It was more tiring handling the blind date brigade than entertaining business clients. By the time
Mnie managed to make her escape, the party had already started.
She walked into the party with Xander and immediately noticed Eugene standing next to the dance
floor. A nice–looking woman with delicate features was standing next to him. That must be his date.
Eugene’s preference had not changed much. He had always had a thing for good girls who looked
adorable. It was probably because such women were easier to control.
He had spotted Mnie as well. She had taken off the coat, and everyone could see her sexy body.
She moved about carefreely on the dance floor.
The only thing that was sore to the eyes was the hand on her waist. Eugene’s expression turned
darker.
Mnie had never been enthusiastic about dancing. She only ended up dragging Xander to the dance
floor because one of thedies from the blind date brigade who was friendly with her kept pushing her
to dance.
She put on the coat again and was about to walk away to give Yvonne a call to remind her to put Merry
to bed when a waiter came over with a tray in his hand. He did not see hering and identally
spilled juice onto Mnie.
Fortunately, she still had Xander’s coat on her, so it did not stain her dress. Her dress was made out of
thin material, and it was light–colored. It would have been embarrassing if she had gotten juice on it.
The waiter was shocked and fumbled as he apologized. The juice had spilled on most of the coat.
Mnie had to take it off to avoid dirtying her dress.

She looked at the stains on the coat but did not me the waiter for it. After all, there were quite a lot of
people at the party.
The only troublesome thing about this was that Xander’s coat had been dirtied. Xander had been called
away by a friend, and she could only get the waiter to bring her a bag.
While she was waiting, a woman came over. Mnie nced at her and found her a little familiar. She
immediately remembered that this was the young woman with Eugene earlier.
Mnie turned away, but the young woman began speaking to her, “Excuse me, please.”
She turned to see the young woman holding a te. She was trying to get some cake.
Mnie moved to the side, and the young woman spoke up again, “Thank you. I saw you just now.
You’re really pretty.”
She smiled so widely that her eyes turned into little crescents. She looked like a little fox. “You’re even
prettier than the photos.”
Mnie was taken aback. “What photos?”
“Thepany’s team–building photos. Yana showed them to me, but she said you left thepany a
long time ago.
“Oh, by the way, my name is Dory Eastman. I’m an intern at LeapCo. I’m here with Mr. Scott for work.”
Mnie did not know her at all and was not interested in what she had to say.
She said to Dory, “Eugene Scott must be grooming you.”
As for what he was grooming her for, it was hard to say.
Dory admitted it graciously. “It’s only right that he should groom me.”
After all, she and Eugene were distant rtives, and their families had business connections. That was
why her father arranged for her to learn and experience from Eugene.
Mnie had mentioned it casually and was not really nning on getting any reply. However, Dory did
not notice that Mnie was just humoring her.
Dory even took out her phone without hesitation. “Let’s keep in contact. Yana told me that to be Mr.
Scott’s most trusted secretary. I’d like to learn from you.”

Mnie rejected her immediately. Dory looked a little disappointed but quickly looked up. She called
out earnestly, “Mr. Scott.”
Eugene was here for work, and he had gone to entertain some business acquaintances. He was
drinking with them, so there was a light scent of alcohol on him.
His gaze paused on Mnie for a while before he asked Dory nonchntly, “What are you doing
here?”

Dory replied, “I’m here to learn from your ex–employee.”
