Chapter 284

Melanie lowered her head. It felt like an ongoing battle between her and the button as she stared at it while she fumbled.

Her cold fingers kept touching Eugene’s warm skin.

A warm drop of tear fell from her eye and onto Eugene’s chest.

Melanie clenched her teeth. She finally managed to unbutton his shirt.

However…

She hated herself right then.

Melanie was disgusted at how cheap her actions were.

She closed her eyes.

Melanie had to do this. She could be shameless and throw her dignity away for the sake of her grandfather.

She would do anything as long as he could get better.

However, when she touched Eugene’s chest once more, he suddenly grabbed her wrist.

His chest heaved while he spoke. Her hands felt his warm chest, but Eugene’s voice was cold.

Eugene looked at Melanie’s wet eyelashes, and the look in his eyes was dark and cold. “What are you thinking? Do you think I’d be interested to continue when you’re acting this way?”

He flung Melanie’s hand away and said in a growl, “Get out.”

Melanie was already feeling quite weak. When Eugene did that, her body got flung along with her hand. She hit her head against the window with a bang.

The look in Eugene’s eyes darkened, and he looked slightly annoyed.

He got out of the car after a while and slammed the door when he left.

Melanie was left in a daze inside the car.

Why did she act out that way with Eugene?

She probably deserved that from Eugene.

Melanie shut her eyes miserably. Memories of the past few days flashed in her mind.

She found it difficult to breathe at the thought of them.

Her phone suddenly rang, snapping Melanie out of her thoughts.

She looked at her phone. The call was from Reny Quark.

Melanie suddenly had a bad feeling. She hesitated before picking up the call. The first thing she heard was Reny’s panicking voice. “Where are you, Melanie? Something terrible happened.”

Her face fell. “Did something happen to Xander?”

Yvonne had called her that night to ask where Xander was. Melanie had forgotten about this

because of Eugene, and Xander had not replied to her message.

Reny continued, “Our plans for the finance exhibition were supposed to have been confirmed, but for some reason, we were told that our proposal wasn’t good enough. They want to cancel the project with us.”

“Cancel the project?”

Melanie had to stop thinking about her personal affairs. She suppressed her emotions to ask Reny, “Is Xander around?”

“He isn’t back yet. He’s been having meetings since the morning because of this.”

“This usually doesn’t happen. I think someone has been stirring up trouble for us,” Reny sald worriedly. “I wonder if Xander will be affected. After all, he must be in a terrible mood when an approved project is suddenly canceled.”

When Reny mentioned someone might be stirring trouble, the first person that came to Melanie’s mind was Eugene.

She had no idea why she would think of him. It was probably because Eugene had been mentioning Xander the entire day.
