Chapter 592

Eugene lowered his gaze and said lightly, “I’m looking forward to your answer.”

Melanie did not reply and turned to leave.

Behind her, Eugene slowly retracted his gaze.

“Mr. Scott.” A soft and sweet voice spoke up beside him. Eugene turned and saw Yvette smiling at him. sweetly.

She sighed and said, “Mr. Scott, Melanie is pregnant. You don’t stand a chance.”

Eugene’s deep gaze was unreadable. “Is that so?” he said calmly.

“Of course!” Yvette said. “So, won’t you consider me?”

“Please stop joking, Miss Jones,” Eugene said coldly before striding out of the meeting room.

Yvette watched him leave in a huff. She then took out her phone and sent her friend a wistful voice message. “Nicole, he rejected me again! He’s the worst.”

Melanie had seen Hugh at the same spot yesterday. This time, he was carrying a lunch box.

She stopped in her tracks. Hugh glanced at her and held up the phone in his other hand, showing her that he was on a video call with Yvonne.

Yvonne’s cheerful voice rang out almost immediately. “How is it? Don’t you feel moved to have such a handsome young deliveryman bring you your lunch?”

Melanie asked Hugh directly, “Are you really going to spoil her like this?”

Hugh pulled a face. “I’m not the only one embarrassing myself anyway.”

Melanie turned to Yvonne again, but Yvonne was righteously lecturing Hugh now, saying that he did not understand the spirit of romance.

Melanie was at a loss for words. Sometimes, she just could not keep up with Yvonne’s train of thought.

In the end, Melanie really did eat lunch with Hugh because Yvonne insisted that she had ordered takeout for two, so she would not allow them to waste the food.

Melanie felt uncomfortable at first, but as she listened to Yvonne and Hugh bicker, she slowly relaxed. She could even pitch in a sentence from time to time.

The lunch ended up being quite enjoyable. When she returned to the office, Yvette did not bother to hide her look of envy.

“Teach me, Melanie,” she said. “How did you manage to land a hot younger man like that?”

Melanie looked around, but there was no sign of Eugene anywhere. She frowned. She still wanted to ask him about the Redwaves bidding.

Yvette asked jokingly, “Are you looking for Mr. Scott?”

Melanie nodded. “Do you know where he went?”

Eugene was only a guest invited by the organizers. He did not have to be around at all times.

Yvette raised her eyebrows. “Aren’t you afraid that your little boyfriend will be jealous?”

“He’s not my boyfriend.”

Although Yvette was not convinced, she said, “Mr. Scott might have gone to meet Matthew. I just heard him on the phone at the door. And didn’t LeapCo want to work with the Qaisas recently?”

Yvette said casually before she remembered that Melanie might not know about these things. She cleared her throat lightly. “Basically, he went to look for someone else.’

Nevertheless, Melanie caught the gist of things. “Matthew Smith?”

Yvette said, “That’s the guy. He’s my unlucky best friend’s bastard boyfriend-”

After a brief rant, she stopped mid-sentence and looked at Melanie quizzically. “You know Matthew, too?”

Melanie frowned slightly. She gave Yvette a long, complicated look.

Yvette could not stand her probing gaze and blurted, “What’s the matter?”

The next second, she widened her eyes in horror and looked at Melanie in disbelief. “Don’t tell me he’s the father of your baby?!”

Melanie tilted her head in confusion. After a long time, she regained her composure and asked Yvette, “Do you know who Matthew’s father is?”
