NovelEnglishChapter 878 Xander touched his nose and coughed lightly. “Alright, | won't.” This scene looked like the everyday life of a family of three, with the doting father secretly giving snacks to his daughter, only to be scolded by the mother in the end.
Anna happened to be shooting her daily vlog and was editing the video to post it on Facebook. She had found them amusing and recorded them. Only now did she realize that the woman was Melanie.
She put away her phone and greeted them. “What a coincidence, Miss Smith.” Melanie looked at her, her eyebrows faintly furrowing. “Miss Anna,” she greeted calmly.

You have such a handshusband at home. If it were me, gone hlong ago.” Anna had assumed that Melanie and Xander were married.
Melanie shifted uncomfortably and pushed Xander forward. “This is the boss of Burning Star Studio. Miss Anna, if you need anything, you can talk to him.” Seeing them buying groceries, Anna asked, “Do you mind if | join you for dinner? My agent isn’t here these days, and eating alone is so lonely. Plus, | can’t cook...” Since things had gotten to this point and she was a client of the studio, Melanie could say nothing more. Anna happily followed behind them.
Their originally quiet dinner beca bit noisier with Anna’s presence.
Anna was outgoing and not at all awkward. Dinner ended, and when she saw Xander tidying up the dishes and heading to the kitchen, she asked Melanie, “Where did [x] find such a good man? | envy you.” Not wanting to say much since she was not close to Anna, Melanie simply replied, “We're just friends.” “Friends in a situationship, | get it.” Anna gave her a knowing look.
Melanie remained silent.
Anna changed the topic and asked, “Speaking of which, | used to think there might be something between you and Eugene. | kept hearing about his beautiful secretary back.
Chapter 878 then, and | thought it was you.” Melanie paused for a moment, her voice now tinged with a slight coldness as she replied, “Miss Anna, I'm just an employee of Burning Star Studio. I'm not obligated to answer such personal questions.

She glanced at her apologetically and hesitated to speak further.
It was not until she was about to leave that she clarified, “I don’t know why you'd think that Mr. Scott and | are close, but you ought to know that we're not acquainted at all. At most, | had scontact with him in the past because | needed to shoot a promotional video for LeapCo.” Melanie looked at her, her lips tightly pressed together. She recalled Anna appearing beside Eugene when LeapCo needed to shoot a promotional video. Anna was one of the seven or eight models hired at the time.
Eugene had treated her with particular care, which eventually led to them getting intimate.
Anna looked at Melanie. She parted her lips as if to say something, but no words cout. She just stood there awkwardly.
Having calmed down, Melanie looked at Anna’s furrowed brows. After a pause, she said, ‘ I'm sorry, Miss Anna. | wasn't feeling quite right.” Anna hesitated a bit before responding. “It’s okay.” She left with a conflicted expression while Melanie sat back down, unable to help herself from pinching the space between her brows.
