There was only pity and nothing else. The impatience in Eugene’s eyes spread, and he leaned back as he said in an indifferent tone, “Get out.”


    Mnie left without hesitation. When she passed by Vi’s workstation, she felt the guarded gaze cast upon her.


    Back downstairs, Yana looked at Mnie with admiration and said, “Mnie, you were so domineering just now.”


    Mnie paid no attention to thatment. “Did you deliver the documents I gave you this morning?”


    Just as she said this, a colleague outside the door called out to Mnie. “Mnie, someone is looking for you.”


    Mnie did not expect Joshua toe back and look for her again after leaving. Joshua’s familypany was also on the invitation list for the meeting, and Mnie had just seen him.


    However, they were not very familiar with each other. Joshua was nervous as he scratched his ear and greeted Mnie, “I heard you’ve been looking into art exhibitionstely? My uncle works in that field. If you’re interested, I can introduce you to him.”


    The reality was that Mnie had no deep impression of Joshua. She only remembered him as someone who often apanied Simon.


    She nodded politely and replied, “Thank you, but not for now.”


    Joshua seemed disappointed. “Are you very busy?”


    He genuinely admired Mnie, and the not–so–friendly things he said to her at the hotel that day had been seared into his brain. He had been wanting to make amends, but since Mnie was unwilling to ept his help, Joshua could only leave with regret.


    Mnie saw him off, and when she returned to the office, she noticed that Eugene hade


    down.


    Eugene was tall and exuded an air of superiority in his every move. He looked particrly arrogant when he was not smiling.


    Mnie paused for a moment before continuing forward. Eugene looked at her, mockery flickering in his eyes. “Mnie, you’ve quite the nerve, making appointments with men during working hours.”


    His words were impolite and quite harsh, causing Mnie’s fingers to involuntarily curl up. ” You know Joshua.”


    “The Hewitt family is small and insignificant. I can’t believe you’d be interested in someone like him now.” Eugene’s tone was lightly mocking.


    Mnie tightened her grip on the cup as she looked at Eugene. She forced herself to remain calm and finally asked, “Do you need something from me?”


    Eugene threw a document at her. “You’ll be handling the nning for Oceanus Industries.” Oceanus Industries was a rising star in the financial district of Aurelumn. Mnie nced at

    the document and was about to ask something when he added, “And take Vi with you.” Mnie was momentarily stunned, but then she realized what was happening. Eugene was holding a grudge against herment about Vicking, practical experience and not being considered an outstanding intern. That was why he wanted to assign her to a nominal role.


    Even if Mnie and Vi worked on the nning together or even if Vi just assisted on the sidelines, her name would have to appear on the project.


    Her hand that held the document trembled slightly. Biting her lip, Mnie looked up at Eugene. “What if I refuse?”


    Eugene’s icy gaze swept over her features as he sneered. Looking down at Mnie, he challenged her. “Do you have a choice?”


    He was right. Mnie had no choice. As long as she was still an employee of LeapCo, she had to follow Eugene’s arrangements.
