Chapter 576
The flight attendant paused and then apologetically explained, “We encountered turbulence due to air currents. I noticed you
looked uncomfortable while sleeping and thought you might be feeling unwell, so I came over to check on you.”
“Did I disturb you? I apologize,” she added.
Melanie lowered her gaze. She suppressed her thoughts and said nothing. After turning on her phone, Yvonne’s messages
asking if she had arrived at the airport came in. Yvonne mentioned the sudden heavy rain in Oskon and news reports indicating
that many flights had been delayed. Melanie replied with a few voice messages before putting her phone away.
Considering the challenging conditions on the plane and her physical discomfort, Melanie felt tired. However, the pouring rain
outside made it difficult for her to find a taxi. Despite attempting to use her phone to call for a ride, she had no luck.
While continuously refreshing her phone, she heard someone calling her name. Turning around, she saw Lee standing nearby.
“It’s raining heavily outside, you probably won’t be able to get a car. Mr. Scott said he could take you to the hotel.”
Feeling helpless, Lee picked up his phone, “The heavy rain in Oskon is due to a typhoon. They’ve already issued a suspension
notice. Even if you wait all night, you probably won’t find a ride.”
Melanie did not move and Lee could only say, “You can check your phone if you don’t believe me.”
Checking her phone, Melanie did indeed see the same information as Lee had mentioned. After
hesitating for a moment, she looked in Eugene’s direction.
Lee sighed. “You were once an employee of LeapCo at least. Mr. Scott shouldn’t be so indifferent.”
Coincidentally, Eugene finished his call then and came over, expression blank. His gaze lingered on Melanie for a moment
before withdrawing. He calmly instructed Lee, “Let’s go.‘
“Melanie, where are you headed?” Lee asked.
Melanie casually mentioned the hotel Xander had booked for her. She then sat in the back, gazing out
the car window.
Eugene sat beside her and in the enclosed space of the car, it was hard not to sense his presence. She tried not to think about
him or look at him, but she could still faintly smell the pine scent on him.
route.”

The hotel Xander booked was quite reputable in Oskon. Melanie pursed her lips, not responding. Her gaze remained fixed on the
rain outside the window until Eugene chuckled and asked her, “You look

like you would rather die than yield. Is sending you back to the hotel something too much to ask? Are you feeling
inconvenienced?”
Even in the dim environment, Melanie’s face appeared fair. “I appreciate your help,” she said softly.
The rain outside was indeed coming down hard, causing the trees along the road to sway. If it were not for Eugene, Melanie
doubted she would have found a taxi. Their driver was driving slowly.
Eugene commented in a seemingly indifferent manner, “I don’t see any sincerity in your gratitude.”
Melanie paused, slowly shifting her gaze from the window to Eugene. “What do you think would show my sincerity?” she asked
in an indiscernible tone.
Eugene casually tapped his fingers on his leg and said, nonchalantly, “Let me ask you a question. Have you done it with
Xander?”
