Mnie did not dare move about recklessly, so she just sat at her desk and waited. Soon, footsteps approached. Thinking it was Stephen, she called out to him, worried that he might not be able to find her.


    The footsteps paused before slowly approaching her. Mnie could only see a tall figure and was unable to discern their features. However, she figured that no one else other than Stephen woulde up here at this time.


    “Could you help me a bit? I can’t see very well,” Mine asked softly.


    Her request was followed by a cold sneer as the figure arrived in front of her. Eugene’s looming shadow was apanied by his mocking voice as he said, “Is this how you endear yourself to Stephen before hooking up with him?”


    Mnie had not expected it to be Eugene. She fell silent for a moment before asking back, Why haven’t you left?”


    Ignoring her question, Eugene asked, “Waiting for Stephen toe pick you up?”


    Without her sight, the rest of Mnie’s senses heightened. Eugene’s low voice sounded as if he were whispering in her ear.


    Mnie tried to remainposed. “I can’t see well.” She had, in fact, mentioned her night blindness to Eugene before, but Mnie had always been careful to avoid the issue.


    She never allowed it to be a problem in front of him. He had probably forgotten about it because of this.


    Eugene went quiet for a while, so Mnie asked, “Is there anything else?”


    As she was unable to see clearly, she clenched her hands on the table tightly. It was a sign of


    her nervousness.


    Eugene lowered his gaze and observed her for a moment. Just as he was about to speak, Mnie received a call from Stephen, and her phone screen illuminated the area. With the light, Mnie was finally able to catch a bit of Eugene’s expression.


    It was very cold.


    His dark eyes appeared exceptionally chilly in this dim lighting as he stared at her. “Stephen has really bad taste if he’s interested in you.”


    A surge of frustration built up in Mnie. She could not help but retort, “In that case, you were blind for eight years.”


    Eugene fell silent at that for a bit before rebuking, “You think too highly of yourself.”


    With that, he left. Mnie’s phone screen dimmed again, leaving the office inplete darkness.


    When Stephen finally arrived, he had a shlight with him. He approached Mnie and asked, “Were you waiting long? I went to buy a shlight.”


    Mnie did not look too good, but she did not say anything.


    On the day the bonuses from the project with Oceanus Industries were calcted, Vi treated everyone in the secretarial department to coffee. The atmosphere was lively, but Mnie remained silent.


    No one dared to approach her as everyone knew that Mnie had been the main person in charge of the nning for Oceanus Industries despite not receiving any of the credit. When Vi handed her the coffee, Mnie’s expression turned cold. She stood up and immediately left. She was extremely agitated. The bonus from the Oceanus Project was a considerable sum, and she had not expected Eugene to handle the situation the way he did.


    Thanks to this matter, Mnie felt somewhat difited. Everyone in the secretarial department was observant of her and thus became cautious with their actions.


    However, someone had somehow leaked this incident. By the time it reached Eugene’s ears, the news said that Mnie had brought her emotions into work.


    When Mnie went to look for Eugene, he left her hanging for a while before he said to her indifferently, “If you don’t want to work, just say so.”


    Mnie just asked nkly, “Do you have any work arrangements for me?”


    Eugene raised a brow, his cold gaze fixed on her. “Aren’t you feeling resentful? The Prime City branch is having some trouble. Go deal with it.”


    Mnie’s face darkened slightly. The Prime City branch was the poorest performing one


    among


    all of LeapCo’s branches, and top management had been considering shutting it down. Yet, Eugene had assigned her to deal with this troublesome situation.
