Eugene tugged on his tie, and a look of frustration shed on his face. He clicked his tongue but said nothing.


    Mnie paused for a moment before continuing, “Mr. Levees is an important client for this project. Judging by his attitude, it looks like he needs more time to think about it.”


    Eugene’s dark eyes looked at her for a moment before he sneered and strode out of the meeting room.


    Mnie followed behind him. The moment they stepped out, they saw Joshuaing toward the meeting room.


    He paused in his footsteps when he saw Eugene. “Eugene,”


    Eugene asked, “Do you need anything?”


    “I’m here to see Mnie.” Joshua spotted Mnie behind Eugene and smiled at her. He walked past Eugene. “Do you have time tonight? I’d like to buy you a meal.”


    Mnie was surprised by his question. She frowned when she realized what he was asking.


    She was about to reject him when Joshua said with slight embarrassment, “It was my fault during the weekend, and I think I owe you an official apology. I was careless with you.”


    Joshua had thought about this excuse for a long time.


    He did not look at Eugene as it was over between him and Mnie. Besides, everyone knew that Eugene now had a girlfriend.


    Before Mnie could reply, Joshua heard Eugene’s cold voice.


    He said, “Are you here at LeapCo during office hours to date, Joshua Hewitt?”


    Joshua looked a little embarrassed as he replied quietly, “I’m just asking Mnie since I’m already


    here.”


    Eugene looked at Mnie. She looked calm.


    She replied impassively, “I’m sorry, I have to work overtime tonight.”


    Joshua had asked her out on a whim, but he knew that he was being rejected when he heard Mnie’s


    answer.


    He smiled in embarrassment. “Next time, then.”


    Mr. Levees and his team left not long after and Mnie went with Eugene to his office.


    They had just stepped into the elevator when Mnie’s phone rang. She took out her phone and saw


    that it was a message from Yana asking her if she wanted to order some afternoon tea.


    Mnie replied and looked up to see Eugene looking at her thoughtfully.

    His tone was a little casual as she said, “Miss Smit, you’re really good at socializing. When did you have such a close rtionship with Joshua?”


    Mnie pressed the elevator button and looked up at Eugene. “Is thepany interfering with my personal time?”


    Eugene narrowed his eyes. “Personal time?”


    “Isn’t it?” Mnie asked.


    Eugene did not reply. He looked down nonchntly after a while. He spoke in an impassive tone,” You really surprise me, Mnie Smith.”


    The elevator had a small space, and Eugene was much taller than Mnie was. When he looked emotionlessly at Mnie, it was quite intimidating.


    “Next time, don’t use working hours for your personal use.”


    Mnie’s fingers fidgeted. She pressed her lips and said nothing.


    She was not the one who brought this up in the first ce.


    Mnie followed Eugene back to the office and saw Vi standing outside his office door happily.


    She looked surprised when she saw Mnie appear with Eugene, but she quickly recovered.


    Mnie pretended not to notice and walked into the office with Eugene. She dutifully put together the meeting notes from the day and prepared to leave.


    Before she turned to walk out of the room, Eugene said nonchntly, “Handle Vi’s transfer to full-


    time staff.”
