The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

Chapter 865

After bidding farewell to her neighbor, Melanie lowered her eyelashes, lost in thought.

After a moment, she used a spare key to unlock the door. The stale smell of an unoccupied apartment hit her immediately.

Standing in the doorway momentarily, she noticed that everything was unchanged as it was before she left.

However, no dust was in the house, indicating someone had been cleaning.

Melanie called the tenant, who sounded puzzled when he answered the call. He did not

recognize who Melanie was at first.

When the tenant realized, he hastily explained, “Ms. Smith, sorry, I’ve been swamped lately. Is there something you need?”

Melanie’s gaze fell on the coffee table, and she walked over to see a navy blue cufflink.

Suppressing her emotions, Melanie asked, “It’s nothing. I just wanted to check if everything is alright with the house and if any repairs are needed?”

The person on the other end seemed to heave a sigh of relief. “No, everything’s fine. We’re comfortable here and really like the place. No issues so far, and we get along well with the neighbors.”

Melanie grunted in acknowledgment. “That’s good to hear. Sorry for bothering you.”

She was about to hang up when she heard a voice on the other end of the line, “Juno, the plans needed by Mr. Scott’s office must be revised urgently. Julie just came by to remind us.‘

Melanie hung up the phone expressionlessly, staring at the cufflink on the coffee table.

She had seen this before. It was one that Eugene liked.

Closing her eyes, Melanie suppressed the emotions swirling inside her.

Meanwhile, Juno quickly delivered the plans to the president’s office in another part of the city.

The department had been competing for a big project with the headquarters, keeping everyone busy. After putting down the plans, Juno hesitated, looking at Eugene.

Eugene looked up from the contract. His voice was flat when he said, “Speak if you have something.”

Juno hesitated momentarily before saying, “Ms. Smith just called me asking about the house.

Chapter 865

She wants to know if I’m doing well in the house and if any repairs are needed.”

Juno was somewhat hesitant. He was curious if Eugene remembered asking him to help rent the house.

However, speaking of which, that house had brought him a lot of luck. When he first graduated with his PhD, he applied to work at LeapCo.

The threshold was high, with intense competition. There were quite a few PhD holders, and he could have been more outstanding.

However, during his interview, Lee, who interviewed him, suddenly asked if he was from out of town and if he had solved his housing problem.

Although Juno was initially confused, he was recruited by LeapCo after he rented the house in his name. With his strong abilities, he gradually became a project team leader.

However, the house he rented back then was taken away by Eugene in the middle of the night the day he rented it.

Juno was also bright and understood somewhat what was going on.

It had been a year, however, and he did not know if Eugene remembered.

Eugene’s movements stopped, his expression slightly stiff as he asked, “How did you respond?”

Juno said, “I said everything was fine.”

Eugene did not say anything, his face looking serious.

Juno felt a bit panicked, thinking he might have said something wrong. As he was about to NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

speak, he heard Eugene say, “I see. You may leave.”

Eugene pinched his brows, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Melanie was clever. She would not call Juno without reason.
