When Mnie saw Vi, she concealed her annoyance very well and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Vi was dressed up. She put on makeup, which made her already delicate face look even more innocent. She looked like a girl–next–door type.
“Mnie, the department manager sent a document that needs to be revised. I wanted to revise the document at home and skip the party today, but…”
At this point, Vi nced at Eugene, who was next to her, then continued, “But Eugene said that I can ask you to help since you’re not going today.”
Mnie looked down at the file Vi was holding. They were so sure that she would agree to help.
She raised her eyes and looked at Eugene. “You want me to help?”
“Simon and the others are waiting for me and Vi. Since you’re not going, you might as well work overtime.” Eugene looked at Mnie indifferently and said, “You can im overtime pay for this.“.
Mnie felt a pain in her lower abdomen. After some time, she said, “I’m sorry, but I’m not feeling well.”
Eugene raised his eyebrows and stared at Mnie for a while. Just when Mnie thought he was about to say something, Vi said, “I told you that Mnie wouldn’t agree to it. Eugene, I think it’s better if I go back and revise this document. After all, I shouldn’t bother Mnie with everything.”
Vi’s tone was distressed and self–reproaching. Mnie lowered her eyes and remained silent for a moment. Then she raised her head and said, “Give it to me. I’ll do it.”

However, before Mnie could take the document<b>, </b>she felt a sudden pain in her stomach, which made her legs give out.
Mnie was about to fall when a strong hand held her arm. She raised her head and saw that Eugene was holding onto her right elbow.
“Can you get up?” He asked in a deep voice.
“Yes, please help me up.” Mnie was about to hold onto Eugene’s arm when Vi suddenly stopped her. “Mnie, let me help you<b>.</b>”
Mnie did not know if Vi was really weak or if she was doing it on purpose. Vi supported Mnie and suddenly let go of her.
Fortunately, Mnie had already stabilized herself. Otherwise, she would have fallen down again.
Vi looked frightened and said, “Mnie, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to let go. I didn’t expect you to be so heavy.”
Mnie had a poorplexion, and she did not have the energy to deal with them anymore, so she said, “Leave the document here. I need to rest.”
Chapter 28:1
It was clear that she <b>was </b>kicking them out, but some people just could not understand it.
Eugene looked at her and said without hesitation, “You should go to the hospital.”
Mnie said, “It’s just a period. There’s no point in going to the hospital.”
“That’s right, Eugene.” Vi bit her lip and looked at Mnie. “Menstrual pain will pass after a while. It’s no big deal.”
No big deal?
Mnie chewed on these words. Last time, when Mnie was at the Scott residence, Vi was on her period and asked Eugene to go to the other side of the city to buy her dessert.
How was it no big deal when it was Mnie’s period?
Mnie was insistent on staying at home. Vi also persuaded Eugene, so they left for the party.
Mnie stood at the door for a while with the document in hand before going back inside and closing the door.
Hearing the <b>sound </b>of the door closing, Vi, who was waiting in the elevator lobby, immediately looked aggrieved. She lowered her head and asked Eugene, “Is Mnie very important to you? Why are you so concerned about her period?”
Moreover, Eugene had been standing behind Vi. But when Mnie was about to fall earlier, Eugene pushed Vi away to support Mnie.
The more Vi thought about it, the gloomier her face became. However, she could not get angry with Eugene, so she could only me Mnie for the problem.
That was because Vi had always yed the part of a good girl in front of Eugene.
