Chapter 511
Eugene’s words sounded indifferent, but they offended Melanie. She stared at Eugene as her voice sounded serious. “What do you mean?”
“I don’t mean anything. It’s just a deduction based on your logic. Other than me, only you have come into contact with the document.” Eugene’s voice was cold. “Moreover, no one was with you when you took the document.”
He scoffed. “Are you trying to say you shouldn’t be suspected?”
Melanie finally understood that there was another reason why he picked her up today to meet Henry. It was to question her about this.
She looked at Eugene calmly with clear eyes and said, “I’m going to say the same thing. I don’t need to get myself into trouble for nothing.”
Eugene chuckled and got out of the car. Melanie had no idea if he believed her.
Henry was already waiting inside. When he saw them, he beckoned Landon to prepare the food.
Melanie talked to Henry on the living room couch while Eugene had gone elsewhere.
“Mel, do you have any plans for your future job?” asked Henry suddenly. “I know you’re working under Xander now, but the arts field isn’t stable. Do you have other plans?”
Melanie blinked her eyes. “Burning Star is going to enter the business industry. I think I can give it a try.”
She could not get herself to lie to Henry.
Henry looked at her with a frown. “Don’t you plan to work in LeapCo anymore? I heard LeapCo is in trouble now. When you worked there, LeapCo was always fine. You’ve just left and things are already a mess.‘
Never did Melanie see that coming. She pondered before saying, “Business is a field where profits and losses are balanced.”
Henry refused to give up. “What if LeapCo is willing to employ you…”
It was nothing to consider. Melanie said, “LeapCo doesn’t need an extra secretary.”
With a frown, Henry thought about it and seemed to want to persuade Melanie more. However, Eugene said, “LeapCo doesn’t need the help of a secretary even if we are in trouble.”
He had just left his study, and his expression was still cold. Even his words sounded harsh.
Melanie did not mind, but Henry was pissed off. His face was ashen.
He pointed at Eugene, wanting to scold him but not knowing what to say. All he could do was flick his sleeve in anger. “I shouldn’t have asked you to come. You always piss me off.”
Eugene said, “I have plenty of things to deal with at work.”
Henry could not be bothered to hear his explanation. He walked away, leaving Melanie and Eugene in the living room.
Eugene sat opposite her. He had not slept well and had dark circles under his eyes.

Lying on the couch with his eyes closed, he was trying to take a break. However, his brows were knitted together.
Suddenly, his phone on the coffee table rang. He opened his eyes, and the tiredness dissipated.
Melanie sat there as she watched the changes in Eugene’s expression. She looked at the coffee table as she listened to Eugene talk on the phone.
When he finished, Melanie said calmly, “Is the Qaisa family’s partnership so important to LeapCo?”
Eugene was listening to Lee reporting about work. He had not snapped out of his working mode. He questioned Melanie, “Haven’t you been following this project? Don’t you know if it’s important or not?”
Melanie said, “You handed this project to Lee. I wasn’t in the team.”
