the

photos.

Mr. Smith tried to push his luck. “How about just taking a shot of your hands? I’ll take a photo of your

hands

as you make potpourri.”

The old lady finally agreed to his request. Mr. Smith then held his camera in his hand and focused his

lenses

on the old lady’s hands, finally bidding her goodbye after taking his fill of photos.

The old lady saw them out of the house with her children in tow. Melanie slowed down her pace, and

asked, ”

Madam, do you and your children want to attend my perfume exhibition? The photos that we took at

your

house will be exhibited together with the perfumes.”

Pam’s eyes lit up when she heard Melanie’s invitation. She clearly wanted to go, but Shane shook his

head at

her, reminding her that they should listen to their mother in this regard.

The old lady thought about it before finally shaking her head.

Shane explained, “My mother rarely leaves Mount Coloss, and that is so for my sister as well. I’m

usually the one who leaves the mountain to buy necessities. They might not be used to the world

outside.”

“I understand.”

Melanie pulled out three exquisitely designed invitation cards, and handed them to the old lady. “The

date, time and venue of the perfume exhibition is written on the card. If you decide to come anyway,

contact me. I’ll

send a car here to pick you up.”

“Thank you,” Pam and Shane replied unanimously.

After leaving Mount Coloss, Melanie didn’t return to Harbor City. She headed straight for Willowfort with

Mr. Smith to prepare for the perfume exhibition.

Mount Coloss was nearer to Willowfort, and traveling there straight would save her some time. They

reached

Willowfort after a few hours’ drive.

Mr. Smith said that he knew of an excellent restaurant, and insisted on treating her to a good meal after

the tiring journey. Melanie agreed to it, and brought some employees of Jones Enterprise to the

restaurant with

her.

When they walked into at the restaurant that Mr. Smith mentioned and went through a corridor, they

saw a waiter with a tray of food entering one of the private rooms. Melanie saw the two women seated

inside.

One was Olivia, who had just fled Harbor City. The other was someone who came as an unexpected

shock to

Melanie.
