Chapter 36
Eugene helped Melanie into her house. Soon after, his phone rang.
Viola asked him when he would be there, as he had promised to accompany her later. After hanging up the phone, Eugene wanted to leave, but Melanie held his fingers. Melanie sat obediently on the sofa, holding his hand. She drank a lot, so she smelled of alcohol, and her eyes were bloodshot.
Eugene paused. Melanie wrapped her hand around his wrist, raised her head, and said in a hoarse voice, “Eugene, you haven’t come to see me for a long time.”
After she finished speaking, she stood up, hooked her arms around Eugene’s neck, and kissed his lips.
When Melanie woke up the next day, her whole body ached.
She rubbed her temples and went to the bathroom. When she stood in front of the full–length mirror in the bathroom and saw the mottled marks on her body, she knew that last night was not a dream.
However, Eugene was very careful this time to not leave any marks on her neck.
That was probably because he was afraid that Viola would become suspicious.
The news of Melanie messing up the company’s five–million–dollar deal quickly spread in the office.
Julie took advantage of this opportunity to make some snide remarks at Melanie.
Viola did not mock Melanie this time. Instead, Melanie heard that Viola quarreled with Eugene again.
Melanie rarely met Viola in the staff cafeteria aside from the beginning, when Viola first joined the company. After that, Viola always went out for lunch with Eugene.
Viola was walking with a tray in hand next to Julie. She was stunned for a moment when she saw Melanie.
Melanie did not have a good relationship with Viola, so she turned around and left. However, Viola followed Melanie, sat across from her, and asked hesitantly, “Melanie, do you know where Eugene was last night?”
Viola was testing the waters.
Melanie paused for a moment before she said calmly, “You don’t know where he went?”
