Chapter 639
Melanie hung up right away. Howard’s words sounded like a joke to her.
He initially insisted that Melanie broke up with Eugene, but he suddenly had a change of heart. Howard must have found out about Eugene’s identity from someone and felt that he might benefit from this.
A sarcastic look flashed in her eyes. Howard surprised her.
Melanie’s eyelashes fluttered downward, hiding her eyes and the emotions in them. She wanted to look for Fuller. She turned, only to see Viola standing not far away. It looked like she had been waiting for Melanie.
Viola approached Melanie when she noticed Melanie looking at her. She stopped right in front of Melanie and looked up as she waited for Melanie to speak.
Melanie looked back at her stoically and asked coldly, “Is there anything you need from me?”
An unhappy look flashed across Viola’s face. She gave a laugh and said, “I heard that Burning Star wants to take part in Redwaves‘ tender. I’m working with Mr. Grant now, Melanie.”
She looked at Melanie while she spoke and could not hide the delight in her eyes. Viola acted like she was much more superior than Melanie was.
Melanie understood what Viola was trying to do. She was here to flaunt her newfound power at Melanie. After all, Burning Star had to wait for Redwaves to choose them.
It was no wonder that Viola was acting so arrogantly.
Melanie said calmly, “What are you trying to say? That it’ll take only one word from you for Mr. Grant not to consider Burning Star?”
Viola frowned when Melanie reacted in a nonchalant manner without revealing any emotions.
She tried to hold back the anger burning inside her as she stared at Melanie. Viola raised her voice slightly.
“I’m just trying to be nice enough to remind you that Burning Star has a bad reputation in Jepton. A big company like LeapCo will be able to testify that something serious did happen because of Burning
Star.”
Viola sniggered as she gained more confidence to continue, “You should stop sitting on your high horse in front of me and think about how to make Mr. Garner change his opinion of Burning Star.‘
Melanie replied with ease, “There’s no need for you to be worried about Burning Star.‘

Her attitude was neutral, and she was not as anxious or in despair as Viola had imagined.
Viola glanced at Melanie again and left in a huff.

Yvette came over the moment Viola left. “What did Miss Shaw want with you? She doesn’t look like she’s a very nice person. Was she here to find trouble with you?”
Melanie asked, “Can you tell a person’s personality by looking at their faces?”
“Well, I’m not bad at it,” Yvette replied playfully. She pointed in Eric’s direction.
“Eric said that Mr. Fuller is looking for you, but he didn’t want to disturb you while you were on the phone. Mr. Fuller got called away by someone after that. You should look for him later.”
Melanie gave an affirmative reply and said nothing else. Her phone vibrated.
She looked down and saw that it was a message from Howard. He had sent her a location. It was probably where he wanted Melanie to take Eugene for dinner.
Melanie ignored the message and put away her phone.
Yvette glanced at her. “Are you in a bad mood?”
Melanie looked up toward Eric and said, “I’m going over to see Mr. Fuller.”
Howard got extremely anxious when she did not reply to his message.
He stood in the corridor and stared at his phone while waiting for Melanie to reply. He kept glancing at the private room beside him.
It had been such a coincidence. Howard was meeting a few business associates for a meal when he bumped into Sam Walsh.
Sam was not someone Howard could meet easily. He initially planned to approach Sam with a friend to try and get associated with him but realized that Eugene was next to him.
