“What is there to tell?” Mnie said in a soft voice while warming up a ss of milk. She had her period, so she did not feel like drinking coffee.


    She asked Eugene<b>, </b>


    Do you want a drink?”


    What answered her was Eugene shutting the door.


    It rainedst night, so the road was wet. Mnie’s car was still being repaired, so she <b>had </b>to take a taxi to the office.


    When she went downstairs, she saw Eugene, who pulled a long face and acted as if he had not seen Mnie. Thus, Mnie thought it was wise not to carpool with him to work.


    Mnie arrived at the office a few minutester than usual. As soon as she entered the office, she heard muffledughter.


    She looked up and saw several colleagues gathered around Vi.


    On Vi’s desk was a bag that contained several cups of coffee from the cafe downstairs.


    Vi smiled <b>as </b>soon as she saw Mnie and greeted her innocently. “Mnie,e and have breakfast.”


    Mnie shook her head. “No, thanks. I already had breakfast.”


    “But I bought a cup of coffee for everyone using Eugene’s money.” Vi no longer addressed Eugene as Mr. Scott. She took out a cup of coffee and handed it over to Mnie. “Here. Your favorite Americano without sugar.”


    Mnie looked at Vi’s baby face without much expression. “Thank you, but I don’t feel like drinking coffee today.”


    The smile on Vi’s face faded. She retracted her hand in embarrassment and said in a weak voice, “Sorry, Mnie.”


    Mnie said nothing.


    During her lunch break, she passed by the lounge and overheard a colleague saying, “Why is Mnie being so arrogant? Vi is now Mr. Scott’s girlfriend.”


    Mnie was only focused on the fact that Vi was Eugene’s girlfriend.


    Eugene liked to fool around before. He had all kinds of women around him, but he never imed any of them to be his girlfriend.


    Even Mnie was not his girlfriend.


    Mnie was absent–minded all afternoon until Eugene suddenly went to her after work.


    “You need to go <b>on </b>a business trip with Walker next week.” The door to the office was open. Eugene’s voice was cold.


    Mnie knew that Vi could see everything in the office from her position.


    Mnie said, “Okay. If there’s nothing else, I’ll get going first.”


    She always had a hard time during her period because her back ached and her stomach was


    ufortable.


    Mnie calcted the days and thought that her period was ahead of schedule.


    “Why didn’t you drink the coffee that Vi bought <b>for </b>you?” Eugene asked in a low voice. He looked at Mnie with his dark eyes.


    Mnie’s body ached, so she frowned and replied, “I don’t feel well, so I don’t feel like drinking coffee.”


    Eugene paused for a moment. He said casually, <b>“</b>She thought she offended you somehow and felt aggrieved.”


    Mnie immediately realized that Vi hadined to Eugene.


    She looked at Eugene and said calmly, “So?”


    “Next time when she offers you something, just take it.”


    When Mnie opened the door and went out, she met Vi’s gaze.


    Vi looked at Mnie warily and smiled.


    Mnie was not bothered to put up a friendly act, so she returned to her desk, packed her things, and left.


    When she looked up, she saw Vi holding Eugene’s arm unabashedly.


    Mnie paused when she heard Vi say, “Mnie, you must remember toe to the gathering this weekend.”


    Only then did Mnie remember that she was forced to attend a dinner party on the weekend.


    She also had to bring her boyfriend with her.


    The next second, Vi said yfully, “You can bring Mr. York too.”
