The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

Melanie did not reply to Yvonne’s message.

She turned off her phone and continued researching new planning proposals.

She needed to become more accustomed to life in Oskon City. The weather, environment, flavors, and the unfamiliar accents she heard daily when she returned home made Melanie feel a bit out of place.

She and Oliver lived far away, and they were not close. They communicated through email and WhatsApp groups, rarely meeting in person.

With no other friends around, Melanie was a homebody, going out only once a week to buy groceries.

She had no desire to go out, no friends, and nothing essential to do. She only ventured outside when the sky in Oskon City was clear. While hanging clothes to dry, she accidentally bumped into the full- length mirror in her room.

The mirror, about half her height, swayed for a while, reflecting Melanie’s body on it. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

She had a pale complexion and a slender neck. Clothes that used to fit well now looked baggy.

Melanie stared at the woman in the mirror, who looked ill. Her pupils trembled, and she instinctively

reached out to touch her reflection.

Was that her-

Why did she look so terrible…

How did she become like this?

She did not think there was anything wrong with her before. Shock and horror surged within Melanie as she stood in front of the mirror for a long time, trying to understand her current appearance and

why she had turned out like this.

Just then, Yvonne’s call came in. “What are you doing? Did you go out today? I checked the weather forecast. The weather looks nice in Oskon City today.”

Melanie’s voice sounded heavy. “No. I didn’t.”

“Why are you at home again? In the past half a month, you’ve been home whenever I call you.” Yvonne was worried and asked Melanie, “Did you go to the hospital for a check–up?” ·

“I did.”

“That’s good.” Yvonne sighed, not pushing further. She added, “By the way, Hugh is going to Oskon City this weekend. I told him to bring you something. I’ve been busy at the company recently and can’t leave. Remember to contact him.”

In the end, Yvonne chose to inherit her family business to avoid getting married.

Hugh was coming on Sunday, but before meeting him, Melanie had to meet someone else–Matthew. They agreed to meet at a coffee shop, and she deliberately chose a bright and loose casual outfit. However, when she arrived, Matthew couldn’t hide a hint of surprise on his face. He asked, “Is this how badly you’re doing after leaving Eugene?”

Melanie hesitated. She had not heard the name Eugene from others for a long time, and she quickly changed the topic. “Why did you want to look for me?”

Matthew glanced at her and scoffed indifferently. He did not mock her and threw a file in front of her. “Help me with something.”

His attitude was quite arrogant, but Melanie did not argue. Instead, she opened the file and took a

look.

It was a project not in Oskon City but in Nava.

Melanie said, “I’m not an employee of your company.”

“Now you are. You don’t need to do anything else. All you have to do is get this contract signed.”
