“Hmm? Why didn’t I hear you mention this before?” Yana was curious. Instead of answering, Mnie
asked, “Are the meeting materials ready? We’ll need themter.”
Yana’s attention was immediately diverted, and she began preparing the documents.
When the meeting ended around ten o’clock, Mnie had juste out of the meeting room when she saw Vi standing outside. She thought Vi was there to use the meeting room and turned to
leave, but then Vi called out to her.
Mnie stopped in her tracks. “What’s the matter?”
“I…” Vi bit her lip and then looked at her with eager eyes. “Mnie, didn’t you promise to tell me the chairman’s preferences yesterday?”
Mnie had not expected her to ask her about this and paused for a moment before replying, “Now is not a good time.”
It was still working hours, and Mnie had just finished the meeting with a pile of unorganized
documents in her hands.
However, Vi thought Mnie was deliberately making excuses and immediately grew dissatisfied.
Still, she reminded Mnie gently, “Mnie, perhaps you aren’t able to get along well with the
chairman. But don’t worry, I’ll be sure to remember his preferences.”
Mnie understood what she was implying, but she was genuinely busy at the moment and did not
bother.
“If you really want to know about the chairman’s and his wife’s preferences, it would be better for
you to ask Eugene directly.”
Vi’s expression turned unpleasant. Mnie’s words seemed to have deliberately touched on her
sore spot. No matter how she hinted at the man, he did not show any intention of taking her home.
However, she quickly adjusted her expression and looked at Mnie with a hint of grievance and sadness as she whispered, “Eugene is too busy. He asked me to ask you. He said you know everything and that I shoulde to you for anything I don’t understand.”
Mnie paused. “Come find me during lunch break.
“I
True to her enthusiasm for any matters rting to Eugene, Vi came to Mnie right on the dot with a smile on her face. “Mnie, let’s have lunch together!”
Mnie knew she was in a hurry, so she just responded with an indifferent hum.
Yana had been waiting for Mnie, and when she noticed Vi approaching her, she guessed they had something to discuss. So, she bade Mnie farewell before leaving with the others.
“You’ve got a pretty goodwork, Mnie,” Vimented. Her words seemed intentionally
directed at Mnie since everyone at LeapCo knew Mnie was known for being stern and impartial. She had very few good rtionships with people because of this.
Mnie had been eating at thepany cafeteria recently. Vi looked at the ordinary employee meals and frowned. “Mnie, how about I treat you to a meal outside? There’s a popr restaurant nearby.”
Mnie declined, “I’m good.”
“I know you’re in a bit of a special situation now, but you shouldn’t neglect yourself,” Vi frowned as she whispered.
She appeared cautious, as if afraid that others might overhear their conversation. This created an overly intimate atmosphere.
However, Mnie stepped back slightly and said calmly, “Stop wasting time. It’s none of my business whether you want to please the chairman or marry into Eugene’s family. No need to unt it in front
of me.”
Mnie did not lower her voice when she said that. Although there were not many people around, a few overheard what she just said. Vi did not expect Mnie to be so direct.
She looked flustered but also pale as she awkwardly looked at Mnie. “Mnie, why are you saying
that?”
“Is there anything wrong with what I said?” Mnie’s emotions remained unchanged. She was already taller than Vi, and with high heels on, she appeared even more imposing.
She lowered her gaze and looked at Vi. “Vi, what right do you think you have to behave so smugly in front of me when you’re relying on that card Eugene gave you?”
Mnie’s words left Vi white as a sheet. She bit her lip, staring at Mnie as if she had just uttered something extremely humiliating.
Mnie looked away and turned to leave. Vi did not follow her, and Mnie paid it no need. She
had made herself clear.
