Mnie stood up to take the call outside. There was a lot of background noise on Lee’s end, revealing that he was at a social gathering.
Lee would not normally call her unless there was something important. “Is there something <b>you </b>need from me?” she asked.
“Eugene has reviewed Burning Star Studio’s revised n. You cane to LeapCo soon to arrange the funding since you’re in Jepton now.”
It was regarding the recent changes in ns when Xander suddenly altered the original schedule, which led to Eugene requesting the new n for review.
<b>“</b>I’ll go,” Mnie responded.
“Come tomorrow,<b>” </b>Lee suggested after a moment’s contemtion. <b>“</b>It’ll be the end of the month in two days. We don’t want any dys in the financial department.”
“That’s true<b>,</b><b>” </b>Mnie acknowledged.
Just as they were about to hang up, Lee added, “By the way, Eugene has an important business dinner with Mr. Walsh tonight. It’s a crucial partnership, so he won’t be avable.”
“Is there anything else?” Mnie asked, not interested in hearing about Eugene’s work matters.
“No, that’s all,” <b>Lee </b>replied.
Mnie ended the call and turned to go inside, only to see Xandering out with a coat in hand.
Xander raised a brow slightly. “I thought you’d stay outside for a while<b>.</b><b>” </b>
Mnie gestured with her phone. “Lee called. He wants me to visit LeapCo’s finance department tomorrow.”
His eyes appeared especially warm under the light. He looked at Mnie without saying anything, then draped the coat over her shoulders. <b>“</b>It’s chilly tonight. Don’t catch a cold.”
Mnie nodded. “Thank you.”
Her voice was very low, and she did not look like she was in <b>a </b>good mood.
Xander began to say, “About finding awyer, I’ll ask my senior about it. Even if Luther is formidable, he won’t be able to turn the case around considering all the solid evidence <b>you </b>have. Otherwise, wouldn’t thew be unreliable?”
Mnie tightened her coat around herself, forcing a <b>slight </b>smile. <b>“</b>I’m just a bit worried.”
If they failed to bring down Vipletely this time, it would be much harder to do <b>so </b>in the future.
Mnie was not someone who believed in fate, but recent events often made her feel a sense <b>of </b>uncontroble powerlessness.
She was also afraid that she would fail to bring the real culprit who caused her grandfather’s death to justice. She was afraid that her grandfather would me her for being useless.
She was even more afraid that her grandfather would not be able to rest in peace.
Mnie took a deep breath. She clutched her coat and looked at the sturdy street lights outside. The dim light broke through the cold winter fog, bringing warmth.
Learning that she had to go to LeapCo the next morning, Xander offered to apany her. However, Mnie knew the construction site was at its final stage and that his presence would be needed. Hence, she rejected his offer.
Reny, who was reading the newspaper on the couch, looked up and said, “Mnie, let the boss apany you. It’ll save him from worrying. He rescheduled his flight to Oskon City overnight when you got hurt.”
Xander coughed lightly at how nonchntly Reny exposed him. He looked at Mnie and said, go.”
“Let’s
Mnie did not know what to say at this point.
She was more familiar with LeapCo’s finance department than anyone else. Everything went smoothly, likely because Eugene had given his approval in advance.
When Mnie went downstairs, she bumped into Tina and Yana at the door. They whisked Mnie away to reminisce.
Noticing Yana looking all dressed up, Mnie asked, “Are you going out to meet clients?”
