Melanie was so direct that Stephen was at a loss for words.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to.” Melanie lowered her eyes and felt like she had made a mistake. “I was just asking casually. Don’t take it seriously.”

Stephen was silent for a moment before he said, “I’m sorry, Mel. Can I ask why?”

“It’s nothing.” Melanie said, “I’ve been single for too long, so I think I should start dating.”

She did not mention Eugene, and Stephen did not ask. After dinner, Stephen sent her back. home.

As a result, she bumped into Eugene at the entrance of the neighborhood.

Eugene’s black Bentley was parked next to Stephen’s car. Eugene glanced at Melanie, who had just gotten out of the car, before he looked at Stephen.

Stephen greeted Eugene. “Good evening.”

Eugene hummed and said meaningfully, “Ms. Smith, it seems like you’re not just capable of doing business.”
