Eugene looked at her with a frown. “What do you mean?”
Mnie smiled sarcastically. “Maybe you should ask Vi about this. She’s such a loyalist to LeapCo. Even now, she’s still trying to get justice for LeapCo.”
When Mnie tried to exin things to Harvey, Vi kept interrupting her at suitable moments to use LeapCo as an example of their victim. The way Vi described it sounded like Burning Star had
caused LeapCo a lot of suffering.
Mnie was reminded of the night before when Eugene received Vi’s message. He had left quickly after seeing it, and Mnie could not help giving him an even more sarcastic look.
She put her phone away and walked past Eugene as she headed outside.
Eugene frowned as he watched her leave. He looked down after a while, and a frosty look appeared on
his stoic face.
Mnie had gone outside to call Xander. She exined what happened with Harvey, and Xander was
silent.
After a while, he said in a deep voice, “Harvey Grant is not a man of good character. Don’t get in too
much contact with him. Wait for me toe over.”
Mnie hesitated. “But it looks like he’s really against Burning Star. What if he continues this attitude? I’m a little worried about it.”
Xander consoled her, “He’s not the one in charge of Redwaves. You don’t need to worry too much
about him.”
Even though Xander kept telling her not to worry about this, Mnie was not able to let this go. She
returned to the conference hall with a troubled look.
Harvey was determined not to include Burning Star in the tender, but Mnie did not want to give up just like that.
She had met plenty of difficult clients before. One more would not make a difference.
Moreover, Burning Star’s capabilities were well–recognized by the industry.
However, Harvey’s attitude and Vi’s actions resulted in many people throwing her strange nces.
Yvette had a good rtionship with Mnie. She approached Mnie to ask, “Did something happen between Burning Star and Mr. Grant? He’s obviously working against you.”
Mnie pinched between her eyes and said nothing. Yvette continued in a whisper, “But I think you should show more concern for Mr. Scott. That dainty assistant just walked off with him. I saw them speaking quite intimately when I walked out.”
Her words made Mnie pause a moment before she slowly raised her eyes. “What does this have to
do with me?”
Yvette said, “Stop pretending. I know there’s more to your rtionship from the way Mr. Scott keeps hovering over you with concern.”
“Mr. Scott is handsome, rich, and has a great body. He’s a pretty good catch.” Yvette patted Mnie’s shoulder and sighed. “Do you know how difficult it is to find a man like that nowadays?”
Mnie did not continue this topic with Yvette. All she cared about was how to change Harvey’s impression of Burning Star.
That safety incident was an ident she could not change because it was true that it happened.
Mnie continued worrying about this even until the conference was over.
Fuller and Eric came over to console her. She nodded as she thanked them.
She did not expect to bump into Eugene and Vi together when she walked out.
Since bumping into Eugene at the door, she had not seen him. It looked like he had been with Vi all
this time.
They were on the balcony at the corner of the corridor on the first floor. As the washroom was being cleaned upstairs, Mnie had to head downstairs instead. She did not expect to catch sight of Vi pushing herself up against Eugene.
They were probably too upied with each other to notice her.
Mnie turned around and did not continue going forward as she walked away.
She did not want to make things awkward.
However, Mnie did not know that Eugene took a step back the moment she left. He put some distance between himself and Vi.
His attitude toward her was very cold. “Where’s the file you said Mason Gray gave you?”
