His tone was indifferent, but his words made her uncomfortable. It was clear that Eugene had arranged for Evelyn to accompany him, and now it seemed as if Melanie was slacking off.

Melanie pressed her lips together before replying, “Isn’t Miss Shue accompanying you enough?”

Melanie gripped the towel but did not move. Eugene raised an eyebrow, a hint of displeasure crossing his face.. “Do I need to invite you over?”

Eugene’s hair was soft, a stark contrast to his appearance, Melanie always found it somewhat discordant. Lost in thought, her attention drifted until Eugene took in a sharp breath, bringing her back to reality.
