Mnie was lost in thought until her phone rang. Seeing that it was Ste calling, she frowned slightly. Ste rarely initiated contact with her.
After hesitating for a moment, she answered the call, and Ste’smanding tone came through. “Come to Paramount Hospital and bring some supplements.”
When Mnie arrived, she learned that Madam York, Stephen’s mother, had identally injured her arm and needed to be hospitalized for observation.
When Ste saw Mnie, she raised her eyebrows. “Leave the things and you can leave.”
Her tone was unpleasant. Mnie pressed her lips together, choosing not to speak. Ste was Eugene’s mother, and be it publicly or privately, Mnie could not say much.
“Thank you.” On the hospital bed, Madam York nodded gently with warmth and courtesy.
Mnie shook her head and left the ward under Ste’s urging.
As soon as she stepped out of the ward, she collided with Stephen, who had been in a hurry. Stephen was surprised to run into Mnie here and supported her, asking, “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.” Mnie did not want to obstruct his path and moved aside so that he could enter.
Madam York’s room was a private one with a partition inside. Before Mnie could leave, she overheard Ste’s somewhat sharp voice, saying, “If there’s anything you need, just ask Mnie to do it. She doesn’t have much to do anyway.”
Mnie’s expression remained unchanged at the statement. She still had work to finish when Ste called her over. She anticipated another night of overtime when she returned.
“Mel?” Stephen had also heard what Ste said. Heforted Mnie gently for a bit before going inside to check on Madam York. He had initially wanted to invite Mnie to dinner, but considering her work demands, she declined.
Two hours had passed by the time she returned to thepany. When she entered the office, she saw Vi chatting with Yana. When Vi saw that Mnie had returned, she slowly went
back to her seat.
Mnie ced her bag down and asked, “Is everything sorted out?”
“It’s all sent to your email.”
Mnie nodded and sat down at herputer. The nning for Oceanus Industries was a challenging task. After reviewing the form that Vi had revised, she noticed a missing piece of data.
Mnie had intended to locate the information herself, but considering how much she had on her te, she handed the documents back to Vi. She instructed her to make the correction.
Vi was somewhat reluctant. “Isn’t the form already fixed?”
“There’s one more piece of data missing. It should be in the database. Check it.”
Mnie’s request was reasonable as it was part of Vi’s responsibilities. However, searching through the extensive database would take time.
Due to always being by Eugene’s side and having his protection, Vi had the privilege of not having to learn certain things. it made her somewhat clumsy when it came to certain tasks.
By the time Mnie finished organizing the data on her side, Vi had not managed to extract the data. Unable to just watch any longer, Mnie gave her a reminder with furrowed brows. Yet, Vi continued her work with an expression of indifference.
After finally finishing work for the day, it was already half an hourter than the usual time she got off work. Mnie packed up and prepared to leave. However, Vi stopped her. Mnie, do you want to have dinner together tonight? As thanks for driving me homest night.”
“I have something to do,” replied Mnie expressionlessly.
The office door was pushed open just as she said that, and Eugene’s cedar scent wafted in. He nced at Mnie and looked at Vi. “Why sote today?”
“Mnie came backte,” Vi said, attributing their overtime to Mnie.
Eugene’s gazended on her, the corners of his eyebrows lifting as he waited for Mnie’s exnation.
Mnie took a deep breath and exined slowly, “Aunt asked me to go to the hospital to deliver something.”
“She asked and you went?” Eugene threw out this question casually after a pause. It was a simple inquiry without any other meaning.
Over the next three days, Mnie managed to outline the n for Oceanus Industries. After having settled down during this time, Vi also made much faster progress.
