Chapter 733

They were silent all the way back to the hotel. It was considered a successful meeting with fackson. They had no control over the final results, and Melanie was just relieved that she got to talk to him.

She closed her eyes for some rest the moment she got into the car. Her temples were throbbing painfully due to not having enough rest the night before.

There was a light fragrance in the car, and Melanie felt drowsy not long after she shut her eyes.

She woke up when she heard the door of the car open. Melanie looked to the front and saw Lee opening the passenger door. He looked back at her hesitantly.

Melanie was silent. She looked at her phone and saw that it had been an hour since they left the

restaurant.

It was only half an hour’s distance from the restaurant to the hotel.

Melanie pressed between her eyes and asked Lee, “How long have we been back?”

“Mr. Scott is picking up some documents upstairs. He’ll be down soon. We’ll leave once he’s here,” Lee said in a low voice.

Melanie nodded. She got out of the car and saw Eugene walking out of the hotel. He stopped next to the car and passed the document to Lee before saying to Melanie nonchalantly, “You’re finally awake”

“Why didn’t you wake me up?” Melanie asked. She was still feeling a little drowsy from just having

woken up.

Eugene stood tall as he grunted with indifference. “It makes no difference. It’s just a matter of a few minutes.”

He did not look at Melanie. She said goodbye to the side of his face and headed back to the hotel.

Melanie fell asleep the moment she touched the bed. It was probably due to her drowsiness from dozing off in the car.

It had been slightly easier for her to go to sleep since getting pregnant. Even though there were nights. when she could not rest well, she still found it easier to fall asleep at a later hour: It was not like before when she constantly had insomnia.

By the time she woke up, it was already very dark outside.

Melanie grabbed her phone from the table next to the bed. She wanted to look at the time, but she saw a headline pop up on her screen instead.

[Qaisa Enterprise’s shares skyrocket, company plight takes a positive turn…]

There was a small row of words beneath the attractive headline. It described the numerous crises faced by the company and how they eventually overcame them.

Melanie stared at the name burled among those words–Matthew Smith.

She looked at it for a while and deleted the news from her phone, Getting up, she turned on the lights in her room.

However, she had no idea what she should be doing. Her head felt heavy, and her mind was blank.

It was rare for Melanie to feel this way. She sat for a while in front of her laptop, but she could not focus on work at all. She decided to hug a pillow and lean on the couch In a daze.

Things had been chaotic recently as everything was piled up at the same time. The situation had been so hectic that Melanie did not even have time to take a breather. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

She did not feel it before, but now that she had successfully met up with Jackson, she no longer had any work to busy herself with. She finally felt the exhaustion hit her hard.

It did not help that she had a lawsuit to deal with as well…

Melanie buried her face into the pillow. It felt like she was cut off from the world.

Her phone suddenly rang, and there was a systematic ringing at the door as well.

Eugene was the one calling her.

It did not take a genius to know that Eugene would be right outside the door when she opened it.

Melanie stood inside the room without bothering to fix her expression. She looked at Eugene tiredly. ” Is something wrong?”

“Have you had dinner?” Eugene’s tone was light.

Melanie paused. Eugene glanced at her and walked straight into her room.

She looked at him with her hand against the door frame.

“Melanie,” Eugene said slowly after he paused in his footsteps and glanced back at her..

There was a deep look in his eyes. His gaze stopped for a second on her tummy before he looked up into her eyes.
