Chapter <b>14 </b>
Vi lowered her head and said shyly, “That’s not what I meant.”
Someone cheered from the side. “Eugene, what’s wrong with you? Why are you acting all whipped now?”
Eugeneughed heartily <b>and </b>looked at Vi with his dark eyes. He said nonchntly, “I gotta pamper my girl.”
Theughter became even louder. Someone suddenly said, “I used to think that Eugene’s type was Mnie.”
The private room became quiet, and the smile on Vi’s face froze. She bit her lip and looked at Eugene.
Eugene’s expression did not change at all. He lookednguid and rxed as he lowered his eyes and said calmly, “I don’t like her. She was the one who clung to <b>me</b>.”
After he finished speaking, that person added, “We have never seen Eugene change his phone number for anyone. Girl, you’re a special one to him.”
Eugene frowned. “Who are you calling your girl? Watch it.
After joking for a while, someone suddenly said, “By the way, Stephen York ising overter. Eugene, do you know that Stephen is back in Jepton?”
Vi was curious and asked Eugene quietly, “Who’s Stephen?”
Eugene replied, “just a friend.”
Vi nodded obediently <b>and </b>retreated to the side. If she read Eugene’s expression correctly, Eugene was a little hostile when he said that.
Vi kept up her good–girl act for so many years, so it came naturally to her.
However, when she nced at Eugene, who was next to her, her heart started pounding.
Vi knew that Eugene was out of her league, especially when shepared herself with a capable woman like Mnie.
However, when she thought of Mnie<b>, </b>she thought about what Eugene said earlier. He did not like Mnie. It was Mnie who clung to him.
Vi felt an inexplicable sense of superiority in her heart. No matter how capable Mnie was, Eugene still chose Vi.
Eugene even changed his personal number because Vi was unhappy with it. He also told everyone except Mnie.
Vi was still immersed in her smug thoughts when the person she despised appeared at the
<b>door</b>.
Mnie was wearing a coat as she walked in behind a tall man.
Someone greeted <b>the </b>man. “Yo, Stephen!”
Stephen was an elegant gentleman who had a bookish look.
He was handsome and had a faint smile on his face. He exuded a noble yet approachable vibe.
Vi subconsciously looked at Eugene, only to see him frowning slightly and staring at Mnie.
Vi stretched out her hand and tugged on Eugene’s sleeve. She whispered, “Eugene, I’m at little thirsty. Can you pour me a ss of water?”
Only then did Eugene look away from Mnie.
The moment he looked away, Mnie turned and met Vi’s gaze.
Vi was stunned for a moment. She then forced herself <b>to </b>show a harmless smile and greeted Mnie.
Mnie nodded and found a ce to sit down.
The people in the room were all familiar with Stephen. After saying hello, they asked, ” Stephen, why did youe with Mnie?”
They did not notify Mnie about their gathering and were just talking about her behind her back, which <b>was </b>a bit awkward.
Stephen smiled gently and said, “I bumped into her on the way here<b>, </b>so we came together.”
“Really? That’s quite a coincidence.” Eugene poured himself a ss of wine. Then he poured another ss and pushed it in front of Stephen. “Do you want a drink?”
Stephen pushed it back and said, “No, thanks. Mel’s car broke down, so I’ll send her hometer.”
