The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin) novel Chapter 54

Fred had just come out of the smoking room when he heard several nurses running and complaining.

"What's with that young lady of the Matthews family. Doesn't she need to recuperate quietly? How could she be so hysterical! We certainly has our work cut out."

Fred stopped a nurse and asked, "Who did you just say, the young lady of the Matthews family?"

"How many other young ladies of the Matthews' can afford to stay in the VIP ward?"

The nurse shook off his hand and ran away.

Fred had a bad feeling in his heart.

He had been with Melvin since he first started working for the Freeman group, at least seven or eight years. He had no family nor friends, but Melvin gave him the job.

And Charlotte was the first person who smiled at him and the first person who said she was friends with him.

To him, Melvin was family, and Charlotte was someone more than family that he wanted to guard.

He was fond of Charlotte, but he could only hide this feeling in his heart and bless her.

But now, seeing that she was not doing well, and that Melvin ran after Lyra when Charlotte was seriously injured, he really felt aggrieved for her!

Fred clenched his fists, and something in his heart grew firmer and firmer.

...

After coming out of the hospital, Lyra got a call.

She was in a good mood when she got the news that Charlotte had been admitted to the emergency room again.

Lyra went to the training base again. Now that she had finished dealing with that fake bitch, it was time to push forward the work progress.

Because her little Volkswagen Santana was scrapped last night and she hadn't had time to buy a new car, she had to take a taxi.

The staff were respectful when they saw her, and the person in charge briefed her on the equipment condition and processes that were being improved.

Lyra went around the entire base and roughly checked on everything, and felt that there were no major problems. The show should soon be ready; after the rehearsal, it could officially be aired.

There was a young female employee whose eyes were glowing at the sight of her, rushing up to enthusiastically ask for autographs.

"Lyra, I've seen your 'Lover' video. You're absolute gorgeous. Will you be joining the talent competition too? You are definitely the Center in my heart!"

Lyra smiled awkwardly. She did not expect to meet a fan girl in their own training base, but she pushed back the notebook that the other party had taken out for autographs.

"Sorry, I'm not a star and I won't be a star. This autograph-signing thing is not for me."

With that, she walked around the girl and went away with the head of the training base.

As she was leaving, the fan girl still stared at her back with unblinking eyes. She put away the excited expression on her face and looked down at the notebook with Lyra's fingerprints on it.

After this tidbit, Lyra went to inspect the dormitory and cafeteria of the trainees and asked for the roster of the 100 trainee candidates.

She was just flipping through the pages when she suddenly spotted a familiar name and face when it came to the last few pages.

Melissa Walsh.

She was Lyra's only friend at the orphanage, who had once been very ill, for which Lyra even went to beg Fiona for money.

In the end, Melissa was kicked out of the orphanage because she couldn't get the money for treatment, and the two of them have been out of touch ever since.

Lyra didn't expect to see Melissa in the trainee roster of the talent show now, so it seemed Melissa had been doing quite well these years.

The person in charge noticed that Lyra lingered on one particular page for a long time, whose also seemed a bit excited, so she hastened to fawn on Lyra.

"Is this a good friend of yours, Director? Need any special attention from our side?"

Lyra refused, "No, it won't be fair to the other trainees in that case, and I'm sure she doesn't like it either."

She had no plans to meet with Melissa for the time being.

Just because she presented herself as a lonely orphan in the world, in that way Charlotte and the others could not find a gap to crack her defense. Melissa was her friend, and Lyra did not want her to be involved and get hurt.

Lyra closed the roster as if nothing had happened.
