Chapter 753
Fine snowflakes fell gently. Carried by the wind, they brushed against the corner of Melanie’s eyes, making her feel chilly.
She looked at her wrist, which Eugene was holding, and her eyelashes fluttered. “Why did you come looking for me?”
Melanie’s expressionless face was reflected in Eugene’s dark pupils. He remained silent for a moment before slowly letting go of his grip on Melanie’s wrist. His voice was deep and husky when he spoke.
“The final part of the report for Burning Star Studio’s project hasn’t been submitted to LeapCo.”

Melanie was taken aback. “The studio is on holiday. The report will be submitted after Christmas.”
Eugene looked at her. “There are many important matters after Christmas, and Burning Star Studo’s report won’t be given priority when handling the documents.”
Melanie raised her eyelids to meet Eugene’s gaze for a moment. After a pause, she relented and said,
Wait a while.”
After saying that, she turned and entered the residential building, preparing to get the report for
Eugene.
After only a few steps, she saw that Eugene was following her again. She could only stop, but this. time, Eugene spoke before she could, “The proposal for Redwaves needs to be discussed further as there are many minute details. We have to submit it after Christmas.”
The bidding for Redwaves would officially start in February of the coming year. Indeed, it needed to be settled soon after Christmas.
Melanie could only let Eugene follow her home.
This was Eugene’s first time visiting Melanie’s home. Upon seeing the shabby appearance of the area, he frowned slightly.
It was indeed too rundown here, with the walls of each building peeling off to reveal mottled marks
inside.
The greenery on the ground floor of each building consisted of various vegetables, and a myriad of Christmas decorations were hanging on poles protruding from some windows.
Usually, there were not many people in the old community, but there were quite a few today. They were all carrying bags and going home to celebrate Christmas.
Melanie opened the door. Turning back, she was not surprised to see Eugene’s dissatisfied look, but she did not mind.
She said, “Be careful when closing the door. The soundproofing here is poor.

Melanie bent down to search in the shoe cabinet and found a pair of disposable slippers. She threw

them by Eugene’s feel “Male do with these ”
The house was sinalt, probably less than a hundred square meters. There were a few pieces of furniture, and they all looked vintage
The old house had no heating and no air conditioning. With the window half–open, cold air came in, bringing a chill
Eugene looked around and then asked Melanie, “Do you plan to live here?”
Melanie froze. “This is my home. Where else can I live?”
Eugene’s gaze was dark and deep. He seemed to have a thousand thoughts churning in his mind.
Melanie found it amusing. However, did Eugene forget that his mother drove her out of Prestige Residences, leaving her with nowhere else to go?
It was already late when she returned. The sky outside was dark.
Melanie poured herself a cup of hot water, sat on the couch with the cup in her hands, and then turned on the computer.
She said, “There are no extra cups at home. I’ll retrieve Burning Star Studio’s report now. If you have anything to say about Redwaves, you can say it now.”
Eugene remained silent. He sat opposite Melanie, scrutinizing her for a while. Suddenly, he asked, ” Have you not been resting well lately?”
Melanie’s fingers stopped typing. The closer it got to Christmas, the more restless she felt.
This year, she had to spend it alone. She had to accept that her grandfather had already left her.
That was why she came back to this house on the 20th. She did not want Xander and the others to notice anything unusual about her.
