Chapter 254

Melanie seemed a little absent–minded lately.

Eugene continued, “There are only eight days before you resign. LeapCo can wait.

“Or… is it because you lack money that you even need to sell yourself?” Eugene leaned against the chair as he observed Melanie mockingly. “Why don’t you look for Simon? He’s a playboy. I’m sure you can sell yourself at a good price to him.”

His words slapped her on her face. It hurt, but she could not retort.

Melanie felt she had brought this upon herself, so she could not blame others for it.

She closed her eyes and exhaled. “So, you’ve already decided?”

Eugene looked at her. “Why? Are you disappointed?”

Just as he spoke, Melanie’s phone rang. She answered immediately because she was afraid it was a call from the hospital.

However, Dylan’s timid voice sounded. She had always put on this act when she needed something from Melanie.

“Mel, are you free today? If you are, I’ll meet you. Is there anything you feel like eating? I can buy it for you.

“”

Back then, Melanie would be touched by Dylan’s words.

However, all she felt right now was disgust and annoyance.

Dylan was good at putting on an act.

Melanie was also a liar, and she was good at deceiving herself. That was why she could be so dumb and believe Dylan for so long.

Clenching the phone, she said in a cold voice, “I’ll give you what you deserve.”

Melanie hung up the call after snapping at her.

Eugene looked straight at her as he scoffed. “No wonder you’re so desperate to sell yourself.”

He did not intend to hide his sarcasm.

When Melanie left the office, her expression was straight, as if she was already used to it.

Viola called her name, but Melanie did not seem to hear her and she left the office right away.

When Viola saw her leaving, she lowered her eyelids to hide her emotions. Then, she changed her tone before lamenting, “Poor Melanie. If I had a mother like hers, I might not have the courage to live.”

Julie happened to pass by and heard her mutter. Smiling, she said, “Miss Shaw, didn’t you insist on learning in the secretary’s office? Why are you back as soon as Melanie is resigning? You’re quite sensible, aren’t you?”

Viola’s face turned pale, yet she braced herself and said, “Julie, what are you talking about? I’m just concerned about Melanie. I think Melanie might be having a difficult time. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have suggested that in the meeting.”

Julie scoffed. “Even if Melanie is having a difficult time, it has nothing to do with you. Don’t worry. She won’t borrow money from you even if she has to sell her house.”

Julie despised Viola’s pretentious remarks and sounded sarcastic when she retorted to Viola.

Lee, who had not joined the conversation, suddenly said, “Melanie can’t sell her house. Mr. Scott bought it.”
