Mnie’s eyebrows twitched. She subconsciously looked at Eugene, who did not answer the question. Instead, he looked at Mnie with an expressionless face.
Mnie had been with Eugene for such a long time, so she understood what he meant with that gaze.
He wanted her to take the initiative to exin to her grandfather.
Albert frowned and looked at her. “Mel?”
Mnie slowly dug nails into her palm, nced at Eugene, and lowered her eyshes as she exined to her grandfather in a soft voice, “We broke up a long time ago.”
After saying that, Mnie slowly loosened her grip. She reached out to take the suitcase and said, “Grandpa, let’s go.”
Before Mnie touched the handle of the suitcase, Eugene took it from her.
He lifted the suitcase and looked at Mnie’s grandfather. “I’ll help you guys take it down.”
“Eugene, we’ll go back to the ward and wait for you.” Vi spoke in a soft and sweet voice. She politely said goodbye to Mnie’s grandfather. “Grandpa, thank you for helping me just now. I hope that you have a speedy recovery.”
When the elevator arrived, Mnie stopped and said, “You don’t need to send us downstairs.”
After she finished speaking, she reached for the suitcase and prepared to leave.
Before Eugene could speak, Mnie’s grandfather said, “Eugene, I want to talk to you.”
Mnie frowned. Just as she was trying to find an excuse for Eugene, Eugene’s phone rang.
Mnie was close to him, so she saw Vi on the caller ID.
She quickly looked away. Eugene answered the phone without avoiding Mnie and her grandfather. Vi said something, to which Eugene hummed in response before he hung up the phone.
Eugene looked expressionless as he nodded to Albert. “Sorry, I have to go now.”
Although he said he was sorry, his attitude did not show any remorse.
Mnie lowered her eyes and took the suitcase. It was only less than two minutes when Vi parted ways with Eugene.
She dragged the suitcase and walked slowly with her grandfather to the parking lot.
The old man had a deep frown and a glum face the entire time.
It was not until Mnie sent him back to the nursing home that he said, “Mel, what’s going on between you and Eugene?”
“Nothing.” Mnie was still sorting out the medicine Albert needed to take every day. She stopped for a moment and said nonchntly, “We’re just not a good fit for each other. I didn’t tell you before because I didn’t want you to worry.”
Mnie did not know who this rhetoric was intended for. Her eyshes trembled slightly, and
<b>she </b>felt that it made sense.
She and Eugene were indeed not suitable for each other.
The photo of Eugene pushing Vi’s father in the wheelchair at Paramount Hospital was circted within LeapCo because an employee who went for a check–up in the hospital happened to bump into them.
Eugene’s employees had never seen such an approachable side of him and could not help but sigh.
Mnie also saw the photo, but she remained calm. When Eugene wanted to be nice to someone, no one could stop him.
Even though Mnie did not care about this, many of her colleagues still tried to tease her about it.
Mnie and Eugene’s rtionship was not a secret at LeapCo. Thus, those who disliked Mnie took this opportunity to make fun of her.
She bumped into Vi several times during meetings, but she ignored Vi and did her own thing.
One time, Vi took the initiative to greet Mnie, but she used work as an excuse to avoid Vi.
Vi pretended not to see Mnie after that.
On Friday morning, everyone attended the scheduled meeting. As soon as the meeting ended, Vi came in with a document and looked at Mnie embarrassedly. “Mnie, you submitted this document, right?”
