Mnie hung up right away. Howard’s words sounded like a joke to her.


    He initially insisted that Mnie broke up with Eugene, but he suddenly had a change of heart. Howard must have found out about Eugene’s identity from someone and felt that he might benefit from this.


    A sarcastic look shed in her eyes. Howard surprised her.


    Mnie’s eyshes fluttered downward, hiding her eyes and the emotions in them. She wanted to look for Fuller. She turned, only to see Vi standing not far away. It looked like she had been waiting for Mnie.


    Vi approached Mnie when she noticed Mnie looking at her. She stopped right in front of Mnie and looked up as she waited for Mnie to speak.


    Mnie looked back at her stoically and asked coldly, “Is there anything you need from me?”


    An unhappy look shed across Vi’s face. She gave augh and said, “I heard that Burning Star wants to take part in Redwaves‘ tender. I’m working with Mr. Grant now, Mnie.”


    She looked at Mnie while she spoke and could not hide the delight in her eyes. Vi acted like she was much more superior than Mnie was.


    Mnie understood what Vi was trying to do. She was here to unt her newfound power at Mnie. After all, Burning Star had to wait for Redwaves to choose them.


    It was no wonder that Vi was acting so arrogantly.


    Mnie said calmly, “What are you trying to say? That it’ll take only one word from you for Mr. Grant not to consider Burning Star?”


    Vi frowned when Mnie reacted in a nonchnt manner without revealing any emotions.


    She tried to hold back the anger burning inside her as she stared at Mnie. Vi raised her voice slightly.


    “I’m just trying to be nice enough to remind you that Burning Star has a bad reputation in Jepton. A bigpany like LeapCo will be able to testify that something serious did happen because of Burning


    Star.<b>” </b>


    Vi sniggered as she gained more confidence to continue, “You should stop sitting on your high horse in front of me and think about how to make Mr. Garner change his opinion of Burning Star.‘


    Mnie replied with ease, “There’s no need for you to be worried about Burning Star<b>.</b>‘

    ))


    Her attitude was neutral, and she was not as anxious or in despair as Vi had imagined.


    Vi nced at Mnie again and left in a huff.


    Yvette came over the moment Vi left. “What did Miss Shaw want with you? She doesn’t look like she’s a very nice person. Was she here to find trouble with you?”


    Mnie asked, “Can you tell a person’s personality by looking at their faces?”


    “Well, I’m not bad at it,” Yvette replied yfully. She pointed in Eric’s direction.


    “Eric said that Mr. Fuller is looking for you, but he didn’t want to disturb you while you were on the phone. Mr. Fuller got called away by someone after that. You should look for himter.”


    Mnie gave an affirmative reply and said nothing else. Her phone vibrated.


    She looked down and saw that it was a message from Howard. He had sent her a location. It was probably where he wanted Mnie to take Eugene for dinner.


    Mnie ignored the message and put away her phone.


    Yvette nced at her. “Are you in a bad mood?”


    Mnie looked up toward Eric and said, “I’m going over to see Mr. Fuller.”


    Howard got extremely anxious when she did not reply to his message.


    He stood in the corridor and stared at his phone while waiting for Mnie to reply. He kept ncing at the private room beside him.


    It had been such a coincidence. Howard was meeting a few business associates for a meal when he bumped into Sam Walsh.


    Sam was not someone Howard could meet easily. He initially nned to approach Sam with a friend to try and get associated with him but realized that Eugene was next to him.
