Chapter 684
Lee tried to forget about that discomforting thought. He asked Eugene, “Mr. Scott, what should we do with Miss Shaw?”
He knew the reason why Eugene had not done anything to Viola all this while.
Rockwater had used Viola to steal LeapCo’s classified information, which caused LeapCo a huge loss that could not be salvaged.
The headquarters was clearly unhappy with Eugene. He was supposed to be transferred back to the headquarters, but the board of directors had voiced their objections over this due to the mistake he made.
Eugene was not happy about being sabotaged by Rockwater.
That was why he still needed Viola.
Lee stared at Viola in the monitor and suddenly felt alarmed about everything that was happening.
The next second, he heard Eugene’s voice, which was deep, cold, and even enraged. “Do you need me to teach you what to do?”
Lee saw the frosty look in Eugene’s eyes and immediately understood.
He stood up straight. “Yes, Mr. Scott. I’ll get this done right now.
“How are you going to get things done at this hour? Where are you going to get it done?” Eugene’s cold voice spoke up again before Lee could move.
Lee stood where he was. It did not seem right to walk off nor did it seem right to stay.

It was when Eugene grunted coldly and passed by Lee out of the office that Lee realized what he needed to do next.
However, he did not dare follow Eugene too closely. Eugene was enraged right now, and anyone could tell that they should not go anywhere near Eugene.
Melanie and Hugh returned to the hotel. Hugh stayed downstairs to pick up a sudden phone call while Melanie went upstairs on her own.
She did not have much of an appetite. She ate something simple at the restaurant in the hotel before returning to her room.
It was when she got back to her room that she realized she had several missed calls. They were all from Howard, and it annoyed Melanie tremendously.
Chapter 684
She turned off her phone and immediately washed up to go to bed.
However, she could not sleep and decided to go through Redwaves‘ proposal. She researched the proposal until midnight.
When she went to the meeting hall the next morning, Yvette asked, “What did you do last night? Even if you were seeing a young man, you didn’t need to exhaust yourself throughout the night. It doesn’t help that you’re pregnant. You’re pretty saucy, aren’t you?”
Melanie rubbed her throbbing temple and explained, “I couldn’t sleep last night. I spent the entire night reading the proposal.”
She finally managed to sleep in the middle of the night, and it was past eight by the time she woke up. By the time Melanie got dressed, she decided to head straight for the conference hall because she was worried about being stuck in rush hour.
Melanie did not have breakfast yet. She bumped into Hugh delivering breakfast to her when she went out the door. She grabbed the breakfast from him and quickly went over to the conference hall.
There was still 15 minutes left before the meeting started. Melanie gave it some thought and decided to finish her breakfast outside. Yvette followed her out.
When they got to the door, they saw Lee coming in with a huge box. He bumped right into them.
Yvette said, “Hey, be careful. What are you doing so early in the morning?”
Lee smiled apologetically. He looked at Melanie and said, “Mr. Scott is buying everyone breakfast.”
Most of those dabbling in arts were never on time. Most of the people in the conference hall were yawning while some of them were having breakfast.
When they heard Lee’s voice, everyone perked up and went to him with smiles on their faces.
The breakfast Eugene had prepared was bought from a café nearby. They were all packed exquisitely and tasted quite good.
Lee handed out the breakfast one by one. Melanie turned and left.
“Hey, why are you leaving?” Yvette followed her out. She was holding a cup of coffee in her hand. She recommended the coffee to Melanie, saying, “This café’s beans are sourced from South Africa. They’re really famous for it.”
