When Eugene’s grandfather saw Eugene, he frowned. “Why isn’t Mel here? | brought her a gift.”


    Eugene took the luggage from the caretaker. “I''ll drive you back home.”


    His grandfather stared at him. “It seems that the rumor | heard is true.”


    “What rumor?” asked Eugene.


    His grandfather sneered. “| heard you fired Mel and you''re dating a new girl now.”


    He looked at Eugene as he said regretfully, “You’re a fool!”


    Eugene could not retort to an elder, so he only let his grandfather scold him. “Mel is the girl | want you to marry. Let me tell you,


    don’t learn from your father. That’s being foolish.”


    Mnie had no idea Eugene’s grandfather was praising her as soon as he got off the ne. She was still researching the project


    for Xander and Oliver.


    Although she was responsible for business negotiations, she still felt proud and happy for herself when she finished the proposal.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    After drafting it, Mnie took the proposal to LeapCo. She did not get to meet Eugene. Lee told her he was on a business trip


    and had not returned.


    Fortunately, the amended proposal was quickly approved, and everything was fine.


    However, Mnie was still worried and confirmed twice before leaving, “Are you sure it’s fine?”


    It would be troublesome if LeapCo looked for trouble again in the middle of the project.


    Lee assured her, saying, “I approved this ording to the terms Mr. Scott gave me, and I’ll send Mr. Scott a copy. If anything


    needs to be amended, I''ll contact you right away.”


    Only then did Mnie feel relieved. She was about to leave after bidding farewell but noticed Vi looking at her from the office.


    Mnie did not look away. She stared straight back at Vi.


    The amendment of the proposal dragged the progress of the project, giving them less time.


    Everyone went to help out at the site due to the renovations that needed to be done. Only Mnie was left in the vi, dealing


    with the documents.


    It was two dayster when Lee called her again. He was frank and told her why he called. LeapCo will check on the site again.”


    “Sure. When are youing? I''ll take you there,” asked Mnie straightforwardly.


    “Today at around 3:00 pm”


    Mnie looked at the time. “Should we meet at the site or LeapCo?”


    “We''ll pick you up.”

    Mnie thought it would be Lee and the others inspecting the site, yet it was Eugene.


    His ck yet luxurious Maybach pulled over outside the vi. Mnie thought he was here to look for ra.


    However, when the window rolled down, Eugene’s side profile appeared in front of her. He had his hand on the steering wheel


    and looked cold as ever. “Do | have to invite you to get into the car?”


    Mnie’s brows knitted together as she opened the car door.


    The scent of the car was still the same, fresh but mature.


    The two said nothing along the way.


    When Mnie got out of the car, Eugene said emotionlessly, “Grandpa is back.”


    Mnie stopped. She recalled the years she dated Eugene. No one in the Scott family liked her except for Eugene’s grandfather.


    However, he had to go abroad because of his health. Mnie never contacted him except for when sending him wishes during


    festive seasons.


    She asked, “How is his health now?”


    “Not bad.” Eugene’s voice was cold, and he did not show any emotion. “He brought you a gift. Visit him whenever you''re free.”


    Mnie was taken aback and subconsciously wanted to reject the offer.
