The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

Eugene remained seated, eyes closed as he rested.

Thinking he might have dozed off, Melanie called out to him, “Eugene, we've arrived.”

Even after saying it twice, Eugene showed no reaction. Melanie furrowed her brows, reaching out to give his arm a push.

This time, Eugene responded quickly by grabbing Melanie’s hand with considerable force. She attempted to pull her hand back but could not. She had to speak up, “We're at the hotel, Eugene.”

Having consumed a fair amount of alcohol that night, Eugene had grown drowsy along the way back. He held onto Melanie’s hand tightly, his voice hoarse as he said, “A bit longer.”

Pausing, Melanie was about to say something when Evelyn knocked on the car window from outside.

Evelyn had finished her call and was waiting for Eugene.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Eugene opened his eyes, his brows creasing with slight impatience before quickly relaxing.

Melanie parked the car before returning to the hotel. There, Eugene was accompanying Evelyn at the front desk to check-in. After bidding them goodnight, Melanie excused herself and headed back to her room.

Upon completing the check-in at the front desk, Evelyn looked up at Eugene and commented, “Your secretary seems to look at you with some hidden intentions.”

“Is that so?” Eugene responded casually. Evelyn added, “Look at the way she looks at you. It’s not exactly pure. Did you sleep with her?” Eugene's eyebrows twitched slightly as he replied indifferently, “I dislike people prying into my affairs.”

“Sorry, it’s a habit.” Evelyn did not feel embarrassed by it. She had, after all, majored in psychology in college. However, she could tell from Eugene’s reaction that he had a history with the woman.

She did not mind, though, since men were all the same. At least Eugene was wealthy and good- looking. The next morning, Melanie was informed that there would be a meeting at the branch office.

Evelyn tagged along. “My mom asked me to learn from Eugene, so I'll act as his secretary temporarily today. You won’t mind, right, Miss Smith?” she said.

Melanie said nothing, of course, and Evelyn nodded in satisfaction. “Then please wait for us downstairs after the meeting.” Eugene returned a call and instructed Melanie, “Give all the documents to Evelyn. She'll accompany me to the meeting later. #1

With a cheerful smile, Evelyn pushed Eugene toward the exit. “She just gave them to me. Let’s go. We don’t want to be late.”

2/2 Melanie escorted them to the branch office. Eugene did not even glance at her before he led Evelyn upstairs.

Melanie watched their retreating figures, her lips curling into a cynical smile. After spending all those years by Eugene's side, she was now nothing more than a chauffeur.

Unexpectedly, Eugene and Evelyn were quick to return. Eugene's expression remained unreadable, but Evelyn was indignant. “This company’s management needs a cleanup. They called for a meeting but didn’t even have the materials prepared.”

Her tone and attitude would make one who was unaware think that the company belonged to her. Eugene, however, was blank as he said to her calmly, “Would you like to go back to the hotel or somewhere else?”

They could not proceed with work, and Evelyn herself did not care much about it. Her anger just now was more of a show she had put for Eugene.

“A bag | ordered earlier arrived. Will you accompany me to pick it up?” she asked simply as she tossed the documents to the side.

Eugene nodded nonchalantly. “Sure.”

Evenlyn raised a brow before adding with a smile, “Can you drive, though? I'd like to spend some time alone with you.”
