Chapter 103: Elders Gave Her Headache
Axel, who had been silent for a while watching Mel chatting with her grandfather, immediately chipped into their conversation. He said, "Mel, congratulations on the launch of the new game. I didn’t think your company could create a game as cool as ’Battle to The Heaven.’ I started getting addicted when I played in the BETA version."
"Wow, Axel, you really like playing games too?" Mel was astonished. She continued her sentence, "And... Mr. CEO Axel Hill, thanks for coming even though I know you have no free time, busy managing a company as big as the Hill Group." She teased him.
Axel waved his hand as if he said, ’Never Mind’ he laughed then said... "Yes. Actually, I’m an MSoft Game fan, all the games you guys make me play for sure." He said proudly. In fact, today, his brother suddenly called him and asked him to come to the game launching event, and he told him to buy the most expensive gift for Mel’s company.
Then Alex handed Mel a small black box the size of a watch case.
Mel was a little bit startled. "Present? Axel, my birthday is still long. You can give it to me later." She smiled at him.
"Mel, don’t you know about tradition? If there is a party event like this or the opening of a new office, close friends must give gifts." He answered casually.
Mel raised an eyebrow, confused.
’Is there really such a tradition?’ She hesitantly accepted the gift. "Axel, what is this?" She studied the box curiously.
"You can open it later," Axel answered mysteriously.
Mel nodded and put the box in her bag.
"Thanks, Axel." Axel just nodded, then he said goodbye to look around the hall with Hiro, leaving her in the room only with Grandpa and Grandpa’s assistant.
After Hiro and Axel left, Grandpa immediately asked Mel to sit down. With a serious look on his face, he said... "My lovely Mel, do you still remember your brother Andrew Miles?" Grandpa paused, then a second later he said... "That William young boy, your childhood crush?"
Mel froze because Grandpa suddenly mentioned Andrew’s name.
Grandpa deeply inhaled before he said with his deep concerned voice, "Old Will said he will get married in July." He sighed again, then said ... "You know, I really like that boy. Several times, old Will and I tried to match the two of you. Still, unfortunately, you suddenly left and disappeared without a trace. So the conversation just passed." Grandpa’s face looked very disappointed. "I thought he didn’t have a companion yet. I have a plan, on my birthday, I would talk again to his grandfather to make the two of you officially engaged. But it turned out that grandfather was late..."
Mel dumbfounded.
’Grandpa, I’m Andrew’s bride-to-be. You don’t need to match us up again.’ She wanted to say that, but it was very unethical because Andrew had not yet met Grandpa and Grandma. Andrew said he wanted to talk directly about their relationship with her elders. And she agreed with him.
"Hmm... I heard that too." She said, pretended not to know.
"My lovely Mel, don’t you like your brother Andrew anymore? You used to like him so much. Back then, you always asked me to go to the Will mansion so you could see your brother Andrew."
"Hahaha, grandpa, that was the past, alright!" Mel tried to divert the conversation, but it seemed Grandpa still wanted to talk about this matter.
She could only sigh silently.
"My lovely Mel, if you still like him, grandpa can help you to snatch him from his future wife." He said with a serious face. "Grandpa can do anything for your happiness." He looked her in the eyes.
Mel speechless.
Instantly she wanted to call Andrew and ask him to tell her grandpa right away. She is afraid her grandpa will do something shameful, such as a plea to grandpa Will.
’Damn it! Why is this all elder giving her a headache?’
"Grandpa, please don’t do anything shameless."
"My Lovely Mel, you know Grandpa feels so sad for you. You are still single while your brother Andrew is getting married soon." He slightly shakes his head, looking so sad.
"My goodness Grandpa, I’m still 21 years old, alright!" Mel rolled her eyes, then she said, "Grandpa, don’t worry about me. I already have a boyfriend." She had no other choices. She had to say it.
Grandpa’s face immediately turned happy again "REALLY? WHO? When did you introduce him to grandpa?"
Mel smiled with relief because right now, she could distract grandfather from Andrew. "Soon!" She said quickly.
"Girl!! You already have a boyfriend?" Grandma, who had just arrived, was surprised to hear Mel say she already had a boyfriend.
"G-grandma? When did you arrive?" Mel was shocked.
Grandma ignored her question... "Girl, why didn’t I know you had a boyfriend? Girl, tell me now, who is your boyfriend?" She asked as she sat down beside her and smiled slightly at Grandpa tanner.
"Grandma, I will introduce you as soon as possible. Actually, now we are looking for the right time to meet with the two of you." Mel said helplessly. She had to ask Andrew to advance his plans to meet these two elders. Otherwise, these two elders will ask her every day.
"What family does he come from? Do we know it?" Grandpa asked curiously.
"Yes, make sure he comes from a good family, okay?" Grandma replied.
Mel sighs in her heart.
After convincing the two elders that Andrew came from a good family, they immediately gave a gift to Mel. Similar to Axel’s motives, they also offer presents out of tradition.
"My lovely Mel, this is a gift from grandpa for launching your new game or think of it as your gift for opening a company, all this time. I never give you anything." Grandpa handed her a brown envelope.
"Grandpa, what is this?" Mel was curious and opened it. Her eyes were wide open when she saw it was Tanner Entertainment’s share certificate. "G-Grandpa... you really gave all these shares to me?" She looked at grandpa with a shocked look.
