The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

Chapter 304 Melanie’s flawless and soft fingers interlocked with Eugene’s as she muttered, “Eugene, please help me.” She showed no expression when she said this.

However, it reminded her of when she needed Eugene’s help long ago. She only needed to lower her position and speak coquettishly as she hooked his fingers to get him to agree. Melanie was standing with her back facing Eugene, so she could not see his expression. Getting no response from him left her with no choice but to probe again by tugging his fingers. “Eugene, please?”

Eugene still said nothing. Just as she thought he would agree, he shoved her hand off. He sneered. “Melanie, you're getting pretentious now.”

Melanie froze. The words she was about to say were stuck in her throat.

Eugene glanced at her and left expressionlessly.

Melanie’s expression was gloomy when she headed downstairs. She bumped into Yana, who had just left the meeting, in the elevator.

Yana looked at Melanie getting into the elevator from the top floor. She was surprised but did not ask anything.

She just said, “Melanie, look! You just left, and we're already being forced to work until late. We even have to work overtime during lunch hours.”

Melanie looked at the documents in her hands and forced herself to smile. She asked, “Did the company start a new project?”

“It's Blue Inc.” Yana felt helpless. “It was announced today that Blue Inc’s project was handed to Julie. She has always been efficient. That’s why she organized all the meetings to complete this project.”

It reminded Melanie of Viola, whom she had just met in the office. According to what happened at the celebration dinner, she thought Viola would be responsible for Blue Inc.’s project.

After all, Eugene had protected Viola throughout the incident. She asked Yana, “Is Julie going to teach Viola?”

However, Yana pursed her lips. “Miss Shaw doesn’t need to work so hard like us. She just has to sit in the office and pass her time to get paid just like us.

Yana was displeased upon mentioning Viola. Melanie knew it was not nice to talk bad about others behind their backs, so she stopped the topic.

She had to go to the northern part of the city. The repair man she had made an appointment with contacted her yesterday. Melanie had decided to clean up her house quickly. She felt Albert might want to stay there after being discharged.

Yana wanted to have a meal with Melanie, but Melanie rejected it.

She drove back to the North district and cleaned the house.

While she was busy, she received a call from Dylan. Melanie was cleaning up the house and did not hear the ringtone. She ignored it even when she saw the missed call notification.

Her mind was in a mess. Even when she did nothing, lots of things were running wildly in her mind. That was why she tried to get herself busy.

Only when the sun set did Melanie leave. When she left the house, she noticed it was drizzling outside.

Melanie looked at the hazy sky. She felt nothing upon seeing the gloomy weather. Like an emotionless robot, she stepped on the accelerator and headed to the hospital. However, just as she left the residential area, she received a call from Dr. Wells.

Melanie’s heart would hammer involuntarily whenever Dr. Wells‘ call came in. Flustered, she answered the call as her breathing grew faster.

Just as she answered it, Dr. Wells’ anxious voice sounded through the phone. “Come over to the hospital, quick!” Melanie’s heart sank, and she almost dropped the phone.

She forced herself to calm down. “What happened?”

“It's about the patient’s surgery. You have to be around. Please come to the hospital.”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
