Someone grabbed her waist, and the next thing Mnie knew, she was pulled to the side. She managed to evade Candy, who came crashing toward her.
Mnie grunted when her back hit hard against Eugene’s warm chest. She quickly stabled herself.
Eugene said in a deep voice, “Be careful.”
His hand was still on Mnie’s waist. They were now very close to each other, and Eugene’s warm breath brushed <b>Mnie’s </b>ear. It <b>was </b>a little ticklish.
Mnie moved slightly to the side. Eugene’s dark eyes moved a little along with her.
“Candy!” Jackson came running behind Candy as he called out breathlessly. “Don’t run. You’ll crash
<b>into </b>others.
She was already running <b>past </b><b>Mnie</b>. She then jumped into Jackson’s arms. She turned to look at Mnie when she heard Jackson’s words.
“I’m sorry, I was being <b>careless</b>.”
Mnie was not bothered by it. “It’s fine.”
<b>Candy </b>was grasping the corner of Jackson’s shirt. She looked up at Jackson andter at Mnie. She hesitated before working up the courage <b>to </b>ask, “Do you and my dad know each other?”
“Oh, it’s you from the other day.” Jacob came over as well and instantly recognized Mnie and Eugene.
He <b>said </b>to Jackson, “They’re the ones I was telling you about. Candy knocked into them on her bike. How do you know each other?”
Candy stuck out her tongue with slight embarrassment. “That wasn’t on purpose either.”
She was Jackson’s only daughter, and Jackson was known to spoil his daughter.
The way Jackson looked at Mnie and Eugene softened when he heard Jacob’s words.
Jackson held Candy’s hand and headed outside. <b>“</b>Since you’re here to see me, we should <b>have </b>a chat.”
Mnie raised her eyes and understood <b>what </b>he meant.
When she was about to follow behind, <b>she </b>realized she was still in Eugene’s arms. His hand was grasping her waist tightly.
Mnie frowned as she looked at Eugene. She stared at the side of his cold<b>, </b>handsome face and said in a low voice, “Let me go.”
Eugene looked down at her. There was a glimmer in his dark eyes.
There was a casual look in his eyes as he grunted a neutral answer. He released her.
Mnie nced at his hand letting go of her and said nothing. She followed behind Jackson and left
with him.
Jackson initiated the chat as they drove straight to a restaurant in the city center. Candy kept looking at Mnie curiously until she finally asked Jackson shyly, “Dad, can I sit next to her?”
He was taken aback by the question. Jackson looked at Mnie and seemed to contemte her.
Mnie sat quietly, allowing him to size her up.
Candy shook Jackson’s hand and gave him a pitiful look. “Can I, Dad?”
Jackson was unable to reject her and asked Mnie, “Would you mind, Miss Smith?”
<b>Candy </b>ran over to sit next to Mnie the moment he asked the question. She was adorable, had a pretty smile, and was very obedient.
Mnie asked her quietly, “<b>Has </b>the wound on your hand recovered?”
Candy smiled brightly. “I’m fine now!”
Jackson was less stern with Candy around, and the atmosphere at the restaurant table was quite
friendly.
Eugene took the opportunity to jump right into the topic as he exined their reason for <b>seeing </b>
Jackson.
Jackson’s rxed expression slowly turned serious. “The report Harvey submitted to me has already exined why Burning Star Studio and LeapCo aren’t suitable for this tender. How could it be
inurate?”
Eugene smiled. “I have no idea about the contents of the report Mr. Grant submitted, but I think might like to take a look at the data and information we have. It includes all possible emergency scenarios in which we have prepared proposed countermeasures.‘
