Chapter 43
Eugene had Viola now, and it seemed everything had changed.
Melanie froze upon hearing Eugene’s name but quickly hid her flustered emotions.
She wasn’t sure she was telling Stephen or comforting herself, but she said, “I don’t own him. We’re adults who just benefited from each other.”
“Mel.” Stephen frowned.
“Instead of worrying about me, why don’t you find me a new boyfriend?” said Melanie monotonously.
It was a difficult request as Melanie had been with Eugene for so long. Those people from decent families would not want a girlfriend like her.
It was no different from dating a divorced woman.
Sighing, Stephen decided to end this topic. He asked Melanie, “Has your leg recovered?”
“Almost.”
“Can you attend a banquet with me this weekend?”
Stephen seemed to be in a dilemma. “It’s my aunt’s birthday, and she wants me to bring along a female partner.
Melanie knew Stephen’s aunt, who was a famous dancer in Jepton.
That night, she got dressed and waited for Stephen to pick her up.
However, at 6:00 pm, Stephen called her and told her he would not be able to pick her up. She might have to take a taxi to the venue herself.
Melanie did not mind and went downstairs to hail a taxi.
However, it was a weekend night, and the traffic was heavy. When Melanie arrived, the
banquet had already started.
Melanie tried calling Stephen, but she could not reach him. She texted him, telling him that she would be waiting for him outside.
“Eugene, I heard your company organized a team–building event at a spa resort.” Melanie was scrolling through her phone when she heard Simon’s voice from afar.
Melanie froze for a moment before lifting her head. As expected, she saw Simon and Eugene.
When Simon saw her at the door, he lifted his eyebrow. “Hey, are you working as a bellboy
here?”
Melanie greeted him. He walked over helplessly while pointing at the few kids in the corner. They were asking me to play with them. I’m sorry for keeping you waiting, Mel.”
