Chapter 539
Melanie looked questioningly at Eugene.
The office was very quiet. In fact, Melanie had not planned on going into the office. She had initially wanted to wait for Eugene outside at the lounge.
However, she did not expect to see Stella and Evelyn, which eventually led to her going into the office.
She took the brunt of Eugene’s cold stare. Her fists were slightly clenched, and she forced herself to stand straight.
However, Eugene looked away after sweeping a glance at her. His tone was calm as usual. “I can’t tell right or wrong just because I refuse to testify on your behalf?
“Aren’t you a little too domineering about this?”
He made an internal call after saying this. “Come inside.”
Lee walked in the moment he hung up. Eugene looked up, and his cool gaze fell on Melanie. Show Miss Smith out the door.”
Lee went up to Melanie. “Come with me, Melanie.”
Eugene was refusing to talk to her about this.
Melanie looked down, and her fingers fidgeted by her sides. She wanted to say something.
However, she heard Eugene speak with indifference, “This is my last warning to you, Lee. My office isn’t a place where anyone can come in.”
Melanie swallowed her words. She looked thoughtfully at Eugene before turning to leave.
Lee walked her all the way downstairs. He had a good relationship with Melanie, and when he saw how silent she was, he gave it some thought before saying, “I’ll help you get a taxi.”
Melanie looked up at him and shook her head. “It’s fine.”
She left after that.
Lee stood where he was and watched Melanie leave before returning to the office.
He was unaware that the moment Melanie turned into a corner, the dark look on her face disappeared.
She took her phone out from the bag and turned off the voice recording before continuing forward.
Melanie was feeling a little frustrated that her original plan did not work.
She did not plan on asking Eugene about this so directly, but Stella and Evelyn were present. They would never allow her to speak with Eugene for too long.
Melanie had no choice but to change her tactics and cut to the chase.
She stared at her phone as waves of emotions washed over her.
Meanwhile, back upstairs in LeapCo, Eugene was looking at Stella, who was seated on the
couch. He was not bothered to express much and asked in a cold voice, “What else do you want?”
“Can’t I stop by for no reason?” Stella asked. “Don’t forget that I’m your mother, Eugene.” “So, what else do you want?” Eugene was unperturbed and looked at Stella calmly.
Stella had always projected an exquisite image of an elegant lady. Now, there was a look of rage on her face as she stared back at Eugene.
She tried her best to hold back her anger as she said to Evelyn, “Can you wait for me outside, Evie? I need to talk to Eugene alone.”
Evelyn stood up graciously. “I’ll go downstairs to familiarize myself with my future position.”
Stella maintained her calmness until Evelyn left. Her face fell the moment the office door was shut. She stared at Eugene. “What kind of attitude was that? What do you mean you have no time to be a teacher?”
