<b>Fine </b>snowkes fell gently. Carried by the wind, they brushed against the corner of Mnie’s eyes, making her feel chilly.
She looked at her wrist, which Eugene was holding, and her eyshes fluttered. “Why did youe looking for me?”
Mnie’s expressionless face was reflected in Eugene’s dark pupils. He remained silent for <b>a </b>moment before slowly letting go of his grip on Mnie’s wrist. His voice was deep and husky when he spoke.
“The final part of the report for Burning Star Studio’s project hasn’t been submitted to LeapCo.”

Mnie was taken <b>aback</b>. “The studio is on holiday. The report will be submitted after Christmas.”
Eugene looked at her. “There are many important matters after Christmas, and Burning Star Studo’s report won’t be given priority when handling the documents.”
Mnie raised her eyelids to meet Eugene’s gaze <b>for </b>a moment. After a <b>pause</b><b>, </b>she relented and <b>said</b>,
Wait a while.”
After saying that, she turned and entered the residential building, preparing to get <b>the </b>report <b>for </b>
Eugene.
After only a few steps, she saw that Eugene was following her again. She could only stop, but this. time, Eugene spoke before she could, “The proposal for Redwaves needs to be discussed further as there are <b>many </b>minute details. We have to submit it after Christmas.”
The bidding for Redwaves would officially start in February of theing year. Indeed, it needed to be settled <b>soon </b>after Christmas.
Mnie could only let Eugene follow her home.
This was Eugene’s first time visiting Mnie’s home. Upon seeing the shabby appearance of the area, he frowned slightly.
It was indeed too <b>rundown </b>here, with the walls of each building peeling off to reveal mottled marks
inside.
The greenery on the ground floor of each building consisted of various vegetables, and a myriad of Christmas decorations were hanging on poles protruding from some windows.
Usually, there were not many people in the oldmunity, but there were quite a few today. They were all carrying bags and going home to celebrate Christmas.
Mnie opened the door. Turning <b>back</b>, she was not surprised to see Eugene’s dissatisfied look, but she did not mind.
She said, “Be careful when closing the door. <b>The </b>soundproofing here is poor.

Mnie bent down to search in the shoe cab and found <b>a </b><b>pair </b>of disposable slippers. She threw

The house was sinalt, probably less than a hundred square meters. There were a few pieces of furniture, and they all looked vintage
The old house had no heating and no air conditioning. With the window half–open, cold air came in, bringing a chill
Eugene looked around and then asked Mnie, “Do you n to live here?”
Mnie froze. “This is my home. Where else can I live?”
Eugene’s gaze was dark and deep. He seemed to have a thousand thoughts churning in his mind.
Mnie found it amusing. However, did Eugene forget that his mother drove her out of Prestige Residences, leaving her with nowhere else to go?
It was alreadyte when she returned. The sky outside was dark.
Mnie poured herself a cup of hot water, sat on the couch with the cup in her hands, and then turned on theputer.
She said, “There are no extra cups at home. I’ll retrieve Burning Star Studio’s report now. If you have anything to say about Redwaves, you can say it now.”
Eugene remained silent. He sat opposite Mnie, scrutinizing her for a while. Suddenly, he asked, ” Have you not been resting welltely?”
Mnie’s fingers stopped typing. The closer it got to Christmas, the more restless she felt.
This year, she had to spend it alone. She had to ept that her grandfather had already left her.
That was why she came back to this house on the 20th. She did not want Xander and the others to notice anything unusual about her.
