Darn it! That jerk actually played me!As I gritted my teeth and inhaled sharply in frustration, I flipped my wrist to revealthe silver needle hidden in my sleeve.All that effort was for nothing-I had brought him back from miles away, believing Iwas doing him a favor.Should I make him suffer like those rogues, every nerve screaming in pain? Ormaybe I should go for the lower blow, ruin his manhood, and make sure he nevernoveldramadares to flirt with another woman again?Since he took advantage of me like that, the least I could do was devise theperfect punishment.And then it hit me.Without hesitation, I raised my hand and jabbed the needle into the back ofTruman's neck.His body jolted, muscles locking up for a moment-then he went limp, completelyunconscious. A few minutes later, I was at Melody's door, ringing the bell withTruman slung over my shoulder. The door opened quickly. Melody stood in thedoorway, blinking at our awkward position with clear curiosity in her eyes."Ms. Carson, may I help you?" She asked coolly, her tone surprisingly calm.Her nonchalant reaction caught me a little off guard.""Ahem!" I cleared my throat awkwardly, then said slowly, "Ms. Melody, you'veseen how Truman's been harassing me these past few days. Today, he evenfollowed me. He clearly had some shady intentions.""He had shady intentions with you?" Melody arched a brow, giving us both a long,amused look.The way she glanced between us made it very clear what she was thinking.Judging by the position you two are in right now, are you sure it wasn't the otherway around?I caught on immediately and shot a quick glance at Truman-out cold and entirelyat my mercy. "Of course," I said firmly. "He couldn't win, so I took him down. Whatyou're seeing now is the result. And honestly, I hope this helps you see his truecolors.""He's an Alpha, and you took him down? An Omega like you?" Melody looked atme skeptically, lifting one eyebrow again.There was something off about her tone-like she knew more than she let on.What dCould she possibly know who I really was?No. I'm probably overthinking. No one here knew my actual identity.e mean by that?I shook my head and offered her a serious suggestion. "Yes. That guy's nothingbut a player. If he's not your destined mate, you'd be better off ditching him andpicking someone loyal.""Oh, and I'm starting a new company," I added. "If you're willing, I'd love for youto come work for me.12:45 Mon, 30 Jun G KIChapter 772 Interested in Jumping Ship?Whatever Truman's paying you, I'll match it. Do well, and I'll even introduce youto someone who might be a good mate. What do you say?""You're poaching his right-hand woman. Does he know?" Melody blinked insurprise."He doesn't need to," I replied, letting Truman slide off my shoulder and thud ontothe floor. "Losers don't get a say.""Let me be blunt," I continued. "I have a good impression of you. But Truman? I'vehad enough. If you walk away from him and join me, I won't have to hold backthe next time I deal with him."Melody tapped her chin thoughtfully. "So technically, I just saved his life, didn't I?""Huh? I guess you could say that.""I answered without thinking, then quickly realized I was getting sidetracked. Istraightened up and corrected myself. "That's not the point. I'm asking you onething: are you in, or not?"
