The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 167

Melanie had underestimated Viola. During the late afternoon break, Viola appeared at the office door again, holding a notebook in her hand. Her eyes were still red, clearly indicating she had been crying.

Standing in front of Melanie, her voice sounded nasally and muffled as she said, “Melanie, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have spoken like that at lunch.”

Melanie furrowed her brows and looked up at Viola. She seemed sincere. “I won’t do that again. I just wanted to understand the chairman’s preferences to avoid mistakes in the future,”

Her explanation seemed reasonable, and her attitude was right. Moreover, it was break time now. Most people were still in the office, making it awkward for Melanie to say anything more. She nodded and took Viola to the outdoor balcony.

Viola listened attentively, and Melanie remained indifferent. What else could her reaction be? It was nothing more than the preferences of the chairman’s parents which had taken her a long time to piece together. Viola was learning it all in one go.

Melanie found it somewhat relaxing, however, which was not bad.

Melanie made the last point, checked her phone, and said, “It’s time to get back to work.”

“Melanie,” Viola called out, hands gripped around the notebook. She continued gently, “You…”
