Melanie was indeed drunk, and her mind was a mess. Her grip on Eugene’s shirt was shaky.
Euegne’s gaze fell on her hands, and his voice sounded emotionless. “You’re good at drinking.”
Melanie’s eyes were a bit red as tears shimmered in them. She had lost her usual composure.
Fluttering her eyelashes, she asked slowly, “Don’t you hate this kind of event?”
Euegne had weird habits. He did not like smoking or even drinking if it was unnecessary.
Melanie had been working by his side, and she remembered his preferences well.
Eugene lifted his eyebrow, ignoring Melanie’s grip on his shirt as he sneered. “When did you become so professional again?”
Melanie’s throat was dry, and she felt dizzy.
She leaned against the swing. She couldn’t exert much strength in her hand, so she let go of Eugene’s shirt and pursed her lips. “Viola is also in Prime City.”
Eugene froze. “So?”
Melanie pondered with her eyes lowered, and when she was about to speak, she saw a man beckoning them. “Mr. Scott, Mr. Jein and the others are waiting for you at the villa.”
Melanie’s words were interrupted. She looked at Eugene, who nodded and looked back at Melanie.
She was a little dizzy, but fortunately, she had taken a hangover pill from a waiter. She could still think clearly.
She understood Eugene’s intention and followed him to the villa.
The villa entrance was planted with Begónia trees for decoration purposes. It was a dim path.
Melanie was night–blind and tipsy, so she could not walk straight.
She walked step by step with care, trying to adapt to the darkness.
However, Eugene stopped suddenly.
Melanie did not notice that and bumped into him.
Eugene’s cold voice sounded. “Don’t you even know how to walk now?”
Melanie held her nose and stepped back as she explained, “I didn’t expect that you would stop.”
Eugene sneered. He was tall, and they were standing close by. Melanie could vaguely see his tall figure.
As she could not see clearly, she felt a sense of pressure.

Clenching her hands into fists, she said, “Simon and the others are waiting.”
Just as she tried to remain calm and wanted to take another step to avoid Eugene, she missed her step.

Her heart hammered, and she closed her eyes, yet the pain she expected did not strike her.
Eugene had pulled her to her feet.
Her heart skipped a beat, and before she could react, Eugene had pulled her by the arm toward him.
Melanie was not dizzy any more. The shock had caused a chill to run down her spine.
Eugene’s hand gripped her arm as he clicked his tongue, saying, “You’re still so dumb.
Melanie wanted to retort, but she had just gotten a scare and her throat was feeling uncomfortable. She could not get her voice out of her throat.
Eugene glanced at her. “Did that scare you? Are you that useless?”
Melanie uttered a word, and Eugene let go of her arm. He held her wrist instead.
This physical contact startled Melanie, but she soon snapped out of disbelief. She bit her lower lip and said hoarsely, “I can walk by myself.”
