Chapter 23
Stephen frowned. He held Melanie’s elbows with both hands and asked in a deep voice, “Are you
okay?”
Melanie pursed her lips and said nothing. She took a moment to react.
She stood up slowly and took two steps back. Her voice sounded a little tired. “Oh, it’s you. sorry. I
didn’t notice you just now.”
I’m
“Mel.” Stephen stopped her.
Melanie looked at him. She was tipsy, so her lips were bright red, and her eyes were a little
dazed.
Stephen’s eyes flickered slightly. He took off his coat and handed it to her. “I’ll take you back.”
When Melanie followed Stephen out, Simon and a few others were waiting outside. When Simon saw
Stephen, he said, “Let’s go to GT! Hunter said there’s a hottie working there recently…”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBefore he could finish speaking, Simon saw Melanie frowning behind Stephen. He immediately
stopped talking,
Stephen said frankly, “I’m taking Mel home. You guys go ahead.”
Melanie was tall and thin. She looked like a bamboo standing next to Stephen..
Simon snorted, picked up his phone, took a photo of the couple, and sent it to the group.
Some of his friends nearby were curious as to what Simon was doing, so Simon said nonchalantly,
“Don’t you think that Melanie is so unfeminine? No man will want her. Tsk, tsk. No wonder Eugene
would rather send dinner to Viola.”
Melanie only saw the photo posted to the group chat the next day. Several people joked about
1. it.
Melanie did not care. She wanted to send a message to a customer, but she accidentally clicked on the
group chat and saw the message.
Just as she was about to exit the group chat, she noticed a message from Viola that read, [ Melanie
and Mr. York look like a good match.]
Simon replied to that message. [You and Eugene look like a better couple.]
Melanie’s eyes lingered on this message for a while. She then exited the group chat and went to the
president’s office with a document.
Melanie was going on a business trip in the afternoon and had a document that needed Eugene’s
signature.
Before she reached the president’s office, Viola stopped her.
Viola sat at Melanie’s old desk and said with a sweet smile, “Melanie, what’s the matter?”
“I’m looking for Eugene.”
Viola said calmly, “Eugene is currently on a conference call. He’s not free.”
Chapter 23
Melanie looked at her with cold eyes, showing no emotion. She said, “I need his signature.” Viola
frowned in distress. “But Melanie, this is the secretary’s office rule. Did you forget it?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMelanie held the document. “When will the meeting end?”
“Maybe in ten minutes.” Viola added, “Why don’t you go back first? I’ll let you know when he’s free.”
Melanie had nothing to say, so she nodded and prepared to leave.
However, Viola suddenly called out to her. “Melanie.”
She pointed to Eugene’s office door and reminded Melanie softly. “Eugene is the president of LeapCo.
It would be more appropriate for you to call him Mr. Scott in the future. Otherwise people will think that
our company isn’t formal enough.”
Viola’s smile was flawless. The concern in her eyes was also genuine.
However, Melanie felt as if someone had drenched her heart in ice.
She felt cold to the core.
Melanie went back to her desk and sat there the whole afternoon, but she did not receive a call from
Viola.
After work, Eugene came over and knocked on Melanie’s desk. “Why haven’t you gone to Jesenburg
yet?”
Melanie raised her eyes to look at him, handed over the document on the table, and pursed her lips. “I
was waiting for your signature.”
Eugene frowned, so Melanie added, “Viola said that I can’t disturb you, so she asked me to wait.” a
