Chapter 67

Melanie did not dare move about recklessly, so she just sat at her desk and waited. Soon, footsteps approached. Thinking it was Stephen, she called out to him, worried that he might not be able to find her.

The footsteps paused before slowly approaching her. Melanie could only see a tall figure and was unable to discern their features. However, she figured that no one else other than Stephen would come up here at this time.

“Could you help me a bit? I can’t see very well,” Melaine asked softly.

Her request was followed by a cold sneer as the figure arrived in front of her. Eugene’s looming shadow was accompanied by his mocking voice as he said, “Is this how you endear yourself to Stephen before hooking up with him?”

Melanie had not expected it to be Eugene. She fell silent for a moment before asking back, Why haven’t you left?”

Ignoring her question, Eugene asked, “Waiting for Stephen to come pick you up?”
