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.”

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

Melanie was so shocked that she was a second too late to react. The large wooden frame came crashing down toward her head!

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

He frowned at the forlorn pieces of the frame, saying to Melanie in a low voice, “I’m sorry, I forgot to tell you that the frame was only temporarily suspended up there. It could have fallen at any time.”
