Chapter 329 Lover Boy


    I started chuckling inwardly as she leaned over Mnie. “Snit mying to deny it?”


    Quincy asked rather awkwardly. “Did | say something wrong?”


    “Do whatever you want,” Mnie said with a wave of her hand, hoping that would shut him up.


    “Cough, cough.”


    Jeffrey''s voice,ced with thinly-veiled frustration, sounded from behind. He cleared his throat, and said, “Are we taking the


    group photo or not?”


    “Of course, we are!”


    Mnie stood right in the middle, and Jeffrey stood on her right side. Everyone else around them automatically made space for


    him.


    Quincy seized the chance to stand to the left of Mnie. I saw what was happening, and swiftly took her


    spot on Jeffrey’s right side.


    All four of them had something up their sleeves.


    Snap!


    The group photo was finally taken.


    With the first day of the exhibition drawing to a close, as the main organizers, Mnie and Jeffrey personally bade goodbye to all


    their guests.


    When thest guest finally stepped out of the exhibition hall, Jeffrey immediately grabbed Mnie’s wrist and


    pulled her in his embrace.


    “ll warn Leo York to keep his distance from you. As for that fool Quincy, tell him yourself,” Jeffrey said, clearly


    bothered by what he heard from I.


    “Tell him what?” Mnie’s brow arched as she questioned him back. “What about Ms. Romero? Come to think of it, where did


    you put the health supplements she lovingly prepared for you?”


    “| didn’t ept it.”


    Jeffrey''s eyes twinkled as he indulged in Mnie’s cheeky expression.


    “Did you not ept it, or did you actually eat them all in secret?”


    Mnie felt his arms drawing her in tighter. “Do you want to test it out and see if I’ve be stronger from taking the


    supplements?”


    “Cut it out.”


    Mnie pushed him away, realizing that the clean-up crew was still around.


    Jeffrey held himself back, but his eyes were still aze. “I’ve walked through the entire exhibition, but still

    Mnie didn’t expect Jeffrey to be looking for the perfume. She evaded his gaze, but Jeffrey saw through her right away.


    While trying to hold back hisughter, he said, “It belongs exclusively to me, right? That’s why you don’t want to share it with


    others, right?”


    “You''re really confident about yourself now, aren’t you, President Morgan?”


    “When can | use the perfume that belongs exclusively to me?” He ignored her stubborn insistence, and asked her when she was


    nning to officially present it to him. “Why not tonight? We''ll go horne right now...”


    Their close proximity made Mnie blush. “I have something to attend to tonight, and won’t be going home. You go on ahead.”


    “What else do you have to attend to after being busy for an entire day?” Jeffrey said in disbelief.


    “I''m going to Elder Gibson’s studio. It’s too far for me to go home tonight,” Mnie said. She felt uneasy over his reaction, and


    wanted to look him up at his studio in Flora Ocean in Willowfort.


    “Must you go?” he asked.


    “Yes,” she said.Original content from N?velDrama.Org.


    “Fine. I''ll have the driver send you there,” Jeffrey said helplessly as he walked her to the door. He opened the door for her, and


    reminded, “Tomorrow night. I''ll wait for you.”


    The driver seated in front straightened his back. The president''s words were so suggestive, he didn’t want to look as if he were


    reading too much into it.


    Mnie blushed, and hurriedly closed the door. “Let''s go, sir.”


    Mnie arrived at Elder Gibson’s studio in no time.


    Elder Gibson''s assistant had guessed it right. Elder Gibson did close himself up in his perfume blending room. When Mnie


    entered the room, he was staring at the perfume concocted with emerald vine in a daze.


    “Heartless is the one who departs first, her mesmerizing figure vanishing without a trace. Heartbroken is the one who remains,


    chasing after a shadow that is long gone!” he mumbled to himself in anguish.


    “Devoted lovers really do exist in this world.”


    Elder Gibson realized that Mnie was here when she spoke. He turned around, and walked over to her with


    his hands behind his back. “What are you doing here at such ate hour?”


    “Trying to get free amodation,” Mnie said teasingly.


    Elder Gibson red jokingly at her, and she added, “People asked the heavens why regrets exist in life. The heavens reply: this


    world is full of regrets. People wouldn’t know what happiness is without regrets.”


    “Hmph,” Elder Gibson sneered as he mocked, “You know very much for your tender age!”


    “You''re right, Master. | might be young, but I’ve had multiple near-death experiences. Each time | thought I’d

    been through such traumatic experiences,” Mnie said with her chest puffed up.


    Elder Gibson''s eyes dimmed. That''s true, he thought. Yelena used to say the exact same thing.


    “Are you very curious about Yelena?” Elder Gibson asked.


    Mnie nodded without any hesitation.


    In the past, everyone around Elder Gibson shunned the topic to protect him, not wanting him to dwell on the pain of the past.


    Mnie thought otherwise-perhaps they should help release him from the pain in another way. Deliberately avoiding the topic


    seemed to be making things worse.


    “| know she’s from the Yorks, and that she died young. Other than that, I’ve never heard anything else about her.” Mnie said.


    Elder Gibson said with a wave of his hand, “Forget it! It’s all in the past, and | don’t want to dwell on it. If you’re curious, go ask


    Cece about it. They were good friends, and she knows everything about her.”


    “Cece?” That name wasn’t familiar to Mnie.


    “Jeffrey''s grandmother!” Elder Gibson snapped irritably.
