The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 98

Melanie took a second to understand what he meant. She frowned and said hesitantly, “I don’t think I can…‘

“Why not?” Xander straightened up. “Didn’t you want to learn how to set up an exhibition too?”

Melanie’s fingers curled slightly, and she looked down at her bandaged forearm. “I hurt my hand. I might not be able to help you.”

She wanted to explain, but Xander said nonchalantly, “I have plenty of handymen. Besides, I’m just asking if you want to be my trainee for a bit. Do you really think this is something you can master in a day or two?”

Melanie shook her head. “I just don’t want to cause you any more trouble.‘

Xander said, “How much trouble can you be?”

His attitude did convince Melanie a little. She knew perfectly well that an opportunity to learn from Xander was rare and precious indeed.

After agreeing to Xander’s request, Melanie remembered she had the rest of the day off. Since she had nothing to do in the afternoon, she followed Xander to his studio.

Xander looked back at Melanie. “Sit wherever you want.”
