Chapter 583
Melanie felt much better after realizing this. However, she still felt a little unhappy about taking a ride
with Eugene.
She was about to say something when Eric hurried her in a whisper, “Come on, get into the car. The
others are already on their way.”
Melanie said, “I think I’d better take a taxi. Mr. Scott and Mr. Fuller have something to discuss and it
doesn’t seem right for me to be there with them.”
Eric had already opened the passenger’s side of the door when she was saying this. He asked
Melanie, “What did you just say? I didn’t hear you. By the way, is it alright for you to take the
passenger’s seat? All the men are at the back and it’s not convenient for a woman to sit with them.”
He was very considerate about this.
Fuller had already got into the backseat while Eugene was standing nearby. He reminded her coolly, ”
We’re going to be late.”

Star for you.”
Fuller had said before that he had a close relationship with Xander. Melanie could only agree and get
into the passenger’s seat silently.
Eric was the one in an awkward position now.
Melanie was seated in the passenger’s seat.
The backseat had Fuller and Eugene, and he could not be squeezing in there with them, and it would
be even worse to ask either of them to let him have their seat.
He scratched his head in embarrassment. “I’ll take a taxi over there, Mr. Fuller. I don’t think it’s
convenient for me to share the ride with you.”
Melanie wanted to let him have her seat but Fuller said, “Alright. Since you’re on the way, why don’t
you stop by the lab and pick up the document I’ve put together? I can show them to Zeitman and
Garner later.”
Eric agreed and left quickly after that.
Melanie had to continue staying in her seat. She pretended to be invisible. She stayed silent and did
not listen to the conversation behind her.
However, this did not last long. Fuller began to call out to her, “Melanie, Mr. Scott just told me that
LeapCo and Burning Star are working together right now. Why didn’t you say anything about it?”
Melanie paused for a while before replying, “It’s true that we’re working with LeapCo right now, but I
was mainly in charge of business management. I don’t have much technical knowledge, which is why

I wouldn’t be able to answer most of Mr. Scott’s industry-related questions.”

Eugene’s tone was relaxed and he seemed to be nonchalant when he said, “Xander Solomon actually
allowed you to attend the summit when you can’t answer technical questions?”
Melanie replied, “I’ve been learning hard at it.”
Eugene snorted coldly. She had no idea what he meant by that.
Fuller continued asking questions about Burning Star and Melanie replied to all of them. Eugene did

Eugene was quite generous. He had reserved a private room on the twenty-first floor. Everyone could
see almost the entire river’s night view.
When they entered the room, Yvette came over with an aggrieved look on her face. She glanced at
Eugene a little unhappily. “What took you so long, Mr. Scott?”
Eugene looked indifferent. “There was traffic on the way.”
Melanie went to meet Garner and Zietman along with Fuller. After they were done with dinner. Melanie
gave space to others who wanted to talk to the three teachers.
It was a relaxed atmosphere, especially when there was already someone footing the bill.
Soon, everyone began drinking and it made the room even livelier.
Yvette took the opportunity to toast Eugene several times. Everyone could tell what she was doing.
No one mentioned it and they watched her amusement.
Melanie did not know these people well and she did not drink much. Even when someone offered her a
drink, she would politely reject them by saying she was feeling unwell.
