Chapter 28
"What are you doing?" Before Melanie could speak, Eugene's cold voice came from behind.
Melanie frowned. "I came here to ask her to modify a document."
"You want her to modify a document?" Eugene asked in a mocking tone as he stared at Melanie coldly.
Melanie quickly understood what he meant by that. Eugene had probably misunderstood Melanie, thinking that she was bossing Viola around like before. Melanie paused before she said, "Viola did this document...'
Before she finished her sentence, Viola grabbed Eugene's sleeve and said in a hoarse and low voice, "Eugene, it's not Melanie's fault. I've just been too distracted because of my father's health lately. That's why I didn't do it well."
Melanie opened her mouth, but she did not say a word.
She looked at Eugene, waiting for him to speak.
"Viola is going through a lot lately. If you have any problems, just deal with them by
yourself." Finally, Eugene led Viola into the office.
Melanie stood there for a while before leaving with the document.
In the afternoon, news spread in the company that Eugene reprimanded Melanie because she found fault with Viola.
When Melanie went to the bathroom, she overheard others gossiping about her. They said that she had deliberately bullied Viola.
According to the rumors, Viola was just a pitiful and well-behaved intern, and Eugene was a considerate and gentle boss. Melanie was the shameless and vile woman in the story. They discussed everything as if they had witnessed the scene.
Melanie pushed open the bathroom door, washed her hands, and left without any expression. The people who were gossiping looked at each other in embarrassment.
Back at her desk, the intern from this morning stood in front of her timidly. "Melanie, Mr. Foster is urging for that document."
She was referring to the document in which Viola made errors. Melanie paused and raised her eyes. "I'll give it to Mr. Foster later. You can get off work first."
The intern left the office with gratitude, while Melanie sat alone in the empty office.
Before she could finish revising the document, her phone rang. The nurse at the nursing home anxiously
called her, saying that her grandfather was hit by a car on the way back from school. The nurse asked Melanie to go to Paramount Hospital.
Melanie hurriedly put the work aside and rushed out. As soon as she got out of the elevator, she met Viola and Eugene.
Viola's eyes were no longer red, but they were still watery. Viola was whispering to Eugene.

Melanie glanced at them and left in a hurry.
Viola refused to let Melanie leave like that. She let go of Eugene's hand and blocked Melanie's path. She said sincerely, "Melanie, I'd like to apologize. I was too emotional this morning and got you in trouble." "I heard the rumors going around the company." Viola bit her lip and looked like she was prepared to take full responsibility. "I will explain it to them."
Melanie was in a hurry, so she nodded and said, "Whatever."
After that, Melanie wanted to leave, but Viola reached out to hold her back. "Melanie, let me treat you to dinner."
"There's no need for that." Melanie was anxious, so she did not bother being polite.
Viola was slightly stunned. She held onto Melanie tightly and looked aggrieved. "Melanie, do you hate me?"
Melanie looked down at her phone impatiently. When she used a little force to pull her arm back from Viola's grip, Viola som
