When Mnie went back to the office after lunch, she bumped into Lee at the door of the conference room. He was carrying
another takeout box.
Yvetteughed when she saw him. “Are you here to treat everyone to coffee on behalf of Mr. Scott again?”
Lee cleared his throat awkwardly. “The summit is about to end, so Mr. Scott just wanted to express his gratitude. He also hopes
that LeapCo will have the opportunity to work with you again.”
Yvette wrinkled her nose in disgust. “Don’t clear your throat into the coffee!”
The truth was LeapCo’s employee benefits alone proved that Eugene was an understanding boss. At the very least, he earned
his employees’ loyalty.
Lee handed everyone in the conference room a cup of coffee, but he ran out when he reached Mnie. Instead, he leaned into
her ear and said in a low voice, “Mr.
Scott said that he would treat you to a meal after the matter with is over. For
now, you two shouldn''t be seen together.”
He made it sound as if Eugene was worried about her.
Mnie paused. “No, that’s not necessary.”
Lee started to say something, then stopped. He stood beside Mnie, not moving
away.
Mnie could only look at him. “Do you have anything else to say?”
Lee held his tongue for a long moment before saying, “Mr. Scott says you can’t say no.”
Mnie’s face hardened instantly.
Yvette, who was watching from the side, could not stand it anymore. She mmed down the coffee in her hand in disdain and
said exasperatedly, “What is Mr. Scott ying at? He treated us all to coffee but didn’t get one for Mnie. Instead, he''ll treat her
to a meal with or without her consent?!
“Has he been watching too many millionaire soap operas?!”
Mnie was not too pleased, either. She ced her things on the table and looked directly at Lee. “Are you sure Eugene was
the one who made you buy this coffee?”
She knew Eugene’s personality very well. He may treat his employees to coffee. but he would never make such special
exceptions in public.
Chapter 693
He always kept work separate from his private life.
Even if he knew that Mnie was pregnant and could not have coffee, he would have treated everyone to a different drink
instead.
Embarrassed, Lee looked at Mnie, not knowing how to exin. Even so, Mnie already understood.
She said calmly, “Please tell Henry not to do this again. He shouldn''t interfere too much in our private affairs.”N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.
Lee still felt guilty when he arrived on the first floor. Henry had given him these explicit instructions when he found out about the
current situation between Mnie and Eugene.
No matter how many times Lee refused, Henry insisted, saying that none of them understood Mnie the way he did-
Leeposed himself and entered the conference room on the first floor. He looked up to see Eugene sitting in his seat, looking
at him impartially..
Lee’s heart tightened in his chest. He took a few steps forward and saw Eugene’s cold expression.
Before he could even speak, Eugene said tly, “You’re embarrassing yourself.” Lee fell silent.
As he tried to defend himself, another familiar spoke up. “Hello, Eugene.” Lee immediately hid the expression on his face and
turned to look at Vi.
On the other hand, Vi only had eyes for Eugene. She gritted her teeth and forced a barely—decent smile. “Eugene, | need to
talk to you alone about something. It has to do with Rockwater.”
