Chapter 63
Melanie remained silent and dropped them off at GT. With Simon and others around, Eugene would have plenty of people willing to give him a ride.
After reaching home, Melanie did not immediately shower and sleep. However, in the middle of the night, her sleep was disturbed by the sound of her phone.
Eugene’s icy voice came through the phone without much emotion. “Come and pick me up.‘
Hearing the rain outside, Melanie huddled further under her blanket. “You can take a taxi.”
Eugene hung up just as she said that. Unwilling to go out in the cold rain, Melanie stayed put. However, three minutes later, her phone rang again with the same cold and indifferent voice saying, “Come and pick me up.”
Melanie said nothing, and the call ended. Three minutes later, the phone rang again. The calls continued, disrupting Melanie’s sleep. After one more call from Eugene, Melanie finally sighed and replied reluctantly, “Fine.”
With that, Eugene’s persistence ceased. After silently changing into some dry clothes, Melanie made her way to GT. In the rainy depths of the night, she drove slowly, and by the time she reached GT, half an hour had passed.
The bar was still crowded, and Melanie failed to locate Eugene. She asked the bartender, who informed her that Simon’s group had left earlier.
The next day, Melanie looked quite worn out after having stayed up late the night before. In contrast, Viola appeared lively.
The planning for Oceanus was challenging, and Melanie had some questions to clarify with Eugene. When Viola was about to tag along with her, Melanie curtly said, “You’re not done with your form yet.” That kept her in her seat.
Melanie went upstairs. Eugene was on a video call and signaled for her to wait. She stood there, surveying the surroundings. The layout had not changed much, but it always felt different from Melanie’s memories. Perhaps it was due to the conspicuously placed decorations.
After Eugene ended the call, he looked at Melanie and asked with a frown, “Didn’t rest well last night?”
Melanie hesitated for a moment and replied, “You asked me to pick you up last night, but you weren’t at the bar.”
