That call took Mnie by surprise, yet she still stepped into the office.


    Eugene turned around when Yana called Mnie’s name.


    His cold eyes met Mnie’s. After seconds, he scoffed as he said sarcastically, “You’ve only just


    arrived?”


    Startled, Mnie looked at the ground and exined, “I’m sorry. It’s my fault for beingte. I was caught up in an emergency.”


    Her voice was calm, and her attitude was sincere, yet Eugene did not buy it.


    Sneering, he looked at Mnie in disdain as he said, “You have many emergencies. Thest time was your mother. Who was it this time? Your dad?”


    Mnie pursed her lips and did not answer. She paused briefly before saying, “What time will


    Chairman Scott be here?”


    Eugene nced at her and said calmly, “You’re well–informed.”


    Although Eugene mocked Mnie, he still brought her with him to wee Cedric’s arrival.


    Cedric did not like Mnie as a person but admired her working ability.


    Moreover, Mnie had learned plenty about Ste and Cedric to give them a good impression of her


    back then.


    As such, Eugene would arrange for her to attend to Cedric if he visited thepany.


    Vi was around, but she did not dare to show herself much during this kind of situation. After all, she still remembered the impression she had left on Ste.


    Moreover, Eugene had warned her about this.


    Vi drooped her eyelids and bit her lip lightly.


    Cedric was in his 50s, and as the chairman of Prosper Group, he had an oppressive temperament.


    He looked at Eugene with his sharp gaze and asked impatiently, “You just had to deal with the cooperation in Prime City. What took you so long?”


    ‘I went to Hearth City on my way back,” answered Eugene monotonously.


    ‘Is it because of Dous?”


    ‘Yes.”


    Cedric stopped asking and headed straight to the CEO’s office.


    Mnie followed behind them. She started the topic and reported their situation in Prime City to


    edric.

    Eugene and Cedric had a poor rtionship as father and son. It was only because Eugene was managing LeapCo that Cedric visited.


    Since their rtionship was terrible, Mnie had to ease the atmosphere and start a topic for them to discuss.


    She had been doing this for years and was good at it.


    However, when the elevator stopped, Cedric asked, “Did you go to Prime City with Eugene?”


    Mnie was startled for a second before answering honestly, “Yes.”


    Cedric’s gaze fell on Mnie. He was about to speak when Eugene interrupted suddenly, “How much say do you have in this business trip?”


    Mnie was taken aback but reacted quickly enough and did not show her emotions. She said, “I’ll prepare tea for both of you.”


    Cedric’s preference was just like Ste’s. He didn’t like coffee but loved drinking tea.


    Mnie took some tea leaves from the cab and brewed them for Cedric. Then, she prepared another cup of tea for Eugene,


    Julie had just gotten a ss of water and bumped into Mnie from behind. The tea in the cup spilled onto Mnie upon impact.


    Mnie frowned and put down the tray.


    Almost all the tea had spilled. It not only drenched her shirt, but it was also hot because she had just


    boiled the water.


    Julie froze for a moment and then stered a smile on her face as she said, “I’m sorry, Mnie. I was looking at my phone and didn’t notice you.”
