The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

Melanie looked down, and her expression stiffened slightly.

She had received a significant sum of money via bank transfer, seemingly from LeapCo’s account.

The next second, she received a call from Tina’s call. Melanie stepped aside to answer it.

“Have you received the money? It’s your salary for this month, the bonuses from the previous projects that haven't been paid, and some of the contracts you earned. Go through the numbers and tell me if you have any questions. I’m with the finance department now.”

Melanie said, “How come there’s so much money?” She did have a few projects that had yet to be settled, but they did not add up to so much. Tina said awkwardly, “It also includes your severance pay.

She could not understand it, either. Melanie’s resignation procedures would be completed in a few days, but Mr. Scott suddenly said that Melanie had been fired, so they had to pay her severance accordingly.

His exact words were, “LeapCo can’t afford a parasite like her.” However, Tina and the others thought otherwise.

After all, her resignation would be confirmed in a few days, but he had suddenly decided to fire her instead. Melanie would receive additional compensation for it.

It felt more like he was deliberately giving Melanie money.

Still, Tina was not going to share any of this with Melanie. She had to be careful whenever Eugene was involved, after all. Melanie was silent.

In the end, it still came to this.

She had been kicked out of the company like a stray dog.

“Melanie, is there a problem? If there is, I'll solve it for you now.” Tina’s voice brought her back to her senses.

Melanie said slowly, “There’s nothing wrong.”

“If there’s anything else you want to take from the office, you can get Yana to help you pack it up for you.” Tina reminded her in a friendly tone. “When | went to look for Mr. Scott today, | heard Viola chatting with Julie chatting. | think it'll be a little hard for you to come back to the office from now on.

Melanie had not expected Eugene to move so quickly. She did not know how to feel, so she just thanked Tina. Tina sighed and knew that she must be feeling terrible. She hung up without saying anything else.

To be honest, it was quite a pity. In the past, the company had privately discussed which

employee was the most loyal to LeapCo. Everyone felt that it was Melanie.

None of them expected her to get fired like this.

Melanie stood on the spot for a while with her phone in her hand. Her chest heaved up and down rapidly before she slowly calmed down.

Melanie did not say a word as Xander drove. She leaned her head against the window. Her mind was blank. It would be a lie to say that she had no feelings for LeapCo, but she was still unwilling to accept her new reality. This was a pathetic way to wrap up a career there, even for her.

How pitiful.

She was chased out, just like that. Melanie could not help but smile self—deprecatingly. Still, this was probably a good thing.

Melanie looked at the transfer notification on her phone. LeapCo had great employee benefits, so Melanie’s compensation was generous too.

She would not have to worry about her grandfather’s medical expenses for the time being. As far as that went, Melanie thought she had probably profited from this whole affair, too. Perhaps... Eugene was just taking pity on her.

After all, this much money was nothing to him.

The car stopped in another alley, and Xander looked at Melanie. “We're here.”

Melanie suppressed the emotions in her heart and looked up at the alley in front of her.

It had black tiles and white walls in a style that was rarely ever seen in Jepton. Melanie did not even know where she was right now.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
