Chapter 654
Melanie looked at him and said, “Go ahead and answer the call. I’ll wait for you here.”
Xander nodded, took his phone, and left.
Melanie sat in the wheelchair and pondered about something seriously.
She was so immersed in her thoughts that she did not notice someone was standing before her.
Eugene looked at her and said indifferently, “The doctor suggested you rest in bed for a couple of days.”
Melanie lifted her head and looked at him. She hesitated before saying, “You shouldn’t have gone against Xander. Harvey wanted to see that.”
She was sitting in a wheelchair and had to lift her head to look into Eugene’s eyes. Her eyebrows were furrowed as if she was pondering about this.
They were far from the noisy crowd. Melanie thought for a moment before saying, “Why didn’t you tell me about the new terms Matthew mentioned?”
“Do you think I should’ve told you that when you were feeling unwell?” Eugene lifted his eyebrow as
he asked Melanie.
He looked at the wheelchair and sneered. “I don’t know if I should praise you for being dedicated or Xander for being a good boss. You’re here to work even when you’re in a wheelchair.
“I feel sorry for you if Burning Star Studio doesn’t reward you for being such a diligent employee.”
Melanie knew Eugene was mocking her, but she felt nothing.
She looked at Eugene with her clear eyes. “I’m working at Burning Star Studio and must prioritize
their benefits first.”
Eugene scoffed. “Looks like Burning Star Studio pays you well.”
Melanie asked calmly, “Wasn’t I dedicated to LeapCo too?”
She did not want to retort to Eugene, but according to the situation, they had to cooperate if LeapCo and Burning Star Studio wished to present themselves in the tender.
However, Eugene was finding fault for no reason, which annoyed Melanie. She was already feeling troubled by the tender issue. At this moment, she could only retort.
Eugene did not show much of a reaction and looked at her calmly,
Melanie felt uncomfortable sitting there. She had many things in mind and felt depressed.
She did not want to talk to Eugene anymore and stood up from the wheelchair before heading out of the conference room.

She wanted to get some fresh air.
However, she did not notice a pair of eyes had been following her since she got up and left.
Viola had been sitting by Harvey’s side, yet her gaze never left Melanie. When Melanie left the conference room, she excused herself and headed out as well.
At the same time, she made a call.
The person answered the call as soon as she walked out. Viola’s voice was no longer as sweet as before. She asked, “Where are you? You can do it now.”
Viola watched where Melanie headed, and a vicious look appeared on her face.
She could not accept the fact Melanie was pregnant with Eugene’s baby or that she was living such a good life. Xander was there to protect her even after she left Eugene’s side.
She would never let Melanie live a better life than her.
What Melanie owned should have been hers!
