The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

Tina was startled. “Are you going to resign?”

Melanie looked at the date on her phone and said calmly, “I'll send it to you on Friday.”

After she said that, she left the elevator, ignoring Tina’s look of shock.

Melanie finally let out a sigh of relief after being busy for a few days. Friday morning, she reported all of the data she got to Eugene and then went to Tina with her resignation letter.

Tina’s expression was amazing when she saw Melanie. Then, she looked at Melanie with a complicated look in her eyes. “I thought you were joking.”

Melanie smiled. “My contract’s up anyway.”

“What about Mr. Scott?”

“He knows. | told him before.” When Melanie made up her mind in the morning, she notified Eugene about her resignation. Tina continued asking, “Are you sure about this?”

Anyone who had worked in LeapCo for some time knew how much importance Melanie attached to LeapCo. One could even say that she had spent most of her youth in this company.

“If you're resigning because of Viola and Mr. Scott, | think it's unnecessary. You can just get another man, and it’s not easy to get to where you are today...”

Tina thought Melanie wanted to leave LeapCo because of Eugene and Viola, so she advised earnestly, Don’t be stupid, Melanie.”

Melanie blinked and explained after she calmed herself down, “It’s not what you think. | just want to rest.”

She was in a bad mood after she left Tina’s office.

When she went back to her office, she grabbed the tenure reports and went upstairs.

Viola was not around, so she walked straight into Eugene’s office to put her name list on his desk. Her voice was calm when she said, “There are six names for tenure, including Viola’s.”

Eugene lifted his eyebrows and looked at Melanie. “Six?”Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Someone resigned, so there’s space for a new person.”

Eugene narrowed his eyes and looked at Melanie. After some time, he asked, “Who resigned?” “Me.”

Eugene's face turned cold and he looked at Melanie oppressively. Then, he repeated coldly, “You?” “My contract is up. | told you before.”

Melanie continued, “I’ve handed in my resignation and I'll be gone next month.”

There was no emotion in Eugene’s eyes. He stayed silent for a while and then curled his lips in

sarcasm.

Her grandfather was getting discharged today so after Melanie worked overtime, she would go pick him up. Then, she would go home after she sent him to the sanatorium.

However, halfway through her journey, she got a call from Stephen. He said that Xander would be in Jepton tomorrow and they should have dinner together.

“Just send me the location,” Melanie said.

Stephen smiled. “Do you want to have dinner together tonight? My friend opened a restaurant and we can go there to support them.”

The restaurant Stephen mentioned was in a business district. When Melanie got there, it was dinner time so it was very crowded.

She finally found a parking spot and got into the mall. Immediately, she saw Stephen waiting for her, When Stephen spotted her, he smiled. “It’s been a while, Mel.”
