Chapter 68
It took Melanie some time to regain her voice. “Eugene, are you targeting me?” she asked in a hoarse voice.
“You think too much. You’re more suitable for this job.” Eugene casually placed the items in his hands down, his dark eyes assessing Melanie. Creases formed on his forehead as he sneered and countered, “What? Am I interfering with your relationship with Stephen?”
Melanie looked at Eugene, her chest feeling tight and stifling. She had always thought Eugene treated her differently, but apparently, it was all the same.
It felt like her throat was tied, and after a moment of silence, Melanie slowly said, “Okay, I’ll go to Prime City.”
The mockery in Eugene’s eyes intensified. Raising a brow, he looked at Melanie’s painted lips and said with a hint of a sneer, “You can leave tomorrow morning.”
Melanie, however, tried to interrupt him by calling out his name. She looked into his stern eyes and sensed an inexplicable feeling of fatigue. She had been by Eugene’s side for so long, but perhaps it had been too long, so he had become weary of her.
“I won’t renew my contract when it expires.” She heard herself say this as if she were having an out–of–body experience.
Eugene’s gaze flickered. He looked at Melanie with slightly narrowed eyes. “Are you threatening me by negotiating conditions?” He growled, his expression darkening completely.
Melanie did not understand how he came to this conclusion. Was this not what he wanted?
She lowered her gaze and went silent while Eugene’s chilling voice continued, “Fine, as long as you don’t regret it.”
The news about Melanie being sent to the Prime City branch spread swiftly. Her colleagues would peek at her subtly. Yana was the only one who dared approach her to strike up a conversation. “Melanie, do you know how long Mr. Scott is sending you there?”
“I don’t,” Melanie replied truthfully, keeping her intention to resign a secret still.
That afternoon, Melanie packed her things and went to the nursing home. She decided she would visit her grandfather before leaving for Prime City.
He never brought up Eugene again after learning about Melanie’s breakup, but when he heard that Melanie was going to Prime City, he could not help but ask, “Did Eugene ask you to go?”
Melanie replied, “Yes, he told me to go solve some problems. I should be back soon.
