The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

Melanie froze but quickly recovered. First, she avoided Eugene’s gaze and hid to the side. She waited for him to leave after losing his temper.

However, he did not turn away from her. After a while, he said stoically, “Get out of LeapCo if you don’t want to work here.” Yana was in a panic as she quickly lowered her head to apologize, “I’m sorry, Mr. Scott.”

She strode off after that and quickly went back into the office.

Melanie lowered her eyes. She had made a mistake. Eugene was looking at Yana, not her.

While she was thinking about this, Eugene spoke up again, “When did the secretary's office allow unauthorized personnel to come and go as they please?”

This time, he was talking about Melanie. Hannah explained awkwardly, “Melanie made an appointment with us, Mr. Scott. She’s here to settle some work at LeapCo.”NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“Settle some work?” Eugene’s voice was cold. His deep, dark eyes looked at Melanie again. ” You have a lot of things to settle, don’t you?”

Melanie was very calm. “I’m here of my own accord to find a way to work together.”

Lee led Melanie to the CEO's office. He was warm as usual. “Wait here a while. Mr. Scott will be right over once he’s done with his work.”

Melanie looked a little grim. She had just mentioned that she was looking for a way to work together when Eugene instructed Lee to bring her to the office.

Eugene arrived very soon. There was a frosty look on his face. He must have lost his temper downstairs not too long ago.

Melanie stood where she was. This still did not feel real to her. The only thing left for her to do was to take out the documents from her bag and hand them over to Eugene.

“I'm representing Burning Star Studio today. | hope LeapCo can consider us as a potential partner to work with and prioritize us with the latest information you have for the exhibition.”

The moment she said this, Eugene flung the documents back to Melanie without looking at them. “Impossible.” Melanie said in a low voice, “Our reputation and capability are as good as Dreamcatchers’.”

“So what if they are?” Eugene fiddled with a pen in his hand. She could not tell what was going through his mind while looking into his deep, dark eyes. The only thing that reflected on them was her own blurred figure.

Melanie was taken aback. “If you compare our statistics, you’ll see for yourself that Burning Star is the better company to invest

in.

The look on Eugene’s face did not change. He was still calm and composed. “It’s just an exhibition. It won't bring too much benefit to LeapCo. What’s there for us to compare?”

He paused before bursting out with a laugh. He looked at Melanie purposefully. “Have you lost

your sense of judgment after leaving LeapCo?”

Eugene was very clear with his attitude. Melanie knew it would be difficult to get him to agree no matter what she said. However, this proposal was very important. It was not only important for Xander and the others, but for her as well. Her name was on the proposal, and she wanted only good things to happen to this project.

Melanie had gotten into this industry without a background, and her designing skills were miles away from others. The only way she could help was by contributing what she was best at. That was the only way she could maintain her standing in the company.

Melanie took a deep breath to calm herself down before saying, “What can | do for you to agree to work with Burning Star?” Eugene did not answer immediately. He stared at Melanie with his cold gaze for quite a while before he lowered his eyes. “Are you negotiating with me again?”

There was not much change in Eugene’s emotions. He picked up the documents he had flung at Melanie and flipped casually through them before throwing them to the side again.

The look in his eyes was unfathomable like an eerily silent lake.
