Chapter <b>735 </b>
Candy looked at Mnie innocently and spoke in a crystal clear voice that everyone could hear.
Mnie paused. She hesitated about telling Candy about Eugene not being her boyfriend. Candy was still very young. It would be weird for Mnie to exin the situation seriously to a little girl.
Jackson’s assistant walked out of the office a few seconds after Candy said that.
“Mr. Lowe is waiting inside for you.”
Candy held Mnie’s hand and smiled adorably. “I’ll walk you in, Mnie.”
She even took care to nce at <b>Eugene</b>. Eugene sensed Candy looking at him <b>and </b>returned the stare with indifference. He threw a distant and cold look at <b>her</b>.
Jackson had gone through all of the files given to him, which was why he had requested his assistant to contact Eugene<b>. </b>
Even he was a little worried because of what Harvey had done before.
Jackson said in a deep voice, “I’ve gone through all of LeapCo’s files. Even though there are certain aspects that don’t meet Redwaves‘ criteria<b>, </b><b>you </b>have provided a proposal with countermeasures that address them. This is enough for Redwaves to ept LeapCo for the tender.”
He was being courteous about the situation, and Mnie and Eugene understood that well. They followed Jackson’s lead in the conversation and allowed him to <b>resolve </b>the situation on his terms.
Both parties did not mention Harvey throughout their discussion. The meeting went well.
<b>This </b>issue had finallye to an end. A portion of Mnie’s burden had been lifted.
<b>The </b>other portion of the burden woulde if they <b>won </b>the tender<b>. </b>
Candy walked them out when they were about to leave.
She skipped next to Mnie. “When will you see my dad again, Mnie?”
Mnie asked, “Why? Do you need anything from me?”
“No. I just feel close to you<b>, </b>like you’re my sister,” Candy said.
Candy had been especially affectionate toward Mnie<b>. </b>This might be because she had <b>chatted </b>with Mnie the night before via text.
Mnie had no idea how to react to Candy. Mnie had always been an only child, and none of her rtives had children at home. That was why she had no idea how to get along with children.
She gave this some thought and asked Candy, “Were the lemon drops I gave you delicious<b>?</b><b>” </b>
“They were!” Candy nodded vigorously. <b>She </b>asked, “Is your boyfriend the one who bought them for you?”

Candy asked sincerely, “Is he being fierce to me because you gave me the lemon drops he bought for you?”
<b>She </b>sounded serious.
Mnie covered her mouth to stop herself fromughing.
She looked down at Candy. “Someone else gave them to me. My rtionship with that man <b>is </b>not what you think it is. He’s not my boyfriend.”
Mnie was referring to Eugene.
Candy nodded like she understood what Mnie was saying. <b>She </b>asked curiously, <b>“</b><b>Then </b>why is he always staring at you? It’s like Lucky when he sees his dog food. He’ll keep staring at it too.
“Uncle Jacob says that only Dad would look at Mom that way.”
Mnie had no idea how to answer the innocent Candy.
She looked at Eugene. It was just like what Candy said. He was staring at her<b>, </b>and Mnie immediately met his gaze.
Eugene looked away very quickly. He said calmly, “Let’s go<b>.</b><b>” </b>
Candy stood where she was as she watched the car sped off<b>. </b>She mumbled, “<b>He’s </b>exactly like Lucky.”
Mnie did <b>not </b>think much of what Candy said about Lucky. It was just innocent words from a child.
After all, whenever Candy met her<b>, </b>she was always with Eugene because of work. There <b>was </b>not much reason to exin too much to Candy.
Compared to this, it was much more important for Mnie to rush back <b>to </b>Jepton.
