Chapter 65
LeapCo was very generous with employee benefits, offering substantial commissions for signing a deal. Melanie thought that by letting her plan the project, Eugene was indicating that she was in charge of it.
She went looking for Eugene the moment she was done with the planning.
“Can we arrange to meet with Oceanus Industries next Tuesday?” she asked.
Eugene was looking through the proposal as he replied coldly, “I have plans on Tuesday,”
Melanie frowned. “What plans?”
“Viola is going back to school,” Eugene answered succinctly.
Clearly, he hoped that Viola would be there every step of the way for the collaboration with Oceanus Industries. Melanie paused for a moment but then pretended to be indifferent. “Her name is already in the proposal. It makes no difference if she’s there or not.”
Eugene’s fingers stilled in the midst of flipping through the papers. Brows furrowed slightly, he looked at Melanie slowly. There was no emotion in his deep, dark eyes. “Your participation in this matter with Oceanus Industries ends here. You don’t need to be involved any further.”
It took a while for Melanie to understand what he was saying, and when she did, her heart sank. She looked at Eugene with disbelief and asked, “What do you mean?”
“It doesn’t matter if you go or not,” Eugene replied. He lowered his gaze and placed the documents back on the table.
Melanie stared at him, her fingertips trembling. “Who else will go if not me?”
Eugene paused before replying slowly, “I’ll make arrangements.”
Hands clenched tightly into fists, Melanie retorted with a tremble in her voice, “Your arrangement is to just push me aside?”
“It’s the company’s arrangement,” Eugene responded indifferently.
Melanie laughed bitterly. In the end, she was disposable in Eugene’s eyes.
Monday arrived, and Eugene took Viola to Oceanus Industries. Viola could hardly conceal the joy on her face when they returned.
