Even though Melanie could not move her shoulder much, she still managed to be careful and make her

way to the office.

Xander immediately frowned when he saw her. “What are you doing here?”

Melanie cut to the chase and replied, “Why didn’t you inform me that LeapCo is delaying the contract?

“When Melanie went to LeapCo, things proceeded smoothly thanks to Yana.

“The person in charge was suddenly changed to Viola, and she’s nitpicking everything,” Reny could not

help but interject.

Melanie nodded, then turned and went into the study to contact Yana.

“I don’t know why the role suddenly fell to her either, but she’s been watching you guys closely every

day. The way she does things makes it look like she’s scrutinizing you guys under a magnifying glass,

“Yana said.

“Melanie, even if she makes things difficult, in the end, it’ll be signed. The worst–case scenario might

just be that a little more time is needed before you get there.”

The call ended, and Melanie’s expression was sour. She knew that the project would eventually

succeed with time, but time was the last thing a project like this could afford to lose.

That afternoon, once lunch break had ended, Melanie went to LeapCo and met with Yana as usual.

However, this time, Viola was also tagging along.

“Melanie, why didn’t you contact me directly if you came to discuss the contract with Burning Star?”

Viola asked with a smile. “Didn’t Yana tell you that I’m in charge of this project now?”

Melanie detected the smugness in her words but remained unfazed. “What’s the reason for LeapCo

delaying the contract?”

“Oh, you came because of that?” Viola tapped the table with the pen in her hand, still smiling. “It’s

because there are many unreasonable aspects in the contract. We need to make adjustments before

proceeding.”

Melanie’s gaze lingered on the pen in Viola’s hand for a moment. It was a Montblanc 4810, a pricey

limited edition pen. It was a birthday gift Melanie had given Eugene last year.

As if noticing Melanie’s gaze, Viola paused before holding up the pen. “You find this pen beautiful

too, eh? It’s the one Mr. Scott let me use.”

Melanie kept any emotion from her dark eyes. She tapped the tabletop with her fingertips lightly.

Miss Shaw, I’m not interested in where you got your pen from. I just want to know how we can resolve

the issues with the contract.”

Viola’s smile slightly stiffened. Composing herself, she replied, “Melanie, we can discuss work later, but

I heard you were injured. Is that true?” As she said this, she imperceptibly glanced at Melanie’s

Melanie asked, “Where did you hear that?”

“Miss Dylan told me. She’s concerned about you,” Viola said, and the air around them seemed to

freeze for a moment.

“What’s wrong, Melanie?” Viola deliberately inquired again. Despite her calm expression, she also

revealed a sense of triumph.

Before she could enjoy her victory for long, however, the meeting room door swung open. Lee entered,

followed by Eugene and two other middle–aged men.

Everyone was momentarily stunned, but Lee was the first to react. “Are you discussing the contract?”

Viola nodded. She was about to respond, but Melanie had already stood up. She looked at Eugene and

said, “Mr. Scott-

Before she could finish her sentence, however, the man’s cold and steady voice interrupted her, to my

office and wait.”
