Xander was taken aback by her answer. His seductive eyes glowed as heughed. “You’re right.”


    Summer wasing to an end, and it was getting colder at night. The breeze blowing through the unclosed window was cold.


    Xander’s minty scent assailed Mnie’s nostrils along with the breeze. Mnie lowered her head and cleared her throat. “It’s gettingte. Bye.”


    Then, she turned around. Her steps looked as if she was trying to escape.


    A smile shed across Xander’s face as he spoke in a gentler tone than usual, “It’s gettingte. Stay for the night here. We can meet the client tomorrow.”


    It was gettingte, and Mnie had only blurted that just now.


    She turned around awkwardly and wanted to exin her act, but her eyes met Xander’s smiling gaze.


    Her lips were pursed as she walked past Xander stiffly.


    They could hear Reny’s and Oliver’s chatter andughter from upstairs. Mnie took a bath before going to bed.


    It had been quite a tiring day.


    Xander had arranged to meet the client in the afternoon the next day. The venue was a café in the center of the city.


    Mnie arrived ten minutes earlier than the time arranged.


    However, the person she was meeting was different from what she had expected.


    ra was sitting across from her with her bag on her shoulder. She had a faint smile on her face, looking elegant and gorgeous.


    “Miss Smith, I’m surprised that the person I’m meeting is you. Looks like you’re doing well in Burning Star Studio,” said ra.


    Mnie was also surprised to see ra. However, it reminded her of when she met ra at a business meeting with Eugene. ra’s parents funded herpany, and her husband was a stay–at–home husband. ra was in charge of most of the decisions in thepany.


    ra was an independent businesswoman, unlike a rich man’s wife like Ste.


    Mnie looked at the document as she said, “I’m responsible for all of Burning Star Studio’s business coborations. Please let me know if you have anything in mind, Madam Franklin.” “Eugene is a fool to fire you. He should be happy that LeapCo and Burning Star Studio aren’t business rivals.” ra appeared calm, and she was an intelligent woman.


    Calmly, Mnie answered, “If LeapCo and Burning Star Studio were rivals, I wouldn’t have chosen Burning Star Studio. After all, I have a job agreement with LeapCo.”


    ra nodded. “<b>He </b>is quite smart.”


    Mnie did not know what to answer. She wanted to avoid going on with this topic.


    However, ra seemed to ignore her reluctance and lifted her coffee cup. “I still remember the day Eugene brought you to my husband’s birthday party. He even asked if I would mind.”


    ra squinted her eyes. “To be honest, Eugene seldom cares about courtesy.”


    She looked at Mnie meaningfully and added, “So, I have a deep impression of you.”


    Mnie understood ra was trying to probe something, yet she remained calm. “I’m sorry that I left a deep impression on you on an asion like that.”


    Her gaze on ra was clear and calm as if she really felt sorry for it.


    ra could say nothing more when faced with a pair of eyes like that. Her probing act seemed ridiculous right now.


    She remained silent for a moment before saying, “I’m sorry. I was being judgemental.”
