Chapter 324
Melanie frowned after a moment’s hesitation before driving directly to LeapCo.
She contacted Yana on the way and asked if Eugene was in the company.
[Mr. Scott is at the company, but we have some company representatives coming to discuss partnerships today, so he should be quite busy.]
Melanie originally intended to wait downstairs, but Yana sent a message saying that the representatives from the foreign companies had just left. She could go up now.
Knowing how busy Eugene was, she decided she would just say one thing. She did not want to delay any longer.
She made her way to the president’s office, and only Lee was there.
Melanie looked to the side. When she used to work here, Lee was mostly sent abroad. Now, he seemed to be spending more time with Eugene.
Lee was not surprised to see her. He said hello to her before bringing some documents to Eugene for his signature. Melanie followed him in.
Eugene was going through some documents when he heard Melanie come in. Looking up, she noticed a deep coldness in his dark eyes. “Who allowed you to come in?”
Seeing that he was not signing the documents, she answered softly, “I have something to ask you.”
“Do you have an appointment?”
Melanie paused. “I’ll only take up five minutes of your time.”
“Why should I waste five minutes because of you?” Eugene sneered coldly. He handed the signed documents to Lee, who took the documents and left the office.
Eugene then casually threw the pen in his hand on the table. Clicking his tongue, he looked at Melanie calmly and continued, “Melanie, where did you get the gall to be so confident?”
Melanie squeezed her palms and looked at Eugene. “Apologies, Mr. Scott. That’s indeed my mistake, but I just want to ask you one question. Did you pay the fees for my grandpa’s nursing home?”
Eugene’s long eyelashes drooped. His fingertips were on the table, and his voice was calm as he said, “He used to be nice to me.”
Melanie nodded. “Dr. Lawrence and I have applied for a refund. When the time comes, the money will be transferred back to LeapCo’s account. You can get the finance department to check it.”
Eugene’s fingertips that were on the table stopped moving. His dark eyes were locked on Melanie as he replied in an indiscernible tone, “Good to see you have a spine when it comes to your principles. You don’t just accept any offer given.”
He paused before saying something else that was completely different, “It’s a pity that it’s useless and stupid.”
Chapter 324
Melanie stood there and just took in Eugene’s unceremonious words.
Her grandfather’s operation was successful, and Eugene did help out a lot with that. Closing her eyes,
she said slowly, “You don’t have to concern yourself over my matters anymore. I’ll take care of my family affairs.”
Eugene sneered inexplicably. Melanie did not know what he meant with that response. Not a moment iater, she heard Eugene mock coldly, “Melanie, it’s been years, yet you’re still hopelessly stupid.”
Melanie lowered her gaze. Her own voice rang in her ears as she replied, “I won’t stand in your way again.”
Eugene stared at her. There was a surge in the initially cold and solemn emotions in his eyes before they gradually settled into calmness. It formed an expression of displeasure.
Gaze fixed on Melanie, the man asked, “Did you contact Theodore?”
At the mention of Theodore, Melanie’s expression turned grim. She suddenly recalled Theodore mentioning the night before that Eugene had also instructed him to keep an eye on George.
Why would he do that?
Before she could air her thoughts, however, she heard Eugene’s cold and stern tone say, “You said you’d handle your own family’s matters, yet one of them came to the company, asking me for money. I see you got the hang of things.
“And now you’re asking Theodore about George. Are you planning to introduce George to LeapCo?
“You’ve planned this quite well, Melanie,” Eugene ended faintly.
