She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 115

Melanie didn't get back to the Hale Health Center until near the end of the workday.

"Melanie, how did the meeting at Novarison go? Any progress on the project?"

She was called into Dominic's office as soon as she returned.

"No progress."

Melanie told him the truth.

Just as Dominic was about to ask more, a call came in. It was a business call.

While Dominic was on the phone, Melanie initially stayed, but as he continued to talk, a look of disappointment in her gradually appeared in his eyes.

Melanie saw it…

Pretending not to notice, she casually walked out of Dominic's office.

No sooner had she left than Evelyn walked in.

"Dominic, what are you sighing about?"

Dominic hung up and told Evelyn everything.

"What? Melanie actually left everyone in the conference room hanging?"

Evelyn feigned surprise.

In reality, she already knew that Melanie hadn't attended Fiona's meeting.

It was she who had timed it perfectly, having Fiona call Dominic to complain about Melanie.

"Dominic…"

Evelyn pressed herself against him, her curves molding to his arm in a practiced, provocative move.

Although Dominic's office had frosted glass walls, there was still a risk that someone could see Evelyn's actions.

Dominic hesitated but ultimately didn't tell Evelyn to behave herself, nor did he move his arm away.

Evelyn's lips, coated in a bubblegum pink gloss, curved into a confident smile.

Melanie, besides your family background, what do you have that I don't?

As she thought this, she said to Dominic:

"I don't think Melanie has any intention of working on this project properly. Why else would she pretend to go to a meeting, only to show her face and leave? That's just a waste of company resources! It leaves a bad impression on our partners, too."

Evelyn skillfully loosened Dominic's tie and undid his shirt buttons, one by one.

The blinds in the office weren't drawn, and through the frosted glass, two overlapping figures could be vaguely seen.

But it was impossible to see exactly what they were doing.

Once the heat of the moment faded, Evelyn straightened her skirt and stood up.

"So, Dominic, it's settled. You'll promote me to marketing manager next month."

"Don't worry. When have I ever broken a promise to you?"

Dominic promised, looking completely satisfied.

Evelyn was thrilled.

She refused to be outranked by Melanie in family status and also be outranked by her at the company.

"And Melanie's project manager position…?" Evelyn looked at Dominic with wide, expectant eyes.

She had pleased him so well; surely Dominic would listen to her and get rid of Melanie's position.
