Melanie’s expression was unpleasant as she hung up the phone. She could not shake the feeling that Dylan’s situation was more complicated than it seemed. However, she could not leave Prime City.

In the evening, just after finishing dinner, Melanie received a call from Eugene. He asked her to come and pick him up. When she arrived, she pushed open the door to the private room and found only Eugene and Evelyn inside.

Evelyn was sitting across from Eugene. When she saw Melanie entering, she stood up to assist Eugene. Eugene rubbed his forehead and extended his hand toward Melanie, saying, “Come over.”

Evelyn did not look pleased having been obstructed. Melanie just helped Eugene, who smelled of alcohol, into the car. He opened the window to let some fresh air in.
