That was understandable.
They were strangers, after all.
Yvette pushed the wheelchair and whispered, “Matthew looks quite good if you ignore his personality.” When they entered, Eugene was still there with many people around him. Most were from various studios.
Melanie asked for Yvette’s help to push her to her place. She started researching the new requirements.
Her research continued until the end of the conference. Right then, Xander returned from outside.
He had been busy all afternoon, answering calls. Melanie told him to continue his work and that she could return to the hospital herself. However, Xander disagreed with it.
When they left, Yvette followed.
She knew Xander, and it was not awkward getting along with him.
However, they heard a scream from upstairs just as they headed out.
Before Melanie could react, someone held her waist from behind and pulled her.
The crisp sound of something shattering came from beside her leg.
It was silent around them. Melanie looked toward the sound and noticed a small broken teapot not far away from her. Her heart pounded.
Yvette reacted quickly and shouted at the person upstairs, “Hey, be more considerate! Don’t throw things down the building. It’s dangerous. Show yourself since you dare to throw things down! I’m going to call the police now!
Her voice snapped Melanie from her daze. Her expression turned gloomy.
She was not a fool. If what happened in the afternoon was an accident, the incidents should have been plotted by someone. Moreover, this person was trying to kill her.
“Are you scared?” A deep voice came from above Melanie, and it was only then that Melanie realized she was being hugged. However, the familiar scent told her who that man was without even her needing to look at him.
Eugene’s arm was around her waist. He was protecting her, yet his hold on her was gentle.
Lee walked down the stairs and was still shocked. “Mr. Scott, are you alright?”

They were walking behind Melanie, and when they heard the scream, Eugene did not hesitate to dash toward Melanie. Melanie slowly pried away the arm holding her and looked at the teapot, then at the empty corridor. The building was only eight floors tall, and each window was open.
“Melanie, are you having bad luck today? No, you should be having a bad month.” Yvette recalled Melanie’s incident and said, “Maybe you should buy yourself a lucky charm.”
Melanie nodded and looked at Eugene. If it were not for him, she might have suffered a great injury. “Thank you.” Melanie thanked Eugene. She did not notice her voice was trembling.
Eugene’s gaze turned cold as he looked at her.
He did not answer her and told Lee, “Go and check the surveillance cameras.”
They found nothing from the investigation because the surveillance camera upstairs happened to be in service that afternoon. The circuit was off.
