Chapter 661
Melanie looked at the nurse. “Husband?”
The nurse said, “Who else would sit outside the ward? Did you guys argue and you chased him out?”
Melanie said, “You might’ve been mistaken. I’m not married.”
The nurse felt awkward. “Maybe it was the husband of the patient next door.”
Melanie nodded and went to wash herself up with the caretaker accompanying her.
Xander and the doctor told her she should rest for at least two days yesterday. She was worried about losing her child and decided to stay in the ward.
She called Fuller and explained the situation before texting Eric and Yvette, asking them to send her the important points of the meeting that day. Then, she started amending the proposal in the ward.
However, she did not receive the important document. Instead, she received a call from Yvette.
“Although I don’t think it’s the right time to tell you this, you should advise Eugene or Xander.
“They’re arguing in the conference room, and the atmosphere is tense. Honestly, everyone knows the new terms are restricting those from Jepton. If LeapCo and Burning Star Studio don’t cooperate, things won’t turn out well.”
Yvette was reminding Melanie sincerely. Her studio’s style differed from Burning Star Studio’s. They were bidding for a different project, and they were not competitors.
That was also why Yvette was close to Melanie.
Moreover, before Yvette could finish speaking, Eric’s message came in. It was almost the same as what Yvette told her. He was asking Melanie to stop Xander.
After all, it would be a waste to miss such a good opportunity.
Melanie could see Eugene and Xander disliked each other. After all, they were already on bad terms
before the cooperation with Blue Inc.
Melanie pondered.
If they could get the Redwaves project, Burning Star Studio would progress well and have the chance to develop in Oskon City.
As for the benefits LeapCo would get, it was obvious.
Melanie felt troubled. She did not know why the two had to quarrel at a time like this.
Harvey’s attitude was obvious. He wanted them to fight.
Melanie sighed and called Xander during lunch hours.
Xander answered the call quickly, and his voice was gentle. “What’s wrong?”

Melanie rubbed her forehead. “Weren’t you going to meet the client today? Why did you go to the conference hall?”
Xander said, “The client changed the appointment to tonight, and I happened to want to meet Fuller.
So, 1 came.”
“Xander.” Melanie hesitated. “You know better than I do that Jepton is being targeted this time. It means we and LeapCo will have a tough time.
“If we want this chance, we should work with LeapCo and expand our strength.”
Xander knew what she meant and said nothing.
Melanie tried to sound calmer. “Xander, I don’t mean anything. It’s just that I don’t think it’s necessary to ruin our chances because of someone unimportant.”
Xander froze and caught a meaningful phrase. “Eugene is an unimportant person?”
“Does he look important?”
Just as their conversation ended, Lee brought lunch.
He seemed to be in a hurry and wanted to leave after putting down the takeaway boxes.
Melanie called out, “Is Eugene busy today?”
Lee froze and hesitated before saying, “Mr. Scott said he needs to meet a client this afternoon and deal with something.”
Melanie nodded before asking, “Did you find anything about the surveillance camera?”
