Chapter 447


    Mnie did not think much of the brief encounter with Mason.


    She had just taken over Burning Star’s business department and was swamped with work every day.


    Burning Star was already quite famous overseas. Coupled with the fact that they had worked with the department and Blue Inc


    as soon as they returned to Jepton, many people wanted to work with the studio. Mnie had been busy dealing with their


    various proposals.


    Eugene still had not made LeapCo’s stance clear. Xander took Terence off the job and put Oliver in charge of the location


    instead.


    When the project officially started, Mnie went to the site with Oliver because she needed to take some photos as well.


    Oliver sighed along the way. “Boss said that Terence will probably be fired this time. A safety incident is no joke.”


    They had installed surveince cameras at the construction site to watch out for theft, and the cameras caught Eugene’s


    ident clear as day. It was undeniably Terence’s fault.


    Mnie was not particrly perturbed by the news. Burning Star was a designpany, after all. No one would work with them


    if they could not guarantee the safety of the construction site.


    Moreover, she still remembered how dangerous it was that day.


    If it were not for Eugene, the copsed ster strips would have all fallen on her. She would. have suffered much more grievous


    injuries than the wound on Eugene’s hand-


    Xander acted quickly. After Mnie finished taking photos and returned to the office, she saw that Terence had already packed


    up his things and left.


    Mnie frowned. “Have you fired him already? What about thepany’s designs that he’s in charge of? Won''t there be a


    problem?”


    Design leaks were the worst possible thing that could happen to a creativepany. Mnie. was not familiar with Terence and


    did not know what his personality was like. She had only heard Oliver mention that Terence had been recruited. However, he


    was usually quite boring and did not like to hang out with the others. He preferred to go to the construction site whenever


    possible instead.


    Xander said, “Our initial contract with him covered the issues with safety. He was the one who broke the terms first.”


    Since Xander said so, Mnie felt a little more assured. She nodded. “As long as it’s taken care of. | wouldn''t want anything


    untoward toe out of this.”


    Xander’s eyebrows rxed. He looked down at Mnie’s tense face and suddenly said, “Why do | feel like keeping you here is a


    waste of your talent?”N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    Mnie raised her gaze and said seriously, “I should be the one thanking you guys for being willing to ept me even though |


    don’t know anything. You taught me a lot.”


    Xander was slightly taken aback when he heard Mnie’s serious tone. After a while, he could


    not hide the smile in his eyes. He suppressed a lowugh in his throat. “Alright, then I’ll live up to your expectations, my


    strongest recruit. | will work hard to expand the studio so that you won''t be poached by others.”


    Originally, Mnie had only wanted to warn Xander of the consequences of firing Terence so quickly, but she did not expect her


    worries toe true.


    On Wednesday morning, not long after Oliver left the office, he called Xander. His tone was troubled. “Boss, some people from


    LeapCo are here. They said that we broke the terms of agreement. They’re making a fuss about terminating the contract and


    asking us topensate them.”


    At that moment, Mnie and Xander were discussing something. When she heard Oliver’s words, she frowned. “Why would


    LeapCo say that at a time like this


    Xander’s expression darkened. “Let’s go take a look first.”


    It would not be good for Burning Star if LeapCo asked to dissolve the partnership at this point.


    It might even cause the otherpanies that were interested in cooperating withdraw.


    with them to


    Mnie did not say anything on the way over. She kept thinking about how to talk to Eugene. However, when they arrived at the


    scene, they realized that Eugene was not there at all. It was Vi.


    Terence was beside her. His usually dull expression looked even more wooden than usual. When he saw Xander approaching


    him, he subconsciously avoided Xander’s gaze.
