Chapter <b>259 </b>


    Mnie wanted to talk to Xander about the exhibition nning, yet she heard Reny snicker. She grabbed Mnie’s shoulder and said, “Mnie, you’re the first woman to talk to Xander like this.”


    Mnie was puzzled. “Was there anything wrong with what I said?”


    “No, it’s just that it sounded like you were thanking Xander for being a nice man and rejecting his confession.” Reny was stillughing.


    Meanie said nothing more. She was not good at responding to jokes like this.


    Xander was not a man of many words and naturally would not respond to Reny’s quip.


    He handed Mnie a ss of water. “I have a few drafts to finish. There are books in the study. If they’re too noisy, you can read there.‘


    Mnie stood up. “Is there anything I can help with? I remember you said there are many documents to organize.”


    She took the ss of water and said, “I’ve been neglecting my job here. I can do anything that needs my assistance.”


    Reny and Oliver looked at each other with a chuckle. “There’s nothing you have to help with. We just need you here to chat with us.”


    However, just as they spoke, Xander nodded and said, “There are indeed a lot of documents to organize. They’re in the study.”


    Mnie nodded and entered the study.


    Reny put on a straight face when she left and red at Xander in displeasure. “Boss, how could you do this to Mnie? Can’t you see she’s in a bad mood?”


    “We haven’t finished the frame. Come over and help.” Xander ignored her reprimand and spoke to Oliver instead.


    Only Reny was left there, nagging at him.


    Mnie found the documents in the study. She had not been working for days, and her body felt sluggish. It took her some time to adapt to the work as she arranged the documents.


    A gap was left at the door, and Mnie could hear Reny and the others speaking.


    However, it was strange that her tense mind was rxed in such an environment.


    Drowsiness struck her, and the voice outside faded out.


    Mnie had a deep and peaceful sleep.


    When she woke up, it was already midnight, and there were still chattering noises from the living room.


    Her arm was numb because she had been sleeping on it. Mnie moved, and her brows furrowed.


    The nket on her shoulder fell off, startling Mnie.


    She took some time to calm herself before walking out. Reny<b>, </b>Oliver<b>, </b>and Xander were the only ones in the workshop before Mnie dozed off, but there were others with them <b>now</b><b>. </b><b>They </b>were the employees Mnie had met back in Prime City.


    They seemed to be discussing something with low voices as they sat in a circle.


    Reny was the first person to notice her. “Mnie, you are awake?”


    Xander sat with his back facing her and turned around upon hearing Reny’s words.


    Mnie was standing behind him, and he had to lift his head. He was still in the same clothes. His cor was loosened, maybe because it was more convenient to work like that. It made him look more carefree than usual.


    Mnie looked at them and asked, “Are you guys having a meeting?”


    “Did we disturb your sleep?”


    Mnie was indeed sleepy because she had not been sleeping welltely, and her body could not take it anymore.


    However, she shook her head. Unfortunately, the tiredness in her eyes sold her out.


    Xander looked at her and got up. “Everyone, go to bed.”


    It was three in the morning, and some were already sleepy. They quickly headed to their


    rooms.


    Reny pointed at the second floor. “Mnie, our room is the second one upstairs. You’ll be sleeping with me tonight.”
