Melanie was busy with work and Stephen had just come back, so it had been a while since they met.

Melanie grinned as well. “You seem very busy.”

“| have to follow up with a project,” Stephen sounded helpless but soon, he asked Melanie, “What about you? How are you?” He knew Melanie’s grandfather was in the hospital so she should be traveling to and from the company and hospital a lot. “I'm fine.” Melanie’s face remained unchanged. Then, she continued, “I won't be busy for long.”

She had handed in her resignation and she would only be busy for the next month.

Stephen knew Melanie planned to leave LeapCo, so he asked, “Have you decided?”

“Yeah.”

Stephen smiled gently and warmly. “Let’s think of this night as a celebration. It’s good that you can make up your mind to leave this job.”

Stephen was considerate and thoughtful. After this, he never asked Melanie about her work. Instead, he told her about the interesting things he encountered lately.

Do you have time to come to my mother’s birthday party?” Stephen suddenly changed the topic.

Melanie had a good impression of Madam York, so she hesitated for a while and asked, “Should | go?” Stephen replied, “She likes you, and Xander will be there too. Aren’t you close? You can accompany him.” “Oh?” Melanie asked. “Are his family not going?”

Melanie was just asked casually, but Stephen stayed quiet for a while before answering, “His mother

is still abroad.”

Melanie did not think too much of it. So, she nodded and accepted the invitation.

After dinner, Melanie went home straight.

When she got home, she saw two management staff at her door,

“Hello, Ms. Smith. We’re from the management.” The middle-aged woman in the lead nodded at her. “We couldn't contact you back then so we could only wait here. I’m sorry for intruding.”

Melanie looked at her. “What's going on?”

“Well, you haven't paid the management fees for this quarter,” the staff said awkwardly.

Melanie just came back from a business trip. Immediately after, she went to Prime City and Hearth City, so she forgot about this. The staff brought everything along with them so she finished the procedure very quickly. After

Melanie sighed, she was about to go into her house but the staff told her, “Ms. Smith, there’s an event coming up soon so if you have time, you can join us.‘

Melanie remembered that May Day was coming up soon so she looked at the date on her phone. May Day was half a month later. Back then, the Scotts would go back to their ancestral home to pay respect to their ancestors. At the same time, she would go alone with Eugene.

Melanie was a little dazed before she recomposed herself to go into the house.

Xander called Melanie when she arrived the next afternoon. After Melanie hung up, she got ready to leave. They had promised that they would have dinner together.

Melanie had a very simple outfit on and she did not look as cold and distant as usual. Instead, she looked more amiable and kind.

Unexpectedly, she ran into Eugene the moment she walked out of the door. Eugene did not have any expressions on his face. He seemed surprised to see Melanie as well and his eyes darkened.

However, it was just for a split second. He averted his gaze from her and then strode into the elevator. Melanie blinked and then walked into the elevator before pressing her lips together.
