Chapter 624
She brought up the matter the next day when she was talking to Xander about Redwaves.
“Did something happen?” he asked.
Melanie had her suspicions but had no definite evidence, so she just said, “The water heater in the room isn’t very good. It’s also a bit far from the elevator. The corridor is too long to come back to at night.”
Xander was silent for a moment before he said, “Change it, then. The expense will be
e covered.”
Melanie agreed to it easily but had no intention to use company funds for it. She was about to chat with Xander about Redwaves‘ situation when she heard a knock on the door.
It was not even eight o’clock yet. Doubt appeared in Melanie’s eyes for a moment. After ending the call with Xander, she went to open the door.
When she opened the door, she saw Lee standing at the door. He handed a document to Melanie and said, “Mr. Scott asked me to give this to you. They’re some of LeapCo’s plans regarding Redwaves.
“Mr. Scott said that since LeapCo and Burning Star will be working together, it would be best to be honest with one another and help each other.”
Melanie looked at the document, her brows knitting together slowly. This was probably LeapCo’s response after adjusting to the rules for Redwaves.
There was a brief pause before she eventually accepted the document. “Is Mr. Scott busy recently? Xander might want to look for him to discuss specific issues.”
After deciding on the time with Lee, Melanie asked again, “Is he still having a fever?”
Lee smiled faintly and replied, “His fever broke this morning. He has to meet a client in the morning, so he won’t be going to the conference hall.”
Melanie’s hand with the document trembled slightly. She turned around and went back into the room to grab something before leaving for the conference.
When she got to the entrance, she happened to see Eric exiting a taxi with his document bag. When he saw Melanie, he jogged up to her and greeted her.
“How are you? I heard you got into an accident the day before yesterday when I was having a meeting with my teacher. Are you alright?”
“I’m fine,” Melanie replied.
“That’s good. Say, don’t you think you’ve been pretty unlucky recently?” Eric said, scratching his ear.
Looking at Melanie sympathetically, he said, “I was locked up in the laboratory that day. You know, that was the only power outage we ever experienced from the beginning of our experiment. You two have terrible luck.”

Melanie mulled it over for a moment calmly. She then asked, “Has the electric circuit been repaired?”
“I stayed up late the night before yesterday to fix it,” Eric said. “Right, you have to find some time to come and take the information Xander wants. Otherwise, I’ll forget it again.”
Melanie agreed, but her mind was currently buzzing with many thoughts. After putting together what she had experienced in the past few days, Melanle was certain that none of them were accidents. They could not all be coincidences.
Thinking this, she asked, “How’s Mr. Fuller? The power outage must have caused a huge issue for guys, no?”

Eric waved his hand. “It’s fine. We fixed it the night it happened. Mr. Fuller has been occupied working on a design with Mr. Gamer these days. If he comes to the conference, he’ll just be destroying the organizer’s reputation. What’s wrong? Are you busy?
“Oh, right. Mr. Fuller asked me to tell you that you can go look for him at the laboratory if there’s anything you’re unsure of about Redwaves. Since he’s also Xander’s teacher, he’ll definitely help you guys.”
That afternoon, Melanie initially wanted to go to a nearby restaurant with Yvette to get something to eat. She did not expect to bump into a woman face–to–face as soon as she arrived at the door of the hotel.
When Bianca saw Melanie, she felt no embarrassment. She smiled and took the initiative to say hello. “What a coincidence.”
Melanie looked at Bianca, her expression dark. She did not want to have much contact with her.
Seemingly not noticing the indifference in her eyes, Bianca looked behind her. When she did not see Eugene, she got a little disappointed and asked, “Why are you alone? Where’s your handsome boyfriend? Did he not come with you?”
