Melody is back

Oliver was confused, didn't Melody died 5 years ago how could she be here? Oliver cannot make a mistake, this face was too familiar to him. It was definitely Melody. But how? His mood suddenly got very complicated, many questions were running through his mind. Unconsciously he called out her name in a very low voice, "Mel..." But as soon as he uttered the name he felt pain in his heart.

"Sorry what is that Mr. Knight?" Mr. Hiller didn't hear what Oliver said so he asked again.

"It's nothing. Which department did she join? Ask her to come and see me right away." Oliver's eyes narrowed as he said to Mr. Hiller coldly.

"She's in the investment banking department, Mr. Knight. What happened? Is everything alright?" Mr. Hiller was confused with the sudden change in Oliver's mood, he thought Oliver didn't like the woman's CV.

"I told you to ask her to come and see me. Why are you asking so many questions?" Oliver said again but this time he was a bit angry.

"Yes... yes sir." Mr. Hiller swallowed hard and quickly walked out of Oliver's office to call Emily.

After Mr. Hiller left, Oliver opened Emily Luis's CV again. Her resume was one of the richest among all the people that were recruited this year. She graduated from Harvard University in the United States and has won the title of excellent student for four consecutive years. She has published five financial papers and was proficient in Chinese, English, Korean, and Spanish.

Emily was sitting in her cubical at that moment watching the stock market and reading numbers. She has always been very curious about numbers since she was a child. She used to sit with her father and watch the stock market and slowly grew a likeness toward numbers since young. When she was in high school she decided to study finance.

"Miss Luis, CEO Knight asked you to go to his office right now please." The manager of the investment banking department received a call from the HR manager, he quickly came to inform Emily.

Emily expected this, she knew the moment Oliver will see her resume he will call her, she smiled faintly in her heart and thought Mr. Knight I am ready to meet you. However, she pretended to be surprised as she asked the manager, "What does CEO Knight want from me?"

"I don't know. Hurry up. Mr. Knight doesn't like to wait for people." The manager said coldly.

"Ok." Emily stood up quickly and walked toward the elevator to go to Oliver's office on the top floor.

Oliver was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looking at a distance absent-mindedly. He was holding Melody's picture in his left hand. This picture he has been watching for years and crying silently, how can this person suddenly turned out to be alive that was beyond his understanding.

Emily stood in front of Oliver's office door and gently knocked on the door with a smile.

"Come in." Oliver turned and went back to his desk. He put the photo upside down on the desk and sat down calmly, however his mind was anything but calm.

Emily walked inside confidently and stood in front of Oliver as if she didn't know him. Emily gently nodded her head and said in her soft tone, "Good Morning, Mr. Knight. I am Emily Luis, you ask me to come and see you."

Oliver stared at the woman in front of him as if he couldn't move his eyes. The woman was wearing a khaki and black knitted knee-length dress, which complimented her figure well but she still looked very professional. Her eyes were big and bright and they have a firm and confident look in them.

Oliver stopped breathing for a second there, yes, it's Melody! There was no doubt that this face was Melody's.

"Who are you?" Oliver looked at Emily fiercely, but there was a flash of nostalgia and longing in his deep eyes.

"CEO Knight, My name is Emily Luis." Emily smiled brightly. This smile looked like spring flowers, pure and innocent, which make people feel fascinated with it, and her bright eyes looked like stars, brightening the whole room.

At this point, Oliver was sure the woman in front of him was exactly like Melody. Like Melody, her delicate face looked fresh and elegant, and with the light make-up on the beauty even enhanced into a few levels.

"Can you play the violin?" Oliver asked, looking at her sharply. There was a lot of indescribable emotion coursing through his mind at that moment.

"Yes, I've been playing since I was a child," Emily said with a faint smile.

"Then why didn't you become a musician rather than coming here to Knight International to work?" Oliver asked lightly trying to see through the woman in front of him.

"Well, I like to play violin and has been playing for a long time but you see, when you do something for a long time it becomes boring. So I wanted to pursue a different career. Since I am good with numbers and Knight International is one of the best in China, I decided to join it." Emily shrugged her shoulders.

Oliver stared at the familiar face for a while. The same face, same twinkling eyes, same expression. If she was just a doppelganger then she wouldn't be able to copy her to this extent unless she grew up with Melody, which was impossible. So Oliver concluded this woman was Melody but how was she alive and how did she end up in the US? Why did she even change her name to Emily Luis?

He hasn't seen her for years, but she didn't seem to change at all, only her childish face has become more mature and feminine now and looks more attractive. Oliver picked up the photo fame from his desk and held it in front of Emily then asked, "Do you know this woman?"

Emily looked at the picture and said calmly pretending to be a little puzzled, "This is me but from where Mr. Knight got a picture of me?"

"This is you? Are you sure?" Oliver's deep voice slightly raised as he asked back.

Emily nodded and repeated solemnly: "yes, of course, this is me."

"Melody?... You are Melody!" Oliver whispered.

Emily pretended to hear the name 'Melody' for the first time as she asked confusedly, "CEO Knight, what are you talking about? Who is Melody?"

"You... you are. Melody, you are really back." Oliver stood up excitedly and within a second he reached to Emily.

"Mr. Knight, I'm sorry. I think you are making a mistake. I am Emily Luis and I don't know anyone called Melody." Emily said with creased eyebrows as she took two steps back.

"You are Melody. Look at me. I'm Oliver." Oliver stared at Emily not understanding why she was denying that she was Melody.

Emily looked at Oliver with a confused face for a while then she suddenly pretended to have a headache and said with a face full of pain: "I can't remember, Mr. Knight, you must be making a mistake."
