The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

Chapter 47 1/2 “Aren't you his secretary?”

“I'm not working in the president's office anymore,” Melanie sounded calm. She looked at the coffee in front of Stella and frowned as she approached it. “I'll get you a cup of black tea.”

Stella did not like drinking coffee. She snorted as she said, “As expected from a poor girl who can’t even present herself well.”

No one knew who she was referring to, Melanie or Viola. However, Melanie was used to it and expressionlessly served her a cup of black tea.

Viola’s eyes grew redder, and tears rolled in them. She bit her lower lip, making her look pitiful.

Stella was apparently in a bad mood that day. She sipped the black tea before placing the cup back on the coffee table. Then, she said sarcastically, “Eugene’s taste is as bad as it has always been.”

Melanie did not stay there for long. After all, it was not her job to deal with Stella anymore.

However, just as she headed downstairs, she heard someone gossiping. “Looks like marrying into a rich family isn’t easy. Look at how Viola is being reprimanded and despised by Mr. Scott's mother!”

Stella was indeed picky. Even Melanie had failed to win her heart after so many years. It made her wonder how much Eugene would dote on Viola.

When Eugene returned, Stella had already left. When she returned to her office, the employee who had gone upstairs to send some documents was gossiping.

She told them Viola started complaining about her misery as soon as she saw Eugene. Melanie did not listen to their gossip or join in the conversation.

Yana was curious and asked, “How did Mr. Scott react?”

“What else could Mr. Scott do? He could only coax her.”

Eugene had feelings for her, after all.

Melanie did not expect Stephen to pick her up from work.

He was already waiting at the door when she got off work. He waved at her.

“Why are you looking for me?” Melanie walked over to him.

Stephen said, “Do | need a reason to look for you?”

He chuckled after saying that. Then, he took out a small box. “I forgot to give you this. This and the one | gave you the last time is a pair. Please take it. This figurine looked lonely when | saw it at home. So, | brought it here to give it to you.

“It's better for a couple to be together.”

This time, the heart in the figurine’s hands was blue. The one Stephen gave her before this Chapter 47

had a pink heart in her hands. They were indeed a pair.

Melanie took it curiously. “Do you like making clay art?”

“My grandfather likes it. | learned the craft from him when | was a kid. There’s a clay art exhibition tonight. We can go if you are interested,” said Stephen.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Melanie had nothing on that night. Just as she was about to agree, she saw Eugene and Viola walking out of the building. Viola’s eyes were still red as she held Eugene’s arm. She looked like an aggrieved kitten.

Melanie immediately looked away from them. She had thought that her colleagues were exaggerating when she heard them gossip that afternoon, yet she realized it was not the case at all.

Stephen had to greet Eugene, and Eugene’s gaze looked calm when he glanced over at them. Melanie did not feel much being seen by him.

Only Viola’s grip on Eugene’s arm tightened a little. She urged Eugene, “Come on, Eugene. We will be late.”

Eugene nodded and headed toward his car.

Looking away, Melanie asked Stephen, “Didn’t you suggest going to the exhibition? We'll be late if we don’t leave now.” Stephen was startled and opened the door for her. Smiling, he said, “I thought you wouldn’t be interested.”

“Why wouldn't I? The clay art you made is pretty, and | like it,” said Melanie after a pause.
