When Eugene’s grandfather saw Eugene, he frowned. “Why <b>isn’t </b>Mel here? <b>I </b>brought her a gift.”
Eugene took <b>the </b>luggage from the caretaker. <b>“I’ll </b>drive you back <b>home</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>
His grandfather stared at him. “It seems <b>that </b>the rumor I heard <b>is </b>true.”
<b>“</b>What rumor<b>?</b><b>” </b>asked Eugene.
His grandfather sneered. “<b>I </b>heard <b>you </b>fired Mel and you’re dating a new <b>girl </b>now<b>.</b><b>” </b>
<b>He </b>looked at Eugene as he said regretfully<b>, </b>“You’re a <b>fool</b>!<b>” </b>
Eugene could not retort to an elder<b>, </b>so he only let his grandfather scold him. “Mel <b>is </b>the <b>girl </b><b>I </b>want you to marry. Let me <b>tell </b>you<b>, </b>don’t learn from your father. <b>That’s </b>being <b>foolish</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>
Mnie had no <b>idea </b>Eugene’s grandfather was praising her as soon as he <b>got </b>off the ne. She was still researching the project for Xander and Oliver.
Although she was responsible for business negotiations<b>, </b>she still felt proud and happy for herself when she finished the proposal.
After drafting it, Mnie took the proposal to LeapCo. She did not get to meet Eugene. Lee told her he was on a business trip and had not returned.
Fortunately, the amended proposal was quickly approved, and everything was fine.
However, Mnie was still worried and confirmed twice before leaving, “Are you sure it’s fine?”
It would be troublesome if LeapCo looked for trouble again in the middle <b>of </b>the project.
Lee assured her, saying, <b>“</b>I approved this ording to the terms Mr. Scott gave me, and I’ll send Mr. Scott a copy. If anything needs to be amended, I’ll <b>contact </b>you right away.”
Only then did Mnie feel relieved. She was about to leave after bidding farewell but noticed Vi looking at her from the office.
Mnie did not look away. She stared straight back at Vi.
The amendment of the proposal dragged the progress of the project, giving them less time.
Everyone went to help out at the site due to the renovations that needed to be done. Only Mnie was left in the vi<b>, </b>dealing with the documents.
It was two dayster when <b>Lee </b><b>called </b>her again. He was frank and told her why he called. LeapCo will check <b>on </b><b>the </b><b>site </b>again.”
“Sure. When are <b>you </bing<b>? </b><b>I’ll </b>take you there<b>,</b><b>” </b><b>asked </b>Mnie straightforwardly.
“Today at around <b>3:00 pm</b><b>” </b>
Mnie looked <b>at </b>the time<b>. </b><b>“</b><b>Should </b>we <b>meet </b><b>at </b>the site <b>or </b>LeapCo?”
“<b>We’ll </b>pick <b>you </b>up<b>.</b><b>” </b>
Mnie thought it would be <b>Lee </b><b>and </b>the others inspecting the <b>site</b><b>, </b>yet it was Eugene.
His ck yet luxurious Maybach pulled over outside the vi. Mnie thought he <b>was </b>here <b>to </b>look <b>for </b><b>ra</b>.
However<b>, </b><b>when </b><b>the </b>window rolled <b>down</b><b>, </b>Eugene’s side profile appeared <b>in </b>front <b>of </b>her. <b>He </b>had his hand on the steering wheel and looked cold as ever. <b>“</b>Do I have <b>to </b>invite <b>you </b><b>to </b><b>get </b>into the car?”
Mnie’s brows knitted together as she opened the car door.
The <b>scent </b>of the car was still the same, fresh but mature.
The two said nothing along the way.
When Mnie <b>got </b>out of the <b>car</b>, Eugene said emotionlessly, <b>“</b>Grandpa is back.<b>” </b>
Mnie stopped. She recalled the years she <b>dated </b>Eugene. No one in the Scott family liked her except for Eugene’s grandfather.
However, he had to go abroad because of his health. Mnie never contacted him <b>except </b>for when sending him wishes during festive seasons.
She asked, “How is his health now?”
“Not bad.” Eugene’s voice was cold, and he did not show any emotion. “He brought you a gift. Visit him whenever you’re free<b>.</b>”
Mnie was taken aback and subconsciously wanted to reject the offer.
