While she was focused onparing data, Xander knocked on the door and entered. This study was practically Mnie’s
private space. Everyone had to knock before they entered.
Mnie looked up. “What’s up?”
Xander ced a small box in front of Mnie. “I went to see Cameron today. He asked me to give this to you.”
Mnie paused. The box contained Blue Inc’s newest product series. She had casually mentioned her interest in it thest time
she saw Cameron.N?velDrama.Org content.
“He’s quite considerate.”
The moment she said that, a book was ced in front of her. Xander looked at her with a lowered gaze. “Stop looking at the
computer. Come out for a break. Oliver and the others suggested going out for dinner tonight,” he said in a deep voice.
Mnie readily agreed to the suggestion but proceeded to usher him out after that. “I still have to discuss matters with Ca next
week. | need to finish this proposal.”
Familiar with that tone, Xander’s brows furrowed imperceptibly before he left.
While everything was peaceful on Mnie''s side, things were not going well elsewhere.
Vi and Mason’s lunch had been an unpleasant affair, and to make matters worse, they encountered traffic on their way back
to LeapCo. Mason had invited her out unnned today, so Vi lied and said she had a client meeting in order to leave the
Office.
As soon as she entered thepany, she overheard discussions among her colleagues that Eugene’s grandfather was in the
Office.
Vi was stunned. “Eugene’s grandfather is here?”
Her recent reputation in the secretary''s office was not good. Her work was subpar, and her temper was not great either. She
acted as though she was the boss‘ wife. She frequently arrivedte and left early, often delegating her work to others.
Yana nced at her andmented somewhat sarcastically, “Why don’t you know that Mr. Scott’s grandfather is here? Thinking
about it, it does look like the family prefers Mnie.”
Yana was clearly trying to provoke Vi. However, the people around them were acting as if they did not hear anything. After all,
Vi had not been in the secretary’s office for long, and no one had been forced to work overtime because of her.
Vi naturally caught the sarcasm in Yana’s words, but she could not be bothered. In her mind, she was Eugene’s legitimate
girlfriend, so she would eventually meet his grandfather. Besides, she might not be inferior to Mnie.
When she went upstairs, Vi deliberately tidied up her appearance and went to the pantry to brew a cup of tea. She then
entered Eugene’s office with it.
Eugene was indeed not there as he had a social engagement in the afternoon.
Putting on a sweet and understanding smile on her face, Vi adjusted her voice to be gentler. “Mr. Henry, | brewed you some
tea.
Henry had been resting with his eyes closed, but when he heard her voice, he paused before opening his eyes.
Vi froze in ce immediately. When she entered, she saw Henry resting with his eyes closed, looking kind and benevolent.
She assumed he would be a gentle and amiable old man. However, when he opened his eyes, there was no kindness in his
eyes. Instead, they were sharp and piercing.
Vi was momentarily at a loss for words.
Leaning on his cane, Henry looked at her and asked, “Who are you?”
Vi stammered, “I-I’m Mr. Scott''s secretary.”
“Since you''re his secretary, why are you calling me Mr. Henry?”
The old man, who had once led the Scott family to glory, had an imposing aura when serious.
Vi felt uneasy under his gaze, and her palms were sweaty. “I-I’m also Eugene’s girlfriend,” she muttered.
She thought that after saying that she was Eugene’s girlfriend, Henry’s attitude might soften a bit. Just as she was preparing to
speak again with a moreposed expression, she heard Henry say in a deep voice, “I''ll give you a million to leave Eugene.”
