Chapter 70
Melanie remained composed, not responding to Viola’s words. She looked at Eugene and asked, “When are we leaving?”
Viola had tagged along with Eugene for a vacation. Eugene would not involve her in work matters but was willing to accompany her during their leisure time.
Eugene pampered Viola and was willing to spend time with her. As someone who was working for him, Melanie had no grounds to say anything about it. She would just focus on doing her job.
Viola wanted to have lunch near a scenic area, and Eugene agreed with her. Melanie went ahead and started the car.
As soon as Viola got into the car, she snuggled into Eugene’s arms and complained softly about how he had gone out in the morning without her. Eugene comforted her calmly, saying, “It’s rare that you get a day off. You should get some more sleep.”
Though his tone was not exactly gentle, there was a touch of consideration.
Melanie tried concentrating on handling the vehicle, but without a partition in the car, she could still hear Viola’s coquettish words.
They had arrived, but the restaurant was located quite far from the parking area due to it being in a scenic spot. Viola was afraid they might lose their reservation since they were late.
She dragged Eugene along while saying to Melanie, “Melanie, Eugene and I will go ahead to secure our seats. Can you park the car and join us later?”
Melanie was not oblivious. After she parked the car, she decided to have lunch at a different
restaurant.
She received no communication from Viola and Eugene even after she was done with her meal. With some free time on her hands, she took out her phone and started browsing through it.
With her work account still active on WhatsApp, Melanie tapped into the Status section and happened upon a nine–grid photo that Viola had posted about her lunch with Eugene.
Melanie noticed that the table reservation and the dishes were all for two people. It was then she realized that they had completely disregarded her.
