Melanie looked stoic as well. She placed the documents she brought on the table. “These are receipts

from our purchase of the materials. They include the quality certification. If you’re worried about them,

do feel free to examine them any time.”

She was business–like, and her tone was cold. Lee could not help looking away.

He had always remembered Melanie as someone who obeyed Eugene’s every word. She was

considerate and detailed with what she did.

very

Lee had never seen her acting like a stranger in front of Eugene.

Eugene continued to have a cold look on his face, and there did not seem to be any changes with him.

Raising an eyebrow, he even looked a little arrogant.

“You’re pretty obstinate.” He continued in a low and grim tone, “I had no idea that a little studio can act

so arrogantly. Do you think LeapCo can be easily cheated out of our money? We won’t pour in any

investments without asking the proper questions.”

His tone was nonchalant, but every word he said was clearly heard.

Melanie’s heart sank. She looked up at him and said coldly, “Every receipt for the materials is with me.

Is there anything else you’d like to ask, Mr. Scott?”

She was like a porcupine who had her defenses up. She was looking at Eugene guardedly and with

caution.

Eugene’s eyes narrowed. He lowered his eyes to look at the receipts on the table and said, ” What can

some papers prove to us?”

Melanie held back her temper. “How would you like to do this?”

The atmosphere in the meeting room was tense. Lee sighed gently and quietly reminded her, ” You

seem to have forgotten that Mr. Scott places a lot of emphasis on any project that requires construction

work.”

A look flashed in Melanie’s eyes. It was true that Eugene had always been strict about this.

That was because Eugene had once invested in a project with a partner who did not pay attention to

the construction site. Workers were hurt as a result, and it became a huge issue.

Since that incident, Eugene would always check any project that required construction work personally.

Melanie paused for a moment before she heard herself say, “If you’re still worried about this, Mr. Scott,

you’re most welcome to inspect the location.”

There was a sharp look in Eugene’s eyes as he glanced at Melanie. No one could tell what was going

on in those dark eyes of his.

When she walked out of the meeting room, Melanie called Xander to tell him about this.

Xander did not object to it. “If he wants to visit the site, go ahead. Terence and the others are there.”

“Alright,” Melanie replied. Xander continued, “You should go back to the villa to rest now that

you’re done with LeapCo. You didn’t look too well this morning.”

Melanie hardly slept the night before, and she was having a slight headache.

She was about to leave after she was done talking to Xander.

Melanie was not required to go with Eugene to the site.

However, she had thought wrong.

Lee came out of the meeting room earlier than Eugene. “Melanie, you need to head to Burning Star

with Mr. Scott later. We don’t have enough people in the secretary’s office, and I need to make a trip to

Mr. Clay’s office.‘

“)

He instructed her with work quite naturally, which made Melanie frown. “My part of the job is done, and

there are people present at the site. I’m not required to go with him.”

Lee glanced at her when she rejected him.

He had no choice because he could not just push his work away. It had been really busy at the office

recently, and everyone in the secretary’s office had more work than they could handle.

Viola was also currently on leave, so he had come to Melanie out of habit.

He was about to say something when he heard footsteps behind him.

Eugene’s stoic voice spoke up, and it sounded especially grim in the empty corridor.

“Is this how Burning Star works? You’re actually letting your partner visit the site on their own?”

He tsk–ed softly. “If that’s how you do work, what do you need your partners for?”



Melanie’s chest heaved. There was no way for her to push this now that Eugene had used Burning Star

to point this out.
