Chapter 488
Melanie said, “It’s fine. I’m hanging up now.
Eugene and Carla did not approach her. They must have gone straight to the basement parking lot.
Melanie found a café near the mall entrance and waited there for the rain to subside.
It felt like the sky had been holding back the rain for a long time, and when it finally poured, it took
almost an hour before it gradually subsided.
Melanie had been chatting idly with Yvonne via message when she suddenly received news from Yana.
Yana wanted to share some gossip, and it felt like she was gleeful about the news she was about to
share.
[Viola caused a huge problem for the company. It was important to Mr. Scott that the company worked
with the Qaisas. It took a lot of effort to finally meet them and discuss business, but Viola ruined the
meeting.
[I heard someone in the company say that Lee and Julie were called back to the office at night by
higher management to work overtime.]
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMelanie was not able to leave anyway. She asked: [What happened?]
She knew long before that Eugene wanted the company to expand in Oskon City.
How could Viola ruin this all on her own?
Yana replied very quickly: [Viola passed out in the office that day and insisted that Mr. Scott take her to
the hospital. He had initially gotten Lee to do it, but she kept crying and sobbing in Mr. Scott’s office.
[The people from the non–profit organization were there, so Mr. Scott had no choice but to take her to
the hospital.
[Lee told me that the Qaisas had only given LeapCo one day to meet up. The company tried to arrange
another meeting time with them again, but so far, there hasn’t been any positive reply from them.]
After Yana was done sending the messages, Melanie was reminded of the day she bumped into
Eugene and Viola at the hospital. No wonder there was a grim look on Eugene’s face and he looked
like he was trying his best to hold something back.
It turned out that was the reason.
Eugene probably did not think that Viola did anything serious by ruining the meeting with the Qaisas.
After all, he had not expressed anything about this issue so far.
Melanie smiled self–deprecatingly. Eugene did manage to do what he had promised.
He had said he would be able to cover Viola no matter what trouble she caused.
Eugene was covering for Viola in something so serious. It must be true love.
Melanie replied a few sentences to Yana nonchalantly and changed the topic after that.
The same heavy rain was splattering down at other corners of North City besides where Melanie was,
and it did not look like it was about to stop.
At a café downstairs in a residential area, Viola was pale and sickly while looking at the man in front of
her. “It’s raining really heavily. What are you doing here?
Mason looked at her with a pained expression. “I just came back from Niere City and heard that you
were having a fever. I was feeling worried, so I came over to have a look at you.”
He was a handsome man, and when he spoke so softly and tenderly, Viola felt like she was all he really
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcared about.
She lifted her gaze and wanted to say something, but when she saw the concerned and restrained look
in Mason’s eyes, she finally could not take it anymore. She vented all her negative feelings.
Since returning from the hospital, she suffered from a fever for a few days. She had taken time off from
the office during this period.
Viola thought that Eugene would come to see her. Unfortunately, besides the reply Eugene gave her
after she sent him a message, there was no sign of him.
When she asked about this, he kept saying he was busy.
There were so many people at LeapCo, and Eugene was the CEO. How busy could he be? Was he
really unable to make some time for her?
Viola did not believe it.
She felt that Eugene had gotten tired of her and wanted to dump her.
Mason did not miss the look of grievance that flashed in her eye. He pushed his glasses up his nose
and said even more tenderly, “Viola, I know that there are some things I’m not supposed to say, but
seeing you like this makes me a little sad.”
He paused and seemed determined about something. “I know you like Eugene Scott, but you’re
suffering, Viola. It upsets me to see you this way. Do you understand what I’m trying to say?”
