    Dinner was scheduled to be held in the lobby. Just as Mnie was about to head over, the tended a call from Candy.


    When she approached the lobby, she found herself face–to–face with a group of people texting them was Ste. She was holding hands with Evelyn and chatting. They were followed by Cedric Eugene.


    The moment Ste saw Mnie, her smile vanished, reced with displeasure. Her tone also shifted from gentle to mocking. “Some people just never give up, always looking for opportunities to stick around like a piece of gum. Quite a clingy one, aren’t you?”


    Although Evelyn remained silent beside Ste, the triumph in her eyes was enough to disy her


    victorious stance.


    Mnie nced at the two of them and calmly replied, “If you have so much free time, Madam Hel, perhaps the two Mr. Scotts can arrange for you to join LeapCo’s sales department.


    “Given your talent for finding trouble and stirring up conflicts, the sales department will surely wee you.” Mnie’s sarcastic tone was something she had recently learned from Yvonne


    Ste was instantly embarrassed and angered. Mnie nced at her and walked straight into the lobby. She could feel several gazes on her without even turning back


    Ste watched Mnie’s retreating figure <b>with </b>increasing disdain on her face. She stared at Mnie for a while before turning to Evelyn. <b>“</b>Evelyn, look at that. That’s someone with no proper upbringing

    Her remark was abrupt, and Ste’s eyelids twitched.


    Evelyn smiled again<b>. </b><b>“</b><b>I </b><b>was </b>just saying. Mr. Cedric, Madam Ste, please don’t take it seriously. I just think Eugene cares <b>a </b>lot about Mnie.”

    The meal prepared by the inn consisted of a lot of meat. Mnie had just finished eating when a phere of candy was handed to her. Xander’s voice was gentle and maic as he said, “If you feel full, have a piece of candy.”


    Mnie had gotten used to the candies that Xander would asionally give her, so she simply took it


    Seeing this, Oliver, who was sitting opposite her, reached out to Xander, <i>“</i>Wro, give me one too. I want


    one.”


    Xander nced at him<b>, </b>his expression unchanging as he replied calmly, “There aren’t any left”


    Oliver instinctively retorted, “Don’t you have plenty? I even saw an entire jar of it in your suttene yesterday.”


    Xander calmly replied again, “They’re all gone.”


    Their main purpose ining to Crane Mountain was to take a soak in the hot springs, which Mnie could not do. It would not be fun for her to remain at the inn alone, especially when Reny kept urging her to help them take photos.


    The hot springs were nestled within a bamboo forest. The pathways leading to the pools were made of various stones. Many squirrels scampered about.
