Chapter 218
After her grandfather was discharged from the hospital, Melanie did not visit him much due to her busy schedule the past few days. After adjusting her emotions and maintaining a stable. demeanor, she then said into the call, “Grandpa?”
The old man sounded much older than before when he asked Melanie, “Do you have time the day after tomorrow?”
Melanie’s heart abruptly sank. The day after tomorrow was the anniversary of her
grandmother’s death. She had almost forgotten about it from how troubled she had been the past few days.
Her grandfather and grandmother used to be close. Ever since she passed away due to illness, her grandfather had been living alone. Every year on her death anniversary, her grandfather would ask Melanie to accompany him to pay his respects.
The tone of Melanie’s voice softened involuntarily as she replied, “I’ll come to pick you up
of the day after tomorrow.”

Blue Inc was not in the city but in the nearby suburbs. Melanie had agreed to meet the person in charge at two o’clock and had five minutes to spare when she arrived.
After glancing at herself in the mirror and adjusting her makeup, Melanie walked toward the door. The person in charge, Cameron Crane, was already waiting at the entrance.
Smiling professionally, Melanie greeted, “Mr. Crane, hello. I’m Melanie from LeapCo. I’m the one responsible for coordinating with Blue Inc this time.”
Cameron was in his 30s and sported an elegant demeanor. He shook hands with Melanie and asked, “Will you be the only one, or will Mr. Scott be coming too?”
The moment he said that, footsteps sounded behind her. The next second, Eugene’s cold and deep voice sounded. “Mr. Crane.”
Cameron saw Eugene and immediately greeted him, “Mr. Scott, I was just asking Miss Smith about your arrival.”
“I had to deal with some last–minute matters. Excuse my tardiness,” he replied.
Melanie remained where she stood, refusing to turn around. Even hearing Eugene’s voice made her feel uncomfortable physically.
Cameron led Eugene inside. As they passed by Melanie, the familiar scent of cedar that she had grown accustomed to suddenly blew past her like a gust of cold wind, stinging her throat.
Eugene paused briefly beside her and then followed Cameron inside.
Seeing that Melanie was still unmoving, Lee whispered to her, “Melanie, Mr. Scott has already gone in.”
However, Melanie just stood there, wanting nothing more than to turn and leave. She exerted a great deal of effort to restrain the unpleasant expression from showing on her face. She closed her eyes. Nodding, she replied in a hoarse voice, “Why are you two here?”
“Mr. Scott arranged for an appointment with Blue Inc’s representative in the morning,” Lee explained.
