Melanie’s lips moved, but she had no idea what to say.

Eugene looked down at her and he grunted. “Don’t overestimate yourself.”

“Eugene?” He had just said this when Viola’s voice was heard coming from behind. She had turned a

corner to come over. Her gaze fell onto Melanie as she asked softly, “Melanie, why didn’t you come into

the private room? We were all waiting for you.”

The questioning look in her eyes was too obvious, and Melanie pressed her lips. She tried her best to

hide her emotions. “I just arrived.”

“I thought you weren’t coming.” When Viola said this, she looked at Eugene again. The questioning

look remained in her eyes as she gazed at him.

Melanie knew that Viola was overthinking this again, but she was not in the mood to explain anything.

All Melanie said was that she wanted to get her bag from the private room.

Before she left for the private room, Theo came over. He was holding Melanie’s bag in his hand.

He noticed Melanie looking taken aback, and he passed her bag to her. “I’m sorry. I thought you’d

forgotten your bag when you left in a hurry, so I thought I’d return it to you.”

Melanie took the bag from him impassively. “Thank you.”

Theo turned to look at Eugene. “Eugene, I think Viola has an allergic reaction. You’d better take her for

a check–up at the hospital.”

Viola immediately rolled up her sleeves after Theo mentioned it. There were a few red spots on her

arm. Frowning, she complained to Eugene, “I was fine this morning, but for some reason, I started to

itch just now.”

“There was nothing special with what we had.” Theo then asked, “Are you allergic to anything?”

“I’m allergic to peanuts,” Viola answered.

Melanie’s eyes twitched. She remembered a dish that was served had peanut butter as an ingredient.

She did not have much of an appetite, but since the dish had been placed in front of her, she had eaten

some.

Theo hit himself on the head as he had just remembered this. He asked Eugene, “Why didn’t you tell

me that Viola can’t have peanuts?”

Eugene paused but answered nonchalantly after that, “I didn’t notice you ordering it.”

There was no point in arguing about it any longer. Fortunately, the hospital was not far away from

where they were.

Melanie felt that it was not her place to be following them. She did not move and said brusquely, “I

have work to do. I’ll be going back to the hotel first.”

Eugene did not react much to what she said, and the glance he swept at her was cold as well.

Melanie’s eyelashes fluttered gently. Then, she heard him sneering, “Do whatever you want.”

She felt relieved. Melanie had no energy to deal with anyone.

However, for some reason, Viola frowned and looked at her. “Melanie, I think you should visit the

hospital too. You don’t look too good.”

“I’m fine. I saw a doctor this morning.” Even though she was not feeling well, Melanie could tell there

was some other emotion hidden underneath Viola’s superficial concern.

Viola did not really want her to go to the hospital for a check–up. Viola wanted trouble to ensue for

Melanie if Dylan happened to be at the hospital.

“But you look really pale. We’ll be worried if you go back on your own.” She turned to get Eugene’s

opinion. “Isn’t that right, Eugene?”

Eugene said nothing. Theodore was the one who spoke up, “You’re an employee of LeapCo, after all.

The company should be responsible for you.”

That was when Eugene looked up at Theo. He said with ridicule, “I wasn’t aware that you’re the boss of

LeapCo.”

Theo was surprised by Eugene’s reaction. Viola held on to Eugene’s arm and said softly, “Melanie is

working outstation with us, Eugene. We have to be responsible for her.”

This conversation was making Melanie uncomfortable. She put on a stoic expression and rejected

them a little more harshly and coldly, “I don’t need any of you to be responsible for me.”

With that, she walked out of the hotel.



Viola’s expression froze. Eugene looked away and said nonchalantly, “Come on, let’s go to the

hospital.”

There was nothing else for Viola to say. However, Theodore was thoughtful as he watched Melanie

leave.
