Chapter 105
Awkwardness filled the air. Viola bit her lip and did not dare to lift her head. She knew Peyton was an important client of the branch company in Prime City, and Eugene came personally to get the contract signed.
Eugene seemed to be pondering something. A smirk appeared on Evelyn’s face. Her mockery was obvious as she looked at Viola and asked, “Miss Shaw, do you have anything to say?”
“I…” Viola looked at Eugene with a pitiful and aggrieved gaze. Eugene lifted his head and looked at Evelyn, who had a smug smile on her face. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a
clear voice.
Melanie stood up with a smile and lifted the wine glass before her. Looking at Viola, she said, Ms. Taylor, Viola is my assistant. She’s indeed an intern. But because my hand was injured upon coming to Prime City, I asked her to help me.
Her genuine smile never faded as she spoke with sincerity, “If there’s anything we’ve done that might have offended you and Miss Shue, let me apologize to you on behalf of my assistant.”
After Melanie spoke, she finished the glass of wine.
Peyton’s perception of Melanie seemed to have changed as her gaze revealed a tint of other emotion, but it faded quickly. It was almost unnoticeable.
LeapCo was indeed the best business partner she could get. Thus, she accepted Melanie’s apology with a slight nod. She signaled to get on with business.
Before everyone started talking about business, Viola glanced at Melanie for a second before retracting her gaze. She was clenching the hem of her shirt.
Melanie put down the empty glass and happened to see Viola’s gaze. She said calmly, “Viola, go get some wine from outside.”
Viola froze. There was no wine outside. Melanie was just trying to get her to leave.
Clenching her teeth, she did not answer.
However, Eugene looked at her and said, “Be good. Go out first.”
Viola was startled this time, and even Melanie could not believe her ears as she glanced at
them.
