Chapter 564
Yana enthusiastically greeted her, “Melanie, did you come to LeapCo for some business matter?‘
Melanie said, “I came to give Lee a document.”
“Is it Burning Star Studio’s?”
“Yes.”
Tina smiled and said, “I’ve been worried about you being unable to get a job, but you’re still successful after changing your career. Burning Star Studio is quite famous now.”
Melanie glanced at her. “I just happened to be lucky.”
“Being lucky isn’t enough.” Tina lowered her voice. “Viola is also lucky. Look at her life now.”
“She’s pretty shameless. I heard she started working in Rockwater after leaving LeapCo, and we can see her occasionally in front of LeapCo’s building.”
“LeapCo and Rockwater are so far away. I don’t believe she walks past here coincidentally.”
Yana and Tina had always generously shared gossip about Viola with Melanie.
Melanie listened without saying anything.
After they finished, she asked, “Lee must have already come to work, right?”
“Maybe. Mr. Scott and Lee have been working overtime recently and sometimes even stay the night here.”
Melanie went upstairs after excusing herself.
She came early to avoid bumping into Eugene. With what she knew about Eugene’s schedule, he would contact the person in charge of each department on the first day of the month to get first–hand information about the company.
Today was the first day of the month.
When Melanie was on the top floor, she messaged Lee and received a reply telling her to put the document on his office table. He was on a business outing and would be back in an hour.
Melanie kept her phone and wanted to head to the office, but the door opened from inside.

Eugene stood before her expressionlessly.
Eugene had a faint tobacco smell on him. Melanie was sensitive to smells and noticed it.
Subconsciously, she took a step back. Eugene noticed her reaction and showed a sarcastic look on his face.
His voice sounded more hoarse than usual. “Why are you here?”
Melanie showed him the document. “The proposal for Burning Star Studio’s third phase and the summary for the second phase.”
She sounded calm since they were just talking business. “Since you’re around, Mr. Scott, please take a look at them.”
Eugene stared at Melanie. His Adam’s apple rolled as he asked Melanie, “Don’t you have anything to say to me?”
Melanie froze and looked at him. “Burning Star Studio trusts LeapCo, and it’ll be better if LeapCo can transfer the investment fund as soon as possible.”
Eugene squinted slightly as he looked at Melanie’s calm face.
He silently stared at Melanie.
Melanie felt uncomfortable under his gaze and said, “Since I’ve delivered the document, I’ll excuse myself now.”
She wanted to walk away, but a force grabbed her wrist and pulled her.
They were at the door, and Eugene pulled her in.
When the door slammed shut, the man held her waist. A warm palm was placed on her belly.
Eugene’s hoarse voice sounded. “Is it really not mine?”
