<b>Chapter </b><b>23 </b>


    Stephen frowned. He held Mnie’s elbows with both hands and asked in a deep voice, “Are you okay?”


    Mnie pursed her lips and said nothing. She took a moment to react.


    She stood up slowly and took two steps back. Her voice sounded a little tired. “Oh, it’s you. sorry. I didn’t notice you just now.”


    I’m


    “Mel.” Stephen stopped her.


    Mnie looked at him. She was tipsy, so her lips were bright red, and her eyes were a little


    dazed.


    Stephen’s eyes flickered slightly. He took off his coat and handed it to her. “I’ll take you back.”


    When Mnie followed Stephen out, Simon and a few others were waiting outside. When Simon saw Stephen, he said, “Let’s go to GT! Hunter said there’s a hottie working there recently…”


    Before he could finish speaking, Simon saw Mnie frowning behind Stephen. He immediately stopped talking,


    Stephen said frankly, “I’m taking Mel home. You guys go ahead.”


    Mnie was tall and thin. She looked like a bamboo standing next to Stephen..


    Simon snorted, picked up his phone, took a photo of the couple, and sent it to the group.


    Some of his friends nearby were curious as to what Simon was doing, so Simon said nonchntly, “Don’t you think that Mnie is so unfeminine? No man will want her. Tsk, tsk. No wonder Eugene would rather send dinner to Vi.”


    Mnie only saw the photo posted to the group chat the next day. Several people joked about


    <ol>


    <li>it.</li>


    </ol>


    Mnie did not care. She wanted to send a message to a customer, but she identally clicked on the group chat and saw the message.


    Just as she was about to exit the group chat, she noticed a message from Vi that read, [ Mnie and Mr. York look like a good match.]


    Simon replied to that message. [You and Eugene look like a better couple.]


    Mnie’s eyes lingered on this message for a while. She then exited the group chat and went to the president’s office with a document.


    Mnie was going on a business trip in the afternoon and had a document that needed Eugene’s signature.


    Before she reached the president’s office, Vi stopped her.


    Vi sat at Mnie’s old desk and <b>said </b>with a sweet smile, “Mnie, what’s the matter?”


    “I’m looking for Eugene.”


    Vi said calmly, “Eugene is currently <b>on </b>a conference call. He’s not free.”


    Mnie looked at her with cold eyes, showing no emotion. She said, “I need his signature.” Vi frowned in distress. “But Mnie, this is the secretary’s office rule. Did you forget it?”


    Mnie held the document. “When will the meeting end?”


    “Maybe in ten minutes.” Vi added, “Why don’t you go back first? I’ll let you know when he’s free.”


    Mnie had nothing to say, <b>so </b>she nodded and prepared to leave.


    However, Vi suddenly called out to her. “Mnie.”


    She pointed to Eugene’s office door and reminded Mnie softly. “Eugene is the president of LeapCo. It would be more appropriate for you to call him Mr. Scott in the future. Otherwise people will think that ourpany isn’t formal enough.”


    Vi’s smile was wless. The concern in her eyes was also genuine.


    However, Mnie felt as if someone had drenched her heart in ice.


    She felt cold to the core.


    Mnie went back to her desk and sat there the whole afternoon, but she did not receive a call from Vi.


    After work, Eugene came over and knocked on Mnie’s desk. “Why haven’t you gone to Jesenburg yet?”


    Mnie raised her eyes to look at him, handed over the document on the table, and pursed her lips. “I was waiting for your signature.”


    Eugene frowned, so Mnie added, “Vi said that I can’t disturb you, so she asked me to wait.” a
