After hanging up the call, Melanie realized her forehead was covered in cold
sweat.
Matthew arranged to meet her on the 16th floor of Pearl Hotel tomorrow night.
Melanie threw her phone aside and took a deep breath. As Matthew’s and Howard’s faces flashed across her mind, Eugene’s words lingered in her ears.
Melanie felt depressed and gloomy.
She locked herself in her room for the entire morning until Yvette called her at noon. Only then did her messy mind feel clear again.
Answering the call, Yvette’s voice came through the speaker. “What happened? Did you and Mr. Scott get into an accident?”
“Someone ran into our car from behind.”
Melanie did not want to say much about it.
She thought Yvette had called to ask about the accident, but she mentioned something else. “We’ll pay you two a visit. You’re staying in the same hotel as Mr. Scott, right? Send us the location and we’ll be there.”
Melanie wanted to reject it, but Yvette whispered, “Don’t misunderstand. I just want to take this opportunity to brief Mr. Scott about our studio. Maybe he’ll invest in us.”
Since she had said so, Melanie could not reject her. She sent her the address.
However, she insisted that Yvette did not visit her. She should just call Lee once she arrived.
Unexpectedly, Yvette still came with some gifts and supplements.
Melanie was reluctant to receive guests. “Mr. Scott is upstairs.”
“I know he’s upstairs, but it isn’t appropriate for us to give him a surprise visit. We contacted Lee, but he’s at the hospital. He told us to look for you.”
Melanie said, “You can call Mr. Scott…”
Before Melanie could continue, Yvette interrupted her.
She held Melanie’s hand. “Please help me. I might be fired if I don’t complete my KPI this year. All you have to do is take us there. Please…”
Yvette was adorable when she acted coquettishly and held Melanie’s hand like

this. Melanie had to go along with her request.
Yvette let go of Melanie’s hand only when they were in the elevator. She blinked her eyes innocently. “I’m sorry, but I need to keep my job.”
Melanie’s displeasure dissipated upon seeing her cute reaction. She said, Eugene is wounded, and I’m unsure if he wants to attend to guests.”
“It’s okay. We’re just here to express our concern.”

Melanie knocked on the door a few times when they were outside Eugene’s room, but no one answered. She waited for a few minutes, but no response came from inside.
She looked at Yvette. “He seems to have gone out.”
Just as she spoke, the door opened.
Eugene was only wearing a bathrobe, and his chest was revealed.
Melanie’s forehead puckered as she told Eugene, “Yvette and her colleagues are here to visit you upon hearing you’re injured.”
She spoke fast and in a low voice. Then, she wanted to remind Eugene to change into something more decent. However, he glanced at the people at the door and walked back into the room as he said, “Come in.”
Melanie froze and entered.
When they were in Eugene’s room, Eugene had tidied his bathrobe and was sitting on the couch, looking at them expressionlessly.
Yvette was good at breaking the silence. She smiled and said, “Mr. Scott, we were so worried when we heard you got into an accident. We didn’t even take our lunch and came to visit you once we had the time.”
