Anna propped her cheek with one hand. "You used to work at LeapCo, right? I know Eugene. I recall you delivering something to me.'
Melanie pursed her lips. "I'm not with LeapCo anymore."
"I know," Anna said innocently. She pointed to the documents in Melanie's hand. " You're with Burning Star Studio now, right? Oh, changing jobs isn't a big deal. It's been a long time since I came back to the country. Now that I've met a familiar face, I want to have a casual talk. Don't worry, it's my treat.

She froze for a moment and then smiled. "Why didn't you tell me you were here?"
Xander glanced back, a smile in his eyes. "I wanted to surprise you. Looks like I messed

up, though."
"I am surprised."
Xander's unexpected arrival dispersed Melanie's previously gloomy mood. Meredith was also ecstatic as she crawled about Xander happily.
"Didn't you say you were going to wait for a while before coming over? Why the sudden change of plans?" Melanie asked.
Xander had to travel abroad at any time due to his mother's situation. When Melanie left Jepton, he had mentioned he would come over. However, he also said it would be sometime later.
"There were some unexpected circumstances, so I came a bit earlier to handle them, explained.
He would probably stay here for about a week.
Melanie initially wanted to show her welcome by taking Xander out to eat. Seeing the fatigue on her face, Xander knew then that she had to juggle work on both sides dealing with the affairs of the company while also managing the studio. It was quite tiring.
