Mnie nced into the car casually and overheard Vi’s charming voice. “Eugene, you’re hurting me.”


    She was pressed against Eugene, her head resting on his chest. Her hands were holding Eugene’s wrist. If it were not for the inappropriate time and ce, it might have been an image of affection.


    Sensing Mnie’s gaze, Vi looked up at her a bit awkwardly and said, “My hair got caught on Eugene’s clothes.”


    There was a smile in her eyes that made it unclear if the embarrassment was genuine or feigned.


    Mnie had no interest in observing how Vi’s hair was entangled with Eugene’s clothes and just turned her head to the other side.


    After fussing about inside the car for a bit, Eugene and Vi finally got out. Vi’s face was a little flushed as she tightly held onto Eugene’s arm. Clearing her throat, she said, “Sorry, Eugene was worried about pulling my hair, so he took it slow.”


    The branch office was not as impressive as LeapCo’s headquarters, and the building looked quite old. Still holding onto Eugene’s hand, Vi suddenly asked, “Eugene, what if those people outside suddenly rush in?”


    The question sounded somewhat naive, and Eugene replied in a calm voice, “They won’t.”


    Vi persisted. “I’m just saying, what if.”


    “There’s no such possibility.”


    Despite the seriousness of Eugene’s response, Vi was dissatisfied. She turned to look at Mnie with a somewhat helpless expression. “Mnie, I really don’t know how you put up with him before.”


    Mnie was caught off guard at being brought into the conversation and instinctively frowned.


    Before she could say anything, she heard Vi answer herself, “Fortunately, you were just his secretary. If you were his girlfriend, you’d probably be driven crazy by his straightforward way of thinking.”


    Mnie’s steps paused. While Viined, her tone indicated a sense of joy. Mnie’s gaze shifted.


    No wonder Vi had dragged her into the conversation. She wanted to take the opportunity to remind Mnie that even in the past, she was only Eugene’s secretary and nothing more.


    Looking up, Mnie saw Vi holding Eugene’s arm. She withdrew her gaze and nonchntly took a few steps back.


    There was no particr reason for this reaction. She just found it all uninteresting. She was not Ste. She did not need Vi to report her love for Eugene to her all the time.


    After gaining a rough understanding of the situation at the branch office, they were about to take their leave when Mnie just stood where she was. “I’m going to the hospital, so I won’t


    be going with you.”


    Although Peachie was not directly rted to Mnie, she was, after <b>all</b>, just a young child.


    Unexpectedly, <b>Vi </b>immediately piped up and said, “<b>I’ll </b>go with you. You mentioned Peachie misses me, right?”


    Mnie was initially going to decline<b>, </b>but a thought shed through her head along with a hint of emotion in her eyes. She nodded in agreement.


    Vi <b>then </b>asked Eugene, “Eugene, do you want toe with us? Peachie is a very cute girl. I don’t know how she’s doing now, and I want to go see her.”


    When she heard this, Mnie nced at Vi again.


    Theodore brushed his nose and replied, “<b>I </b>happen to need to talk to the doctor about something. Eugene, do you want toe along?”


    Eugene nced at him, his expression unchanged. He nodded gracefully. “Sure.”


    Mnie was about to say something but held herself back. Eugene happened to look up at this moment. In that brief moment of eye contact, both of them understood each other without saying a word and silently looked away.
