He spoke as he flipped through the document Mnie brought. Then, he threw it at a corner of the table. “So, you don’t deserve to be treated differently.”


    Mnie had been eating in thepany’s canteen with Yana and would go for the cheapest set meal. LeapCo had a proper canteen, and the welfare of their employees was reasonably good.


    Yana was curious. “Mnie, why have you been eating at the canteen recently?”


    Before Mnie could answer her, Yana responded to her own question, “Oh, I understand. Is it because of the penalty issue?”


    Mnie grunted in response to her question.


    Not only did Yana feel that it was unjust for Mnie, but even others working in the same department felt the same way.


    However, they dared not ask Mnie and only talked about it behind her back.


    Mnie happened to hear the gossip about her when she was about to walk out of the toilet cubicle. Stunned, she stopped in her action of opening the door.


    “If I were Mnie, I’d be so angry. She has to get three months of sry deducted when it’s not her fault at all. If I were her, I would’ve resigned. Mnie is capable and can get a job. anywhere easily.”


    “She can’t resign. Mnie seems to have signed abor contract with LeapCo,” said another


    woman.


    Only when the voices faded did Mnie walk out.


    She had indeed signed abor contract with LeapCo, and Cedric was the one who made her sign it.


    On Friday, Mnie went to the nursing home, paid the fee for the next term, and transferred Peachie’s medical expenses for the month to Dn.


    When she left the nursing home, her grandfather stuffed a bank card into her palm.


    Mnie’s forehead creased. “Why are you giving me this?”


    “I can’t let you bear all of Peachie’s medical expenses. I’m her grandfather, after all.” The old man sighed. “There isn’t much money in it. Maybe it’ll only be enough for a few months‘ worth of medical fees.”


    When Mnie returned home, she saw Eugene, who seemed to be going out.


    He froze when he saw Mnie. “Did you take the afternoon off?”


    “Yes. I had something to deal with.”


    Eugene looked at her before parting his lips and saying, “Tomorrow night at Jepton Hotel.”


    Ste’s birthday was tomorrow, and Mnie thought he would go with Vi.


    He had already walked away when she was about to ask Eugene if they had to leave together.


    The next day, <b>Mnie </b>waited for Eugene at home until 5:30 pm, but she did not see him. Thus, she drove to Jepton Hotel herself.


    She only realized Eugene had already arrived when she was at the venue.


    Beside him was Vi who was dressed gorgeously. She was weing the guests with Ste and Eugene.


    Ste looked at Mnie with a sneer. Mnie handed her the gift she brought. “Happy birthday, Mrs. Scott.”


    She knew Ste despised her and the gift she brought.`


    Although Cedric looked down on Mnie’s status, he did not care to make things difficult for a <b>woman</b>. He just said sternly, “Go in since you’re already here.”


    `Many of Eugene’s friends attended Ste’s birthday party.


    When Mnie entered the hall, she saw Simon and the others.


    Vi led Mnie to Simon’s table and said, “Simon, Mnie is here. Eugene is busy, so please help us take good care of Mnie.”


    It was the first time Mnie was a guest at a banquet of the Scott family. She lowered her eyelids, hiding her surging emotions.


    Just as she sat, Eugene approached her and knocked on the table in front of Mnie as he looked at her. He said indifferently, “Come over and help.”
