THE UNFAITHFUL MR. SCOTT NOVEL (EUGENE AND MELANIE) - Season 4 Episode 45

when she heard a low, deep voice behind her.

“What are you two doing?”

The steady footsteps were especially loud and clear in the quiet environment. Melanie’s heart skipped

a beat, and she looked up.

Eugene was followed by Lee and a middle–aged man. His face was cold as he looked between

Melanie and Quentin for half a second.

Quentin froze when he heard Eugene’s voice.

“You look as graceful as ever, Mr. Emerson.” Eugene’s gaze finally rested on Quentin. His tone was

emotionless. “It seems like you’ve been doing well for yourself recently.”

Melanie had already regained her senses. She pinched the corner of her shirt to calm herself down

before looking at Eugene again.

She was a little puzzled. Why was Eugene here?

However, Eugene sensed her gaze and looked over with a pair of dark eyes. There was some

unknown emotion in them, but his tone was slightly mocking. “Melanie, you keep surprising me.”

His tone suggested that was not a good thing.

Melanie pursed her lips and was about to say anything when Quentin suddenly spoke up next to her.

He plastered on a fake smile and said brightly, “Mr. Scott, why are you here? What a coincidence. Why

don’t we have dinner together later?”

After saying that, he even looked at Melanie and chuckled. “It’s just that Melanie and I still have some

private matters to deal with. I’m afraid we’ll have to trouble Mr. Scott to wait a little.”

He deliberately emphasized the word “private” and looked at Melanie suggestively.

The implication was clear.

The air seemed to freeze instantly. Eugene narrowed his eyes. He was tall, so when he looked at them,

he naturally seemed to be looking down from above.

However, Quentin had to add, “Mr. Scott, you know all about my previous relationship with Melanie. I

took very good care of her at work, after all.”

He wore a fawning smile, but the words he said were very repulsive. He acted as if he had an improper

relationship with Melanie.

Of course, Quentin had said that on purpose.

He wanted to embarrass Melanie and get under Eugene’s skin.

Quintin had always held a grudge against Eugene for firing him from the company. At that time,

LeapCo was about to promote a batch of middle–level managers. He originally had a chance, but

Eugene came up with an excuse to fire him.

He had heard a lot about Eugene’s relationship with Melanie later on, and he was even more certain

that Eugene had tripped him up on purpose.

That was why he wanted to imply that he had played with Eugene’s woman long ago.

How could Melanie not understand what he meant?

She steered and looked up expressionlessly. “Your shamelessness truly knows no bounds, Mr.

Emerson. I just hope that Vanke and Dreamcatchers can protect you, lest you become a stray dog on

the streets again.”

Quentin’s face darkened, and a vicious look flashed across his eyes. However, he did not vent his

anger in front of Eugene. Instead, he sighed and said helplessly, “Melanie, why do you have to do

this?”

“I know it was hard on you after you had to leave LeapCo, but I’m just a small–time manager. I can’t

help you get into Vanke.”

“No matter what you say, I just can’t go do it.”

Melanie’s face had grown colder, but she could still feel an even colder set of eyes on her from above.

She took a deep breath. She knew that Quentin was a shameless scoundrel. There was no point

arguing with him unless she could get rid of him directly.

She pursed her lips and was about to leave when Eugene, who had been silent all this while, suddenly

scoffed. “Melanie, are you falling into further depravity because Xander can’t give you what you want?

You’re really putting yourself out there.”
