Chapter 492
His voice was cold. “I have to rush to the company for a meeting now, so I can’t turn back.”
In the end, Melanie located the document according to Eugene’s description.
When she went downstairs, Landon was helping Henry take his medicine. When he saw what Melanie was holding, Henry asked, “Is that Eugene’s?”
“Yes, he forgot to bring it. I’ll send it to him.”
It was still raining outside, and Melanie could not bring herself to make Henry deliver the document. She had to go by herself.
Henry did not have many employees in his household, either. Apart from him and Landon, there was only one cook and one cleaner left in the house.
Melanie held the umbrella and went outside to hail a taxi.
By the time she reached LeapCo, the rain was lessening. Melanie went straight upstairs to find Eugene.
Melanie frowned a little as she went. Plenty of people worked overtime at LeapCo on usual days, but today seemed especially busy even by LeapCo’s standards.
When she was walking out of the elevator, she bumped into the former intern from the secretary’s office who had been officially hired.
The intern was surprised to see her.
Melanie did not stop walking. She went straight to Eugene, determined to deliver the file and leave instantly.
However, when she knocked on the door and went inside, she realized that Eugene was not in
his office.
Melanie looked at the empty office and placed the file on Eugene’s desk. She then sent him. another message and turned to leave.
Before she could walk out the door, she received Eugene’s reply. [Small conference room.]
Melanie had no choice but to take the documents to the small conference room.
However, when she pushed the door open, she realized that the room was filled with people. Lee, Julie, and some of the company’s higher–ups were there. They all looked up as soon as she opened the door.
Melanie stopped in her tracks and walked over to Eugene expressionlessly. She placed the document in front of him and said coldly, “Your document.”
Eugene looked up. When he was working, his expression was solemn, making him look unapproachable. His tone was icy. “Put it down and get out.”
Melanie frowned and mimicked his tone. “Never ask me to bring you anything again.”
Melanie did not like Eugene’s attitude. She had braved the rain to deliver the document to him, and he did not even say a word of thanks. Even now, he had such a high and mighty
attitude.
It was no surprise that she sounded cross.
Eugene paused as he was flipping through the file. He looked at her indifferently. “Do you want me to repeat myself?”
The news that Melanie had come to LeapCo to deliver a document to Eugene had already spread throughout the company’s internal group chat by the afternoon.
Viola was shopping for presents at the mall with Mason when she found out.
She looked at the deluge of messages in the group chat. Her expression became stormier and stormier.
Melanie went to LeapCo to deliver a file to Eugene?
How could Eugene have left the file with Melanie-?
The more Viola thought about it, the more conspiratorial her thoughts became. Slowly, the corners of her lips tightened into a tense line.
Mason approached her with a glass of juice and handed it to Viola. “Why do you look so pale all of a sudden? Are you feeling unwell again?”
His voice was filled with concern, and Viola snapped out of it. She looked at Mason’s handsome face, the images of Melanie and Eugene flashing through her mind.
Eventually, an intense hatred slowly gathered in her eyes.
Eugene had gotten together with that bitch Melanie again.
