Chapter <b>461 </b>
Lee nodded. Mnie <b>was </b>about <b>to </b>speak when Oliver snapped, “Are <b>you </b>going to look for him. again? His attitude is obvious. <b>Why </b>are you wasting <b>your </b>time?<b>” </b>
Oliver had a bad impression of LeapCo <b>today</b><b>, </b>so he did not <b>care </b><b>even </b>that Lee <b>was </b>around. <b>He </b><b>scoffed</b>. “He’s the president <b>of </b>LeapCo<b>. </b>He’s different from us.<b>” </b>
Mnie looked at Xander. He frowned, seemingly <b>not </b>approving <b>of </b>her act<b>. </b>
Pursing her lips, she <b>said</b><b>, </b><b>“</b>Since we’re here <b>to </b>discuss, we have to <b>negotiate</b><b>. </b>Moreover<b>, </b>I have some other things <b>to </b>talk with him about.”
Xander looked at the ground and paused for a while before nodding. “Do <b>you </b>want me to wait for you?”
Mnie froze. “You can head to the supplier first. I’ll join you when I’m done here.”
Before Xander left<b>, </b>he told Mnie<b>, </b>“We’ll wait for you downstairs for half an hour.”
Mnie was moved. She looked at Xander. He was still cold, but his gaze was gentle and full <b>of </b>helplessness.
He was worried about her.
After hesitating, Mnie’s eyshes fluttered as she said, “I’ll call you after I settle the matter.”
????
they were downstairs, Oliver looked at Xander andmented, “I didn’t know your temper could be <b>so </b>good.”
Xander showed no expression. “What’s the point of being grumpy like you?”
At this retort, Oliver could only shut his mouth. He could see that Xander was not as gentle as he had spoken to Mnie earlier.
Meanwhile, Mnie followed Lee to the office, where she spotted Julie and another young
woman.
Mnie did not recognize the young woman. Lee exined, “She’s the new intern.”
Julie, who had been working, lifted her head and blurted, <b>“</b><b>You </b>thought you couldn’t be reced? Look! A random intern has taken your ce.”
When Mnie worked in LeapCo, she was already used to Julie’s mockery. At this moment, Mnie did not even look at her.
The new intern took a <b>peep </b>at Mnie.
Lee brought Mnie to the office door and entered. <b>“</b>Mr. Scott<b>, </b>Mnie wants to have a word with you<b>.</b>”
Eugene froze and said expressionlessly with his head lifted, “Call her in.”
Lee walked <b>out </b>after a while and said, <b>“</b><b>You </b>can go in.”
Thanking him, Mnie opened <b>the </b><b>door</b>.
When she entered, her <b>eyes </b>met <b>that </b>pair <b>of </b>cold eyes.
She stopped. <b>“</b>Can I have <b>a </b>word with <b>you</b>?”
Eugene asked meaningfully<b>, </b>“Are <b>you </b>here <b>to </b>talk <b>to </b>me about Burning Star Studio?<b>” </b>
<b>He </b>continued, <b>“</b><b>Well</b><b>, </b><b>tell </b>me your conditions. <b>I’m </b>curious what <b>you’ll </be up with<b>.</b><b>” </b>
Eugene sounded carefree. After a few seconds <b>of </b>silence, Mnie said, <b>“</b><b>I </b>came <b>to </b>talk to you <b>about </b>the 1.5 million.<b>” </b>
<b>It </b><b>was </b>awkward for a few seconds before Eugene looked at Mnie as he pondered.
He hid his emotions and lifted his chin arrogantly. “Continue.”
Mnie took a deep breath and looked at Eugene as she tried to calm herself. <b>“</b>I want to return half a million to you first and the same amount subsequently. Can I pay the interest ording <b>to </b>the bank’s rate?”
She had been pondering for some time as she only had 600 grand in her savings. She could only return a portion of the money first.
As for the rest of the money, she had to think of a way to get them.
Mnie had wanted to look for Eugene some other day, but Eugene insisted that she came today. Thus, she decided to tell him now.
