Chapter 773
Not long after Melanie’s conversation with Yana ended, Reny came over and said
that one of Burning Star Studio’s previous clients, who was in Prime City, wanted
to treat them to dinner and had invited Melanie along.
Melanie remembered the first time she bumped into Xander in Prime City; he had
been hosting an exhibition here.
However, luck was not on her side today. Just as she stepped out of the hotel,
she bumped into
Howard.
Howard's face darkened visibly when he saw her. He looked to be struggling to
say something, but after glancing outside, he hurriedly left. Since Howard did not
initiate a conversation with her, Melanie did not bother to engage him either and
pretended not to have noticed him.
However, out of the corners of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of Howard getting
into a car parked at the entrance. She also vaguely caught the figure of a woman
inside. It was probably Peyton.
The place where they were meeting the client for dinner was a renowned private
kitchen in Prime City. Everyone there was familiar with one another, making the
meal quite lively..
Xander was sitting beside Melanie, and when the client tried to pour her a drink,
he intercepted it calmly. “She doesn’t drink.”
The client was taken aback for a moment but then laughed heartily. “Mr. Xander,
you, oh you! Why don’t I remember Burning Star Studio ever having someone
like her? When did she join? Burning Star Studio has never hired any more staff
ever since I met you!”
He had a knowing look, his gaze shifting meaningfully between Melanie and
Xander.
Melanie was surprised and whispered to Xander, asking, “Doesn't Burning Star
Studio recruit externally?”
She always thought Burning Star Studio, like LeapCo, would regularly take in
interns. However, upon
reflection, she realized that she had not heard of any plans like that during her
time at the studio.
Xander had been drinking with the client, and though it was not much, there was
still a faint smell of alcohol coming from him.
He had initially kept his distance from Melanie, but he leaned in slightly when he
heard her question. He whispered back, “We do recruit.”
Melanie was puzzled. “When do you recruit, then? Do you also participate in
campus recruitment?”
Xander looked at her with deep eyes. “No, we have our own criteria at Burning
Star Studio.”
“What criteria?”

“The recruits have to match my taste.”
Xander might as well have not said anything. The client found their conversation
amusing, so the atmosphere at the dinner table became lively again.
After having fun with them for a while, Melanie felt a bit suffocated and excused
herself to go outside for some fresh air.

Evelyn was behind him, and she paused together with Peyton when they saw
Melanie. However, while Evelyn's gaze was smug, Peyton's was more
scrutinizing.
