To put it simply, Viola was someone untouchable.
Oskon’s cuisine leaned on the sweeter side, which Melanie did not particularly enjoy.
Because of this, she barely touched her food. The atmosphere at the dinner table
gradually grew lively with people starting to toast and encourage each other to drink.
Melanie could not stand the smell of alcohol and wanted to step outside for some fresh air.
As she got
up, someone handed her a jacket. When she turned around, she noted that it was Eugene.
He was in the middle of a conversation with Sam and did not even glance at her, but he
placed the
jacket in her hands.
Melanie lowered her gaze for a moment but then returned the jacket and walked away.
She avoided
his touch.
It was too stuffy in the private room, and she needed to catch her breath outside. As soon
as she
stepped out, she saw another familiar figure coming out of another private room.

feeling very troubled now.
She had come here intending to resolve the issue between Howard and Matthew, but now
it was like
an even more tangled mess.
Melanie pondered about the relationship between Howard and Matthew. What exactly did
Howard investigate in Jepton? What did Matthew’s words mean?
From their interactions, Melanie could sense that Matthew’s thoughts ran deep. When he
spoke, she often felt as if she were being targeted by a venomous snake. It was like he
could strike at any moment if she let her guard down.
Melanie spent a long time outside alone, unwilling to return to the private room. She was
planning to leave on her own when Eugene, seemingly understanding the way she
thought, called her and said, ” Wait for me downstairs.”
“I’ve already gone back to the hotel,” Melanie replied.
Eugene had just taken a drink, so when he spoke, he sounded slightly intoxicated. His
voice was low and husky. “I’ll be right down.”
Melanie watched the passing vehicles and the lush greenery along the road. Raising a
hand, she hailed a taxi, got in, and said evenly, “I’m going back to the hotel.”
There was a moment of silence but then Melanie hung up the phone without even

Melanie hesitated for a moment before answering, “I’m on my way back now.”
“Okay. Eric said they’ve already gone back to the conference room. I thought you were still
on your way.” Xander’s voice was gentle and soothing, inexplicably comforting
Melanie recalled that Xander had a client meeting today and asked, “Did everything go
smoothly for you today?”
“Let’s talk about it when you get back.” Xander paused. “I found a good restaurant here
serving Jepton cuisine. I brought some back. Let’s have lunch together when you return.”
Sure enough, when Melanie returned, Xander was waiting in the hotel lobby. When he saw
her, he strode over.
Although Melanie had not been drinking, there had been many others who were in the
private room. She inevitably ended up smelling alcohol. Xander noticed the scent on her
