Lee nodded. Melanie was about to speak when Oliver snapped, “Are you going to look for him. again?
His attitude is obvious. Why are you wasting your time?”
Oliver had a bad impression of LeapCo today, so he did not care even that Lee was around. He
scoffed. “He’s the president of LeapCo. He’s different from us.”
Melanie looked at Xander. He frowned, seemingly not approving of her act.
Pursing her lips, she said, “Since we’re here to discuss, we have to negotiate. Moreover, I have some
other things to talk with him about.”
Xander looked at the ground and paused for a while before nodding. “Do you want me to wait for you?”
Melanie froze. “You can head to the supplier first. I’ll join you when I’m done here.”
Before Xander left, he told Melanie, “We’ll wait for you downstairs for half an hour.”
Melanie was moved. She looked at Xander. He was still cold, but his gaze was gentle and full of

He was worried about her.
After hesitating, Melanie’s eyelashes fluttered as she said, “I’ll call you after I settle the matter.”

they were downstairs, Oliver looked at Xander and lamented, “I didn’t know your temper could be so
good.”
Xander showed no expression. “What’s the point of being grumpy like you?”
At this retort, Oliver could only shut his mouth. He could see that Xander was not as gentle as he had
spoken to Melanie earlier.
Meanwhile, Melanie followed Lee to the office, where she spotted Julie and another young
woman.
Melanie did not recognize the young woman. Lee explained, “She’s the new intern.”
Julie, who had been working, lifted her head and blurted, “You thought you couldn’t be replaced? Look!
A random intern has taken your place.”
When Melanie worked in LeapCo, she was already used to Julie’s mockery. At this moment, Melanie
did not even look at her.
The new intern took a peep at Melanie.
Lee brought Melanie to the office door and entered. “Mr. Scott, Melanie wants to have a word with you.”
Eugene froze and said expressionlessly with his head lifted, “Call her in.”
Lee walked out after a while and said, “You can go in.”
Thanking him, Melanie opened the door.
When she entered, her eyes met that pair of cold eyes.
She stopped. “Can I have a word with you?”
Eugene asked meaningfully, “Are you here to talk to me about Burning Star Studio?”

He continued, “Well, tell me your conditions. I’m curious what you’ll come up with.”
Eugene sounded carefree. After a few seconds of silence, Melanie said, “I came to talk to you about
the 1.5 million.”
It was awkward for a few seconds before Eugene looked at Melanie as he pondered.
He hid his emotions and lifted his chin arrogantly. “Continue.”
Melanie took a deep breath and looked at Eugene as she tried to calm herself. “I want to return half a
million to you first and the same amount subsequently. Can I pay the interest according to the bank’s
rate?”
She had been pondering for some time as she only had 600 grand in her savings. She could only
return a portion of the money first.
As for the rest of the money, she had to think of a way to get them.
Melanie had wanted to look for Eugene some other day, but Eugene insisted that she came today.
Thus, she decided to tell him now.
