Chapter 582
She looked away after a glance. Pearl Hotel was known for its high price and luxury.
Eugene must have had his eyes on someone if he was willing to spend so much money.
She was not interested in taking part in a meaningless get–together like that. She told the teacher that she would like to return to the hotel later to get some rest.
However, Eric said, “Why would you be going back? Mr. Gardner and Mr. Zeitman will be attending the get–together as well. It’s a good opportunity to get to know them and learn more.”
The teacher Eric had introduced was Fuller. He said as well, “They’re busy right now but they have a good relationship with Xander. I’ll introduce you to them later. Did you know that Zeitman wanted to invest in Burning Star back then but Xander rejected his offer?”
Melanie had no idea about this but since Fuller had voiced out, she felt it impolite to reject the offer
and she went to the get–together with them.
Pearl Hotel was on the other side of the city. There were more than twenty of them there.
Eric asked Melanie, “Do you want to share a ride with me?”
Melanie did not reject the offer.
“Oh, Mr. Scott, I wanted to take a taxi there and I totally forgot that you have a driver.” A chuckle could be heard from behind her. “Well, I’ll be thick–skinned for tonight and take a ride in your car.”
Melanie turned back and saw Eugene and an exquisite–looking woman walking out.
That woman was almost pressing herself against Eugene and there was a bright, inviting smile on her
face.
Melanie recognized her as the woman who told Eugene not to give empty promises.
When they walked past Melanie, the woman greeted Fuller enthusiastically. Melanie turned her face to the side and avoided looking at them.
However, Eugene paused in his footsteps. He swept a casual glance at Eric and looked at Melanie. After that, he turned to Fuller.
He said politely, “I’ve heard a lot about you, Mr. Fuller. If you don’t mind, I have some questions for you. I didn’t manage to find a suitable time before and I wonder if you’re willing to give me some time?”
Fuller replied in a friendly manner as well, “You’re much too kind, Mr. Scott. Go ahead and ask me anything you’d like to know.”

Eugene looked down and he spoke with sincerity and humility, “I wouldn’t want to take up too much of your time. If you’re willing to, why not come along with me to Pearl Hotel?”
Fuller nodded readily. “Sure.”
Eric took the opportunity to ask, “How about taking in another two people with you, Mr. Scott?”
Eugene nodded. “Sure.”
He replied very decisively and the woman from just now looked a little bewildered. “What about me, Mr. Scott?”
Eugene said calmly, “Lee, help Miss Jones get a taxi.”
Yvette Jones was about to reject this offer when Melanie spoke up, “I’ll take a taxi. I need to get something, anyway.”
This cheered Yvette up. Before she could say anything, Eugene said flatly, “Lee?”
Lee gave a light cough and looked at Yvette, “Please come with me.
Eric said to Melanie in a low voice, “Mr. Scott is pretty nice. He knows that Mr. Fuller had a bad experience with Yvette Jones‘ company previously. If he let her into the car. Mr. Fuller might flip out.”
Melanie relaxed her frown.
She had made the wrong assumption.
It was no wonder that Eugene left the woman on her own while allowing Melanie to get into the car.
He did not want to offend Fuller.
