Chapter 24
“So what are you trying to say?” Eugene looked at Melanie with dark eyes and tapped his fingers on the table. Eugene rarely called her name. He said, “Melanie, don’t shirk your responsibilities.”
Melanie was stunned. “I’m shirking my responsibilities?”
Eugene’s expression did not change, and he did not say a word.
Melanie lowered her eyes for a moment and slowly looked up. She wanted to say something when Viola came over. Viola carried a tote bag and walked straight to Eugene to pull his sleeve. “Let's go.”
After saying this, Viola greeted Melanie with a smile, as if she had just seen her.
Melanie did not say anything. Viola blinked and suddenly remembered something. “Melanie, | asked Julie to inform you this afternoon when Eugene finished his meeting. Why didn’t you come over?”
Julie was an old employee of LeapCo who liked to make things difficult for Melanie when Melanie first joined the company. Thus, everyone in LeapCo knew that Melanie and Julie did not get along.
Viola's intentions were clear when she asked Julie to inform Melanie.
No wonder Eugene said that Melanie was shirking her responsibilities.
Melanie looked at Eugene silently fora moment. Then she handed over a pen. “Eu...”
She paused slightly and changed her address. “Mr. Scott, please sign this.”
Eugene glanced at her, sneered, and took the pen to sign the document.
Viola blinked and looked at Melanie with a bright smile.
She pulled Eugene out of the office, but Melanie could still hear her sharp and sweet voice. ” Eugene, can we check out this new restaurant?”
Eugene was really gentle and attentive when he wanted to be. Melanie looked away and thought about how Eugene was never so gentle toward her.
It was already 10:00 p.m. when Melanie arrived in Jesenburg, the neighboring city. Melanie went straight to the hotel to rest and met with the client the next day.novelbin
When the customer saw that Melanie came alone, he looked unhappy. “Where is Mr. Scott?” This customer was an old partner of LeapCo. Eugene had brought Melanie to meet with him. before.
He was very determined and insisted on seeing Eugene in person. Melanie explained several times, but it was useless. Thus, she had no choice but to call Eugene.
This time, Eugene did not make things difficult for her. He booked a flight ticket and came over that afternoon. Melanie went to the airport to pick him up, but she did not see Viola.. She asked Eugene, “Why didn’t you bring her with you?”
After all, almost everyone in the company knew how much Eugene treasured Viola. Melanie thought that he would bring Viola with him.
“She has other things to do and can’t get away.” Eugene’s answer was brief. He had long legs, so he walked quickly in big strides. Melanie had some difficulty keeping up with her high heels.
Melanie said, “Then I'll ask Mr. Walker to book a room for you.” “No need.” There was no emotion in Eugene’s voice as he added, “I'll just stay in your room.
Don't bother.”
Eugene did not like to trouble others, so Melanie did not say anything else.
In the past, Eugene would share a room with Melanie when they went on business trips. The people accompanying them were already used to it.
As soon as Melanie returned to the room, Eugene went to the bathroom to wash up. That was when Melanie received a call from Stephen. His voice was gentle and soothing, which made Melanie smile.
Stephen asked Melanie if she wanted to have lunch with him tomorrow. However, before. Melanie could answer, the bathroom door opened.
There were a few drops of water on Eugene’s shirt, and he had unbuttoned the top few buttons of his shirt, revealing his chest. Eugene looked at Melanie and said in a cold voice, “Bring me a towel. | want to take a bath.”
