Chapter 341
The atmosphere in the office froze a little. Melanie’s eyelids trembled before she said slowly,” We’re not discussing terms. We’re amicably negotiating a possible cooperation.”
Eugene lifted his gaze slightly, and there was a faint coldness in his expression. “Negotiating? Melanie, I already rejected your offer of a deal.
“Or have you forgotten already?” Eugene looked at her impassively. “I never touch a toy I’ve thrown away.”
Melanie’s breathing caught in her throat.
He was talking about Burning Star Studio anymore.
Her heart pricked, and it took her a while to pack up the documents she had brought. “Then I’m sorry for taking up your time, Mr. Scott.”
Eugene’s cold gaze landed on her. His thin lips were pursed tightly, and his jawline was clearly taut. His entire body was enveloped in a faint cold aura.
He said sarcastically, “I thought you’d be faring better after you joined Xander.”
At the mention of Xander, Melanie’s hands moved a little faster.
Eugene’s expression was cold and dark. His tone took on an edge of warning that even he did not notice. “His family is not as simple as you think. I would advise you not to get too close to Xander.”
Melanie paused. She looked slowly at Eugene. “What do you know?”
Eugene snorted and tapped his slender fingers on the desk casually. His voice was very calm. ” Didn’t Xander tell you that he has already been chased out by his family? They’re already nurturing a new heir. Why else would he have gone overseas and started an indie studio?”
Eugene gave her a contemptuous half–smile. “Sorry to say that you’ve chosen the wrong guy to cozy up to.”
Melanie did not know much about Xander, but she could tell from the occasional conversation at work that Xander did not get along with his family.
When Eugene saw that she was silent, a dark look flashed across his eyes. He was about to speak when Melanie looked up.
She had lost a lot of weight recently, but her skin was still very fair. The evening light shone in through the window and landed on her face, making her beautiful facial features look more determined.
She looked at Eugene, her lips moving slightly. “I never ‘cozied up‘ to anyone. You don’t have to tell me about Xander, either. Eugene, your high and mighty attitude really annoys me.”
As soon as she said, Melanie packed her things. She took the documents and was about to leave, but before she left the office, she exhaled and said in a low voice, “I’ve left you the
information on Burning Star and Dreamcatchers. You can let Lee verify everything. If you’re willing, Mr. Scott, Burning Star will always be happy to work with you.”
With that, she left the office.

Viola was upstairs, staring at the door. As soon as Melanie came out of the room, she met Viola’s gaze.
Melanie pretended not to see her, said goodbye to Lee, and left.
When she went downstairs, she bumped into Yana who had just left work.
Yana’s head was drooping. When she saw Melanie, she perked up and greeted her with a smile. “Melanie, do you want to have dinner together?”
Melanie thought for a moment and agreed. She texted Reny and Xander, then she drove Yana to a nearby Japanese place.
Yana sighed. “Melanie, I missed the time when you were around. Everything was arranged and orderly. I didn’t even need to bring my brain to work.”
“Haha, I wasn’t that impressive!”
“You were! While you were away, we went through a bunch of different people. It took forever for us to settle on Hannah.”
Yana was full of complaints. “And Viola acted like she was going to join the secretary’s office too! Didn’t you see that look on her face? She’s totally a two–faced witch.”
