THE UNFAITHFUL MR. SCOTT NOVEL (EUGENE AND MELANIE) - Season 3 Episode 97

When they came out of the restaurant, the rain had eased off slightly.

“Does your hand still hurt?” %ander asked Melanie, “If it does, we can go to the hospital,”

Melanie moved her wrist slightly. “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

On the way back, Xander did not say anything, Melanie guessed that it was because Fiona mentioned

his grandfather.

Still, it was Xander’s business, and Melanie could not just ach

To her surprise, though, Zander drove the car to a nearby hospital. He stopped the car and looked at

Melanie’s wrist. “You’re injured in your right hand. It would be safer to get it checked again.”

He was kind, and Melanie could not refuse. Fortunately, the results of the checkup were fine. It was just

a slight sprain. She just had to rest.

It was evening by the time Melanie finished her checkup and got the results. Dylan would probably be

arriving in Hearth City soon.

Actually, Melanie wanted to go to the Jepton Hotel to look for Howard, but Xander was still there, so

she did not say anything. She planned to return to the villa first before coming out by herself.

In the meantime, she could figure out what to say to Howard,

When Lisa called, Zander had just parked his car. Melanie looked at the time. Lisa must have just

gotten off from work.

She excused herself from Zander and picked up Lisa’s call as she walked out of the garage. “Melanie?”

Lise said after a moment of silence. “I heard you resigned from LeapCo. Why?”

Melanie’s resignation was not exactly a secret.

Melanie pretended not to hear the probing tone in her words and replied calmly, “Isn’t it normal for

people to resign? But why were you with Quentin?”

The last time she saw Lisa, she was still working with Frank Yates.

Lísa laughed bitterly. “Why else? The salary here is higher.”

“Is that so?” Melanie walked out of the parking lot. Instead of going back into the house, she went

around to the outside, under the half–covered open balcony.

She looked at the falling raindrops outside. “Why are you calling me all of a sudden?”

“Did you leave LeapCo because you had somewhere better to go? If so…”

Before Lisa could finish, Melanie understood. She lowered her lashes and said, “No, I’m going to take a

“But when I left LeapCo, Mr. Scott told the other companies not to hire me, so I can’t find anything

better.” Lisa’s tone was much bleaker now.

If it were not for Eugene, she would not have gone to work for Frank after leaving LeapCo and now,

she was working for Quentin.

Neither of them were good people.

Lisa would be lying if she said that she did not resent Eugene.

Melanie could hear the resentment in her voice, too. She made an excuse and hung up.

She had too much on her plate now. She was not in the mood to listen to others‘ complaints.

Besides, she still could not accept the fact that Lisa was working for Quentin now.
