Chapter 75
Eugene remained seated, eyes closed as he rested.
Thinking he might have dozed off, Melanie called out to him, “Eugene, we’ve arrived.”
Even after saying it twice, Eugene showed no reaction. Melanie furrowed her brows, reaching out to give his arm a push.
This time, Eugene responded quickly by grabbing Melanie’s hand with considerable force. She attempted to pull her hand back but could not. She had to speak up, “We’re at the hotel, Eugene.”
Having consumed a fair amount of alcohol that night, Eugene had grown drowsy along the way back. He held onto Melanie’s hand tightly, his voice hoarse as he said, “A bit longer.”
Pausing, Melanie was about to say something when Evelyn knocked on the car window from outside.
Evelyn had finished her call and was waiting for Eugene.
Eugene opened his eyes, his brows creasing with slight impatience before quickly relaxing.
Melanie parked the car before returning to the hotel. There, Eugene was accompanying Evelyn at the front desk to check–in.
After bidding them goodnight, Melanie excused herself and headed back to her room.
Upon completing the check–in at the front desk, Evelyn looked up at Eugene and commented, “Your secretary seems to look at you with some hidden intentions.”
“Is that so?” Eugene responded casually.
Evelyn added, “Look at the way she looks at you. It’s not exactly pure. Did you sleep with her?”
Eugene’s eyebrows twitched slightly as he replied indifferently, “I dislike people prying into my affairs.”
“Sorry, it’s a habit.” Evelyn did not feel embarrassed by it. She had, after all, majored in psychology in college. However, she could tell from Eugene’s reaction that he had a history with the woman.
With a cheerful smile, Evelyn pushed Eugene toward the exit. “She just gave them to me. Let’s go. We don’t want to be late.”
