Tommy froze. 'Exposed already?'
"Yes, Madam. The house in Jansburg is indeed in your name."
Melody gasped when she heard the news. "Tommy, how could you put my name on it? How dare you take matters into your own hands on something so important!"
"I didn't act on my own, Madam. It was President Fairchild's order."
"M-Mr... Mr. Fairchild?" Melody's mind went blank, buzzing with confusion.
"Originally, Mr. Fairchild was going to buy it in your name alone, Madam. He only added his own name to the deed later," Tommy explained.
Melody hung up, her thoughts in a complete mess.
'Evan Fairchild wants to put the Jansburg house in my name?' This felt even more like she was his kept woman.
Claire Walsh walked up and stood behind Melody. "Madam, shall we head back?"
"Let's go back."
Melody had been so focused on calling Tommy that she hadn't noticed Claire Walsh walking back into the sales office and buying the very unit Melody had been looking at—in full.
