Eugene’s eyes fell on Mnie, who said nonchntly, “My car <b>broke </b>down on the road”
Mnie picked up the ss of wine that Eugene pushed to Stephen and <b>said</b>, “I can drink on his behalf if you want someone to drink with.
“Drink on his behalf?” Eugene spoke through clenched <b>teeth</b>. He looked at them yfully and said casually, “Ms. Smith, what’s your rtionship with Mr. York that you can drink in his stead?”
Mnie frowned. The displeasure in Eugene’s tone was obvious.
Vi, who had been silent, suddenly asked in surprise, “Mr. York, are you Mnie’s boyfriend?”
Mnie was startled. She nced at Vi with cold eyes and was just about to speak when Eugene said, “Is that so?”
Eugene stared at Mnie with deep eyes and waited for her answer.
“Don’t embarrass Mel.” Stephen was as gentle as ever. He had a friendly smile on his face as he replied on behalf of Mnie.
“We’re just friends.”
Since Stephen said so, the others had nothing else to say.
Mnie got up and excused herself to the bathroom.
It was a coincidence that she and Stephen met. Stephen had just returned from a business trip. He said that he had to attend a gathering and asked <b>her </b>if she would like to tag along.
Mnie did not want <b>to </b>dy his schedule, so she followed him over. She did not expect <b>that </b>Eugene and Vi would be at this gathering.
She felt frustrated as she washed her hands. She wanted to sit outside and wait for a while before sending a message to Stephen to tell him that she would leave first. But as soon as she stepped out of the bathroom, someone blocked her path..
Eugene held his phone and lowered his eyes to look at the screen. When Mnie came out of the bathroom, he slowly raised his eyelids to look at her. “Are you nning to get back together with Stephen?”
Almost everyone in their circle knew that Stephen liked Mnie.
Stephen was also one of the rare people that Mnie could click with among Eugene’s circle of friends.
Mnie paused slightly and thought of exining herself. But somehow, she said, “Won’t you feel more relieved that way?”
Eugene snorted lightly. “What does it have to do with me?”
“Didn’t you get Vi to ask me if I <b>had </b>a boyfriend?” Mnie looked at him calmly. “Eugene, what kind of answer do you want to hear?”
No one was in this corridor. The plush carpet made Mnie feel like she was stepping on
clouds.
Mnie clenched her fists and continued, “I couldn’t get through to
you <b>today</b>.”
Eugene’s dark eyes fell on her face. Mnie used to like looking into Eugene’s eyes the most. She always felt that there was another side of Eugene hidden in them that others could not see.
However, when she looked into his eyes now, she suddenly found that there was nothing else besides indifference.
Mnie’s eyshes trembled, but she did not let her tears fall.
Eugene said, “I changed my number. Vi doesn’t like my old number.”
Mnie and Eugene registered their phone numbers at the same time<b>, </b>so their numbers were very simr. The only difference was in thest two digits.
“Also.” Eugene took two steps forward and suddenly stopped. He turned back to look at Mnie <b>and </b>said in a casual tone<b>, </b>“She’ll feel more at ease if you’re dating someone.”
When Mnie returned to the private room, the group was ying truth or dare. It was Vi’s turn, and her dare was to kiss Eugene in public.
The group cheered loudly. Vi was shy and snuggled into Eugene’s arms
Mnie said goodbye to Stephen in a low voice and told him to have fun.
Stephen stood up and said, “I’ll take you home.”
His voice was not loud, but the private room was quiet at that moment, so everyone heard him clearly.
Imo
Vi broke the <b>silence </b>with a chuckle. “<b>Mnie</b>, you must tell me if you’re dating someone!”
