The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 243 Are You Going to Keep Lying?

Barney called out to her, “Is it true that my father’s company is collaborating with your company, Ms. Mala? He talks about you all the time. I’m sure we’ll run into each other again at The Heazon Awards next month. Please say a good word or two about me to my father.”

Maia glanced at the man before her. She thought he was tough at first. Little did she know that he was just another boy desperate for his father’s validation.

“I’ll pretend I didn’t see anything tonight as long as you treat the ladies nicely, Barney. I was

never here and we never met.”

He nodded and thanked her. “Splendid, Ms. Maia. I like how you cut to the chase.”

Then, Maia went further in to look for Penelope.

He stared at her as she left. The smile on his face had all but vanished.

“I would’ve taught you a lesson in the private room if it weren’t for the collaboration.” He wiped the wine from his face. “How dare you pour wine on me,

bitch?”

Buck followed Maia and asked, “Do you truly believe he’ll treat ladies nicely, Ms. Maia? He doesn’t seem the type.

“He’s a playboy. He’s the same type as the bunch of guys I ran into at La Rouquette. What makes you think I’d believe the words of a miscreant?”

“Are you not going to make good use of the opportunity when you meet the Young Globaltainment Co.’s CEO?”

“I promised him I won’t say anything to his father and I intend to keep my word. However, I didn’t say anything about his father finding it out from someone else.”

Buck chuckled, “Guys like Barney deserve to be taught a lesson. You go, Ms. Maia!”

A lady exited one of the private rooms with a cart, crying.

“That’s her, Ms. Maia! That’s Penelope!”

Maia approached her quickly. Penelope had her head lowered and asked respectfully, “Do you want something to drink? I’ve got some of the best stuff…”

Naturally, she was a little disappointed when she heard Penelope had not gotten her one.
