Chapter <b>393 </b>
Mnie’s eyshes lifted slightly. “I have nothing to do with them anymore. Do whatever you want.”
Eugene <b>sized </b>her up with <b>his </b>deep eyes. There <b>seemed </b>to be some kind <b>of </b>emotion brewing in them. He took back the USB before nodding. “Okay.”
Mnie nodded. “Anything else<b>?</b>”
She did not particrly like LeapCo or Eugene right now.
Eugene paused. Then<b>, </b>he raised his eyebrows and said coldly<b>, </b>“I told you before that if you want to stand at the top<b>, </b>you have to harden your heart to everyone<b>.</b>”
His eyes were dark<b>, </b>suppressing emotions Mnie could not understand. “But <b>you </b>never took my advice to heart.”
Mnie looked puzzled for a moment. She thought she heard Eugene sigh.
It sounded almost like a fleeting feeling of helplessness.
No, she must have misheard him. Mnie pursed her lips and walked out of the office.
Mnie returned to the vi for the second time that day. When she got back, Xander and the others were preparing a barbecue.
Reny greeted her with a bottle of Coke. “<b>You’re </b>back just in time. I was going to call you and ask when you’d be back.”
Mnie felt as if she were suffering from motion sickness. Her head was spinning. “<b>You </b>guys can go ahead without me,” she said in a small voice.
With that, she went upstairs. Reny watched her go, hesitant.
A deep and charismatic <b>voice </b>came from beside her. “Let her rest.”
Reny turned to look at Xander. When she saw that there was no expression on his <b>face</b><b>, </b>she could not help but remind him softly, “Boss<b>, </b><b>I </b><b>can </b>tell that Mnie’s been going through a rough time recently. Try <b>to </b>show her some concern when <b>you </b>have the <b>time</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>
After saying that<b>, </b>she added, “Don’t wait until she ends up with someone <b>else</b><b>. </b>Then you’ll really regret it.”
Xander looked <b>up </b>at her<b>, </b><b>pondered </b>for a moment, and stood up <b>silently</b>.
Mnie <b>slept </b>in a daze. She <b>felt </b>like she <b>was </b>in a dream<b>. </b>
Eugene’s <b>voice </b>kept ringing in her ears. “I told <b>you </b>before that <b>if </b>you want to stand <b>at </b><b>the </b>top<b>, </b>you have to harden your heart to <b>everyone</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>
Mnie remembered Eugene’s words very <b>clearly</b>. She could even remember when <b>he </b>had said them.
At the time, his rtionship with his family was beginning to improve, ever so slightly.
Eugene had to go home for Ste’s birthday, and Mnie could not apany him because she suddenly had to work overtime at thepany. She could only pick him up after her work was done.
The Scott family vi was far away. There were many trees in the area <b>for </b>beautifying purposes, as a result, the entire <b>road </b>was very dark.
but
Eugene knew that Mnie could not see well at night and had never allowed her to drive <b>to </b>the family vi alone at that hour. However, he had drunk a lot that night and had no choice.
As long as she drove slower at night, though<b>, </b>there was nothing to be afraid of. However, when Mnie picked up Eugene<b>, </b>she realized how drunk he was.
that night,
He reeked of alcohol, and his usually clear eyes were stormy. He looked a little scary.
Mnie could not <b>see </b>clearly to begin with<b>, </b>and Eugene reminded her to be careful. However, she was <b>so </b>worried about Eugene that she drove straight into the grass beside the road for some reason.
The person beside her groaned. Mnie was suddenly at a loss. She panicked and tried <b>to </b>reverse the car out of the shrubs.
However, before she could step on the elerator<b>, </b>someone grabbed her hand and pulled her into an
embrace that reeked of alcohol.
Before she could react, Eugene was on top of her.
With one arm around her waist and the other on the back of her head, he kissed her hard and fast, <b>as </b>
if he wanted nothing more than to melt Mnie into his body.
The moment their lips collided, it was as if they were fighting a war. He attacked forcefully, and she defended helplessly.
