Chapter 342
“She’s completely clueless! We lost a client because of her mistake, but she insisted that it was Cecilia’s fault.”
Melanie lowered her gaze, her face expressionless. Before she had even left, word had been going around the office that Viola would take over after her.
Yana snorted. “But she can keep dreaming. In any case, she was transferred away from the secretary’s office less than two days after she joined. I don’t even know what she’s doing now. She isn’t doing anything actually useful, wandering around like a ghost.”
Melanie was not very interested in Viola’s affairs. She asked Yana out for a meal mainly because she wanted to ask Yana about LeapCo and Vanke.
Even though Eugene had made his position clear, Melanie did not want to give up.
Moreover, she had never expected Eugene to agree to the deal immediately. The important thing was that he had fired Quentin, so there was no chance he would work with him.
In other words, there should be another link between Quentin and LeapCo.
Melanie thought for a moment and asked Yana, “Is LeapCo venturing into a new field recently? The company even got in touch with Dreamcatchers.”
Yana was also smart, and Hannah had told her Melanie’s reason for coming over today. This was not a secret anyway, so she was more than happy to do Melanie a favor.
She lowered her voice and said, “Actually, we all feel that Mr. Scott isn’t particularly enthusiastic about this collaboration. Dreamcatchers reached out to him several times, but he rejected them every time.
“Besides, the export department is single–handedly behind this. They only submitted the proposal after all the terms had been agreed on. They said that good publicity is necessary if we want to enter the market.”
What Yana knew was not very different from what Melanie had heard. However, Melanie was a little surprised to hear that this was the export department’s plan.
She had worked at the export department before. Quentin was also the export manager at the time.
Gears turned in Melanie’s mind, but she did not say much to Yana. After dinner, she returned to the north side of the city.
The next morning, she received a call from Reny. “Melanie, the department has suddenly informed us to set up a salon at Osmanthus Park in the west side of the city. Do you want to come with us or head over there yourself?”
Although there was a fight brewing between Dreamcatchers and Burning Star, the department still wanted the two groups to work together amicably. After all, that would be best for them.
Melanie said, “I’ll head straight over.”
Osmanthus Park was a small suburban farm that specialized in leisure and entertainment.
When Melanie reached the farm, Xander and the others had not yet arrived.
Chapter 342
The staff took her to a leisure area while Melanie told Xander that she had arrived.
There was the sound of footsteps at the door. Melanie assumed it was one of the staff and paid it no mind, until a sleazy voice spoke up behind her.
“Melanie, you’re looking good today.”
Melanie’s eyes went cold. She looked across at Quentin. “And you look awful. Which nightmare did you crawl out of this time?”
Quentin’s face twisted, but he had other members of Vanke with him, so he could only sit across the room from her and fume in silence.
Melanie sat in the conference room for a moment. Although Quentin said nothing, his eyes kept darting to her from time to time.
It was like a bug crawling under her skin.
She got up in frustration and left the room.
The air was crisp in the suburbs, and the amenities of Osmanthus Park were beautifully constructed. Melanie stared at the pond in the distance, and her irritation slowly faded.
Suddenly, a black car drove in from the direction of the entrance. Melanie did not see the license plate clearly, but since the car was black, she assumed it was Xander and the others.
