Chapter 454
Lee rubbed his nose. “I’m afraid she’ll be unhappy about me stopping her.”
Eugene looked at Lee coldly.
Lee was taken aback, and his expression looked more serious. “I got it.”
Melanie headed to the villa after leaving LeapCo.
Reny and Yvonne were both there. Only then did Melanie know what happened to Terence.
Terence’s family background was poor, and he was not close to Oliver. He had always been a loner and worked silently.
After being fired by Xander, he could not accept it and thought of seeking forgiveness from Eugene. He thought that he might have the chance to get his job back at Burning Star Studio.
Reny was full of pity when she said, “Actually, Terence is a nice guy. I wonder if Xander was too harsh for firing him.”
She looked at Melanie, wanting her opinion.
Before Melanie could say anything, Yvonne approached and smiled as she said, “You said Terence did that to save time and labor costs. That means this wasn’t the first time he did it. This time, Eugene was the victim. What if someone else gets hurt the next time?”
Yvonne took an apple and peeled it as she said, “Moreover, some habits can’t be changed. Do you think Xander should risk his studio’s name just for someone’s bad habit?”

After eating the apple, she clapped her hands and said, “Come on. I’ll treat you all to a meal. My friend opened a new French restaurant, and they serve good food.”
Melanie did not move. “I haven’t organized the documents.”
They had nothing to do, so they chose to wait for Melanie to finish her job before taking their meal.
It was mealtime when they arrived at the restaurant. Many people were there, but surprisingly, Melanie and the others saw Viola and Mason at the restaurant.
What caught their attention was the bouquet in Mason’s hand.
Yvonne lifted her eyebrow meaningfully. “We seem to have bumped into something we shouldn’t be seeing.”
Melanie only took a glance at them. She did not care about the relationship between Viola and Mason. After all, she disliked both of them.
Reny took out her phone and secretly took a photo of Viola and Mason’s back view.
Yvonne frowned. “What are you doing?”
Reny grinned cheekily. “Keeping it as a memory.”
After Mason and Viola got into their private room, she frowned as she glanced outside. She seemed to have sensed someone looking at her.
Mason noticed her action and asked gently, “What’s wrong?”

Viola wanted to tell him the truth but did not want to seem oversensitive. She shook her head. “Nothing. I just feel bad that you’re buying me this meal.”
Mason looked like a gentleman. He was quite presentable after he dressed himself up.
He handed Viola the bouquet. “Haven’t you been saying you’ve been in a bad mood recently because of quarrels with your boyfriend? I saw these flowers on the way here. I hope your mood improves after receiving this.”
Viola was startled upon seeing the flowers and muttered, “He has never given me flowers.”
“What?” Mason pretended he did not hear what she just said.
Viola hid her embarrassed expression and said, “Nothing. I like these flowers. Thanks.”
Mason smiled politely as he looked at Viola and poured her a glass of water before asking, “ Why did you and your boyfriend quarrel? You can confide in me if you don’t mind. “After all, I’m a man. I might be able to help you analyze his thoughts.”
