Chapter 635
Eugene looked at her with a frown. “What do you mean?”
Melanie smiled sarcastically. “Maybe you should ask Viola about this. She’s such a loyalist to LeapCo. Even now, she’s still trying to get justice for LeapCo.”
When Melanie tried to explain things to Harvey, Viola kept interrupting her at suitable moments to use LeapCo as an example of their victim. The way Viola described it sounded like Burning Star had
caused LeapCo a lot of suffering.
Melanie was reminded of the night before when Eugene received Viola’s message. He had left quickly after seeing it, and Melanie could not help giving him an even more sarcastic look.
She put her phone away and walked past Eugene as she headed outside.
Eugene frowned as he watched her leave. He looked down after a while, and a frosty look appeared on
his stoic face.
Melanie had gone outside to call Xander. She explained what happened with Harvey, and Xander was
silent.
After a while, he said in a deep voice, “Harvey Grant is not a man of good character. Don’t get in too
much contact with him. Wait for me to come over.”
Melanie hesitated. “But it looks like he’s really against Burning Star. What if he continues this attitude? I’m a little worried about it.”
Xander consoled her, “He’s not the one in charge of Redwaves. You don’t need to worry too much
about him.”
Even though Xander kept telling her not to worry about this, Melanie was not able to let this go. She
returned to the conference hall with a troubled look.
Harvey was determined not to include Burning Star in the tender, but Melanie did not want to give up just like that.
She had met plenty of difficult clients before. One more would not make a difference.
Moreover, Burning Star’s capabilities were well–recognized by the industry.
However, Harvey’s attitude and Viola’s actions resulted in many people throwing her strange glances.
Yvette had a good relationship with Melanie. She approached Melanie to ask, “Did something happen between Burning Star and Mr. Grant? He’s obviously working against you.”
Melanie pinched between her eyes and said nothing. Yvette continued in a whisper, “But I think you should show more concern for Mr. Scott. That dainty assistant just walked off with him. I saw them speaking quite intimately when I walked out.”
Her words made Melanie pause a moment before she slowly raised her eyes. “What does this have to

do with me?”

Yvette said, “Stop pretending. I know there’s more to your relationship from the way Mr. Scott keeps hovering over you with concern.”
“Mr. Scott is handsome, rich, and has a great body. He’s a pretty good catch.” Yvette patted Melanie’s shoulder and sighed. “Do you know how difficult it is to find a man like that nowadays?”
Melanie did not continue this topic with Yvette. All she cared about was how to change Harvey’s impression of Burning Star.
That safety incident was an accident she could not change because it was true that it happened.
Melanie continued worrying about this even until the conference was over.
Fuller and Eric came over to console her. She nodded as she thanked them.
She did not expect to bump into Eugene and Viola together when she walked out.
Since bumping into Eugene at the door, she had not seen him. It looked like he had been with Viola all
this time.
They were on the balcony at the corner of the corridor on the first floor. As the washroom was being cleaned upstairs, Melanie had to head downstairs instead. She did not expect to catch sight of Viola pushing herself up against Eugene.
They were probably too occupied with each other to notice her.
Melanie turned around and did not continue going forward as she walked away.
She did not want to make things awkward.
However, Melanie did not know that Eugene took a step back the moment she left. He put some distance between himself and Viola.
His attitude toward her was very cold. “Where’s the file you said Mason Gray gave you?”
