Chapter 606
Lee glanced at Melanie, thinking she would reject.
Melanie did not notice Lee’s reaction. She still sensed as if someone was stalking her. In such a
situation, following Eugene might be a safer choice.
Eugene was flipping through a document. He did not react much when Melanie got into the car. All he
did was close the document and put it aside.
Melanie glanced at the hotel lobby and asked Eugene, “Are you going to the conference room today?”
“Yes. Mr. Garner is giving a talk.“.
Mr. Garner’s talk was about the connection between investors and clients. Melanie found it
interesting after reading through some related information.
“Are we going to Mr. Fuller’s place today?” asked Melanie.
“That can wait. Eric didn’t inform us of anything. He might not have settled the power shortage issue

Melanie asked nothing more and checked Redwaves‘ document again.
Eugene’s words last night reminded her of something. Since the terms were so specific, it meant the
organizer had some other company in mind they wanted to cooperate with.
However, if the company had to depend on the organizer to change the rules to give them a chance to
prove themselves…
Melanie’s competitive and unbending character was still in her. She easily settled the jobs assigned to
her. It was just that her stubbornness was not that obvious.
However, she would stubbornly hold onto an issue and settle the matter if she encountered a problem
that she was unwilling to give in to.
Yvonne had always thought that Melanie was headstrong.
“Mr. Scott,” Lee called out. “There’s an accident ahead. We might be stuck in a jam.”
“Change the route.”
Lee nodded and made a turn. However, just as the car made a turn, a hasty and loud honking sound
came from behind them.
A white van seemed to have gone out of control and was rushing toward their car.
Lee cursed and turned the steering wheel. However, he was still a step late. The white van knocked
into the back of their car.
The black Audi crashed badly, and Melanie was shoved to the door.
Her forehead hit the window, and she fell backward. Instead of feeling the pain, she fell into a warm
embrace.
A deep grunt came from above Melanie’s head. Just as Melanie was about to be thrown, a pair of
strong arms held her tightly.
Eugene held her head with one arm and her body with another. It protected her from most of the
possible injuries.

The car finally stopped swaying after a while. The honking sounds came from the vehicles around them
when the car stopped.
Melanie was in Eugene’s embrace. Other than the bump on the window, she was uninjured.
“Eugene?” Melanie was lying on Eugene’s chest. She tried calling his name softly.
No answer came from him.
“Eugene? Are you alright?” Melanie was anxious and tried to break free from Eugene’s embrace.
However, he was hugging her tightly, and Melanie could not move.
When she wanted to push again, Eugene said, “Don’t move.”
He was suppressing his cough, and his voice was low.
Then, he slowly let go of Melanie.
Melanie sat upright and looked at Eugene. The first thing that came into her sight was the red scratch
on Eugene’s forehead. It was a minor injury but seemed quite serious.
