Word quickly got out that Eugene and Viola had quarreled over Melanie

After all, Viola did not look happy when she returned to the secretary’s office

Most people were happy to watch her suffer. The looks they gave her infuriated and hurt Viola 

even more

Eugene had been so protective of Melanie,’ she thought. Mason must be right! Something was going on between them.‘ 

Viola’s thoughts ran wild, and she became even more flustered and depressed. She could barely hold back the tears in her eyes when the phone on her table suddenly rang

It was a message from Mason. [Viola, do you want to have lunch together? My friend owns a nice restaurant downtown. I want you to try it.

Hesitation flashed across Viola’s eyes for just a second. [Okay.

Yana gossiped about everything on the grapevine, so even if Melanie did not pay special attention to the happenings at LeapCo, she still received updates on Eugene and Viola every day

They were giving each other the cold shoulder, that was all. Eugene went straight to Oskon City for a business trip, and Viola moped every day. She was late to work and left early more often

Yana sent another message. [I really can’t stand her attitude! She comes and goes as she pleases, but the last time Whitney said she saw her watching a movie with another guy. Intriguing, isn’t it?

Melanie looked at the messages and replied shortly before turning back to her work

Henry had called her in the morning and reminded her to join him early that night

The Scotts had especially thrown a birthday party for Henry, so Melanie had expected it to be grand. Contrary to her expectations, however, Cedric had only invited a few close family friends

The birthday banquet was held in Mistyard, a classic Victorian mansion with a gorgeous garden

However, autumn was approaching, so it was getting cold out

Melanie arrived at Mistyard with Stephen. The Yorks had always been on good terms with the 

Scotts

Henry was already waiting at the door with Landon. When he saw Melanie and Stephen, he frowned slightly. Mel, why are you so late? Those monkeys have practically stolen all the goodies I was saving for you.” 

He stepped forward and pushed Stephen away without batting an eyelid. Then, he held Melanie’s arm and muttered under his breath, I’ve been waiting for you. I was afraid that you wouldn’t come.” 

Henry’s childish actions made Melanie laugh. She and Stephen looked at each other, and the 

latter shook his head helplessly

Stephen then handed Henry the present he had prepared. Mr. Henry, my parents have to attend a meeting at the last minute, so I’m the only one who could come. Happy birthday.” 

Henry smiled. I haven’t seen you in years. You’ve gotten more sensible.” 

Melanie also took the opportunity to pass her gift to Henry. Many happy returns, Mr. Henry.” 

I’m happy as long as you’re here. You didn’t have to prepare a gift!Henry was in a good mood today. He pulled Melanie inside and said, I told Eugene that we’ll take a family photo tonight. Just indulge me, okay?”
