The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 88

Melanie got up to inform the front desk that she would be leaving.

Before she walked away, she saw Walden running toward her in a hurry. He was taken aback to see Melanie. “What are you still doing here, Miss Smith?”

Walden had come back to the office because he had forgotten something. It did not seem like Melanie could leave now. She asked, “Where is Mr. Scott and the others?”

“They’re at Sundale.” He thought Melanie had stayed back at the branch office for work. He asked, “I’m heading over right now. Are you coming with me, Miss Smith?”
