When they came out of the restaurant, the rain had eased off slightly.


    “Does your hand still hurt?” %ander asked Mnie, “If it does, we can go to the hospital,”


    Mnie moved her wrist slightly. “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”


    On the way back, Xander did not say anything, Mnie guessed that it was because Fiona mentioned his grandfather.


    Still, it was Xander’s business, and Mnie could not just ach


    To her surprise, though, Zander drove the car to a nearby hospital. He stopped the car and looked at Mnie’s wrist. “You’re injured in your right hand. It would be safer to get it checked again.”


    He was kind, and Mnie could not refuse. Fortunately, the results of the checkup were fine. It was just a slight sprain. She just had to rest.


    It was evening by the time Mnie finished her checkup and got the results. Dn would probably be arriving in Hearth City soon<b>. </b>


    Actually, Mnie wanted to go to the Jepton Hotel to look for Howard, but Xander was still there, so she did not say anything. She nned to return to the vi first beforeing out by herself.


    In the meantime, she could figure out what to say to Howard,


    When Lisa called, Zander had just parked his car. Mnie looked at the time. Lisa must have just gotten off from work.


    She excused herself from Zander and picked up Lisa’s call as she walked out of the garage. “Mnie?” Lise said after a moment of silence. “I heard you resigned from LeapCo. Why?”


    Mnie’s resignation was not exactly a secret.


    Mnie pretended not to hear the probing tone in her words and replied calmly, “Isn’t it normal for people to resign? But why were you with Quentin?”


    Thest time she saw Lisa, she was still working with Frank Yates.


    Lísaughed bitterly. “Why else? The sry here is higher.”


    “Is that so?” Mnie walked out of the parking lot. Instead of going back into the house, she went around to the outside, under the half–covered open balcony.


    She looked at the falling raindrops outside. “Why are you calling me all of a sudden?”


    “Did you leave LeapCo because you had somewhere better to go? If so…”


    Before Lisa could <b>finish</b>, Mnie understood. She lowered hershes and said, “No, I’m going to take a break for a while.”


    “Is that so…? 7” Lisa still did not sound convinced, but Mnie did not want to say anymore. She was in a bad mood after running into Quentin today.


    Besides, Lisa was working with him now.

    However, when she remembered her experiences with Quentin, Mnie reminded Lisa, ” Quentin is not a good person. Be on your guard.”


    Aplicated smile shed across Lisa’s lips. She took a deep breath. “We were from the samepany after all. Of course, I know what he’s like.”


    “But when I left LeapCo, Mr. Scott told the otherpanies not to hire me, so I can’t find anything better.” Lisa’s tone was much bleaker now.


    If it were not for Eugene, she would not have gone to work for Frank after leaving LeapCo and now, she was working for Quentin.


    Neither of them were good people.


    Lisa would be lying if she said that she did not resent Eugene.


    Mnie could hear the resentment in her voice, too. She made an excuse and hung up.


    –


    She had too much on her te now. She was not in the mood to listen to others‘ints.


    Besides, she still could not ept the fact that Lisa was working for Quentin now.


    One thing caught her attention, though. Lisa said Eugene had told the otherpanies not to hire her when she left.


    Mnie lowered her gaze slightly. No one knew what she was thinking, but her expression was solemn.
