The corner was a little isolated, and the lighting was dim.
Melanie said, “I stood for a bit too long just now. I’ll just take a break and wait for you here.” Xander nodded. “We’ll head back after a while.”
Melanie smiled and agreed, but when Xander went back to the crowd, Melanie felt as if someone was watching her. She frowned and glanced back.
There was no one there.
Twenty minutes later, Xander and the others ended their conversation with the big shot. Now, they were doing a lucky draw on stage. Before entering the venue, every guest had each drawn a number at the entrance.
A few lots later, Oliver was the only one in their group who won anything. He had won third–tier prize, a collection of award–winning essays.

Rainie’s eyes burned at the sight of the book. “You don’t like these things anyway. Why don’t you give them to me?”
Oliver smiled slyly. “Are you sure you can even read?”
“Boss, Melanie! Did you hear that? Oliver said I’m illiterate!”
Melanie and Xander watched the two of them bicker. They were smart enough not to say anything and slowly walked towards the exit.
“Miss Smith.” A figure suddenly appeared in front of them. Mason stood in front of Melanie, dressed in a fancy suit and leather shoes. He gave her a friendly smile. “I heard that you’re no longer working at LeapCo?”
“That’s right.” Melanie’s attitude was polite but distant.
Mason leaned over. “Then have you considered coming to Rockwater? Everyone in our company would be delighted to have you.
Melanie did not even want to look at him now. She walked past him and left. “No, thank you.” A few steps away from her, Reny was curious. She rarely saw Melanie give anyone such an attitude. The last one had been Quentin Emerson from Vanke.
She asked Melanie, “Who was that person just now?”
Viola hesitated for a second. She had just seen Mason and Melanie talking.
Mason noticed her first and smiled. “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Viola said, “You know Melanie? I just saw you talking to her. She and I are friends, so I came by to ask.”
A glint flashed across Mason’s eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
He put on a look of loneliness and heartbreak. “Do you know Melanie? She and I used to work together. I heard that she’s no longer at LeapCo, so I wanted to invite her to join my company.
“However, she turned me down. And-“.
Mason sighed. “She said she looked down on a small company like mine. She said we had no future.”
Viola was surprised. “No way!”
