Chapter <b>294 </b>


    Mnie was taken aback. Xander nced at her wrist and said calmly, “You should rest that sprain if you want it to get better.”


    Mnie pulled her hand away ufortably. Xander had noticed her injured hand when she had firste over.


    She lowered hershes. Xander was the only one who had noticed she was hurt.


    Xander wanted to help Mnie drive, so he handed his car keys to Oliver. Reny leaned over and looked at Mnie. She wanted to say something but hesitated.


    Mnie paused. “Is something wrong?”


    “Nothing. I just wanted to ask if you have a grudge against Mr. Emerson.” She scratched her head. “I’ve never seen you be so actively hostile to someone before.”


    Mnie’s expression became more distant. “Quentin used to be at LeapCo, too.”


    Reny blinked and was about to speak when Oliver called her away. They walked far away before Mnie heard Oliver huffing, “Why are you always so nosy?”


    “I was just curious…‘


    Mnie knew that she had been quite harsh to Quentin, and Quentin’s words left a lot to the imagination.


    She had been waiting for Xander to ask, but he did not say anything until they reached Dn’s


    hotel.


    “What is it?” Xander asked as the car came to a stop. He turned suddenly and looked at


    Mnie. “You keep staring at me. Is it something on my face?”


    Xander suddenly leaned closer to Mnie, leaving her flustered. She moved back


    imperceptibly. “No, it’s not that.”


    “Then what’s on your mind?” Xander pressed.


    “Aren’t you curious about me and Quentin?” Quentin’s words in the conference room today were so pointed that even Reny was intrigued.


    Xander raised his eyebrows slightly. “What’s there to be curious about? He doesn’t look like a good guy.”


    Mnie had not expected Xander to say that. “How can you tell?”


    Xander did not say anything. He looked outside and said in a low voice, “I’m going to buy something.”


    With that, he drove off.


    The Jepton rain seemed to be back with a vengeance, determined to make up for lost time.


    Mnie sat in the car for a while before getting out of the car and going to the hotel. She dragged Dn out of the room, her expression stormy. “If you don’t go back to Hearth City now, I won’t give you a single cent.”

    If Dn could pester her, then Mnie could threaten her in return.


    As expected, Dn immediately cowed at the threat and looked at Mnie timidly.


    Xander had already returned from his shopping trip. When he saw Dn, he did not say anything. He just handed a box to Mnie, “I just bought some analgesic ointment. You can use this first.”


    Because of the rain, Mnie had no choice but to buy Dn the next rail ticket to Hearth City, She even bought an extra ticket and went past the turnstiles herself so she could personally see Dn boarding the train<b>, </b>


    Xander was waiting for Mnie outside when she came out of the station.


    Seeing the exhaustion on her face, he said softly, “Have you had lunch?”


    He knew Mnie had rushed there from the hospital. She probably did not have the time.


    He thought for a moment and said, “I’ll take you somewhere to eat. I think you’ll like it there,” No sooner had he said that than Mnie’s phone beeped with a text message notification.
