The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

It was Viola’s first time attending such an event. She might not know how things worked.

Melanie had guessed that something like this would happen. It was just that she did not know what Eugene wanted her to help with.

She lifted her head and said calmly, “It isn’t appropriate for me to do so.”

Eugene looked at her without showing any expression. He said, “Go and teach her.”

Melanie naturally knew who he meant. Pursing her lips, she said nothing.

The last time she taught Viola, it ended up making her lose her job as the president's secretary.

She wanted to reject it, but Eugene said, “Take it as a job before she’s ready to take over the wheel. I'll pay you a salary.” He had said it casually, yet Simon whistled and quipped with interest, “Eugene, you sure are generous.”

Then, he looked at Melanie. “This is a good opportunity. Why aren’t you grabbing it, Melanie?”

Melanie wasn’t sure if it was an opportunity or a trap. She looked outside and saw Viola standing there nervously. Others would think she was a waitress if they did not know her identity.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

This was Viola’s first time attending the Scott family’s banquet. She knew nothing much about wealthy family’s banquets or probably could not even recognize the guests. She could only stand beside Stella and smile like a doll.

Stella was annoyed to see her being so foolish. Viola felt aggrieved, yet she dared not show it on her face and could only stand there with a stiff smile.

When Eugene returned, she looked at him and subconsciously wanted to hide behind him.

Before she could move, she saw Melanie behind Eugene. Her smile froze, and she asked Eugene in a whisper, “Eugene, Melanie is our guest. Why did you bring her here?”

Before Eugene could explain, Melanie stood behind Stella. She politely and naturally took the gifts the guests brought and greeted the guests.

The difference was noticeable. Viola pouted her lips and tugged Eugene's sleeve. She was about to shed tears. “Eugene, did you bring Melanie over because you think I’m too stupid to handle this?”

Eugene wiped her tears and comforted her, saying, “She’s used to doing this.” Melanie was not far from them and heard every word Eugene said. Her hand that was receiving the gift froze for a second before she pretended nothing had happened. She put the gift aside.

Although Stella disliked Melanie, she felt things were easier with Melanie around. She left Melanie to attend to the guests and went inside to take a break.

After Stella and Cedric left, Viola was less tense. She held Eugene’s hand and sniffled as she Chapter 54

asked him, “Did | embarrass you today?”

“No.” Eugene tucked Viola’s hair behind her ear. “You're not a waitress. | don’t need you to do all this to make me more presentable.”

Only then did Viola feel better. Meanwhile, Melanie said nothing. Viola was not a waitress and did not need to do all this. Melanie was offended.

Stephen was a little late. He came with his parents and was startled to see Melanie welcoming the guests.

His parents were highly educated and polite.

Melanie understood where Stephen got his gentlemanly side from when she saw them.

After Stephen and his family took their seats, Melanie looked at the guest list. Only a few more guests had not arrived.

Eugene and Viola had long taken their seats. The banquet began right after Melanie welcomed the last guest.

Before she could take a break, her phone beeped. Eugene had sent her a message through WhatsApp, asking her to go to him. Melanie had experienced this countless times. She previously had to attend to the guests with Eugene.

When she approached him, Stella and Cedric were already waiting there. Beside them was Viola.

Stella was not in a good mood. She glanced at Melanie and said, “It’s embarrassing enough to bring one, yet he brought two.”
