The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 147

Eugene’s tone was a drawl, his gaze fixed on Melanie.

Melanie’s hand paused. “What do you want?”

Eugene’s eyelids drooped. He casually picked up the teacup in front of him and played with it. “Since you have the time to join your friend for a meal, does it mean your work here is almost done?”

Melanie frowned slightly. Just as she was about to say something, Xander spoke up from next to her.

“You’re pretty strict on your employees, Mr. Scott. You won’t even let them eat a meal in peace. As expected of LeapCo.”

His tone was indifferent. It sounded like a casual conversation, but he was implicitly calling Eugene a busybody.

Melanie was a little surprised. She had always thought that Xander had a good temper, and this was her first time hearing him give a veiled insult like that.

Eugene’s gaze turned to Xander. “You’re not that much better.”

His tone was dripping with sarcasm, implying that Xander was being nosy.
