He said it so naturally and his slightly deep eyes kept staring at Melanie.
Melanie said nothing. Yvette smiled and came over to help Eugene. She had just gone to freshen up and she looked bright and pretty when she smiled. “Oh, Mr. Scott, we just agreed that I’m taking you back to the hotel.”
Yvette was born and bred in Oskon City. Her dainty voice was not an act and it was nice to listen to her speak.
She smiled at Melanie. “Do you and Mr. Scott know each other?”
Yvetter was clearly trying to dig deeper into their relationship. Melanie replied nonchalantly, “Our studio is currently working with Mr. Scott.”
“I see.” Yvette changed her tone slightly. “It’s no wonder that Mr. Scott has been taking good care of you. The weather isn’t great right now and out-of-towners like you aren’t used to the typhoon. It’s better that I be the one to take Mr. Scott back.”
Yvette did not beat around the bush and was direct with her words.
If this was before, Melanie would have retorted her but all she did now was nod in agreement.
She turned to leave and Yvette’s sweet voice could be heard from the back. She sounded coquettish and alluring. “Mr. Scott.”
A mixed scent of alcohol and cedar pine wafted in the air along with the voice. There was a drunken mood in the cool air.
The man’s shadow covered her and Eugene’s hoarse voice was heard above her head, “Stop fooling around. I really feel uncomfortable.”
Melanie paused in her footsteps. She looked up at Eugene. The crystal lights in the private room shone brightly and the tipsy look in Eugene’s eyes was obvious.
They looked like they had been dipped in alcohol. They were black and bright, and were like deep, mysterious obsidians.
Eugene’s shirt was buttoned up tight but there was a slight redness at the end of his eyes. His arrogant and distant demeanor instantly turned enticing because of how he looked unattainable to
anyone.
He was very close to Melanie and she could feel the warmth of his body.
Melanie took a conscious step back to put some distance between them and she reminded Eugene in a stoic tone, “You should see a doctor if you’re not feeling well.”
Eugene paused for a moment and he frowned subtly. “What are you being angry about?”
The look in Melanie’s eyes darkened. She wanted to retort to his question but felt that it was a waste

of time to argue with a drunk.
She held back her anger and said, “I’ll help you make a call to Lee.”

Eugene said nothing. By the time Eva raised her eyes to look at him, she realized he was staring at her with a burning look in his eyes.
His lips moved slightly after a while and he said in a deep voice, “My gastric feels a little uncomfortable, Melanie.”
When Eugene first started his company, he had to drink a lot during functions and it has caused some chronic conditions. His gastric had suffered the worst.
It was after LeapCo had started to gain traction that Eugene started to drink less.
There were too many people toasting him tonight and he could not afford to turn them down. It probably triggered an old condition.
“Lee can take you to see the doctor…”
Melanie had just said this when Eugene suddenly hugged his stomach and fell toward Melanie.
The stench of alcohol turned stronger and before Melanie realized it, her hand was already holding onto Eugene.
Eugene was big and tall. He was a head taller than Melanie and his body weight pressed hard against Melanie.
She found it a little difficult to help him up.
“Mr Scott…” A soft, sweet voice rang at the side. Yvette had been watching them in surprise and she helped Eva to move Eugene over to the sofa for some rest.
Melanie looked at Eugene, whose eyes were closed while resting. He looked unwell and his hand was pressed against where his gastric was.
She looked up at Yvette and was about to say something when Yvette shrugged. “Looks like Mr. Scott trusts you more. Do you need me to help you get him downstairs?”
Melanie was taken aback. “Aren’t you supposed to take him back?”
“Well, he clearly isn’t interested in me,” Yvette said graciously. “Rule of the business is to never fight
over a man.”
