    What about her?


    When Dn insisted on getting a divorce back then, why did she not think about how Mnie was still young and needed a father?


    Mnie suddenlyughed bitterly.


    After her parents got divorced, Mnie was sent to her grandfather. Neither of her parents wanted


    her.


    That was why her situation was never something for Dn to consider.


    When Mnie left the dpidated building, Dn was still crying in the living room with her face


    covered in her hands.


    Before she left, Mnie looked at the leftovers on the table silently. After that, she took out 500 from her purse and left it on the table before leaving.


    The sun was shining bright outside, but Mnie’s hands were cold.


    She had to return to the hospital that night for another IV drip, which was why Mnie decided to find a ce to rest nearby.


    Before Mnie found a suitable location, Xander called her on the phone.


    “Are you still in Hearth City?” Xander asked.


    “Yes, I am,” Mnie had now walked into a dessert shop. She ordered two cakes and a ss of warm


    water.


    “I’m at Hearth City’s airport right now.” Xander continued, “I need to talk to you about something.”


    Mnie asked, “What is it?”


    “Are you free right now? I’lle to see you and talk to you face–to–face. I need to meet a client tomorrow and can’t allocate any other time.” She could hear the airport’s broadcasting from the background noise of Xander’s call. He sounded quite urgent.


    Mnie told him where she was and waited for him.


    She did not touch the two cakes she had ordered. Mnie was not fond of sweet food and had walked


    in because the dessert shop was quiet.


    Xander arrived with his luggage still in hand. He must have rushed all the way here.


    Looking at Mnie, he frowned. “Are you sick?”


    “Just a slight fever.” Mnie lifted her hand to get the waiter’s attention. She asked Xander, “What would you like to drink?”


    Xander did not even look up as he focused on pulling out a document from his phone. He then handed his phone to Mnie. “Are you interested?”


    It was a business proposal for an exhibition project. Mnie read it and slowly frowned.


    The exhibition project was about the financial culture sector. Mnie finished reading it and asked Xander, “I didn’t know there were such exhibitions.”


    “There are, but they’re usually private, which is why they have to be more proper and business–like.” Xander tapped on the table and looked at her. “I think you’re the best person for this.”


    Mnie did not ept the offer immediately. She was hesitant. “I’ve got a lot on my te right now. I might not be able to catch with


    up your progress.<b>‘ </b>

    She had seen how Xander’s team worked and knew they were very efficient.


    Xander released two of his shirt’s buttons as he was feeling hot, and his Adam’s apple was exposed.


    His voice was maic as he said warmly, “There’s ample time for the nning of this exhibition, and I need your expert opinion and professional knowledge of this industry.


    “Of course, if you have any ideas for the exhibition, I’m open for a discussion too.” He looked at Mnie thoughtfully and continued casually, “Besides, didn’t you want to try doing something like this when Stephen told you to seek me out? This is a great opportunity.”


    Mnie was tempted. Xander was right. It would be easier for her to pick this up if she started from


    the financial culture sector, which was something she was good at.


    “You can still think about this if you need more time,” Xander said.


    Mnie looked at the business proposal again. Her eyshes fluttered downward as she said to Xander, “I need some time to consider this.”
