When they turned to leave, Mnie could feel someone’s gaze on her, but she had no idea if it was


    Matthew or Eugene.


    When they entered the elevator, Hugh asked her, “Did I perform badly just now?”


    Mnie looked at him from the side. “What do you need to perform?”


    “Yvonne told me to be guarded against Eugene Scott. Should I have been more intimate with you in front of him?” Hugh asked thoughtfully.


    Mnie had no idea what Yvonne had told Hugh. She exined, “You don’t need to take Yvonne’s words so seriously.”


    “Alright,” Hugh replied and after that, there was silence between them.


    Hugh’s room was a floor above Mnie’s and Mnie got out of the elevator when she got to her


    floor.


    Compared to Eugene, Mnie was more concerned with Matthew.


    When their eyes met, Mnie had a strange feeling that Matthew knew who she was.


    Mnie had a lot on her mind and she was in a daze.


    She sat on the sofa for a long time as she went deep in thought, and she was feeling unsettled and frustrated.


    Mnie’s impression of Howard stopped in the Summer when she was fifteen.


    She had just graduated from junior high school and managed to get into one of the top high schools in the country. Mnie had secretly given Howard a call back then.


    Howard was no longer the warm and gentle person in her memory. He sounded forced and tired over


    the phone as he asked her what she wanted.


    He acted like such a stranger that Mnie had no idea what to say.


    However, she still happily informed Howard that she got into a really good high school. Howard was taken aback and he heaped praises on her.


    After that, he even sent two hundred to her.


    However, that was the only thing he did.


    His number became obsolete since then and Mnie could no longer contact him.


    Mnie tried to convince herself that the emotions she felt when seeing Matthew were not real, but…


    Herplicated thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door. Mnie calmed herself down and


    Eugene was standing there with a stoic expression when she opened the door.


    Mnie had taken off her coat when she returned to the room and she was wearing only her shirt. Her cor was unbuttoned and a small portion of her beautiful, slender neck was exposed.


    Eugene stared at her without a change in his expression and his voice was calm. “Have I disturbed you?”


    Mnie asked him, “What do you need?”


    She was clearly not in a good mood. She blocked the door and was not nning to let Eugene in.


    Eugene looked down and passed her a file. “I hope you can submit a report of the summit’s summary as soon as possible.”


    Mnie looked at the file. “It’s only been two days at the summit and you’re already expecting me to submit a summary report?”


    “I need to remind you that Mr Fuller’s portion of the report is stand-alone. His report matches the project LeapCo and Burning Star are working together on.”


    Eugene said this so naturally as if this was just a small and normal matter.


    Mnie took the file from him. There was aplicated look hidden deep inside Mnie’s eyes and she looked at Eugene hesitantly.


    She wanted to ask about Matthew.


    Eugene raised an eyebrow. His dark eyes saw through Mnie immediately. “Just say what’s on your mind.”
