Walden attempted to get close to Viola and engaged in a lively conversation with her.

“This is my first time in Prime City. Eugene said we’re here for my graduation trip. Are there any fun

places here?” Viola’s tone was innocent, almost romantic. She truly sounded like someone on vacation.

Melanie glanced back and saw Eugene resting with his eyes closed.

Eugene liked the quiet and despised noise during his rest. However, Viola’s cheerful tone did not seem

to bother him.

Melanie had committed Eugene’s preferences to memory back then. Even on business trips, she would

try to postpone all work to ensure Eugene could rest properly no matter how busy she was.

She always prioritized him, but in the end, she still failed to compare to someone like Viola.

Melanie withdrew her gaze and kept away from Viola and Walden’s conversation. She leaned against

the car window and closed her eyes to rest.

They reached the hotel, and since there was not much to do in the evening, Melanie went straight to

her room. As she walked away, she could still hear Walden arranging a room for Eugene.

Melanie thought Eugene brought Viola along to make her seem more valuable, but the next morning

when they departed for the branch office, Viola was nowhere to be seen.

Eugene did not offer any explanations and simply got into the car.

Walden had brought another secretary along with him this time. Since the front passenger seat was

occupied, Melanie had to sit in the back. Between her and Eugene was a vacant space. She stared

silently at the scenery flashing by outside.

In the front, Walden was enthusiastically introducing the going–ons of the branch office. Eugene, who

was at the back, occasionally glanced at his phone. He was seemingly engaged in responding to

messages.

It was not until Walden was done talking that he calmly asked Melanie, “Melanie, did note of

everything?”

“Yes,” Melanie replied indifferently.

Eugene sneered lightly and shifted his gaze to her. “Is that so? I thought you were daydreaming just

now.”

Melanie hesitated for a moment and then retorted, “You must’ve been mistaken.”

Suddenly, a stray dog darted out in front of the car. The driver made a sharp turn, catching Melanie off

guard and causing her to tilt toward Eugene. She crashed into him, hands bracing against his sturdy

thighs. Eugene grunted at the impact.

As the car returned to its course, Walden repeatedly apologized. Melanie straightened herself up from

Eugene’s lap with a bit of effort.

She took a deep breath and was about to move away from Eugene when she heard him

whisper. Only the two of them were privy to the conversation. “Was it on purpose?”

He glanced subtly at Melanie’s hands that were on his thighs as he said this. Melanie calmly withdrew

her hands and replied, “Sorry.”

With a scoff, Eugene looked away.

Melanie and Eugene followed Walden as they toured the branch office, Walden offered to treat them for

lunch, but Eugene lifted his phone to his ear and said, “No need. Someone is still waiting for me at the

hotel.”

That someone was Viola, who had come to sightsee this time.

Since Melanie was not going back with Eugene, she decided she would have lunch with Walden.

However, Eugene’s cold and indifferent voice stopped her. “You’re coming back with me.” Melanie

thought of refusing, but then he added, “There’s something we need to arrange.” Walden wanted to

send them back to the hotel, but Eugene declined. Instead, he flagged down a taxi.

On the way there, Melanie asked Eugene, “What is it that needs arranging?”

Eugene casually stared at her. He then parted his lips as he asked, “Did you bring your driver’s

license?”

Confused, Melanie frowned. Eugene continued, “We need a driver. You’re capable, right?” When they

reached the hotel, Viola was already waiting for them at the entrance. At first, she did not look pleased

when she saw Eugene and Melanie returning together.

However, upon hearing that Melanie would be their driver, she smiled and said, “Thank you for your

hard work, Melanie.”
