There was an underlying meaning in Eugene’s words. He was hinting that he was getting tired of Mnie.
When it was time to leave, Cedric and Ste bid goodbye to everyone at the <b>gate</b>. Eugene saw Mnie’s car and said, “I won’t send you back because I have something to do tonight.”
Mnie did not arrive with him anyway. She bit her lower lip and asked, “Are you going to find Vi?”
“Yeah.” Eugene lowered his head and looked at his phone. “Her period came early, so she’s craving cake.”
Mnie said, “You really care about her.”
Eugene raised his eyebrows slightly. “I wasn’t bad to you either.”
Indeed.
To be fair, through all the years Mnie had been with Eugene, he had been very generous to her.
Mnie nodded and did not refute. Then she greeted Cedric and drove away.
When she met Vi at the office the next day, she noticed that Vi was wearing a diamond ne.
Mnie’s sharp eyes instantly recognized that it was a new seasonal product from a brand that Eugene liked.
During their lunch break, Mnie went to the pantry to get some water. As soon as she walked to the door, she heard voicesing from inside.
Vi’s soft and cute voice was particrly prominent. “Don’t make fun of me anymore. It’s not good if others hear about this.”
“Moreover….” Vi sounded a bit torn and distressed. “If Mnie finds out, she will be very angry, right?”
At the mention of Mnie, the people around stopped joking. After all, Mnie always had a good reputation at LeapCo.
Mnie stood at the door for a while and decided to go downstairs to buy a cup of coffee.
She went to work as usual in the afternoon. That was when the project department gave Mnie a report.
Mnie frowned deeper the more she looked at it. Finally, she closed the document and returned it. “This report is too confusing. Please redo it.”
The department manager was stunned for a moment. Then he exined, “This report was given to us by the secretary’s office.”
Vi, who was next to Mnie, paled and lowered her head. She muttered, “Mnie, I did the report.”
Mnie frowned and scolded her. “You’re an intern, so you’re not ready to do <b>a </b>report like
She had not gone far when she heard some rtives admonishing Ste. “You <b>shouldn’t </b><b>target </b>her like that. What if she marries Eugene in the future<b>?</b><b>” </b>
Ste was fearless and said confidently, “She and Eugene can’t get married.”
Mnie paused in her footsteps, then straightened her back and went to another corner of the living room.
She went over and happened to see Eugene video–calling Vi.
<b>Eugene </b>said in a low voice<b>, </b>“There’s no one else. I’m the only one here.”
Mnie stood still and was about to turn around and leave.
However, Vi had already seen Mnie and eximed. She said something that <b>Mnie </b>could not hear.
Eugene looked back. His eyes were cold as he red at her. “Were you eavesdropping on me?”
Mnie’s lips twitched. “I was just passing by.”
After she finished speaking, she turned to leave, but Eugene grabbed her wrist.
Eugene stared at her with dark eyes. Mnie thought for a moment and said<b>, </b>“I didn’t hear anything.”
Only then did Eugene’s eyes move downward. His eyes were fixed on the bracelet on her right wrist.
He frowned slightly. “Why are you still wearing it?”
Mnie raised her wrist and said, “It’s a habit.”
This was the bracelet that Eugene gave her when she was in college. It was not expensive, but Mnie always wore it.
Eugene let go of her arm and said, “You should be tired of it since it’s been so many years.”
