The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

The hotel was 40 minutes from Mr. Fuller’s place. Melanie looked at the greenery outside the window with her brows knitted together.

“Are you feeling unwell?” Eugene’s deep voice sounded, snapping Melanie out of her thoughts.

“No,” replied Melanie.

“Really? You don’t look good.”

Melanie bit her lip and could not help herself from asking, “Do you think it was a coincidence?”

She looked worried, yet Eugene looked at her calmly and asked, “What do you think it was?”

Melanie wanted to speak but did not know what to say.

If it was not a coincidence, who would have done this? Moreover, Melanie had no enemies in Oskon City.

LeapCo’s major businesses were not in Oskon City either. She seldom went to Oskon City. She had only come to Oskon City on business trips.

Then, she looked outside the window and sighed. “Maybe I’ve been too anxious lately. That’s why I’m overthinking.” Eugene said nothing.

When they were back at the hotel, Melanie charged her phone and went to take a bath. She stopped thinking about the incident. At most, she would remind herself to be more careful next time.

Surprisingly, Hugh came looking for her.

“Yes?” Melanie had just taken her bath and was blowing her hair. She wore a light gray cotton casual attire with a long windbreaker.

Hugh was holding a food container. Expressionlessly and monotonously, he said, “Yvonne said she wants to have supper with you.”

Melanie looked at his other hand. As she had expected, Hugh was video -calling Yvonne again.

After a moment of silence, she asked Yvonne, “Why didn’t you call me directly?”

Yvonne grinned. “It'll be livelier with more people around...”

Then, she drank a mouthful of wine. Only then did Melanie notice the many bottles of wine on Yvonne's table. One was empty, It seemed that Yvonne was in a bad mood.

Melanie glanced at Hugh, who looked gloomy. Melanie pursed her lips and made way for Hugh to enter. “Come in.”

However, a voice came from behind them before Hugh could step into the room. Melanie.”

Hugh turned around and saw Eugene standing outside with a cold expression. He wore a white shirt, and his gaze was sharp.

Eugene looked at Hugh before glancing at Melanie.

Melanie saw Eugene and froze. “Why are you here?”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Her tone sounded cold and unfriendly. Her brows were furrowed as if she was unaccustomed to seeing Eugene around her. Eugene calmly reminded her, “Have you forgotten how you looked for me that night?”

Those words sounded weird, and Melanie retorted, “I looked for you to talk about Redwaves‘ tender document.”

Eugene’s gaze turned cold. “Did | say you came looking for me for another reason?”

Melanie could hear the coldness and anger in his words. Her expression turned ugly, and she wanted to retort again.

However, Yvonne's impatient complaint came from Hugh’s phone. “Why do you all have so much to talk about? | want someone to have a drink with me. Is that so difficult?”

Yvonne had always been outgoing, but she was never an unreasonable person.

Moreover, Melanie could hear from Yvonne's voice that Yvonne was already drunk.
