Chapter 481

    Chapter <b>481 </b>


    Henry was looking at Vi when he said <b>this</b><b>, </b>and it was obvious who he was referring <b>to</b><b>. </b>


    Vi bit <b>her </b>lip. She looked <b>upset</b><b>, </b><b>but </b><b>she </b>lowered her head <b>to </b>hide the unhappiness in her


    <b>eyes</b><b>. </b>


    Eugene’s voice was deep and calm. “She’s not feeling well. She almost passed <b>out </b>in <b>the </b>office.”


    Henry looked impatient<b>. </b>“That’s her business. Doesn’t she have any family or friends? Or even money to take a taxi?!”


    He was adamant as he said, “Landon, give Miss Shaw a hundred bucks and <b>get </b>her to take a taxi home!<b>” </b>


    Vi quivered from this almost humiliating treatment. Her hands fell on each side of her, and she clenched them hard.


    Eugene frowned. The look in his dark eyes deepened.


    He was silent for a while before looking at Mnie. <b>“</b>Do you need me to see you home?”


    <b>It </b>sounded like a question<b>, </b>but Mnie knew Eugene well enough to know that he would not ask her this question if he wanted to take her home.


    He wanted her to reject his offer <b>by </b>asking her the question.


    Mnie did not want to see Vi’s pale face any longer. She handed the medicine she took from the dispensary over to Landon. “Mr. Henry’s medication is all here. The instructions are written on it. Keep it well, Landon.”


    She looked at the furious Henry and paused before saying, “I need to meet a client, Mr. Henry. I won’t <b>be </b>able to apany you. Rest well and remember what the doctor told you<b>.</b><b>” </b>


    Henry frowned. He wanted Mnie <b>to </b>stay<b>, </b>but he choked back on his words when he saw the <b>cold </b>look on her face<b>. </b>


    He <b>kept </b>quiet until Mnie left.


    After that, he red furiously at Eugene. <b>“</b>Look at what you’ve done<b>, </b>you good–for–nothing!”


    Eugene took the medicine from Landon and asked, “Where’s Grandpa’s medical report?”


    Vi waspletely ignored<b>, </b>and she did not dare <b>say </b>a word. She was afraid of being insulted by Henry again<b>, </b><b>but </b>at the same <b>time</b><b>, </b>she was not happy about being ignored.


    She gently tugged <b>on </b>Eugene’s clothes and said in a small voice, “I’m going in for a CT scan, Eugene. You should apany Mr. <b>Henry</b>,”


    Eugene’s <b>expression </b>was cold. <b>He </b>nodded and said nothing.


    Vi’s eyes were filled with grievance<b>, </b>but she hid it when <b>she </b>met Henry’s sharp look.


    She sniffled. “<b>I’ll </b>take a taxi home <b>by </b><b>myself</b><b>. </b><b>You </b>should <b>see </b>Mr. Henry home<b>.</b><b>” </b>


    Eugene replied<b>, </b>“Alright.”


    Vi choked back <b>a </b>sob. <b>“</b><b>You </b><b>don’t </b>need <b>to </b>worry <b>about </b>me. I’m fine <b>now</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>


    Eugene did not say anything to her.


    Even though Vi did not really want <b>to </b>leave, she could only <b>go </b>after Eugene gave her a nonchnt reply.


    It was only after Vi had left that Henry berated Eugene, “How blind are you to think that woman is actually someone worth being with when she’s an embarrassment?”


    Eugene replied in a low voice, “When she passed out in the office, our partners in Oskon City and the non–profit organization were at LeapCo.”


    Henry’s expression turned grim. “What do you mean?”


    Eugene was a little frustrated. “Bernard Qaisa will be returning to Oskon City in two days. <b>It’ll </b>be difficult to meet him again after that.”


    Vi had chosen a bad time to pass out at the office. Eugene was supposed to meet Bernard for a business meeting as LeapCo was nning to expand in Oskon City. The best way to do that was to work with the Qaisas.


    Eugene could have gotten someone else to take Vi to the hospital.


    However, the non–profit organization was there, and the Qaisas had done a lot of charity work. Eugene had initiated a connection with Bernard via charity work as well.


    When Vi was helped up to the office, she had deliberately named Eugene to apany her to the hospital.


    LeapCo had spent years building up an image that was only recently recognized by the public. If an employee was sick and Eugene had chosen to ignore her, it would have left a bad impression on the organization.


    Henry immediately understood what had transpired. He said coldly, “Can’t you do anything right?”
