His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 132

He lifted her hand and planted a kiss on the back of it.

Clap, clap.

The audience erupted into applause as Melanie withdrew her hand immediately. Most people could only see the kiss Frank planted on her hand, but he had also licked her hand. It was brief, and he released her hand instantly after. It was as if it had never happened.

The area he had licked and kissed her burned. It was a tickly feeling, like a cat's tongue. It made her heart skip a beat.

Melanie's cheeks flushed red, but she did not dare expose what he just did in front of the audience. She smiled and lowered her head shyly, acting like all the praises she had just received embarrassed her.

Only Lily narrowed her eyes at them and looked at Melanie with a smirk. Lily was too far away to see what Frank had done, but based on Melanie's reaction, it was not due to the compliments she had gotten.

Melanie was the type of person who would claim credit for something that was not hers, so she certainly was not one to be bashful in the face of praise. There was something more going on between them.

Back on the stage, the host continued to compliment

the pair, "Looks like Mr. Moreau and Ms. Thayer are quite like-minded, and this is something that we're glad to bear witness to. The main purpose of this year's sampling event was to show the world that our local perfumers are just as qualified as those abroad. We strongly believe that this industry will grow, and we'd produce more talented perfumers in the future. We believe that those of you present today will be our forerunners in leading this industry into a brighter future."
