Chapter 496
In Eugene’s office, the faint smell of sandalwood filled the air. With tears on her face, Viola stared wistfully at the man in front of her.
Eugene was dressed in a dark formal suit, making him look cold and indifferent. His clear jawline made him look even more ruthless.
He looked calmly at the documents in front of him, frowning slightly. He did not even look up at Viola.
In the end, Viola could not help it. She choked and said, “Eugene, how can you treat me like this? How could you spend the night with another woman? I’m your girlfriend!”
Eugene’s hand paused as he flipped through the file. His tone did not change. “Like I said, you’re overthinking it.”
“Everyone in the company saw her bringing you the file! If you weren’t together at night, how could you have left the documents with her?
“Did she seduce you? She used work as an excuse to get close to you every day. I knew she wouldn’t give up on you!”
Viola’s tone was already a little hoarse. She looked at Eugene, trying to get an answer from him.
Eugene put down the document and looked up at Viola with his dark eyes. “Do you think she used her job to seduce me?”
“Didn’t she?!” Viola was mad with jealousy as she recalled the comments she had heard from the others.
They sounded so sure. They all said that Melanie was a better fit for Eugene.
That bitch had no right!
All she ever did was rely on her face and pretentious attitude to seduce men everywhere! She gave them her body in exchange for favors at work!
When Viola thought of what Mason had said to her, disgust welled up in her heart. She looked at Eugene, gritted her teeth, and finally blurted out, “Eugene, don’t fall for her wiles! Melanie Smith is a filthy whore. She always uses her body to do business!”
Eugene completely stopped what he was doing. His eyebrows were slightly raised, and there was not much emotion in his dark eyes. He stared at Viola, his Adam’s apple bobbing up and down. Then, he asked nonchalantly, “Are you saying she earned all her accolades by sleeping around?”
Viola assumed Eugene had no idea and nodded quickly. “I’ve been talking with Rockwater’s general manager recently. H–He said Melanie tried to seduce him before-”
Viola seemed embarrassed at this point, her lips slightly pursed.
When she spoke, she still looked pitiful. Her eyes were filled with hurt and humiliation as she looked at Eugene as if he had wronged her.
Viola’s tears flowed freely as she looked into Eugene’s dark eyes. There was a deliberate
stubbornness in her expression as she said, “Eugene, she’s stringing Xander and Stephen along even now. Think about it! If it weren’t for her beauty and body, why would they help her like that?”
Eugene’s face darkened slightly. Viola was sobbing so loudly in the office that the secretaries. outside could hear her.
She read the anger in her expression and quickly fell silent. Still expressionless, he asked, “So what are you trying to say?”
“I-“Viola opened her mouth. She looked into Eugene’s cold eyes and was at a loss for words.
The very next second, Eugene dismissed her. “If there’s nothing else, leave and tell Lee to come in.”
Viola looked at Eugene in disbelief as if she had misheard him. “Eugene…”
“I still have to handle the mess with the Qaisas in Oskon City. I’m not in the mood to gossip about other people’s private affairs.” Eugene’s voice was cold.
Viola turned pale again. The last time the Qaisas held a meeting at LeapCo, Eugene had missed out on the opportunity to negotiate with them because of her.
However…
Viola could not help but think that was Melanie’s fault, too. If Melanie had not gone to curry favor with Henry Scott that day, she would not have pestered Eugene to go with her.
