The business partner in Hearth City sent someone to wait at the airport early in the morning. In the past, Eugene had always brought Mnie with him, so the business partner walked up to them and tried to curry favor with them.


    Vi felt neglected on the side. She tugged on Eugene’s sleeves, and her face was pale.


    Having cooperated with thispany many times, Eugene negotiated the new terms without a hitch. Mnie took out the documents from her bag and handed them to Eugene and the business partner. Then she habitually reminded Vi, “Don’t forget to make a reservation for dinnerter.”


    Vi froze on the spot. She was already embarrassed that she could not join in the conversation.


    On top of that, Mnie bossed her around like she was a mere intern.


    Vi pursed her lips. She did not move for a while and only looked at Eugene with red eyes.


    Mnie only came to her senses afterward. She said, “Sorry, I mistook you for Yana.”


    Vi said in a soft voice, “It’s okay, Mnie.”


    Mnie paused, nced at her lightly, then turned to Yana, who was behind her. “Make a reservation for dinner. Do you still remember Mr. Zimmer’s food restrictions?”


    Vi’s face turned even paler.


    She did not join the dinner and excused herself to go back to the hotel to rest because she felt unwell.


    Vi looked at Eugene eagerly. “Eugene, can you take me back?”


    Mnie thought that Eugene would not agree to take Vi back because he wanted to have dinner with Mr. Zimmer. However, Eugene nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll send you back.”


    Eugene turned to look at Mnie. “I’ll join you guys in a moment.”


    However, Eugene stayed with Vi for so long that he missed the dinner party.


    After Mnie sent off Mr. Zimmer, she hailed a taxi back to the hotel.


    The door to Vi and Eugene’s room was tightly closed. Mnie did not know if they were in there.


    The business deal in Hearth City was handled quickly. Mnie thought it would be fine from then on.


    However, a photo of Mnie and Frank drinking together intimately was circted online.


    The angle it was taken from looked like Mnie had taken the initiative to throw herself into Frank’s embrace.


    Yana had shown Mnie the photo and asked worriedly, “Mnie, will you be okay?” Mnie looked at the photo for a while and clicked on the group chat expressionlessly.


    The group chat was active at the time. The guys were talking about games, beauties, and sports cars.


    Mnie scrolled through the messages but did not find anything about the photo of her.


    Just as she exited the screen, a message popped up in the group chat. [Who took that photo of Mnie and that old geezer, Frank? How scandalous!]


    Mnie stared at the screen and read the messages of people making fun of her.


    Someone even tagged Eugene. [How did you feel when you saw Mnie hugging Frank? @ EugeneScott]


    This question seemed to spark the group’s excitement. The group started to tag Eugene one after another.


    Half a minuteter, Eugene finally replied. [Get lost.]


    Mnie turned off her phone expressionlessly. On the day she returned to Jepton, this photo still caused quite a stir. More people in thepany were talking about her behind her back.


    “Mnie, someone is here to see you.” Yana came in with copied documents. She was one of the rare people who was still willing to talk to Mnie.


    Mnie nodded and went to the reception room.


    Stephen was sitting inside with a familiar–looking young man.


    Mnie thought about it for a moment and recalled that the young man was also a part of Eugene’s circle. However, this man did not usually have a strong sense of presence.


    When the man saw her, he stood up awkwardly and said, “I’m sorry, Mnie. I took that photo and posted it in the group. I didn’t expect it to have such a big impact on you.”
