Chapter 183
Her grandfather was taken aback. “Why would you want to resign for no reason?”
Melanie had worked very hard to stay at LeapCo, and her grandfather had witnessed her dedication
back then.
Thinking about it, he frowned as he asked in a low voice, “Is it because of Eugene…”
Melanie’s grandfather had figured out what happened between Melanie and Eugene the last time he was admitted to the hospital.
However, he had no idea what to say about it when he looked at Melanie.
“It’s not him,” Melanie spoke up. There was not much change in her expression. She held her grandfather’s hand and sounded calm when she continued, “It’s just that I’m getting burned out working the same job for so many years. I just want to challenge myself with something new.”
Her grandfather frowned. He wanted to say something but hesitated.
Melanie changed the topic and asked, “Did the doctor say when you can be discharged?”
Her grandfather looked at her and sighed. In the end, he decided not to continue asking her about work.
Melanie stayed at the hospital until night and went home only after having dinner with her grandfather.
She received a message from Xander thanking her for the help earlier that day the moment she got home.
Melanie was about to reply when she received a call from an unknown number.
She hesitated before picking up. It was the voice of a middle–aged woman. “Is this, Miss Melanie Smith? How do you do? I’m from Brightman Agency. We noticed that you inquired about rentals last night. We’d like to know if you’re looking to rent or rent out a house?”
Melanie had not been able to sleep last night and registered an account while scrolling online for a place to rent.
She paused and lowered her eyes. “I’m looking to rent.”
“Are there any requirements you have or any particular place that you’re interested in?”
Melanie replied, “Somewhere cheap.”
She looked down and stared at the marks on her table. Her voice was very soft. “But I’m not sure when I want to move.”
The lady from the agency was smart. She caught Melanie’s drift and immediately said, “We can share each other’s contact. You can contact me if you need anything in the future. I’ll help you keep an eye

out as well.”
Melanie did not reject her offer and added the lady to her contacts before cleaning up and going to
rest.
The morning meeting on Mondays had always been handled by respective departments.
When Melanie’s meeting was done, she was informed to head to the office upstairs for another
meeting.

Yana asked her in a whisper, “Melanie, is it time to conduct the analysis for the mid–year review?”
Melanie began packing her things. “It’s probably about time.”
“We’ll have to work overtime.” Yana looked sad.
The secretary’s department had always feared this time of the year when they needed to conduct large -scale summary and analysis because almost the entire company’s problems would be presented to
them.
Their job scope was different from the secretarial work at the CEO’s office. The secretary’s
department downstairs was more like an office to handle odds and ends. They had to take care of
everything.
When Melanie saw Yana still looking dispirited, she raised an eyebrow and said, “Relax. It’s not as bad as you think.”
Yana thought Melanie had no idea how bad the workload was going to be. She sighed and waved Melanie off. “You’ll understand what I mean when the time comes, Melanie.”
Melanie shook her head and left the office.
Yana thought Melanie did not understand how busy it was going to get.
However, Yana had no idea that Melanie had worked hard to get where she was today.
At the very least, Melanie had been in the secretary’s department downstairs for more than a year before being transferred to the CEO’s office.
When Melanie arrived upstairs, the management team from the other departments was already there.
