Chapter <b>36 </b>


    Eugene helped Mnie into her house. Soon after, his phone rang.


    Vi asked him when he would be there, as he had promised to apany herter. After hanging up the phone, Eugene wanted to leave, but Mnie held his fingers. Mnie sat obediently on the sofa, holding his hand. She drank a lot, so she smelled of alcohol, and her eyes were bloodshot.


    Eugene paused. Mnie wrapped her hand around his wrist, raised her head, and said in a hoarse voice, “Eugene, you haven’te to see me for a long time.”


    After she finished speaking, she stood up, hooked her arms around Eugene’s neck, and kissed his lips.


    When Mnie woke up the next day, her whole body ached.


    She rubbed her temples and went to the bathroom. When she stood in front of the full–length mirror in the bathroom and saw the mottled marks on her body, she knew thatst night was not a dream.


    However, Eugene was very careful this time to not leave any marks on her neck.


    That was probably because he was afraid that Vi would be suspicious.


    The news of Mnie messing up thepany’s five–million–dor deal quickly spread in the office.


    Julie took advantage of this opportunity to make some snide remarks at Mnie.


    Vi did not mock Mnie this time. Instead, Mnie heard that Vi quarreled with Eugene again.


    Mnie rarely met Vi in the staff cafeteria aside from the beginning, when Vi first joined thepany. After that, Vi always went out for lunch with Eugene.


    Vi was walking with a tray in hand next to Julie. She was stunned for a moment when she saw Mnie.


    Mnie did not have a good rtionship with Vi, so she turned around and left. However, Vi followed Mnie, sat across from her, and asked hesitantly, “Mnie, do you know where Eugene wasst night?”


    Vi was testing the waters.


    Mnie paused for a moment before she said calmly, “You don’t know where he went?”


    Vi pursed her lips and said reluctantly, “I had something to dost night. I didn’t know where he went.”


    Mnie’s expression remained unchanged. “Well, maybe he was working.”


    Vi was speechless. She ate a few bites of food and left in a hurry.


    In the afternoon, Vi followed behind Eugene, looking as if she had never quarreled with


    him.

    Vi trotted over to Mnie and said, “Mnie, Eugene told me to n thepany’s team- building activities in a few days.”


    LeapCo gave many benefits to the employees. Every year, Mnie would organize thepany’s team–building activities.


    Thus, Mnie handed the almostpleted document to Vi. “I’m almost done with it. You can redo it if you think it’s not good enough.”


    Vi took it over. The smile on her face faded a little. “Okay.”


    Mnie was not bothered to guess what Vi was thinking because she was busy arranging her business trip next week.


    LeapCo had many partners in other states, so Eugene had to travel out of town several times. during the midyear.


    Mnie did not know if Eugene would take her with him again this year. After all, he now had Vi by his side.


    The next day, Eugene informed Mnie to follow him to Hearth City.


    Mnie was a little surprised. “Is Vi going?”


    Eugene did not even bother to look at her. “What do you think?”


    Of course, Vi would go. However, Vi was just an intern and did not know much about the business in Hearth City, so she would be going as Eugene’s girlfriend while Mnie was just his secretary.
