The Unfaithful Mr. Scott ( Melanie Smith )
Chapter 341
The atmosphere in the office froze a little. Melanieâs eyelids trembled before she said slowly,â Weâre not discussing terms. Weâre amicably negotiating a possible cooperation.â
Eugene lifted his gaze slightly, and there was a faint coldness in his expression. âNegotiating? Melanie, I already rejected your offer of a deal.
âOr have you forgotten already?â Eugene looked at her impassively. âI never touch a toy Iâve thrown away.â
Melanieâs breathing caught in her throat.
He was talking about Burning Star Studio anymore.
Her heart pricked, and it took her a while to pack up the documents she had brought. âThen Iâm sorry for taking up your time, Mr. Scott.â
Eugeneâs cold gaze landed on her. His thin lips were pursed tightly, and his jawline was clearly taut. His entire body was enveloped in a faint cold aura.
He said sarcastically, âI thought youâd be faring better after you joined Xander.â
At the mention of Xander, Melanieâs hands moved a little faster.
Eugeneâs expression was cold and dark. His tone took on an edge of warning that even he did not notice. âHis family is not as simple as you think. I would advise you not to get too close to Xander.â
Melanie paused. She looked slowly at Eugene. âWhat do you know?â
Eugene snorted and tapped his slender fingers on the desk casually. His voice was very calm. â Didnât Xander tell you that he has already been chased out by his family? Theyâre already nurturing a new heir. Why else would he have gone overseas and started an indie studio?â
Eugene gave her a contemptuous halfâsmile. âSorry to say that youâve chosen the wrong guy to cozy up to.â
Melanie did not know much about Xander, but she could tell from the occasional conversation at work that Xander did not get along with his family.
When Eugene saw that she was silent, a dark look flashed across his eyes. He was about to speak when Melanie looked up.
She had lost a lot of weight recently, but her skin was still very fair. The evening light shone in through the window and landed on her face, making her beautiful facial features look more determined.
She looked at Eugene, her lips moving slightly. âI never âcozied upâ to anyone. You donât have to tell me about Xander, either. Eugene, your high and mighty attitude really annoys me.â
As soon as she said, Melanie packed her things. She took the documents and was about to leave, but before she left the office, she exhaled and said in a low voice, âIâve left you the
information on Burning Star and Dreamcatchers. You can let Lee verify everything. If youâre willing, Mr. Scott, Burning Star will always be happy to work with you.â
With that, she left the office.

Viola was upstairs, staring at the door. As soon as Melanie came out of the room, she met Violaâs gaze.
Melanie pretended not to see her, said goodbye to Lee, and left.
When she went downstairs, she bumped into Yana who had just left work.
Yanaâs head was drooping. When she saw Melanie, she perked up and greeted her with a smile. âMelanie, do you want to have dinner together?â
Melanie thought for a moment and agreed. She texted Reny and Xander, then she drove Yana to a nearby Japanese place.
Yana sighed. âMelanie, I missed the time when you were around. Everything was arranged and orderly. I didnât even need to bring my brain to work.â
âHaha, I wasnât that impressive!â
âYou were! While you were away, we went through a bunch of different people. It took forever for us to settle on Hannah.â
Yana was full of complaints. âAnd Viola acted like she was going to join the secretaryâs office too! Didnât you see that look on her face? Sheâs totally a twoâfaced witch.â
