Chapter 830
Melanie was busy as she was still following Matthew’s plan and working tirelessly. This would likely go on for about a month or so.
A curious newly hired employee asked her, “Miss Smith, you work so hard. Doesn’t your boyfriend have any complaints?”
“I don’t have a boyfriend,” she replied quickly.
The employee did not believe her. “There’s no need to be shy. We’ve been seeing a handsome guy waiting for you downstairs to pick you up after work every day for the past few days. Even if he’s not your boyfriend, you guys are probably close, right?”
She was referring to Xander, who had been coming to pick Melanie up from work every day since he recovered from his injuries.
“Look, he’s waiting for you downstairs again,” the employee said to her, Melanie glanced over and saw Xander’s tall and handsome figure.
She looked at the employee and asked, “Don’t you have to leave now that work’s over?”
The person smiled knowingly as they left. When they were at the door, they could not resist adding, ” You’ve good taste, Miss Smith.”

When Melanie reached the ground floor, it was snowing lightly. Xander handed her the umbrella. ” Hold this for me.”
Melanie instinctively grabbed it before even registering the request, The next moment, a warm scarf was wrapped around her neck. It smelled like Xavier.
As Xander adjusted the scarf around her neck, his hand brushed past her ear. Melanie blinked, lowered her head, and buried her face in the scarf.
Xander said in a bright voice, “It’s cold today. I think this will keep you warmer.”
Melanie nodded. Their relationship had clearly changed since they returned from the mountain. Melanie was not naive, nor had she said things like she would not find another man for the rest of her
life.
Hence, she would not outright refuse it either when her friends introduced blind date prospects to her.
Yvonne posted her New Year’s vlog and urged everyone to share it to increase its popularity.
Yvonne’s vlog was well–made and featured events from Christmas until now. It documented her daily life, which also included interactions with other people–such as Melanie giving Xander soup and Xander pouring water for Melanie.
“Are you also watching Yvonne’s video?” Henry’s gentle voice sounded as he sat down next to Eugene.

Eugene expressionlessly closed his phone. “I happened to see it on my friend’s social media.”
“Did you see Mel? Is she in a relationship? I saw her being quite intimate with a young man. He seems to be from the Solomon family?” Henry inquired.
Eugene lowered his gaze, his tone slightly cold as he replied, “I didn’t see.”
“Sometimes when I think of Mel, I think about how our family owes her. She’s been through a lot.” He sighed.
“But this is good too. As long as she’s doing well now, I won’t ask for anything else.” Henry was lost in his own thoughts and did not notice Eugene’s gradually darkening and chilly gaze.
“I’ll repay her everything I owe her. Whatever she wants,” he said after a while, his voice low. Henry did not catch his words.
When Melanie checked her messages again, it was after dinner. She thought about giving the
employees some pocket money to celebrate, but when she opened her phone, the first message that popped up was from 2: [Happy New Year.]
In a good mood, Melanie replied with the same greeting and was about to close the conversation when the other person practically replied in an instant. They transferred money to her account.
