Still, she felt a little uneasy after having accidentally discovered that Eugene had arranged a medical check–up for Melanie. When she asked him about it, he just said that it was an exit examination since she was resigning.
When she enquired with other employees, however, they told her that there was no such thing as an exit examination at LeapCo. With these thoughts in mind, she could not help but look at Eugene with a hint of resentment.
After accompanying her grandfather back to the nursing home, Melanie stayed to have dinner with him before leaving. It was already 11 pm when she headed home, and there were few people left on the road. Melanie floored the accelerator, and the car roared forward like a wild beast.

Resting her forehead on the steering wheel, she breathed heavily, her throat feeling dry and painful. When she finally arrived home, it was late. The moment she opened the door, however, she saw Eugene sitting there on the sofa.
Melanie paused, leaning against the cabinet in the hallway to gather some strength. She heard. her own voice, dry and hoarse, as she asked, “Do you have something to say?”

“What are you trying to prove?” Melanie’s voice was hoarse, her eyes on him gradually. turning blurry. Nevertheless, she stood up with her back straight and repeated, “Eugene, can you tell me what you’re trying to prove? Why must you humiliate me like this?”
As she spoke, a teardrop rolled down her cheek.
Eugene squinted at her for a moment before replying indifferently, “You’re thinking tool much. I just find it a bit distasteful to touch something that isn’t very clean.”
