Chapter 104
Eugene looked at her right hand but quickly retracted his gaze from it. He showed no expression. “I’ll give you three minutes to get ready and meet the client with me.”
Melanie looked at Viola and asked Eugene, “Aren’t you taking her instead?”
Everyone had heard what Evelyn said in the conference room, but Melanie felt Eugene would
not care.
Viola was still by Eugene’s side, yet her eyes were not as red as in the morning. She looked less aggrieved.
She was back to her usually gentle self. “Melanie, I know I’m incapable, and Eugene said I should learn more from you.”
Viola sounded obedient, but she forgot to hide the reluctant look in her eyes. Melanie would have believed her if she had not noticed that.
“We have to get Peyton to sign the contract.” The pouring rain in Prime City came and went quickly.
Eugene’s cold voice sounded as the last bit of rain poured. “Melanie, this is what you should do.”
Peyton had a smooth business trip and was back earlier than expected.
When Melanie and the other two arrived, Evelyn was talking to Peyton.
Viola was beside Eugene. After the lesson that morning, she did not dare to say a word
anymore.
When they took their seats, she habitually wanted to sit beside Eugene. However, before she could sit, Evelyn asked, “What foundation do you use, Miss Shaw? Your eyes were so red this morning, yet you look just fine now.”
Viola froze and squeezed a smile as she said, “Miss Shue, you’re good at cracking jokes.”
“Cracking jokes?” Evelyn’s contempt for her was obvious. She regarded Viola meaningfully and asked, “What makes you think we’re close enough for me to be joking with you?”
Viola’s face flushed red before turning pale. Embarrassed, she looked at Eugene with a pleading gaze.
Eugene lifted his head, and his cold gaze fell on Evelyn. Evelyn’s arrogant smirk froze.
