However, Eric came by later and got her to pour some drinks for the three teachers. “You need to be

smart with this and at least get them to like you.”

Melanie rubbed between her eyes. “I can’t drink.”

Eric said, “It’s just a show of sincerity. The main reason is for them to get to like you. Even if you don’t

need them to like you, you need to help Xander and Burning Star get some brownie points.”

Melanie knew he was right. This was considered social etiquette. Even when she was back at LeapCo,

she would have to attend many lunch and dinner meetings like this.

She got up and approached the few experts. Eugene was seated right next to Fuller.

Melanie looked down and poured some liquor into Fuller’s glass. She said sincerely, “Mr. Fuller, even

though Xander could not make it today, you’re always in his mind as he constantly mentions you.

Cheers to you.”

After she said that, someone immediately mentioned, “Why didn’t you bring your glass if you wanted to

toast Mr. Fuller?”

Melanie said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Fuller. I’ve not been feeling well and I can’t really be drinking. I hope you

don’t mind.”

Fuller was alright with this. He waved her off. “It’s nice enough that a youngster like you shows

sincerity.”

Melanie continued pouring drinks into Zeitman and Garner’s glasses. She was very polite about it and

no one gave her any trouble.

After a round of pouring drinks, Fuller reminded her, “There’s also Mr. Scott here.”

Melanie looked at Eugene. Many people had approached him for toast and he already had too much to

drink. His fair skin was now a little pinkish.

There were ripples of emotions in his usually deep, dark eyes and they shone in the light. There was a

much softer look in them than before.

Eugene would never drink unless he had to entertain clients, but this was Oskon City and LeapCo had

not found its footing here yet. Moreover, there were several local business tycoons present and Eugene

had to relax his rule a little.

Melanie noticed that he did not reject anyone who toasted him.

She blinked and went to Eugene. She bent over a little to pour him a drink when Eugene suddenly

covered the top of his glass with his hand.

He looked up at Melanie. It could be from all the drinking because his voice sounded a little hoarse.”

I’m not drinking anymore.

Melanie looked at him. He did not reject the last person who toasted him.

However, Melanie did not insist when she remembered his attitude toward her.

She nodded and returned to her seat.

Eugene did have a little too much to drink that night. By the time the dinner ended, he was still sitting

in his seat.

Melanie went to say goodbye to Fuller and the other teachers. When she walked past Eugene, Yvette

was helping him up. Her tone was soft and sweet, “Let me help you back to the hotel, Mr. Scott.”

Eugene’s voice was very hoarse. “That’s not necessary.”

Melanie paused in her steps. Eugene’s voice indicated that he was not feeling very well.

That was about right. Nearly everyone at this dinner had come to him for a drink and he did not reject

anyone. It was only normal that he felt uncomfortable.

However, Melanie ignored him. After saying goodbye to Fuller, she prepared to leave.

When she walked past Eugene, she suddenly heard him call out in a hoarse and bitter voice,” Melanie.”

Melanie stopped and turned back to look at Eugene. He had already sat up straight. He had a hand

propped against the side of his head while he looked at Melanie with narrowed eyes.

After a while, he stood up. His expression returned to his normal stoic self and he said, “Let’s go back.”
