Chapter 217
The phone slowly dimmed, and Melanie’s fingertips on the table felt icy cold. She had never booked a health check–up for herself. She almost lost control of the expression on her face as her body trembled.
The health check–up notification made her realize how ridiculous and pathetic she was.
“Melanie, I have a question for you.” Right on cue, Viola came over holding a small stack of documents. Melanie looked up at her.
Melanie’s complexion was so poor that even with her heavy makeup, her troubled emotions were evident. However, Viola seemed oblivious to the fact as she placed the documents in front of Melanie.
She whispered, “Melanie, the specifications here aren’t very clear. How should I arrange them?
Melanie lowered her gaze to the documents and replied coldly after a moment, “Are you disabled, or have you never been on the internet?”
Viola was stunned. She did not expect Melanie to react this way. Based on how things went in the past, Melanie would usually take care of such tasks herself at this point.
Viola reacted quickly. After just a moment of confusion, she immediately put on a helpless expression and said in a soft and delicate voice, “Melanie, I just want to get your guidance on this.”
Her fair face turned pale as she said this. Her slender shoulders looked so fragile as if they were about to collapse.
Suddenly, Melanie felt that her previous decision to ignore Viola’s actions might have been a mistake as it seemed to have allowed Viola to think she was easy to bully.
Shuffling through the documents placed on the table, Melanie cut to the chase. “The item specifications are unclear, but the information for Blue Inc’s cultural items is available on their official website.
“Do yo
you not even have the energy to open their web address, or did they not teach you how to look up information during your internship in the CEO’s office?”
Melanie’s tone was cold, and her attitude was harsh. Viola’s expression transitioned from shock to embarrassment as she bit her lip pitifully. Her eyes were starting to redden. The entire office had long focused on them, and now, everyone was watching silently.
Being at the center of their attention made Melanie uncomfortable. She eased up a bit and said, “Leave the documents. You don’t need to come back until you’ve learned how to use a search engine.”
Viol left with red eyes while sniffling. She lowered happened to be lunch break.

“Melanie, should I bring you some food?” Yana did not say much either and left the office

directly. With the office empty, Melanie once again picked up her phone. The screen lit up with the notification from Jepton Hospital still displayed.
Melanie remained silent for a moment before deleting the text message. Come afternoon, she contacted the person in charge at Blue Inc and received a positive response. After expressing her intentions, they agreed to meet in person.
Without further delay, she packed up her things and left the company. However, she
unexpectedly ran into Lee in the parking lot. Lee was Eugene’s only male secretary, and apart from work, he kept a low profile.
When the man saw Melanie, he took the initiative to greet her, “Melanie, are you heading out?
“Yeah.” Melanie nodded but had no intention to say anymore.
Lee took a few steps toward the black Maybach parked nearby. The car window slowly rolled down, revealing Eugene’s expressionless face.
“Mr. Scott, I’ve prepared everything for the visit to Blue Inc. I’ve also arranged to meet with the person in charge in about an hour.”
Lee knew how much Eugene cared about the collaboration with Blue Inc. What he found strange, however, was that he was not bringing Melanie with him and instead got him to tag. along
After all, this project had already been assigned to Melanie.
Unaware that Eugene was around, Melanie sat in her car for a while. Just as she was about to start the car, she received a call from her grandfather.
