The Unfaithful Mr. Scott ( Melanie Smith )
Chapter 476

Chapter 476 

While she was focused on comparing data, Xander knocked on the door and entered. This study was practically Melanie’s private space. Everyone had to knock before they entered. 

Melanie looked up. “What’s up?” 

Xander placed a small box in front of Melanie. “I went to see Cameron today. He asked me to give this to you.” 

Melanie paused. The box contained Blue Inc’s newest product series. She had casually mentioned her interest in it the last time she saw Cameron. 

“He’s quite considerate.” 

The moment she said that, a book was placed in front of her. Xander looked at her with a lowered gaze. “Stop looking at the computer. Come out for a break. Oliver and the others suggested going out for dinner tonight,” he said in a deep voice. 

Melanie readily agreed to the suggestion but proceeded to usher him out after that. “I still have to discuss matters with Carla next week. I need to finish this proposal.” 

Familiar with that tone, Xander’s brows furrowed imperceptibly before he left. 

While everything was peaceful on Melanie’s side, things were not going well elsewhere. 

Viola and Mason’s lunch had been an unpleasant affair, and to make matters worse, they encountered traffic on their way back to LeapCo. Mason had invited her out unplanned today, so Viola lied and said she had a client meeting in order to leave the office. 

As soon as she entered the company, she overheard discussions among her colleagues that Eugene’s grandfather was in the office. 

Viola was stunned. “Eugene’s grandfather is here?” 

Her recent reputation in the secretary’s office was not good. Her work was subpar, and her temper was not great either. She acted as though she was the boss‘ wife. She frequently arrived late and left early, often delegating her work to others. 

Yana glanced at her and commented somewhat sarcastically, “Why don’t you know that Mr. Scott’s grandfather is here? Thinking about it, it does look like the family prefers Melanie.” 

Yana was clearly trying to provoke Viola. However, the people around them were acting as if they did not hear anything. After all, Viola had not been in the secretary’s office for long, and no one had been forced to work overtime because of her. 

Viola naturally caught the sarcasm in Yana’s words, but she could not be bothered. In her mind, she was Eugene’s legitimate girlfriend, so she would eventually meet his grandfather. Besides, she might not be inferior to Melanie. 

When she went upstairs, Viola deliberately tidied up her appearance and went to the pantry to brew a cup of tea. She then entered Eugene’s office with it. 

Eugene was indeed not there as he had a social engagement in the afternoon. 

Putting on a sweet and understanding smile on her face, Viola adjusted her voice to be gentler. “Mr. Henry, I brewed you some tea.” 

Henry had been resting with his eyes closed, but when he heard her voice, he paused before opening his eyes. 

Viola froze in place immediately. When she entered, she saw Henry resting with his eyes closed, looking kind and benevolent. She assumed he would be a gentle and amiable old man. However, when he opened his eyes, there was no kindness in his eyes. Instead, they were sharp and piercing. 

Viola was momentarily at a loss for words. 

Leaning on his cane, Henry looked at her and asked, “Who are you?” 

Viola stammered, “I–I’m Mr. Scott’s secretary.” 

“Since you’re his secretary, why are you calling me Mr. Henry?” 

The old man, who had once led the Scott family to glory, had an imposing aura when serious. 

Viola felt uneasy under his gaze, and her palms were sweaty. “I–I’m also Eugene’s girlfriend,” she muttered. 

She thought that after saying that she was Eugene’s girlfriend, Henry’s attitude might soften a bit. Just as she was preparing to speak again with a more composed expression, she heard Henry say in a deep voice, “I’ll give you a million to leave Eugene.”
