Mnie had underestimated Vi. During thete afternoon break, Vi appeared at the office door again, holding a notebook in her hand. Her eyes were still red, clearly indicating she had been crying.


    Standing in front of Mnie, her voice sounded nasally and muffled as she said, “Mnie, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have spoken like that at lunch.”


    Mnie furrowed her brows and looked up at Vi. She seemed sincere. “I won’t do that again. I just wanted to understand the chairman’s preferences to avoid mistakes in the future,”


    Her exnation seemed reasonable, and her attitude was right. Moreover, it was break time now. Most people were still in the office, making it awkward for Mnie to say anything more. She nodded and took Vi to the outdoor balcony.


    Vi listened attentively, and Mnie remained indifferent. What else could her reaction be? It was nothing more than the preferences of the chairman’s parents which had taken her a long time to piece together. Vi was learning it all in one go.


    Mnie found it somewhat rxing, however, which was not bad.


    Mnie made thest point, checked her phone, and said, “It’s time to get back to work.”


    “Mnie,” Vi called out, hands gripped around the notebook. She continued gently, “You…”


    She hesitated for a moment, and her next words never came. Mnie knew what she wanted to ask- how did Mnie learn about Cedric’s and Ste’s preferences?


    Looking into Vi’s inquisitive eyes, Mnie calmly replied, “It wasn’t Eugene who told me.”


    Vi breathed a sigh of relief. After thanking her, she left with her notebook.


    Mnie stood on the balcony for a while. Through the ss wall, she watched the vehiclese and


    go downstairs with a calm expression.


    Indeed, Eugene was not the one who disclosed Cedric’s and Ste’s preferences to her. Eugene had been busy dealing with LeapCo back then, and his rtionship with his family was strained.


    She foolishly believed that by winning the favor of Eugene’s parents, they might lend a helping hand to Eugene.


    Thus, her knowledge of their preferences was just the result of her repeated failures. Unfortunately, Eugene had perceived her actions as opportunistic.


    After spending some time on the balcony, Mnie finally went back inside. She organized the files she had not had a chance to deal with earlier during work thatte afternoon. Among them were several that needed to be submitted for Eugene’s review.


    She thought for a moment and called Yana. “Do you have anything to do right now?”


    “I need to go to the finance department. What’s up, Mnie?” she replied.


    Mnie shook her head and decided to take the files upstairs herself. When she arrived at Eugene’s office, he was engrossed in some documents. Mnie ced the files she was holding on his desk and said lightly, “I need your signature.”


    Hearing her voice, Eugene looked up for a moment. “Leave them here.”


    Knowing that the documents had to be submitted to the finance and operations departments, Mnie asked softly, “How long do I need to wait?”


    Eugene looked at her again, gaze dark. “I’m busy right now.”


    “Then, I’lle backter,” Mnie replied.


    Just as she said that and was about to turn around, she heard Eugene’s deep voice directed at her. ” Did you scold her?”


    The ‘her‘ he referred to could only be one person.


    Mnie’s expression remained unchanged. “Is telling her the truth considered a scolding?”


    There was no emotion in Eugene’s dark eyes as he looked at Mnie. “Is there any truth left in your words?”
