The Unfaithful Mr. Scott ( Melanie Smith )
Chapter 201

Chapter 201

The management staff was fast. In just ten minutes, the elevator door was opened.

“I’m sorry. This elevator was supposed to be serviced this afternoon. Please forgive us for the Inconvenience caused due to our mistake…” The management staff apologized sincerely.

Melanie nodded in response and quickly got out of the elevator.

The place she had agreed to meet Zander was at a barbecue restaurant. Melanie was 20 minutes late when she arrived. Embarrassed, she said, “I’m sorry for being late. Something unexpected happened on my way here,”

Xander was still dressed in a simple white shirt and suit pants. He looked clean and smart.

He nodded. “Let’s go in. They’re waiting for us in the private room.”

Melanie always felt that she could get along with Xander well because he was natural and sincere instead of fake and pretentious.

Her knitted brows loosened as she followed Xander into the private room. Just as she entered, she heard Reny’s cheerful voice. “Melanie, long time no see. Happy weekend. We brought a gift for you bought by the boss.”

Melanie lifted her eyebrow in surprise. The boss Reny mentioned was naturally Xander.

She looked at Xander, and Xander calmly

Hearth City, and I paid for it in the end,aid, “They insisted on visiting the tourist area in

His explanation cleared Melanie’s doubt.

Smiling, she quipped along with Reny, “Thanks, Boss.”

Xander was taken aback by her calling him that. He, too, lifted his eyebrow.

Xander’s workshop had a good working environment. Everyone was outgoing and carefree. Melanie was quite familiar with them after getting along for some time.

They were initially talking about what they would visit in Jepton, and the conversation gradually diverted to work and the planning of the exhibition.

Some of the professional terms were something Melanie had never heard of. Reny, sitting beside her, naturally explained them to her.

As the conversation ended, Reny couldn’t help asking, “Melanie, aren’t you working at LeapCo? Why are you suddenly interested in this field?”

Melanie answered calmly, “I want to try something else.”

Reny was startled. Then, she took the glass of fruit juice on the table and toasted Melanie. Melanie, you’re so cool! You deserve my admiration and respect!”

Xander, who had been talking to Oliver, heard their conversation and asked Melanie, “Are you planning to resign and enter this field?”

Melanie said, “I thought you knew.”

Xander chuckled and took away Melanie’s wine, replacing it with a glass of fruit juice. He said,

“Do whatever you prefer.”

It was a satisfying meal. Reny kept sharing the interesting things they saw in Hearth City with Melanie.

Only when Oliver dragged her away did she leave reluctantly.

“Where’s your house? I can send you home if it’s far.” Only Xander and Melanie were left after everyone headed back.

Melanie shook her head. “I drove here, and it isn’t far.”

She knew Xander was offering this out of politeness, so she explained.

“Are you serious about changing your job back?

They happened to be walking under a streetlight, and Melanie looked at the music fountain as she nodded. “I want to challenge new things.

“You’re brave.” That was Xander’s comment about her.

Melanie chuckled. “I can understand why you and Stephen are friends. The things you both say are so alike.”

She was pretty to begin with, but she had to be stern as the secretary of LeapCo. As a result, she rarely laughed.
