The Unfaithful Mr. Scott ( Melanie Smith ) -
Chapter 693
Chapter 693
When Melanie went back to the office after lunch, she bumped into Lee at the door of the conference room. He was carrying another takeout box.
Yvette laughed when she saw him. “Are you here to treat everyone to coffee on behalf of Mr. Scott again?”
Lee cleared his throat awkwardly. “The summit is about to end, so Mr. Scott just wanted to express his gratitude. He also hopes that LeapCo will have the opportunity to work with you again.”
Yvette wrinkled her nose in disgust. “Don’t clear your throat into the coffee!”
The truth was LeapCo’s employee benefits alone proved that Eugene was an understanding boss. At the very least, he earned his employees‘ loyalty.
Lee handed everyone in the conference room a cup of coffee, but he ran out when he reached Melanie. Instead, he leaned into her ear and said in a low voice, “Mr.
Scott said that he would treat you to a meal after the matter with is over. For
now, you two shouldn’t be seen together.”
He made it sound as if Eugene was worried about her.
Melanie paused. “No, that’s not necessary.”
Lee started to say something, then stopped. He stood beside Melanie, not moving
away.
Melanie could only look at him. “Do you have anything else to say?”
Lee held his tongue for a long moment before saying, “Mr. Scott says you can’t say no.”
Melanie’s face hardened instantly.
Yvette, who was watching from the side, could not stand it anymore. She slammed down the coffee in her hand in disdain and said exasperatedly, “What is Mr. Scott playing at? He treated us all to coffee but didn’t get one for Melanie. Instead, he’ll treat her to a meal with or without her consent?!
“Has he been watching too many millionaire soap operas?!”
Melanie was not too pleased, either. She placed her things on the table and looked directly at Lee. “Are you sure Eugene was the one who made you buy this coffee?”
She knew Eugene’s personality very well. He may treat his employees to coffee. but he would never make such special exceptions in public.
Chapter 693
He always kept work separate from his private life.
Even if he knew that Melanie was pregnant and could not have coffee, he would have treated everyone to a different drink instead.
Embarrassed, Lee looked at Melanie, not knowing how to explain. Even so, Melanie already understood.
She said calmly, “Please tell Henry not to do this again. He shouldn’t interfere too much in our private affairs.”
Lee still felt guilty when he arrived on the first floor. Henry had given him these explicit instructions when he found out about the current situation between Melanie and Eugene.
No matter how many times Lee refused, Henry insisted, saying that none of them understood Melanie the way he did-
Lee composed himself and entered the conference room on the first floor. He looked up to see Eugene sitting in his seat, looking at him impartially..
Lee’s heart tightened in his chest. He took a few steps forward and saw Eugene’s cold expression.
Before he could even speak, Eugene said flatly, “You’re embarrassing yourself.” Lee fell silent.
As he tried to defend himself, another familiar spoke up. “Hello, Eugene.” Lee immediately hid the expression on his face and turned to look at Viola.
On the other hand, Viola only had eyes for Eugene. She gritted her teeth and forced a barely–decent smile. “Eugene, I need to talk to you alone about something. It has to do with Rockwater.”
