Chapter 504
“Riverville Road?” Eugene’s voice sounded indifferent.
Xander’s villa was on Riverville Road, and Melanie had been staying there recently.
Nodding, she added, “Thank you.”
Eugene scoffed. He placed his hands on the steering wheel but did not intend to start the engine. He said, “Sending my former secretary to her new boss‘ place… Melanie, have you ever seen such a magnanimous boss?”
He sounded self–deprecating.
Melanie’s eyelashes fluttered. “You could’ve chosen not to drive me back.”
Eugene said, “So that you’ll have an excuse to complain to my grandpa?”
Melanie did not want to have a pointless argument with Eugene. She rolled up the window, leaned against it, and closed her eyes.
She was tired after working during the day and helping Henry greet the guests.
However, because Eugene had the pungent smell of alcohol on him, Melanie could not sleep even after she tried.
She felt drowsy, and the surroundings were silent.
The car moved on the road steadily.
Slowly, she fell asleep soundly.
It was a deep and peaceful nap.
When she woke up, she noticed they had arrived at the villa.
Melanie rubbed her aching forehead and snapped out of her daze.
She had been sleeping in this awkward position, and half of her body felt numb.
It was dark in the car, but the sky was getting brighter.
Melanie squinted her eyes and looked at the time on her phone. It was already four in the morning!
Rubbing her numb arm, she was about to leave the car.
A deep voice sounded from beside her. “Are you going to leave just like that?”
Melanie froze and looked at Eugene.
Half of his body was in the dark. She could not see his expression, only his jawline with the help of the dim light from outside.
She had no idea if Eugene had not slept all night or if he just woke up. His voice sounded a little hoarse. “Melanie, you slept in my car for the whole night. Don’t you have anything to say?”
“You could’ve woken me up.”
Eugene’s voice sounded a little sexy as his hoarse voice resounded in the car. “So, you’re blaming me for it?
“Melanie, you’re good at blaming others.”
Melanie remained silent for a while before saying, “I’m going in.”
Eugene said nothing and looked at the rising sun. He glanced at his phone. Its battery had died. Eugene stepped on the accelerator and sped off in his car.
He sped in the direction of LeapCo’s building.
Meanwhile, Viola opened her eyes and found herself in a hotel in the city center.
She felt her chest was heavy, and she could barely breathe.
The splitting pain in her head was killing her. The smell of alcohol and an ambiguous scent lingered in the air.
Her mind was blank. When she saw the man sleeping beside her, her eyes something struck her.
There were scratches on the back of the man and hickeys on his neck.
