Chapter 513
Melanie followed Eugene into LeapCo’s office. It was late at night, and no one was in the building. Only Melanie’s and Eugene’s footsteps could be heard.
Melanie stopped in front of the elevator. “I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to be around when you
deal with LeapCo’s matter.”
She could guess why Eugene rushed back to LeapCo at night even though she had not listened to his full conversation on the phone.
She looked at the dark surroundings and hesitated, wanting to wait outside.
“You were the one who delivered the document.” Eugene looked colder in the dark. The gentleness Melanie saw from before was gone.
It was as if everything had been Melanie’s hallucination.
Eugene’s intention was obvious. Melanie had to follow him. After all, she touched the document.
Melanie’s heart sank as she followed Eugene to the president’s office.
It was different from the ground floor. The president’s office was brightly lit. Lee, Julie, and the intern Melanie had seen the last time were all around. Other than them were the company’s higher
executives.
When they saw Melanie, their expressions changed slightly.
Melanie did not mind. Calmly, she sat on the couch and waited for Eugene’s next move.
To her surprise, Eugene only said, “Lee, check the surveillance footage of the company and the surrounding area for the past week. Take note of the people who entered my office.”
He paused before continuing, “Check those who entered my office when I wasn’t around.”
His target was obvious. After all, not many people would enter Eugene’s office when he was not
around.
Melanie lifted her eyebrow with her lips pursed and said nothing.
Julie’s gaze landed on her a few times while she walked around with the documents.
Melanie was still calm.
Everyone in the office was nervous and anxious. People were walking around with serious expressions.
Only Melanie was sitting on the couch idly.
She was texting Yvonne. Yvonne was complaining about her father forcing her to go on a blind date again, and her date this time was Carlisle.

Melanie was about to text her back when a call came in. It was from Xander.
The joyful ringtone rang in a tense environment.
Melanie tapped on the screen and answered the call. Xander’s voice sounded idle and lazy. “Why aren’t you back yet?”
Xander knew she was having a meal with Henry.
Melanie looked at those busy employees around her and said coldly, “I’m in the middle of something at LeapCo.”
The sound of Xander’s breathing softened. “Why are you in LeapCo?”
Melanie was about to explain when a voice called her name, “Melanie, Mr. Scott wants you in his
office.”
When Melanie lifted her head, her eyes met Eugene’s calm gaze.
She lowered her head and said a few more words to Xander before looking at Eugene. “Yes?”
“Are you sure you never opened the document when you delivered it?”
Melanie sat upright. Her habit for years was to sit upright even when she was relaxed. “If I’m not mistaken, there was a seal on the document. You wouldn’t only be asking me about it now if the seal was touched back then.”
Julie interrupted. “What if you pasted it back after opening it?”
Eugene also looked at her.
Melanie was still calm. She looked at everyone and frankly said, “I know things about LeapCo that are more confidential than this. Why would I care about this document?”
She sounded arrogant, but it was true.
