Melanie nodded. "I'll ask the driver to prepare the car."
"No need." Eugene raised his hand and motioned to Viola. "Ms. Shaw will follow me."
Melanie held her breath. Then she nodded calmly. "The shareholders' meeting is at 3:00 p.m. later."
Eugene led Viola away.
When the shareholders' meeting was about to start in the afternoon, Eugene and Viola were still not back yet.
Melanie appeased the shareholders and left the conference room to call Eugene.
The phone rang for a long time before it was answered. Melanie was about to ask Eugene when he would be back when she heard Viola's soft voice instead. "Melanie, what's the matter?" Melanie was silent for a moment. "Where is Eugene?"
"He went to get some medicine for me." Viola blamed herself. "I accidentally sprained my foot, so Mr. Scott took me to the hospital."
"Is it serious?" Melanie looked at the plants in the hallway and asked with concern.
"Mr. Scott said it was serious." Viola was young and naive. Her voice was soft and soothing.
Melanie thought to herself, 'No wonder Eugene likes her.'
Melanie said, "Please tell him that the shareholders' meeting is about to begin."
After she finished speaking, she heard another voice on the other end of the phone.
Eugene said nonchalantly, "Postpone the shareholders' meeting. Tell them that something urgent came up.
Melanie stood in the corridor while Eugene hung up the phone.
It was not until the assistant came out to call on Melanie that she rubbed her temples and walked into the conference room again.
Melanie explained what happened to the shareholders. After sending them away, she received a call from Eugene's mother, Stella, asking her to go to the Scott's residence. Chagine t

Melame pursed her lips. When the arrived at Scott's residence, Stella was just seeing someone off. Melator recognized the woman and greeted her with a smile

After Melanie agted the invitation, she had no choice but to go to Eugene Eugene heard about the situation and said that he would go to furt
Thus, Melanie did not dare leave and waited in a cafe near Scott's residence.
Eugene came over quickly with a gloomy expression. He did not bother to hide his impatience. Melanie noticed an almost imperceptible pink stain on his white shirt.
Her hand on the table clenched as she asked, "What would you like to drink?"
"No need." Eugene's voice was extremely cold, as if he was frustrated with having to deal with official duties. "Give me the invitation."
Melanie took out the beautifully decorated invitation from her bag and handed it to him. "The banquet is at night on a weekend. Do you want a custom-made suit or something off-the-rack from the usual high- end brands?"
She was meticulous and considerate, as she was used to arranging these trivial matters for Eugene.
However, Eugene interrupted her. "Send the details to Viola. She will come with me this time." Melanie reminded him, "The banquet at the Litman Manor is very important. I don't think it's appropriate to bring h "I can take anyone with me." Eugene did not give her a chance to speak again. He took the invitation and left.
The phone he had been holding since he entered the cafe lit up with a notification.
Melanie could not see the message clearly, but she saw a pink rabbit avatar.
She withdrew her gaze and said nothing, acquiescing to Eugene's request. Eugene was right.
He was LeapCo's boss, so many people wanted to curry favor with him. Naturally, he could bring anyone with him. Seeing that Eugene was about to leave, Melanie collected her things and prepared to go home.
Before she stood up, Eugene suddenly stopped a few steps away and turned to look at her.
His voice was cold and emotionless as he said, "Don't call this number in the future. Call my work number instead."
Melanie had always used Eugene's personal number to contact him because Eugene's work number was always busy. Eugene frowned slightly and added, "I don't want people to get the wrong idea."
Melanie knew who he was doing this for.
She lowered her eyelids and nodded. "Okay, I understand."
