Chapter 704
Stephen’s voice came from the call, and Melanie walked to the balcony. She looked at the scenery outside with pursed lips.
“This has been dragged on for so long. We’re finally getting somewhere.” Stephen sighed. He had gotten someone to keep an eye on Dylan and George.
A few months had passed, and things should be ending soon.
However, Melanie was not relaxed. Emotions boiled in her as she looked into the distance silently.
Her mind would not rest if the matter was not completely solved.
Stephen, who did not get a response from her, knew what she was thinking and comforted her, “This matter is finally progressing, and it’s a good sign.”
Melanie grunted in response and chatted with Stephen for a little while more. Stephen did not want to disturb Melanie for too long and hung up the call after a while.
Then, Melanie headed back to her room. She let out a sigh. Stephen was right about the progress being a good sign.
Moreover, this was a huge progress.
Melanie called Xander the next day, mentioning Blue Inc. Xander agreed to send her the documents at night.
“When are you returning to Jepton?” After talking about work, Xander mentioned the topic again.
It seemed that Stephen had told him everything.
Melanie said, “They’ll contact me.‘
It was pointless for her to go back early. Moreover, Melanie felt Viola would not admit to her charges so soon.
With all the matters striking at the same time, Melanie felt tired. Something hit her, and she asked, “Is Harvey or anyone in Oskon City hostile toward you?”
She pondered and added, “Maybe someone with conflicted interests?”
Last night, Eugene reminded her that Harvey and the person behind him would not target Burning Star Studio without any reason.
Melanie told Xander about Harvey rejecting them and Eugene’s thoughts.
Chapter 704
Xander was silent momentarily before saying, “I’ll look into it. Don’t contact Harvey for now. I’ll tell Mr. Fuller about Jackson.”
Melanie agreed and heard Yvonne’s voice from Xander’s side. She was startled and asked, “Is Yvonne with you?”
“Yes.”
When Yvonne took the phone, she sounded joyful, but her emotions immediately shifted when she talked to Melanie. She asked in a pitiful tone, “Mel, when will you be back? Reny and I miss you so much.”
Melanie hesitated before saying, “I think Hugh can return first.”
Yvonne was surprised. She sounded angry when she asked, “Did he bring you trouble?”
“No.” Melanie pondered on how to explain. She felt she had troubled Hugh enough.
Hugh had been pretending to be her boyfriend, and Melanie found the situation strange.
Even though she had promised to pay Hugh, she still felt bad using him.
What happened last night made her feel bad.
It was not that she was being pretentious. Yvonne was the one who introduced Hugh to her. If something like yesterday happened again, Melanie would feel it was inappropriate even if Hugh did not mind.
Melanie explained to Yvonne as she headed to the conference hall,
She decided to put things aside and get her job done first.
