THE UNFAITHFUL MR. SCOTT NOVEL (EUGENE AND MELANIE) - Season 3 Episode 8

However, just as she suggested, Eugene rejected lazily, “No need. I’m just here to watch.”

“Melanie, you said I wasn’t a capable secretary this morning. So, Mr. Scott brought me here to learn

from you. Don’t worry. Mr. Scott won’t blame you for it.”

No one knew if that was a response to the seat arrangements or Melanie’s reprimand from this

morning. The meaning of her words was vague.

Melanie pursed her lips without reacting.

Tina was good at mocking. She tugged on Melanie’s shirt and smiled as she said, “The interview is

starting soon. Show them your capability as the head secretary of the company and interview those

newbies.”

Since Melanie left the CEO’s office, Eugene had not promoted anyone to that position.

Viola could not help herself from glancing at Melanie upon hearing this.

She had mentioned this to Eugene, but Eugene did not give her an answer.

As a result, everyone in LeapCo still took Melanie as the head secretary.

Viola and Julie had gone to the finance department once and learned by chance that Melanie’s salary

was paid according to the head secretary’s position.

Just as Viola was letting her thoughts run wild, the interview began.

Melanie got into her work mode and read through the interns‘ resumes.

However, none of them fit her requirements.

Only when they were interviewing the last two groups did she put down her pen and exhale tiredly.

Viola had left ten minutes ago because she had something to deal with, but Eugene was still here.

Her movement was big when she put down her pen. She accidentally elbowed Eugene’s elbow.

Melanie froze. “I’m sorry. It was an accident.”

The new group of interns had not entered. Tina and the other staff had gone to the restroom. Eugene

glanced at her. “You’re indeed quite picky at times like this.”

Melanie knew he was being sarcastic again and said, after pondering, “If there’s any intern you’re

satisfied with, we can call them back for a second interview.”

Eugene tapped on the table and asked Melanie, “Do you still remember when you first worked in

LeapCo?”

When Melanie started working at LeapCo, she was only a second–year university student. Eugene

gave her the job and trained her from the basics.

“You were worse than them back then,” said Eugene with a scoff, snapping her out of her thoughts.

Melanie’s grip on the document tightened. Her voice was calm. “What do you mean by this?”

Eugene showed no emotions when he said, “Since you despise Viola’s ability, why don’t you teach her

so that she can take over your place?”

Melanie took a deep breath. “I can’t teach her.”

“That’s your problem.”

After calming herself down, Melanie said, “I don’t want to teach her.”

“Well, then. If you don’t want to teach her, find someone to take over your work.” Eugene scoffed as he

looked at Melanie and knocked on the table.

Melanie said nothing. She was certain Eugene knew that her relationship with Viola was quite bad.

However, Eugene stood up and looked at her from above oppressively.

His voice was indifferent. “This is your last assignment in LeapCo. You can get lost after you hand over

your job to someone capable.”

He left the conference room after ordering, leaving Melanie troubled.
