Chapter 323
Stella had a bad temper. No matter who it was, she would always treat them arrogantly and speak to them harshly.
Melanie was not surprised. She looked away and turned around to enter the office but was caught by Stella.
The annoyed look on her face became a touch colder as she sneered. “As expected, good things don’t come in pairs but bad things all come together.”
Viola noticed Melanie as well. Realizing that Melanie might have heard Stella’s words earlier, the expression on her face immediately stiffened.
The only one who was calm was Melanie. She went straight into the office as if she had not heard anything.
When Dr. Wells saw her, his attitude was very gentle as he said, “The patient is in good condition now, but surgery puts a toll on the body either way. He needs to take good care of himself.
“Considering the patient’s special situation, we think it’s okay to let him stay in the ICU for another half month. Do you think it’s okay?”
Staying in the ICU was not cheap and required the family’s consent. Melanie nodded, and Dr. Wells gave her a few more bills to pay.
Melanie left the office with the bills but was immediately stopped.
Viola was no longer as youthful as she was when she first joined the company. She was now dressed in a professional suit, and her hair was permed. The curls were scattered across her shoulders. She looked like an elite urban beauty.
On the other hand, Melanie had no time to tidy herself up because she had been busy running to and from the hospital these days. She was just wearing an ordinary shirt and trousers, with her long hair tied into a ponytail.
Viola withdrew her gaze from Melanie and smirked proudly. “Melanie, it’s really you. I saw you but didn’t dare think it was you.”
In a shocked tone, she continued, “I didn’t think you’d change so much after leaving LeapCo.”
How could Melanie not hear the sarcasm in Viola’s words?
She was also actually taller than Viola, but since the woman was wearing heels while she was wearing flats for convenience, Viola was half a head taller than her. She deliberately lowered her gaze to look at Melanie when talking to her, giving her an image of aloofness.
Melanie looked her up and down expressionlessly. She replied, “You haven’t changed much.”
Viola’s face stiffened slightly. What did Melanie mean by that?
She quickly regained her composure.
What was she afraid of?
Melanie had been reduced to this situation now and would no longer step foot in LeapCo
again, so there was nothing for her to be proud of.
The smile on Viola’s face widened a bit. She pretended to say casually, “I heard before that you had a family member in the hospital. It’s such a coincidence. Eugene asked me to accompany his mother for an examination.”
Melanie looked up. “What’s the coincidence?”
Viola paused for a moment. Melanie looked at her with a cold snort before she turned around and left.
Was Viola not just here to show off? She mentioned her relationship with Eugene and Stella, both openly and implicitly,
Melanie was not interested in partaking in her act. Just as she was about to take her leave, however, Viola’s voice rang out again. “Melanie, it’s my birthday next week, and Eugene is throwing a birthday party for me. Will you come?”
Melanie did not say anything since Viola was not actually inviting her.
Eugene, however…
Melanie’s gaze darkened a little, but she still had to go to Eugene to clear things up.
After paying the bill in the lobby, Melanie called him, but it went unanswered.
