Viola said softly, “I just wanted to buy breakfast for everyone at the office, Melanie. Everyone has been working so hard, and Wendy mentioned yesterday that she was so busy that she didn’t have time to have breakfast. That’s why I bought some for everyone.

“I’m sorry, Melanie. I won’t do this again.”

Wendy, who had been working in the secretary’s office for a long time, spoke up when she was mentioned, “Thank you, Viola. Don’t hold it against her, Melanie. She’s still young and just trying to help out.”

Melanie looked at the coffee on her table. She was aware that Wendy was speaking up on behalf of Viola.

Her eyelashes fluttered downward, and she said nothing.

Viola placed a cup of coffee in front of everyone. Even Cissy and the rest had a cup.

Yana stopped picking on Viola when she was offered a cup of coffee as well.

This was a workplace tactic that Melanie knew very well about, but she found it too difficult to smile at Viola.

She was about to leave, anyway. This did not seem like something worth being bothered about.

All Melanie wished for was to quickly sign the deal with Blue Inc.

Cameron had not given any reply. Melanie walked to Viola with a document.

She said coldly, “Give this document to Mr. Scott. It contains the market trend for Blue Inc, and it includes a project proposal as well. Get him to sign it if there aren’t any problems.”

Melanie had thought things through. If Eugene wanted to give Viola a boost at work, there was no reason for Melanie to be doing everything.

Since Viola was so eager to show off, Melanie decided to give her the chance.

As expected, Viola did not reject the order. She took the document and headed upstairs.

Melanie continued doing her work, but Viola returned in less than five minutes. She called out softly to Melanie, “Melanie, Mr. Scott is asking you to go upstairs.”

She asked, “What does he want with me?”

“I think it’s about Blue Inc.” A smile appeared on Viola’s face when she said this. She looked like she was in a good mood.

Melanie quickly followed Viola upstairs.

Eugene was reading the document Melanie had completed. Melanie immediately asked, “Is there a problem with the project proposal?”

His fingers paused while flipping through the document. He put it down and looked up coolly at Melanie.

She continued, “I can make changes to it if there is a problem.”

It took a while before Eugene pointed to the project proposal stoically and said coldly, “Viola

will be working with you on establishing the workflow with Blue Inc.”

Melanie was taken aback. “What do you mean?”

“Mr. Scott brought me along for the networking event yesterday, Melanie. The boss of Blue Inc, Evan Morrison, was there as well.” Viola spoke up to hint at Melanie that Eugene had already introduced her to the boss of Blue Inc.

Melanie looked at her project proposal and understood what Eugene meant.

He wanted her to show Viola the ropes and be Viola’s stepping stone again.

Melanie tried her best to keep a calm expression. She asked Eugene, “Do you want her to be my assistant or do you want me to be her assistant?”

Eugene’s expression was frosty, and he looked distant. Tossing a cold glance at Melanie, he said in an even tone, “Isn’t it normal for you to hand over your work when you’re leaving LeapCo?”

Viola added softly, “I’ll make sure to learn well from you, Melanie.”

There was a happy look on Viola’s face while Melanie felt a chill down her back.
