Chapter 544
Melanie had tried to explain to Liana that she was not Xander’s girlfriend, but Liana seemed unconvinced. She even asked
Melanie, “Do you really think I’d believe you?”
Whether Liana believed her or not, Melanie had completely given up on explaining.
Although Xander was exasperated, he could not explain either. Whenever he brought up subject, Liana would groan and moan,
pretending to be in pain.
the
Eventually, Melanie decided to let her be. After all, Liana seemed to be very spirited when she was acting.
The appointment with Lee was at two o’clock in the afternoon. When Melanie saw Eugene at the scene, she was not too
surprised at all.
Eugene was known for his meticulousness at work. He personally reviewed most of his company’s project investments.
That was why she calmly greeted Eugene and Lee, leading them into the construction site.

After the previous renovation, things had gone smoothly at the site.
Melanie did not know enough about the specific problems and technical jargon to help Xander explain. She just listened to his
instructions, bringing him something or turning on a switch from time to time. They worked well together..

Eugene stood a short distance away, watching them impassively. Only when Xander had finished his explanation did he turn and
go out.
Lee said, “It looks like the second stage is going very well. Come with me to the cafe up and we can discuss the specifics of the
third stage.

Melanie nodded. Xander said, “We’ll be talking about technical things, so you can just leave this to me.”
He was telling the truth, but Melanie still said, “I’ve been keeping up with the contract. I should be present if you’re talking about
the payments.”
Xander frowned. Eugene had used such an excuse at LeapCo last time to stall for time.
As expected, Lee said calmly, “Mr. Scott hopes that we maintain contact with the representative who initially designed the

contract.”
Melanie did not bat an eyelid. She understood Eugene that much, at least.
However, Xander was still reluctant. He subconsciously did not want Melanie to have too much contact with Eugene.
When Melanie and Xander arrived at the café, Eugene’s expression was cold, and there was a faint sense of pressure in his
voice. “Burning Star is not too anxious about the project’s progress, I see.”

Xander pulled out a chair for Melanie before saying slowly, “I could say the same of LeapCo. Why else would you have delayed
the payments?”
Melanie lowered her gaze and calmly sat down beside Xander.
She listened quietly to the conversation between the two men, but she did not say a word.
Even though she held her silence, someone would not let her stay out of the situation for long Eugene looked at her with his dark
eyes. They were as bottomless as the sea, and she could not read his roiling emotions.
His voice was cold as he said, “Lee received many calls from other Burning Star employees, but ... You’re the person in charge
of the contract. Is it your style to push the work onto your colleagues time and time again?
“Melanie, do you think it’s appropriate to waste everyone’s time over your own personal affairs?”
He looked at her haughtily, tilting his chin back.
Melanie’s lashes fluttered. Her chest rose and fell slightly. “As you said, Mr. Scott, not everyone is welcome at your office.
“Firstly, I’m not an employee of LeapCo anymore. And secondly, I have nothing to do with you, Mr. Scott. As far as I’m aware, I
don’t have the right to go to your office-” Melanie raised her eyes and looked directly at Eugene. “See, Mr. Scott, I know my
place.”
