Due to the dy and the traffic along the way, Mnie was almostte when she arrived at the


    conference hall.


    She had originally nned to eat something quick for lunch, but it was toote now.


    As soon as she went upstairs, she saw Yvette walking out with a stormy expression. Mnie asked her, “Who pissed you off?”


    “Vi''s here,” Yvette snapped. “She started picking on me as soon as she got here. Urgh, | hate her


    mean sarcastic voice.”


    Mnie looked at Yvette even more curiously. Yvette was the type to fight back if Vi provoked her, so why did she leave the


    room?


    As soon as she went inside, Mnie saw Vi. Beside her stood Harvey and Yvette’s boss.


    No wonder Yvette was so frustrated and upset.


    Mnie nced at the group and turned around to look for Yvette.


    Yvette was livid. “She’s such a bootlicker! She even hinted that they haven''t sealed the deal with our.


    studio yet.”


    Mnie could guess why Vi was targeting Yvette. It was mostly because of her.


    She thought for a moment andforted Yvette softly. “I heard that Jackson Lowe ising back.”


    Yvette blinked for a moment, and her face lit up... only to fall again soon after. “Mr. Lowe is a tough customer, too. He’s famously


    strict, and he doesn’t like any one of us.”


    She sighed and was about to continueining when she was interrupted by a low voice.


    Eugene was holding a small takeout box in his hand. His eyshes were lowered, and he did not look at Mnie. Instead, he


    focused on the box and paused before saying, “It’s from Grandpa.”


    Mnie nced at the food he had brought. It was from a nearby store. She hesitated, reluctant to


    ept it.


    Eugene looked up, his eyes as calm as a quietke. “Grandpa is worried that you didn’t eat lunch. Skipping meals is not good for


    you.


    Thinking of how Grandpa had insisted on keeping her for lunch, Mnie hesitated for a moment before reaching out to ept


    the box. “Thank you.*


    Eugene’s furrowed brows rxed slightly. He nodded and did not say anything else, promptly leaving.


    Yvette watched from the side and clicked her tongue. “If | didn’t know better, I''d say he was your doting boyfriend.”


    “Don''t joke about that.”


    Chapter 700

    Yvette raised her eyebrows, her anger from before gone in an instant. She put her arm around Mnie’s shoulder and said to


    her seriously, “I’m serious, girl. People like him are great actors. Think about his history with Vi! You can’t let yourself be


    moved by these small favors.”Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Mnie’s eyes did not waver. She understood that better than Yvette.


    However, she could not just tell Yvette why.


    Mnie took her things and was about to enter the conference room when she looked up and met Vi’s gaze.


    Vi looked straight at Mnie, her eyes slowly moving down to the takeout box in her hand. Her pale, almost sickly face, was


    filled with undisguised hostility.


    Mnie might have gotten used to the look in Vi’s eyes, but she still did not like being stared at like that. Her expression


    darkened slightly. She was about to walk past Vi when thetter turned her gaze away first.


    The next second, Mnie heard her say, “Mr. Grant, when are we going to inform them that we''ve decided to reject Burning


    Star’s application?”
