Chapter 391


    After George took the money, he disappeared for a few days.


    Mnie had been thinking about Eugene’s offer recently, George and Dn were in the same boat. She did not want to get


    involved with them ever again, so she had not gone to look for


    them.


    Besides, this might not be able to solve the problem once and for all.


    It was even more impossible to take care of the loan sharks.


    “Mnie, what’s wrong? Why do you look like you have a lot on your mind these days?” Reny’s voice brought Mnie back to


    her senses.Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.


    She looked at Reny. “It’s nothing. | was just thinking about something.”


    “Is it about your grandfather? It should be fine, | asked one of my aunts, and she said that as long as his body doesn’t reject the


    surgery for half a month, he''ll probably be fine. He just has to get enough rest.”


    Mnie nodded but said nothing.


    That day, she stayed in the north side until evening before returning to the vi,


    At the end of the day, it was still not safe there. Xander and the others were all against Mnie returning to live there now.


    The department took advantage of the situation. After Burning Star and Blue Inc reached an agreement, they still decided to sign


    a deal with Burning Star, so Xander and the others had been intensifying their efforts to revise the proposal.


    As a newbie to this field, Mnie was put in charge of logistics.


    She was going out shopping today, and Reny hade out with her. Reny followed Mnie with the shopping bags in her hand,


    saying tentatively, “Mnie, if you need anything, you can talk to the boss. He should be able to help you.”


    “Although he has cut ties with his family, he’s quite capable. Otherwise, he couldn’t have brought us to where we are today.”


    Mnie nodded and did not refuse her kind offer. “I know. If | ever need help, I''ll tell him.”


    “Actually, the boss is a decent catch. He’s good-looking, well-educated, well-off, and kind. Mnie, maybe-”


    Before Reny could finish that thought, Mnie interrupted her. “Reny.”


    Reny paused.


    Mnie asked, “The contract with LeapCo hasn''t been signed yet. Will that affect our progress?”


    She was obviously trying to change the subject.


    Reny gave her a wryugh and a helpless look. “Mnie, you''ve been asking me that question every time you try to change the


    subject these days.”

    “I''m just a little worried about it.”


    Rainie shook her head. “You just don’t want us to match you with Xander.”


    Mnie was silent. After a moment, she sighed softly. “I’m not in the mood to think about romance right now. Xander is a great


    guy, so don’t make these jokes at his expense.”


    Was she rejecting any possibility of dating him? Reny felt sorry for Xander for a moment.


    All of them had been friends with Xander for many years, so they could tell he was clearly interested in her. It was just that


    Mnie was clearly not in the mood for romance right now.


    Things wereplicated on his mother’s side too, so Xander probably did not want to implicate Mnie in his mess.


    Rainy sighed inwardly. They were both such sticks in the mud.


    When they returned to the vi, neither of them said anything. However, they bumped into someone unexpected.


    Ste walked around the corner with a dignified middle-aged woman in tow. They came from the direction of the hot springs, and


    she frowned automatically when she saw Mnie.


    Ca, on the other hand, was slightly surprised. She asked Ste, “Isn’t that Eugene’s girlfriend?”


    Ste looked displeased. “What girlfriend?”


    Ca sensed her attitude and smiled. “Sorry about that. | heard from Luna that Eugene has had quite a few partners in the past


    few years. Come on, don’t hover over him too much or he''ll start to resent you.”
