Chapter 773
Not long after Melanie’s conversation with Yana ended, Reny came over and said that one of Burning
Star Studio’s previous clients, who was in Prime City, wanted to treat them to dinner and had invited
Melanie along.
Melanie remembered the first time she bumped into Xander in Prime City; he had been hosting an
exhibition here.
However, luck was not on her side today. Just as she stepped out of the hotel, she bumped into
Howard.
Howard’s face darkened visibly when he saw her. He looked to be struggling to say something, but
after glancing outside, he hurriedly left. Since Howard did not initiate a conversation with her, Melanie
did not bother to engage him either and pretended not to have noticed him.
However, out of the corners of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of Howard getting into a car parked at
the entrance. She also vaguely caught the figure of a woman inside. It was probably Peyton.
The place where they were meeting the client for dinner was a renowned private kitchen in Prime City.
Everyone there was familiar with one another, making the meal quite lively..
Xander was sitting beside Melanie, and when the client tried to pour her a drink, he intercepted it
calmly. “She doesn’t drink.”
The client was taken aback for a moment but then laughed heartily. “Mr. Xander, you, oh you! Why
don’t I remember Burning Star Studio ever having someone like her? When did she join? Burning Star
Studio has never hired any more staff ever since I met you!”
He had a knowing look, his gaze shifting meaningfully between Melanie and Xander.
Melanie was surprised and whispered to Xander, asking, “Doesn’t Burning Star Studio recruit
externally?”
She always thought Burning Star Studio, like LeapCo, would regularly take in interns. However, upon
reflection, she realized that she had not heard of any plans like that during her time at the studio.
Xander had been drinking with the client, and though it was not much, there was still a faint smell of
alcohol coming from him.
He had initially kept his distance from Melanie, but he leaned in slightly when he heard her question.
He whispered back, “We do recruit.”
Melanie was puzzled. “When do you recruit, then? Do you also participate in campus recruitment?”
Xander looked at her with deep eyes. “No, we have our own criteria at Burning Star Studio.”
“What criteria?”

“The recruits have to match my taste.”
Xander might as well have not said anything. The client found their conversation amusing, so the
atmosphere at the dinner table became lively again.
After having fun with them for a while, Melanie felt a bit suffocated and excused herself to go outside
for some fresh air.

Evelyn was behind him, and she paused together with Peyton when they saw Melanie. However, while
Evelyn’s gaze was smug, Peyton’s was more scrutinizing.
