Melanie looked at the photo.

In the photo was a woman and a man standing outside the hotel lobby. Eugene was holding her waist,

and she was looking at him.

Although the photo was taken from afar, their expressions could not be seen. Their posture was

intimate and ambiguous.

Facing the curious Yana, Melanie said, “I almost fell, and he grabbed me.”

Yana was one of the many people who had seen this photo. Many others in the company had seen it

too. Viola’s expression had been gloomy the whole day because of this.

Eugene did not react differently, and neither had he seen the photo.

Viola felt better upon seeing this.

That afternoon, someone from the finance department came looking for Melanie with a salary slip for

her to sign.

Melanie had caused them to lose their cooperation with Frank. According to LeapCo’s rules, she had to

pay a penalty that was equivalent to three months of her salary.

Her monthly salary was relatively high, so three months of her salary was a big number.

Yana just so happened to see the numbers and was shocked. “Melanie, the amount that was deducted

is enough to pay for the deposit of a house in my hometown.”

Melanie looked at the numbers and did not sign the salary slip. Frowning, she pursed her lips.

Only after the finance employee urged her did she sign it.

Yana knew what had happened and felt it was unfair to Melanie. “It’s not your fault that we lost this

project. Why are you the only one who has to pay the price? It’s unfair.”

Melanie said nothing. Her phone happened to ring, and a cute and weak voice came from the other

end of the call. “Sis, when are you visiting me again?”

Peachie was her half–sister. She was only eight years old and was suffering from leukemia. She

needed a high amount of medical fees every month.

The last time Melanie saw her was when her mother brought Peachie to her. Her mother had wept and

begged Melanie back then.

However, other than when she required Melanie to transfer her money, Dylan seldom called

her.

Dylan Lancaster was Melanie’s mother.

Yana needed to send a document upstairs after they returned to the office. Melanie pondered and said,

“I’ll send it.”

Viola bit her lip when she saw that Melanie was upstairs. “Melanie, why are you here?”

“I have a document to hand to Mr. Scott.” Melanie showed Viola the document.

Viola wanted to get up. “I’ll hand it to him.”

“I need his remark.” Melanie sounded indifferent.

Viola froze before sitting back down in her seat.

Melanie pushed open the office door and saw the busy Eugene.

Eugene lifted his head upon hearing the sound. Melanie handed the document to Eugene and said,

“Please sign this document and leave a remark.”

“Put it on the table. I’ll look through it later.” Eugene nodded.

Then, he continued with his job. However, Melanie stood there, not intending to leave.

Eugene stopped doing his work and asked her, “Is there anything else you want to say?”

“About the penalty of my three months salary…” Melanie looked at Eugene’s table as she . spoke.

Eugene froze before he placed his arms on the table, clenching his fingers into a fist. His voice was

deep. “It’s the company’s rules.”

“I said I can make up for it.”

“Did you manage to make up for it?” Eugene scoffed as he looked at Melanie meaningfully.” Melanie,

you’re not an exception.”
