The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 88

Ten minutes passed, and there was no reply from Eugene.

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?”

It was even more difficult for her to sit out of this now that Walden had invited her along. Melanie nodded and left with Walden to Sundale.

Sundale was not far from where they were. It took only 20 minutes to get there. Walden cautiously chatted about matters at the branch office with her along the way. It looked like he was trying to sound her out on what Eugene was planning.

Melanie remained impassive. “Mr. Scott will take care of the branch office personally now that he’s at Prime City. You don’t need to worry about anything, Walden.”
