Chapter 453
Viola looked at Eugene hesitantly. “Eugene…
“Mrs. Scott arrived this morning out of the blue, and you weren’t around. I didn’t know what to do. I might have angered her.”
Viola spoke as she looked at Eugene’s expression. She had never thought Eugene was scary until today.
Subconsciously, she took two steps back.
Eugene still looked indifferent. His gloominess from facing Stella had not faded, even becoming more intense.
Melanie gestured to Lee before leaving.
It would be better to stay away from Eugene and not provoke him when he was angry. That was what Melanie had learned from those few years working with him. Moreover, she was the representative of Burning Star Studio. She could not let herself get into an awkward situation with Eugene.
As she left, Viola looked at Eugene in grief and asked softly, “Eugene, are you angry?”
Lee could not stand her foolishness anymore and tried to stop her. “Mr. Scott has just returned from signing the contract and is tired. Miss Shaw, please let Mr. Scott take a break.”
Viola’s expression changed slightly as she looked at Eugene with tears shimmering in her eyes. “Do you think I shouldn’t have gone to Burning Star Studio to ask for an explanation? They were responsible for your injury. Don’t you think they should explain?
“Or is it because…” Viola sobbed as she continued, “You can’t bear to implicate Melanie. Is that why you didn’t ask them for an explanation?”
Eugene looked at her. Even without saying anything, his gaze ran a chill down Viola’s spine. His gaze was deep and cold.
Viola felt it looked merciless.
However, the coldness soon dissipated as he lowered his voice and said indifferently, “Leave the site to Lee to deal with. It’s hot outside. You can work in the office instead.”
Viola was startled. She knew what Eugene meant by that, and her hands clenched into fists..
Eugene was saying she should stop handling the project…
It seemed to her that it was because of Melanie. Viola looked at the ground and recalled what Mason said about Eugene and Melanie’s past.
Just as Viola was feeling sad about it, she received a message.
She glanced at the words and bit her lip. Then, she headed out of the office to make a call.
After Lee followed Eugene to his office upstairs, he hesitated to speak.
Eugene broke the silence impatiently. “Speak if you have something you want to say.”
Lee hesitated for a second before saying, “I wanted to tell you this when we returned. Miss
Chapter 451
Shaw suddenly told me that she could go to Burning Star Studio’s site this morning through a call, but I didn’t expect she would cancel the contract.
“I only knew about it when Xander asked about it. However, he sounded displeased when he reached out.”
Viola did not know this, but Lee knew LeapCo would not cancel the contract with Burning Star Studio because the cooperation involved Blue Inc and the related department. If LeapCo breached the contract, it would be the same as disrespecting Blue Inc.
Most importantly, Burning Star Studio was one of the best companies in Jepton. If they got another company to take over, the project might not turn out well.
LeapCo might even lose the money they invested in the project.
No one would be willing to lose money in business.
With Burning Star Studio’s fame, it would attract more attention.
“Xander is displeased?” Eugene asked carelessly. “What does it have to do with me?”
Lee pondered before saying, “Miss Shaw seems to not understand the situation. I’m afraid she might go to Burning Star Studio again.”
Eugene was startled for a second before asking indifferently, “Can’t you even deal with such a simple matter?”
