The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

Dylan’s matter, her grandfather’s health, her job, Eugene, and Viola had almost broken Melanie down mentally and physically. However, she did not have the time to be devastated.

She had to face this by herself. No one could save her if she let herself fall into the abyss of despair.

No one!

No one would help her!

She only had herself.

Melanie clenched the steering wheel with her slender fingers as she listened to the man’s indifferent voice from the other end of the call. “Melanie, don’t you think you're making a joke out of yourself now?”

She felt as if she had been suffocated by seawater, making her lungs swell up.

However, Melanie heard that cold voice again. “Come upstairs in five minutes.”

After giving this order, he ended the call. Only the sound of the phone beeping could be heard. Melanie looked at the box beside her. The charm Albert gave her was on top of it.

Her grandfather’s carving of her nickname ‘Mel was on it.

Albert gave her the name Melanie, saying it was a nice and melodious name.

However, her grandmother disagreed because the meaning of Melanie was dark in Greek. She did not want Melanie to live a dark life.

When Melanie headed upstairs, she bumped into those employees getting off work. Some greeted her. Viola was among them, and she looked at her hesitantly. Melanie ignored Viola and headed straight to Eugene’s office.

When she walked out of the elevator, she heard Viola blurt out, “I think the security personnel should be strengthened. It seems like just anyone can enter the office.”

Melanie’s footstep froze for a moment.

Just as she entered the president's office, she bumped into Lee walking out with the documents. He wasn’t surprised to see Melanie and greeted her with a nod before leaving.

Melanie looked at the ground and waited for a while before entering. Eugene was making a call inside while standing before the French windows. His face was cold as ever.

Upon hearing Melanie opening the door, he glanced at her and looked away immediately.

Melanie stood there, not knowing why she was here. She could only lower her eyes and look at the documents on Eugene’s table as she let her mind drift away.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Those were the documents she organized for the Blue Inc project. Chapter 3073 When she left, they were handed over to Viola.

“Since you're here to beg for my help, aren’t you going to prove your sincerity?” Eugene casually placed the phone on the table as he looked at Melanie deeply.

Melanie bit her lip. “I told you | can do anything you want me to do as long as you're willing to help me.”

Eugene sneered. He lifted his chin slightly. “Am | the one begging for your help?”

Melanie froze. She looked at Eugene’s straight face, and his eyes that were staring at her were cold. However, she did not know what she could do.

She had always been ordered around and had never taken the lead when she was with Eugene. She had always been obedient and good.

After not getting any response from her for some time, Eugene lowered his gaze and said calmly, “If you can’t give up on holding onto your useless dignity, don’t put on a look as if you’re making a big sacrifice. Melanie, don’t push it.”

He wanted to leave after saying that. However, when he walked past Melanie, his wrist was suddenly grabbed. Melanie’s hand was shuddering, yet she pretended to be calm and pulled Eugene.

Her fingers ran through his palm and moved toward his fingers.
