The Unfaithful Mr. Scott (Melanie and Eugene) novel Chapter 420

Chapter 420 

Melanie glanced into the car casually and overheard Viola’s charming voice. “Eugene, you’re hurting me.” 

She was pressed against Eugene, her head resting on his chest. Her hands were holding Eugene’s wrist. If it were not for the inappropriate time and place, it might have been an image of affection. 

Sensing Melanie’s gaze, Viola looked up at her a bit awkwardly and said, “My hair got caught on Eugene’s clothes.” 

There was a smile in her eyes that made it unclear if the embarrassment was genuine or feigned. 

Melanie had no interest in observing how Viola’s hair was entangled with Eugene’s clothes and just turned her head to the other side. 

After fussing about inside the car for a bit, Eugene and Viola finally got out. Viola’s face was a little flushed as she tightly held onto Eugene’s arm. Clearing her throat, she said, “Sorry, Eugene was worried about pulling my hair, so he took it slow.” 

The branch office was not as impressive as LeapCo’s headquarters, and the building looked quite old. Still holding onto Eugene’s hand, Viola suddenly asked, “Eugene, what if those people outside suddenly rush in?” 

The question sounded somewhat naive, and Eugene replied in a calm voice, “They won’t.” 

Viola persisted. “I’m just saying, what if.” 

“There’s no such possibility.” 

Despite the seriousness of Eugene’s response, Viola was dissatisfied. She turned to look at Melanie with a somewhat helpless expression. “Melanie, I really don’t know how you put up with him before.” 

Melanie was caught off guard at being brought into the conversation and instinctively frowned. 

Before she could say anything, she heard Viola answer herself, “Fortunately, you were just his secretary. If you were his girlfriend, you’d probably be driven crazy by his straightforward way of thinking.” 

Melanie’s steps paused. While Viola complained, her tone indicated a sense of joy. Melanie’s gaze shifted. 

No wonder Viola had dragged her into the conversation. She wanted to take the opportunity to remind Melanie that even in the past, she was only Eugene’s secretary and nothing more. 

Looking up, Melanie saw Viola holding Eugene’s arm. She withdrew her gaze and nonchalantly took a few steps back. 

There was no particular reason for this reaction. She just found it all uninteresting. She was not Stella. She did not need Viola to report her love for Eugene to her all the time. 

After gaining a rough understanding of the situation at the branch office, they were about to take their leave when Melanie just stood where she was. “I’m going to the hospital, so I won’t 

be going with you.” 

Although Peachie was not directly related to Melanie, she was, after all, just a young child. 

Unexpectedly, Viola immediately piped up and said, “I’ll go with you. You mentioned Peachie misses me, right?”
