Chapter 59: To Embarrass Her

Irina arrived with the exam papers, an indicator that the M exam was about to begin.Looking around,
Irina was able to catch Melody asleep on her desk, as usual.But Ms.Scott decided not to wake 4
Melody up.

Even after handing out the exam paper, Melody was still sleeping.

Halfway into the exam time, everyone was working through their exams while Melody was still in
dreamland.

Just when there were only five minutes left, Melody finally woke up.

Irina smiled proudly to herself with the thought that, with the given time left, Melody could only write her
name.

Melody was sure to fail and it would be possible for her to be kicked out of school.

And that mere thought was satisfying.

When the bell rang, all the students stood up and then handed over their test papers.

Melody was no exception.

Irina received one paper after the other, glancing at the students’ faces and not their papers, especially
Melody's.

For Irina, five minutes wasn't even enough to answer at least one question so she felt like she should
not waste her time looking at Melody's paper.

And as for Melody, she was nothing but a country girl who never read a single word before, and so she
would surely fail the exam.



Melody walked out of the examination room.

It wasn't long until she saw Lance running towards her, his forehead beaded with sweat.

The sight of Melody made Lance feel guilty.

"I'm so sorry, boss."

He apologized with his face in a frown.

"I didn't expect Ms.Scott to be so ruthless and calculating.She bribed the teacher in our examination
room to watch over me and that old fart didn't let me pass my paper early’’ he whined then sighed.

Melody glanced at him indifferently and uttered, "It's fine” .Because it wasn't a big exam, the
arrangements weren't too strict.

The two exams were separated by a ten-minute interval.

After a while, the bell rang again.

Lance continued to promise Melody that he would provide answers to her.

In the end, he wasn't able to do so since the teacher assigned to them was still the same which didn't
make his plan easier.

And nothing changed with Melody, too.

She fell asleep as soon as she sat on her desk, then during the last five minutes, she would wake up
and write on her paper.

Seeing her like that, Ms.Scott didn't bother watching over Melody anymore.



It was obvious how Melody stood no chance anyway.

When the school bell rang, Melody was the first one to get out of the classroom.

And when she left, the class erupted in gossip and questions.

"Did you see that? Melody just slept throughout the entire exam, and then five minutes before the time
ends, she'll write her name and then hands her paper” one said, giggling.

But then the student who sat next to Melody interrupted, "But her papers were quite full.It's not only her
name that she wrote"

Hearing this, one of the students scoffed.

"Even if it's full, it's probably scribbling.What else do you think she can write in five minutes?"

She rolled her eyes.

"She probably thinks she's some kind of god who can top the exam miraculously?"

Lance was able to hear everything from where he stood and listening to them talk to Melody that way
only infuriated him.

Lance heard the others talking about Melody and by the looks of it, she was going to fail the exam and
would have to leave.

But then he realized that he had to find Melody.He needed to know which university she would attend
so he could change his plans.

Unfortunately, Lance wasn't able to catch up with Melody.He rushed to the school gate but Melody was
already about to get in the car.



The car wasn't a Maybach this time.

It was a black Mercedes.

But that no longer surprised Lance since it shouldn't be new that Melody would ride in luxury cars.

After all, she was the chairman of the Sullivan Company and would inherit hundreds of millions of
properties.

At the thought of that, Lance just sighed.His boss was truly a boss.

After Melody got in the car, he handed Melody the latest report.

"Your position has almost been handed over, Director Sullivan” Zachary started.

"Linda informed us to go to the office as there is a project contract that needs to be signed by the
chairman, so you have to be prepared.'' Melody understood what was the meaning behind Zachary's
last words.

Linda had always looked at Melody as someone inferior and refused to let her take the position.

One thing was for sure, it wouldn't be an easy day.

Taking in mind Atty.Lewis' reminder, Melody found it in her to remain calm.

Her gaze fell on Atty.Lewis, her eyes calm but still cold.

Noticing that Melody was looking at her, he felt a chill run through his spine.He cleared his throat.

"If you have anything you want to say, please do tell me, Director Sullivan” Melody's lips parted as she
was about to say something.



"It's nothing serious.It's just that Director Sullivan sounds so old.You can just call me by my name.’
Atty.Lewis was not able to argue with it and immediately nodded.

"Alright, Miss Melody,’’ he said politely.

Even with how he addressed her, Atty.Lewis felt as if it was inappropriate to call her simply that. He
was a lawyer and he knew how to deal with a conversation like that.But it was Melody who insisted on
it, so he knew he had to let it go.As long as he didn't call her ‘Director’, he was going to be fine.

Being called ‘Chairman Su' almost sounded more like they were calling her grandfather.After arriving at
the Sullivan Company, Melody was led by Atty.

Lewis to the chairman's office.

Upon reaching the office, Linda was already waiting for them there.

Linda had always been referred to as someone who was rather cruel and difficult to deal with.

When Melody opened the door, Linda showed respect.She stood tall as she made a small bow.

"Director Sullivan” she greeted.

Melody only glanced at Linda as she walked into the office.She was perceived by the secretaries as a
newbie who dared to show arrogance towards Linda.

"Look at the new director.She even ignored Linda’’ Agatha Reed said.

Another secretary spoke up but made sure it wasn't too loud.

"What are you talking about? She looks pretty good despite looking like a student.’’ She pursed her
lips.



"But do you think she can beat Linda? I heard that the daughter of the Sullivan Family from the
countryside is sturdy."

She raised a brow, looking at the other secretary.

"Her being given that position was most likely a public statement but she would probably be gone in a
week" Agatha didn't believe it.

"Really? Who did you hear it from?" she asked.

"Who else?" the other asked.

"The assistant by President Sullivan's side.It's true.It would be, at most, a week.’’

It wasn't that Linda didn't hear the whispers.She just had been with the Sullivan Family for years that
she knew the changes in the business world.

And she could see that Melody was more imposing than any of the heirs of the family.

Linda just didn't know whether Melody could last for a week or even months because that was
something beyond her knowledge.What she need to do was her work.

She walked into the office with another secretary and then placed a document in front of Melody.

"This is the document that needs your signature, Director Sullivan” Linda said firmly yet still with
respect.

Melody nodded, her face was beautiful but still blank as ever.She reached out for the document and
opened it.

The secretary who came in with Linda was surprised when she saw the document in Melody's hands.



That reaction was because the file Linda gave Melody wasn't the translated proposal but the original
copy sent by the other party.

It was from a German partner and so the language of the contract was written accordingly.

Not only that, the document had a lot of jargons included.

Even if the top students of the German Department came to help, it would take time to translate it all.

And it was well known that the newly appointed chairman had not studied college and yet she was
being asked to read such a complicated contract.

Maybe it was Linda's way of making Melody feel foolish and unworthy.

The little secretary who followed was panicking inside, afraid of what Melody's reaction would be.She
could feel that Melody would not be able to get out of that situation.
