Chapter <b>24 </b>


    “So what are you trying to say?” Eugene looked at Mnie with dark eyes and tapped his fingers on the table.


    Eugene rarely called her name. He said, “Mnie, don’t shirk your responsibilities.”


    Mnie was stunned. “I’m shirking my responsibilities?”


    Eugene’s expression did not change, and he did not say a word.


    Mnie lowered her eyes for a moment and slowly looked up. She wanted to say something when Vi came over.


    Vi carried a tote bag and walked straight to Eugene to pull his sleeve. “Let’s go.”


    After saying this, Vi greeted Mnie with a smile, as if she had just seen her.


    Mnie did not say anything. Vi blinked and suddenly remembered something. “Mnie, I asked Julie to inform you this afternoon when Eugene finished his meeting. Why didn’t youe over?”


    Julie was an old employee of LeapCo who liked to make things difficult for Mnie when Mnie first joined thepany.


    Thus, everyone in LeapCo knew that Mnie and Julie did not get along.


    Vi’s intentions were clear when she asked Julie to inform Mnie.


    No wonder Eugene said that Mnie was shirking her responsibilities.


    Mnie looked at Eugene silently for a moment. Then <b>she </b><b>handed </b>over a pen. “Eu…”


    She paused slightly and changed her address. “Mr. Scott, please sign this.”


    Eugene nced at her, sneered, and took the pen to sign the document.


    Vi blinked and looked at Mnie with a bright smile.


    She pulled Eugene out of the office, but Mnie could still hear her sharp and sweet voice. ” Eugene, can we check out this new restaurant?”


    Eugene was really gentle and attentive when he wanted to be. Mnie looked away and thought about how Eugene was <b>never </b>so gentle toward her.


    It was already 10:00 p.m. when Mnie arrived in Jesenburg, the neighboring city. Mnie went straight to the hotel to rest and met with the client the next day.


    When the customer saw that Mnie came alone, he looked unhappy. “Where is Mr. Scott?”


    This customer was an old partner of LeapCo. Eugene had brought Mnie to meet with him. before.


    He was very determined and insisted on seeing Eugene in person. Mnie exined several times, but it was useless. Thus, she had no choice but to call Eugene.


    This time, Eugene did not make things difficult for her. He booked a flight ticket and came over that afternoon.


    Mnie went to the airport to pick him up, but she did not see Vi..


    She asked Eugene, “Why didn’t you bring her with you?”


    After all, almost everyone in thepany knew how much Eugene treasured Vi. Mnie thought that <i>he </i>would bring Vi with him.


    “She <i>has </i>other things to do and can’t get away.” Eugene’s answer was brief. He had long legs, so he walked quickly in big strides. Mnie had some difficulty keeping up with her high heels.


    Mnie said, “Then I’ll ask Mr. Walker to book a room for you.”


    “No need.” There was no emotion in Eugene’s voice as he added, “I’ll just stay in your room.


    Don’t bother.”


    Eugene did not like to trouble others, so Mnie did not say anything else.


    In the past, Eugene would share a room with Mnie when they went on business trips. The people apanying them were already used to it.


    As soon as Mnie returned to the room, Eugene went to the bathroom to wash up. That was when Mnie received a call from Stephen. His voice was gentle and soothing, which made Mnie smile.


    Stephen asked Mnie if she wanted to have lunch with him tomorrow. However, before. Mnie could answer, the bathroom door opened.


    There were a few drops of water on Eugene’s shirt, and he had unbuttoned the top few buttons of his shirt, revealing his chest.


    Eugene looked at Mnie and said in a cold voice, “Bring me a towel. I want to take a bath.”


    His voice was quite loud, and the room was quiet, so Stephen heard him.


    Stephen hesitated <b>and </b>asked Mnie, “Are you with Eugene?
