Eugenementest, “That’s a pretty good description.”
Simon clicked his tongue impatiently. “Aren’t you guys tired of this yet?”
He turned to Eugene after saying that, “The Qaisa family is interested in partnering with apany based in Jepton. That’s the message I’ve been asked to pass on.”
After a brief pause, <i>he </i>looked at Eugene before saying pointedly, “You should go talk to him now if you have the time to do so.”
Eugene said quietly, “Got it.”
Simon did not stay long after saying that. However, as he approached the door, he paused and gave Eugene another long, hard look as he said, “Don’t go overboard.”
Mnie’s heart began racing when she heard what Simon said. She could not help but wonder if he had already seen her.
“Still haven’t gotten tired of holding me?” Upon hearing the man’s slightly hoarse voice, Mnie took two hesitant steps backward.
She asked Eugene, “Did Simon see anything?”
“What do you think he saw?” Eugene asked calmly, a cool expression on his face as he lowered his gaze to look at Mnie.
There was a heady smell of red wineing from Mnie’s clothing, and the fragrant smell soon permeated Eugene’s nostrils as well.
He stared at Mnie even more intently, and his gaze made her feel somewhat ufortable. She was just about to say something when she saw his Adam’s apple bob up and down.
He asked somewhat tly, “Do you think you’re that wonderful to look at?”
A slightmotion could be heard at the door when he finished his sentence. Yvonne had returned with a change of clothes.
She was obviously stunned when she saw Eugene in the room.
However, Eugene did not spare her a nce as he left.
Mnie took the clothes and changed into them. As she walked back out, she heard Yvonne “I bumped into Vi on my way here. She had an ugly look on her face, and she nearly walked right into me.”
say,
A thought urred to Mnie as she paused in her tracks. However, she did not share the details of what had happened just now with Yvonne. She merely left the room with her once she finished putting her clothes away.
Their time here was nearly up, and they were leaving the venue early to meet Stephen.
However, another man stopped Mnie before they managed to meet up with Stephen.
Bernard frowned. There was an odd look on his face as he looked at her and asked, “Who are you?”
Mnie raised her eyes. <b>“</b>Can <b>I </b>help you?”
<b>“</b>You look like someone I know<b>,</b>” Bernard said, his eyebrows knitting themselves even more closely together. “Do you have family in Oskon City?”
Mnie answered, “Sorry, but I don’t know anyone from Oskon City.”
Bernard was about to say something else when he saw Eugene approaching with some other people.
He gave up trying to ask Mnie more questions and nced at Eugenezily as he said, Thank you for all the hospitality tonight, Mr. Scott.”

Eugene merely nced at Mnie before he walked off to discuss business with Bernard.
Yvonne was prepared to leave after speaking to Stephen briefly. However, before she left, she was stopped by Vi, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.
“We’re getting the barbecue grill ready, Mnie. Why don’t you join us? That way, I can apologize for what happened just now as well.
“I identally spilled the wine on you because I wasn’t paying attention. Please, could you not be angry at me?”
Yvonne was amazed by Vi’s acting skills and whispered to Mnie, “I’ve never seen a woman as thick–skinned as she is. Doesn’t she feel embarrassed at all?”
Mnie looked at Vi. “There’s no need for this.”
“But I-” Vi had an innocent–looking face that softened the hearts of anyone looking at her.
She reached out to grab Mnie’s hand, but Mnie managed to evade her grasp. “I’m a germaphobe. I don’t like being touched.”
A slightly hurt look appeared on Vi’s face, and tears brimmed in her eyes as she said to Mnie, “I wanted to drop by and speak to you just now, but I thought I heard a man’s voiceing from the lounge, Mnie.
