Chapter 123
1/2
Eugene’s footsteps halted as he looked up to give Theodore a casual glance. Theodore was taken aback. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Go back to your ward,” Eugene advised blankly. He looked away after saying that and slowly focused on Melanie. Eyes flickering slightly, he asked, “Did you arrive today?”
Melanie tightened the grip on her bag at the question. “I arrived last night.”
Eugene scoffed. “In quite a hurry, aren’t you?”
Melanie lowered her gaze. Steadying her voice, she asked him, “Why are you in Hearth City?”
She looked like she got herself together on the outside, but on the inside, she was a mess. Melanie did
not expect to meet Eugene in Hearth City and certainly had not anticipated him overhearing her conversation with Dylan.
She felt like she had been completely exposed and was very resistant about it.
Melanie had only ever introduced Eugene to her grandfather, and she rarely mentioned her parents.
When Stella disapproved of Melanie back then, the most common excuse she used was that Melanie had a mess of a family background.
Considering she grew up in an environment like that, she would not have turned out that much better.
“Hmm? Eugene, do you know her?” Melanie’s emotions were a mess. Though Theodore had already sensed that something was amiss, he took a couple of steps forward and observed Melanie with a curious gaze.
Eugene nodded. “She’s an employee of mine.”
Still gripping the strap of her shoulder bag, Melanie persisted, “Don’t you have urgent matters back in Jepton? Why are you in Hearth City?”
Her complexion was not great to begin with. She did not wear any makeup today either, and her lips
lacked their usual color.
“Eugene came to see my dad.” Rather than Eugene, it was Theodore who replied to her. He looked at Melanie and smiled sincerely.
“You’re an employee at LeapCo, eh? You must be frightened to see your boss so suddenly, huh?”
