Chapter 238
Xander had met Dylan before, and he was aware of the relationship between her and Melanie. He sounded taken aback. “Isn’t she in Hearth City?”
Melanie did not explain. She hung up after saying a few words to Xander.
Her expression returned to normal by the time she came back to the office, but her fingers were still stiff.
Many people were looking her way, but Melanie stood straight and pretended not to notice them.
She looked focused and continued doing her work without interruptions. That was until Julie called her on the phone and told her to go upstairs.
Melanie had no idea what Eugene wanted with her. Her mind felt fuzzy and heavy with thought.
When she got upstairs, she saw Viola present as well.
No wonder Melanie had not seen her in the office.
Melanie pressed her lips. “Is there anything you need from me?”
Eugene’s head was lowered. He was reading something and did not even lift his head when he heard Melanie’s voice. “Hand in all your files on Blue Inc.”
Melanie was silent and said nothing.
Eugene did not hear her speak for quite a while. He tapped the table with his slender finger and looked up at her impassively. “Melanie, you have no authority here. You’re just a secretary.”
Melanie was shaken. Biting her lip, she said slowly, “I know how to handle Mr. Morrison’s issue. Just let me have one more chance at this.”
If the project with Blue Inc was a success, Melanie would not only get a bonus, but she could even build some connections. She did not want to give up on this.
However, Eugene snorted coldly. He looked up at her and reminded Melanie nonchalantly, ” Are you sure you still have the energy to work on the Blue Inc project?”
Blood drained from Melanie’s face. She knew Eugene was talking about Dylan.
“Melanie, your mother looked like she was in urgent need of help yesterday. Why don’t you focus on handling your family issues?” Viola stood at the side in a docile manner.
She added sincerely, “Besides, the entire company seems to be focused on this. Don’t overthink this, Melanie. Everyone is just concerned about you.”
She sounded sincere, as if she really cared for Melanie.
That video of Melanie was recorded by an employee who had brought her child to the hospital to see a doctor.
However, the real reason for the excited discussions was that someone had asked Viola who that woman was.
Chapter 258
The screenshot was still displayed inside the group chat.
In retrospect, Viola could claim that she had no idea why everyone had asked her the question, or she could claim that she thought everyone knew.
There were too many excuses for her to give.
As for Melanie, she was not even bothered to blame Viola.
It was because this was true.
Dylan was her mother.
Even if she was a blood–sucking parasite, she was still Dylan’s mother.
It was the mother who shared a DNA with her.
Melanie looked upset, and Eugene’s cold voice rang in her ear. “LeapCo isn’t a charity. We won’t take any risks because of you.”
He looked grimly at Melanie for a while before saying, “I can’t be solving your problems for you every time.”
Melanie shut her eyes for quite a while before saying gently, “Alright, I understand.”
Eugene was determined not to let her handle Blue Inc, and there was nothing she could do
about it.
She headed downstairs to put together all the files to bring upstairs. Melanie did not expect Viola to follow behind her.
Viola took the files from Melanie and said crisply, “Give them to me, Melanie. I’ll follow up with Blue Inc. I can ask you anything about it since we’re working in the same office.”
