Chapter 21 Eugene took Viola to the party. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the two had just quarreled. Viola sat down on the other side with a dull face, and Eugene did not go over to coax her. Simon was close to Eugene, so he picked up his wine glass and sat down next to Eugene. He chatted casually before getting to the main topic. "Eugene, are you in a serious relationship with this girl? " Eugene's face remained calm as he asked, "What do you think?" just think that if you're serious about her, you should go over there and coax her. Don't make her angry." Simon glanced at Viola. She was young and wore her emotions on her sleeve. It was obvious that she felt aggrieved. Simon snorted nonchalantly. "Don't think that all girls are as easy as Melanie, who is always at your beck and call." There were two reasons why Eugene's friends did not like Melanie. They thought that Melanie was aloof and cold. She would not bother talking to anyone besides Eugene. Another reason was that Melanie obeyed Eugene to the point that she had no temper. If Eugene wanted to sleep with another woman, Melanie would gladly book a hotel room for him and personally hand over the room card to Eugene. Eugene's friends were elites who had a natural sense of superiority over others. They liked. obedient women, but they did not like it when their women were so obedient to this extent. Therefore, Melanie could not fit into their circle. They did not respect her either. Simon sat there for a while before he went over to the others. As soon as Simon left, Viola went over to Eugene. Eugene looked down at her. "Are you still angry?" Viola said softly, "I'm not angry. I just couldn't help but think about your history with. Melanie whenever I see her." She raised her eyes and looked at Eugene probingly. "After all, Melanie is such a capable woman. It's hard for any man not to like her." Melanie stayed at home for the whole weekend. She did not feel better until early Monday morning. She took the document she had revised for Viola to the office. As soon as she got to work, she received a job transfer notice from HR. Everyone in the office was startled. Viola held Melanie's hand with a look of regret and said , " Melanie, I haven't learned much from you yet." Melanie paused for a moment. She threw the document on the table and said in a dull voice, It's true that you didn't learn anything . I redid the whole document." His fingers paused while he was flipping through the documents. Then his thin lips parted slightly before he said, "It's nothing. Viola just feels pressured when she sees you." Eugene said casually, "If you're so capable, you'll do well anywhere. Viola isn't as capable as you, and she's young." Viola was still young, so Eugene did not want to put any pressure on her. However, Eugene seemed to have forgotten that Melanie was two years younger than Viola when she started dating him back then. Melanie was not much older than Viola at the moment. When Melanie left the office, a group of people were helping Viola pack her things. Melanie's desk used to be in the best spot in the office. Since Melanie was gone, Viola would claim it. Melanie's things were already put into boxes and placed on the side. Title: A Fated Encounter In "A Fated Encounter" by CrushReels, a captivating modern romance unfolds.
