Chapter 694

Viola looked at Eugene and softened her tone. Her attitude was completely different from when she had faced Melanie. Her eyes were dewy as she probed. carefully, “Eugene, let’s talk outside, okay? I know a nice cafe nearby.”

Lee frowned slightly. He gave Viola a once–over.

He never really got along with Viola, nor were they very familiar with each other.

When Viola was by Eugene’s side, she had caused a lot of trouble, and Lee had been the one to clean up most of her messes. Although they were mostly insignificant matters, there were so many problems that it became annoying. That was why he had never liked Viola.

Viola was still looking at Eugene eagerly. She was sure that once she mentioned Rockwater, Eugene would definitely agree to her request.

Her hopes were dashed when Eugene said coldly, “And why should I hear you out?

Stunned, Viola subconsciously explained, “Because I know Rockwater-”

Eugene looked up, his eyes as calm as a bottomless abyss. His gaze swept across Viola’s stunned face, completely devoid of emotions. He did not care what Viola was saying at all.

Viola’s heart skipped a beat. Panic overwhelmed her. She looked at Eugene in a fluster, but when she could not read any of his thoughts from his face, she looked at Lee instead.

Finally, she turned back to Eugene. She clenched her fists and forced herself to calm down. “If you don’t care about Rockwater, I can help you with Redwaves, too. Eugene, don’t you want to beat Redwaves? I heard that you’ve been working really hard on your plans for that.”

“I can help you.” Viola bit the corner of her lip.

There had been a financial meeting in the conference hall on the first floor lately. Other than Eugene, other guests had attended the meeting too.

Viola’s voice started off soft, but it slowly became louder and louder toward the end.

It was as if she was declaring these words not only for Eugene’s ears, but also for her own. She was convincing herself that she could help Eugene.

Eugene’s eyes were half–closed. Viola’s voice echoed in his ears, but he did not.

even look up.

Just then, Lee interjected, “Miss Shaw, our meeting with Matthew Smith will begin soon. Mr. Scott needs to rest. Please leave for now.”

Viola stood rooted to the spot in embarrassment. “Eugene, I’m telling the truth. If you want, I’ll definitely help LeapCo get through this crisis.”

She tried to take another step forward, but Lee put his hand out to block her. “If you don’t know the way out, Miss Shaw, I can escort you.”

Viola left in a huff.

Lee frowned at Eugene. “It looks like Viola’s going to complain to Harvey again.”

Eugene’s eyes were calm and indifferent. “Have you arranged everything in Jepton?”

The summit was about to end, and the participants were clearly much more. enthusiastic and full of rigor than before. Throughout the event, they got to know new people and proposed more collaborations.

Melanie had also received many business cards from other participants. Most of them had heard of Burning Star’s name and wanted to get a chance to work with the studio.

Even Yvette had given her their studio’s business card, saying that her boss. would like to get to know Xander in the future.

Melanie looked at Yvette’s haggard expression and paused in the middle of taking the business card. “What’s the matter with you? Why do you look so pale?”

Yvette shook her head. “My best friend’s relationship is in danger, so I had to listen to her rant.”

Yvette’s best friend was Nicole Qaisa, and Nicole’s boyfriend was Matthew.

Melanie’s heart sank a little. She looked up, wondering if she should ask.

Yvette could not help but complain, “Men are the worst. They’re all disgusting! He’s aiming for someone new even while he has a girlfriend. I knew it, I should tell Nicole to break up with him!”
