    Evelyn made Mnie drive to a shopping mall.


    She said, “There’s a restaurant there that I’ve always wanted to try, but no one would apany me. How about going there with me, Eugene?”


    Eugene looked at his phone. He replied, “It’s up to you.”


    “Miss Smith.” Evelyn was in a good mood after hearing Eugene’s reply. She turned to Mnie and gave her a big smile. “Can you wait outside for us until we’re done with lunch? That restaurant is a dining ce for couples. It’s not appropriate for you to eat there with us.”


    Eugene’s fingers paused while fiddling with his phone. Frowning, he looked at Evelyn. “It’s a restaurant for couples?”


    “Why? Can’t you eat there?” Evelyn asked.


    Eugene turned off his phone and nced at Mnie. Nodding, he said, “Sure I can.‘


    Mnie could sense the cold nce in Eugene’s eyes. She pressed her lips. Eugene must be warning her not to tell Vi about this.


    However, she was not close to Vi at all.


    There was no way Mnie would share such stories with her.


    Eugene and Evelyn entered the restaurant while Mnie found a random ce to have lunch.


    Mnie did not have enough rest the night before and had suffered from Eugene’s wrath today. She was feeling quite exhausted.


    She ordered something random and took a few bites of her lunch. All she wanted was to find somewhere to have some rest.


    After a short moment of peace, a message suddenly popped up on her phone.


    Xander, who had vanishedst night, had sent her the message. He informed her that Stephen had reached out to him and he wanted to know if Mnie would like to meet him since he was


    free.


    Mnie thought about this. She felt that Eugene and Evelyn would probably be spending more time together, so she agreed to meet Xander.


    Xander happened to be nearby, and he told Mnie to wait for him at the restaurant.


    Mnie agreed and sent a thank you message to Stephen.


    Stephen replied very quickly. He left her a voice message. “Xander is very talented in this field. It’s not a bad thing for you to engage him and get to know more about this industry.”


    He had a warm voice, and it was clear that he was thinking on her behalf. Mnie was about to thank him again when she heard him say, “If you really want to thank me, buy me a meal when you return.”


    Mnie put her phone away after replying to Stephen’s voice message. That was when she saw a young man walk into the restaurant.


    The man was very tall, and he was wearing a white shirt and pants. His legs were long and slender, and he looked just like a model.


    He attracted lots of attention the moment he entered. Mnie quickly looked away after ncing at him. After all, it was rude to stare at someone.


    The man looked around the restaurant, and surprisingly, he went straight toward Mnie before stopping right in front of her.


    “Xander Soloman.” The man’s voice was maic. He reached out to knock the table in front of Mnie as he looked down at her. His expression was calm as he asked, “Mnie Smith?”


    Mnie was taken aback.


    She could not look at his face clearly when Xander was standing at a distance just now. She only sensed that there was something different about this man and he was very good–looking.


    Now that he was right in front of her, she noticed that Xander had a pair of very pretty almond -shaped eyes. He had a red mole right below the end of his right eye.


    It made him look distant.


    Mnie breathed in sharply as she looked at Xander. Her intuition told her that this man was not someone to be trifled with.
