Chapter 466
Melanie went out, and she happened to bump into Reny, who was counting things. She went over to help.
Eugene had come for work reasons. He left after confirming that everything was in order. Melanie followed him out into the car park and asked, “Are you satisfied today?”
He paused while opening the car door, his gaze deep as he looked at Melanie. “Which aspect are you talking about?”
“The construction progress,” she replied.
He casually answered, “There’s an improvement compared to last time.”
His eyes suddenly stopped at Melanie’s left shoulder, his brows furrowing slowly.
Following his gaze, Melanie realized that she had gotten white dust on her clothes at some point. She patted it off and then turned to Eugene, saying, “Since there’s nothing you’re not satisfied with, I’ll go back to help. Mr. Scott, have a safe trip.”
The distance and rejection in her tone were almost explicit. Eugene just looked at her blankly. The evening sky was not too dark yet, and the evening breeze made his facial features appear somewhat gentle.
His deep black eyes remained fixed on Melanie as he maintained his cold tone. “Don’t forget what you promised me.”
He was referring to meeting his grandfather. Melanie nodded. “I won’t forget.”
Melanie and the group worked overtime at Burning Star Studio for several days. Melanie finally felt that everyone could take a breather when Yvonne came over.
However, instead of worrying about the others, she immediately went up to Reny and Melanie. “Can you two do me a favor?”
“What favor?”
“I’m going to attend a friend’s sister’s birthday banquet tonight, but I don’t want to go alone. Will you two accompany me?”
Reny immediately refused. “Spare me, okay? I’ve been working the entire week, and this is only day off. I’m not going anywhere.”

Melanie also did not want to go, considering Yvonne’s circle of friends mostly consisted of the scions of Jepton. There might be a few who she knew. She did not want to deal with them as it was too much trouble.
Yvonne clung to her arm and would not let go. “Mel, you can’t abandon me.”
Melanie was puzzled. “Don’t you have other friends? Get them to accompany you.”
“It’s not the same.” Yvonne shook her head and whispered, “Come on, Mel, just accompany
me.”
Melanie still wanted to refuse her, but she suddenly heard Xander say, “Is it Carlisle’s sister?”
Yvonne froze, and Xander clicked his tongue. “Disappointing.”
Melanie’s biggest impression of Carlisle was that Yvonne had bungee jumped three times for him. She had initially thought Carlisle must be a playboy to make Yvonne act like that and totally did not expect him to have a scholarly appearance.
He had fair skin, a slender figure, and wore a pair of frameless glasses. He also had slightly long black hair, which gave him a somewhat melancholic look.
Melanie instinctively felt that Carlisle was either very cunning or had some underlying issues.
Yvonne also saw Carlisle, and her grip tightened around Melanie’s hand. She then lowered her head to look at her phone, muttering, “Where is he?”
Melanie asked, “Who are you talking about?”
Yvonne raised her head, her tone playful. “My sweetheart boyfriend.”
Her voice was sweet as honey, and Melanie noticed that Carlisle had glanced in their direction with a deep gaze.
