“Hey, where are you going in a rush like that? Did not you see Mr. Scott? He’s here for you, is not he?” Yvette reached out to pull her back, her tone puzzled.

Melanie did not stop walking. “He didn’t come here to wait for me.”

Viola was still here today. Eugene had probably come to pick her up.

She lowered her gaze. She did not really care. She just did not want to see Viola’s smug expression

later.

She could not stand the thought of that flea bouncing around in front of her happily.

Yvette pulled her back. “Geez, what are you talking about? His eyes were fixed on you just now.”

Yvette shook her head, grabbed Melanie’s hand, and brought her directly to Eugene. Without missing a beat, she asked, “Mr. Scott, are you for Melanie? If you are, just let me know.”

Melanie froze when she heard Eugene’s deep voice. “Yes,” he said, “I’m waiting for her.”

Yvette said, “Then why were you waiting without saying a word? You should be glad I wisened up to the situation. Otherwise, she would definitely think that you’re here to wait for someone else.”

With that, she waved her hand readily. “Alright, I’ll get going.”

As soon as Yvette was gone, Eugene unlocked the car. “Get in,” he said flatly.

Melanie did not move. She looked at Eugene. “If you need something from me, you can just say it here here.”

Eugene’s eyebrows moved slightly, and he clicked his tongue softly. “I thought you knew why I was here. Howard had come to see me and called me his son–in–law in front of some important clients. He even said was going to treat us to dinner tonight.”

He said it so casually that Melanie’s pupils shook. Howard actually went straight to Eugene!

Feeling frustrated, Melanie clenched her fists and reminded him through grited teeth, “You could’ve just rejected him directly. Besides, he’s getting ahead of himself.”

Eugene’s dark gaze was deep. He looked at Melanie and said nothing.

Even so, Melanie could see in his eyes that he was not going to take no for an answer. Maybe he was not actually in such a good mood right now.

Melanie did not know exactly what Howard had told Eugene, or what his actions had cost Eugene, but at the end of the day, Howard was still aiming for her.

After a moment of silence, she opened the car door and got in.

Lee and the driver were not there. Eugene had driven here himself. They did not say a word on the drive over. The silence in the car was stifling.

When they arrived at the restaurant had booked, Melanie said in a low voice, “If you don’t like what’s going on, you can just leave first.”

Eugene lowered his head and adjusted his cufflinks. “If I leave first, by tomorrow everyone in Oskon City’s business circle will be talking about how I arrogantly disrespected my father–in–law.”

His voice was matter–of–fact when he spoke, as if he was just stating the truth.

Melanie listened to the obvious sarcasm in his tone, but she was powerless to refute it, because

Howard might actually be capable of spreading such rumors.

She took a deep breath. “Then I’ll explain it to him. He misunderstood everything.”

Eugene looked at her and said indifferently, “Do you think he’ll believe you?”

He did not seem to care either way.
