Chapter 483
Melanie did not expect Viola to take the initiative to taunt her. She had not even gone after Viola for what happened with her grandfather and Viola was already running about stirring trouble.
At the thought of her grandfather, Melanie could not help thinking about Dylan.
This frustrated her, and the look in Melanie’s eyes dimmed.
She did not stay out too long and soon went to the construction site to see Xander.
Blue Inc’s exhibition was slated to kickstart in Jepton with a big bang, and they were extremely careful when putting together the exhibits.
Xander was not around when Melanie arrived. Reny was the only one there checking the exhibits against the blueprint in detail.
She initially did not notice Melanie and only realized she was there when Melanie greeted her. She turned to ask Melanie, “What are you doing here?”
“I came over to see if you needed any help,” said Melanie.
Reny did not even think twice when she replied, “This is all technical work that you wouldn’t understand. Xander, Oliver, and the others are at the government department. You could have gone with them if you were here earlier.”
Melanie replied, “Looks like I was too late.”
Reny was right. She did not understand all this technical work, and it would only give everyone more trouble if she continued staying there.
Melanie decided to leave.
Just as she was about to inform Reny about it, Reny suddenly looked up. Her eyes lit up, but she looked a little troubled.
Melanie was taken aback. “What’s wrong?”
“I forgot that I have to sign for a consignment of materials at the supply market. Too many things have been happening and I lost track.”
Burning Star Studio had received two huge contracts, and the timelines for both projects were similar. Everyone was so busy that they could hardly breathe.
Reny was a little anxious about this. Melanie asked, “Can you make it if you leave right now?”
“Yes, I can, but I have to finish the work here by the end of today.”
Melanie looked down. “How about if I go over? If it doesn’t require professional expertise, I can help you with it.”
Reny smacked her head. “You don’t need to be an expert on it. It’s just a bunch of wood. I’ll give you the receipt, and all you need to do is check our purchase against it.”
It was past three when Melanie left the site. She drove directly to the supply market and signed the contract according to Reny’s instructions.
After she was done, Xander called her on the phone. He sounded slightly
Are you still at the supply market?”
and.
“I’m about to leave. Is there anything you need?” Melanie thought Xander needed her to purchase more materials. She said, “I’m still here. You can let me know if you need anything.” “Reny said you were over there, and since Oliver and I are passing by, how about if we meet you there?”
They had to pass by the supply market to get to the government department, so Melanie agreed. “Alright.”
Xander and the others had a good meeting with the department and returned to the villa after meeting up with Melanie.
They planned to head out for a barbecue, but Melanie received a call from Carla right then.
“I’m so sorry, Miss Smith. It’s a last–minute decision, but I’ve decided to go overseas. Can we meet tonight if you have the time?”
Melanie was happy to oblige. “I can work around your schedule.”
After she hung up, Reny looked at Melanie thoughtfully. “Melanie, I just realized that you’re quite different than usual when you’re working.”
“In what ways am I different?”
Reny gave this some thought. “You’re full of confidence when you’re at work. It’s like you’re born to do it.”
Melanie and Carla were meeting at a mall in the city center. The entire day had been a little gloomy, and it looked like it was about to rain.
