The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 91

Melanie looked thoughtful, asking Xander, “Are all your designs like this?”

Xander paused, his pen stopping in mid–air. He glanced up at Melanie. “Business fairs are all about money, aren’t they?”

Melanie laughed. “You’re pretty practical.”

All of a sudden, she heard something. It sounded like some parts falling off.

Melanie blinked and looked up in a daze. The next second, she heard Xander barking, “Move!”

Melanie stared at the shattered wooden frame, deeply shaken. Xander pulled his arm back after putting her down.
