Chapter 53
He spoke as he flipped through the document Melanie brought. Then, he threw it at a corner of the table. “So, you don’t deserve to be treated differently.”
Melanie had been eating in the company’s canteen with Yana and would go for the cheapest set meal. LeapCo had a proper canteen, and the welfare of their employees was reasonably good.
Yana was curious. “Melanie, why have you been eating at the canteen recently?”
Before Melanie could answer her, Yana responded to her own question, “Oh, I understand. Is it because of the penalty issue?”
Melanie grunted in response to her question.
Not only did Yana feel that it was unjust for Melanie, but even others working in the same department felt the same way.
However, they dared not ask Melanie and only talked about it behind her back.
Melanie happened to hear the gossip about her when she was about to walk out of the toilet cubicle. Stunned, she stopped in her action of opening the door.
“If I were Melanie, I’d be so angry. She has to get three months of salary deducted when it’s not her fault at all. If I were her, I would’ve resigned. Melanie is capable and can get a job. anywhere easily.”
“She can’t resign. Melanie seems to have signed a labor contract with LeapCo,” said another
woman.
Only when the voices faded did Melanie walk out.
She had indeed signed a labor contract with LeapCo, and Cedric was the one who made her sign it.
On Friday, Melanie went to the nursing home, paid the fee for the next term, and transferred Peachie’s medical expenses for the month to Dylan.
When she left the nursing home, her grandfather stuffed a bank card into her palm.
Melanie’s forehead creased. “Why are you giving me this?”
“I can’t let you bear all of Peachie’s medical expenses. I’m her grandfather, after all.” The old man sighed. “There isn’t much money in it. Maybe it’ll only be enough for a few months‘ worth of medical fees.”
When Melanie returned home, she saw Eugene, who seemed to be going out.
The next day, Melanie waited for Eugene at home until 5:30 pm, but she did not see him. Thus, she drove to Jepton Hotel herself.
