LeapCo was very generous with employee benefits, offering substantial commissions for signing a deal. Melanie thought that by letting her plan the project, Eugene was indicating that she was in charge of it.

She went looking for Eugene the moment she was done with the planning.

“Can we arrange to meet with Oceanus Industries next Tuesday?” she asked.

Eugene was looking through the proposal as he replied coldly, “I have plans on Tuesday,”

Melanie frowned. “What plans?”
