The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 73

Melanie’s expression was unpleasant as she hung up the phone. She could not shake the feeling that Dylan’s situation was more complicated than it seemed. However, she could not leave Prime City.

In the evening, just after finishing dinner, Melanie received a call from Eugene. He asked her to come and pick him up. When she arrived, she pushed open the door to the private room and found only Eugene and Evelyn inside.

Evelyn was sitting across from Eugene. When she saw Melanie entering, she stood up to assist Eugene. Eugene rubbed his forehead and extended his hand toward Melanie, saying, “Come over.”

Seeing Melanie moving to help Eugene, Evelyn also tried to approach him. However, Melanie, noticing Eugene’s gesture, calmly said, “Miss Shue, it’s quite late now. It would be better for you to go back. I’ll take care of things with Eugene here.”

Evelyn did not look pleased having been obstructed. Melanie just helped Eugene, who smelled of alcohol, into the car. He opened the window to let some fresh air in.

“You made me the bad guy by not rejecting Miss Shue yourself,” Melanie said while handing him a bottle of water from her bag. This was a habit they had developed over the years.

Whenever Eugene needed her to pick him up after a social event, she would carry a bottle of water with her. She had also become adept at understanding his subtle hints in rejecting people.
