Chapter 187
Melanie was not surprised that Viola was now a full–time staff member. Her probation was about to
end, anyway.
She turned to look at Eugene. “I thought Julie was handling it.”
“Her files are still in the secretary’s department. They haven’t been transferred,” Eugene replied calmly.
Melanie frowned. The secretary’s department was where Viola had started when she first joined LeapCo. She was later brought over to the CEO’s office by Eugene.
LeapCo’s secretary’s department and the CEO’s secretary were two different departments. Melanie had thought that Viola had already been transferred over as Eugene took good care of her.
However, Melanie was reminded of how she had to help Viola even with her internship report.
A look flashed in Melanie’s eyes, but she quickly looked down to hide her emotions.
It was none of her business if Viola was transferred. All Melanie needed to do was her own job.
Melanie had just stepped out of Eugene’s office when she heard Viola say happily, “I’m buying everyone dinner tonight.”
She had just walked out when Viola blinked and looked at Melanie. A pretty smile appeared on Viola’s face. “Do you want to join us, Melanie? When I first came to LeapCo, you were the one who taught me the ropes.”
Melanie’s expression remained stoic. “Count me out. You guys have fun.”
Viola objected and said in a coaxing tone, “But Melanie, don’t you know why I’m buying everyone dinner? I’m about to be a full–timer here.”
There was a tone of delight in her voice when she was saying this.
Viola even hugged Melanie’s arm intimately. She raised her eyebrow and said happily to Melanie, Eugene said I’m the intern who became a full–timer in the shortest period. I’m just slightly quicker than you, Melanie.”
Viola emphasized the word ‘full–timer‘, and Melanie wondered if she was also bragging about her
relationship with Eugene.
Melanie said, “Congratulations.”
Viola wanted to show off in front of Melanie but was not given any reaction. This made Viola slightly
uncomfortable.
She asked Melanie moodily, “Are you in a bad mood, Melanie? Why don’t you look happy?”
Melanie glanced at her. She wanted to ignore the little games Viola was playing and said calmly,

Remember to report your full–time conversion to me”
Viola was taken aback. “Why?”
Melanie finally looked up at Viola and said curtly, “Because you haven’t been officially transferred.”
She left after saying this to Viola and did not see Viola’s expression change.
Melanie returned to her workstation, and Yana came over with a huge stack of documents, “Melanie, these are half a year’s worth of data sent over by the export toxum.”
She looked at the heap of documents and knew that they had to work overtime that night.
There was a moody atmosphere in the office. Everyone looked depressed.
Melanie gave this some thought and turned to look at Yana. “Do all of you prefer pizza or barbecue?”
Yana replied indifferently, “I guess I’d feel like having pizza right now.”
“Alright, I’ll buy everyone dinner tonight.” Melanie nodded.
Yana’s eyes widened when she heard this. “Melanie, did you get a promotion and a raise?”
Melanie tidied the documents on her table and said nonchalantly, “It’s going to be a few days of hard work ahead. I’m buying everyone dinner in advance to pump up the morale.”
Everyone in the office perked up at Melanie’s words. Their efficiency had obviously improved too,
Yana came over to her and said, “It’s really generous of you, Melanie.”
Melanie flung a file over to her. “Extract the information here, double–check it, and deliver it to the finance department.”
