The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

Never did Melanie expect Peyton to mention her. However, she seemed to realize something upon seeing Peyton's indifferent gaze. Melanie knew Eugene might not be able to get the contract signed if he left.

Eugene was still calm as always. He looked at Melanie and said monotonously, “She’s not qualified.”

Melanie was a secretary. She was not qualified to represent Eugene in attending important client meetings. Before this, when she worked with Eugene, she could only work with him unless he allowed her to meet the client alone.

Peyton did not expect him to say that, and her expression turned serious. Eugene continued, ” LeapCo sincerely wants to cooperate with you. Ms. Taylor, if you want to reconsider, please be quick. After all, there are many other corporations in Prime City.”

Then, he glanced at Melanie. Melanie understood his intention. He felt that having this meal with Peyton was pointless, so he wanted to leave.

She put on a professional smile and whispered to Eugene in a loud enough voice so that even Peyton could hear, “You have an online meeting at 9:00 pm”

Eugene nodded and excused himself politely but in a distanced manner. Then, he left with Melanie. After leaving the private room, Melanie took the initiative to say, “I'll pay.”

Eugene looked at his phone and grunted in response as he strode out.

Just as Melanie headed to the entrance after paying the bill, she noticed it was drizzling outside. She looked around and saw Eugene and Viola in a corner.

Viola seemed to have suffered a blow from Evelyn and her mother’s sarcasm. She did not seem well and was so pale as though she was about to collapse anytime.

Melanie glanced at her when she approached and asked, “When are you leaving?”

Viola froze as she recalled how professionally Melanie had dealt with Peyton. She was embarrassed, feeling as if Melanie had slapped her in public.

She did not want to see Melanie at the moment, so she hung her head down silently. Melanie did not get a response, so she looked at Eugene. He looked calm. “Now.”

His calm voice made Viola feel more aggrieved, but she remained stubborn and refused to speak. All she did was stand aside with her lips in a pout.

Melanie naturally sensed the atmosphere between them. She took her phone and said, “I'll go and hail a taxi.” However, Eugene and Viola still ignored each other even after she hailed the taxi.

Melanie cared nothing about how Eugene and Viola were getting along.

She sat in the front passenger seat and checked the notifications on her phone. She noticed a message from an unfamiliar number.

[Bitch! Return the money or I'll expose you at your workplace. Let’s see if you can keep your reputation up after that!] It was likely a message from Dylan’s husband.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

In fact, Melanie had yet to meet this man. Back then, Dylan only brought Peachie to meet her.

She only remembered that his last name was York.

Fortunately, he had only sent this message. Melanie deleted it in displeasure.
