However, Eric came by later and got her to pour some drinks for the three teachers. “You need to be smart with this and at least get them to like you.”

Melanie rubbed between her eyes. “I can’t drink.”

Eric said, “It’s just a show of sincerity. The main reason is for them to get to like you. Even if you don’t need them to like you, you need to help Xander and Burning Star get some brownie points.”

Melanie knew he was right. This was considered social etiquette. Even when she was back at LeapCo, she would have to attend many lunch and dinner meetings like this.

She got up and approached the few experts. Eugene was seated right next to Fuller.

Melanie looked down and poured some liquor into Fuller’s glass. She said sincerely, “Mr. Fuller, even though Xander could not make it today, you’re always in his mind as he constantly mentions you. Cheers to you.”

After she said that, someone immediately mentioned, “Why didn’t you bring your glass if you wanted to toast Mr. Fuller?”

Melanie said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Fuller. I’ve not been feeling well and I can’t really be drinking. I hope you don’t mind.”

Fuller was alright with this. He waved her off. “It’s nice enough that a youngster like you shows sincerity.”

Melanie continued pouring drinks into Zeitman and Garner’s glasses. She was very polite about it and no one gave her any trouble.

After a round of pouring drinks, Fuller reminded her, “There’s also Mr. Scott here.”

Melanie looked at Eugene. Many people had approached him for toast and he already had too much to drink. His fair skin was now a little pinkish.

There were ripples of emotions in his usually deep, dark eyes and they shone in the light. There was a

much softer look in them than before.

Eugene would never drink unless he had to entertain clients, but this was Oskon City and LeapCo had not found its footing here yet. Moreover, there were several local business tycoons present and Eugene had to relax his rule a little.
