Chapter 598
Eugene’s face was pale, and there was no color on his lips. He looked like he was in pain with one hand clutching his stomach.
Melanie realized that Eugene had just gotten drunk the night before, so his old symptoms were acting up again. He was probably still recovering from yesterday, and he had even gone drinking on an empty stomach with Bernard. No wonder he was in pain.
She looked at the glass of water in front of Eugene and reached out to touch it. It was already cold.
Lowering her eyes, she put down the folder in her hand. She picked up the glass and refilled it with warm water before placing it in front of Eugene.
Eugene’s eyes had been on Melanie since she walked into the room.
He glanced at the folder Melanie had left on the coffee table. “What is it?” he said slowly.
Melanie heard the groan he could not keep out of his voice and said, “Lee’s gone to get you some medicine. I’ll leave when he gets back.”
“Hmm.” Eugene did not say anything else. He took one more look at Melanie before withdrawing his gaze and closing his eyes to rest.
However, his unsightly expression told Melanie that his stomach was killing him right now.
Melanie sat quietly across from him without saying a word.
She had known all about Eugene’s gastric problems for a long time now. The only way to relieve the pain was by taking medicine.
However, Lee had been gone for a long time and had not returned even after twenty minutes. Melanie wanted to tell Eugene that she would go downstairs first, but Eugene had already fallen asleep on the couch.
There was still a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. His brows were furrowed, but his long eyelashes drooped down. His breathing was light and shallow.
Melanie looked at his face and saw the faint bags under his eyes.
Ever since that leak at LeapCo, Eugene had been very busy. Even if Melanie did not pay much attention to his affairs, Yana would tell her a thing or two from time to time.
Melanie stood on the spot for a while before turning around to leave.

However, after closing the door, she still called Lee, who said that he was already at the entrance of the hotel.
Melanie left it at that and went down the stairs.
The summit was held for four days straight. Eugene did not come over for the next few days, and Melanie did not run into him at the hotel.
Yvette approached her and asked her about Matthew. “What’s your relationship with Matthew?”
Melanie said, “It doesn’t really matter.”
Yvette did not believe her. “There’s no way it doesn’t matter. If it was really unimportant, Matthew wouldn’t have gone to the bar that night to talk to you alone. Everyone knows that Matthew avoids women.”
Melanie paused. “You knew that Matthew came to see me that day?”
“That’s right. That day, one of our friends went to the washroom and saw Matthew talking to you in the corridor. When he came back, he asked about your relationship.”
Yvette took Melanie’s hand and whined, “Come on, Melanie, just tell me!
Otherwise, my poor Nicole will be sad again. You don’t know how much she likes Matthew-”
She shook Melanie’s arm, making her feel uncomfortable. In the end, she said, “I don’t know him. We just had something else to talk about, that’s all.”
Yvette asked again, “What is it?”
Melanie stopped replying. Instead, she caught another clue in Yvette’s words.
Someone had seen her talking to Matthew that night—
After that, Eugene happened to show up again.
Melanie lowered her lashes and pursed her lips. What exactly was Eugene after?
