Melanie took out Burning Star Studio’s proposal after Eugene was done. She said sincerely, “Mr. Lowe, you have a reputation among industry insiders for being fair and reasonable.

“That’s why Xander told me that he hopes you’ll be able to give your opinion after going through Burning Star Studio’s proposal.”

She said this beautifully. Melanie showered praise on Jackson and used his reputation as a reason to have him view her proposal. This made it difficult for Jackson to reject her.

Jackson could not help throwing another contemplative glance at Melanie.

By the time the meal was over, Eugene’s and Melanie’s proposals were in Jackson’s hands.

Even though he said nothing about them, it was at least a slight improvement to the situation.

Before they left, Candy looked at Melanie. It seemed like she was unwilling to leave just like that. She hesitated as she kept moving closer to Melanie.

Melanie stopped and turned toward Candy. She took out a box of lemon drops and gave it to Candy.” This candy is lemon flavored. Do you like it?”

Blushing, Candy reached out for the candy. She said shyly, “Thank you, Melanie. I like it a lot!”

Xander had given Melanie the box of lemon drops before she left. It was the same as before, and Melanie liked the taste of the lemon drops.

Candy took Melanie’s number before she left.

Melanie watched as Candy skipped happily toward the car while following Jackson. After that, she turned to look for Eugene.

Jacob and Eugene were chatting. Jacob smiled when he saw her come over. “Candy seems to like you a lot, Miss Smith.”

Melanie replied, “She’s very adorable.”

“Candy doesn’t have any siblings, and we’re too busy with work to take care of her. I saw you

exchange numbers just now. If you have free time, I hope you’ll be able to chat with her. But you don’t have to do it if you’re busy.”

Jacob said in a friendly manner, and Melanie nodded. “I will.”

Melanie sighed with relief after Jacob left.

At least there was progress with Redwaves.

“Why are you so nervous?” Eugene asked.

Melanie replied, “Aren’t you nervous? What will you do if Jackson Lowe still feels LeapCo is not up for it after going through your files?”

す

Eugene did not reply. He asked Lee, “Is there anything else scheduled this afternoon?”

Lee glanced at Melanie. “We’re meeting Mr. Walsh.”

Melanie knew what it meant. “I won’t be joining you. I’ll be heading straight for the hotel

She did not sleep well the night before and had rushed out early in the morning to see Jackson, Melanie did not look well at all.

The last two days had been a complete mess, and the situation with Dylan had exhausted her.

Melanie was still feeling fearful over Dylan banging her head against the bed railing in the hospital

To be honest, she had forcefully suppressed her emotions back then.

Melanie knew Dylan too well. Moreover, Dylan had been so obvious with her attempts at getting

Melanie to talk.

As for what she wanted to know, Melanie had no idea.

That was why Melanie was stoic throughout and did not reveal any emotions. She wanted to prevent Dylan from grabbing any opportunity to take advantage of her.

Dylan was not crazy. She was smarter than anyone thought.

When Melanie closed her eyes last night, all she could see was Dylan’s savage expression.

Melanie’s exhaustion appeared on her face the moment she turned away. Before she realized it, a figure suddenly stood in front of her.

Eugene looked stoically at Lee. “Bring the car over. We’re going back to the hotel first.”
