Lydia blushed hotly and looked around. "Don't talk nonsense! What if someone with bad intentions heard you?"That was the difficult thing about dating a celebrity. In the past, the leaked photos of Grace and Caleb had also aroused a lot of speculation. Eventually, the rumors had finally subsided after everyone found out that the two of them were siblings.In the eyes of the world, Caleb was a top celebrity and couldn't have any rumored girlfriends.Lydia didn't like having everyone's attention on her, nor did she want to affect his career. Hence, she was extra careful.Grace handed Lydia's phone back to her. "You're being so obvious about it that people are going to find out sooner or later."Lydia smiled lightly. "It's fine. I'll just say that I'm a fan of his."The others made a face and wailed, "That's so cheesy!"When they finished teasing her, Zoey suddenly said, "You're one to talk, Grace. You've been in a good mood lately, too. You're always smiling."Grace was startle
The housekeeper looked confused as she waited for Luke's answer.Grace had sharp eyes and caught a man's figure appear on the balcony upstairs. "Sir, I'm here to see you."The man frowned. It seemed as if he had planned to hide. But since she had discovered him, he was forced to face them."Let them in, Martha."The villa's interior had a vintage style, and its garden had many plants and flowers. The man came downstairs. He was about six feet tall and wore a mask and a hat. He looked like a celebrity.Grace gestured for Luke to put the gifts down. "Please accept these gifts. It's not an extravagant one. It's just for your health."The man glanced at it. Every one of the gifts she had given him cost more than a thousand dollars, yet she had said that they weren't expensive at all."You shouldn't have. I don't need this."Grace felt rather awkward when she saw that the man had no intention of inviting her to sit down. "You saved me, and these gifts are only a simple expression
Grace took out a post-it from her bag and wrote down a string of numbers. "This is my number. Call me when you get there, and I'll arrange for a staff member to bring you in."She stuffed it into Shawn's hand briskly.He was about to speak when Luke rushed in from outside and whispered a few words in Grace's ear. Her expression changed at once."Really?"Luke nodded vigorously. "We have to hurry back to the office."Grace stood up. "I'm sorry, something urgent has come up. I need to leave.""Okay."She and Luke got in the car and sped off. Martha closed the door, came back, and said tentatively, "We rarely have guests here. This lady was very energetic.""Don't tell anyone that she came here."Shawn gripped the post-it tightly in his hand, but he didn't throw it into the trash can.When Grace returned to Amirate Corporation, it was already dark, and the conference room was brightly lit.She pushed the door open and saw the headlines that had been printed out and stuck all ov
Grace was surprised. "I couldn't tell."Caleb smiled bitterly. "Of course you couldn't. I wasn't even sure about what I wanted."He still remembered how things had been when he had lived at Lewis Residence. On the outside, he had always been energetic and optimistic, and everyone liked him. But the truth was that he had always felt like he was walking on eggshells because he was adopted.On one of his birthdays, Harold had given him the exact same present as the previous year. Caleb had suppressed his disappointment and exclaimed that he really liked it. He had even given Harold a big hug, and everyone had been happy.Lydia had been a guest there too. When the party had ended, she had given her gift to Caleb and said softly, "I know that you didn't really like that gift. I also know why you didn't say anything. "Happy birthday. I hope that you will be able to express your emotions honestly in the future."Caleb had been stunned. Then he had watched Lydia's slender, obstinate f
At that moment, Xander was at a social gathering. He had called Grace while he had stepped out for a smoke. He looked intently at the people passing by. Their blurred figures moved swiftly past him like a scene from a movie."I haven't booked my ticket yet, but I will definitely be there."Saturdays were work days in Frenda, and there was a project that he needed to attend to personally that day. It was extremely important, and he didn't know what time it would end. Grace assented lightly. "Do you miss me?"Grace felt shy when she heard his sweet words. "Miss you? It's only been half a month since we last met. I'm not that eager.""I guess I'm too confident, then."There was a short silence on the phone. Then, Grace said in a small voice, "It's not that I don't miss you."Of course, she couldn't see the huge smile that appeared on Xander's face. He could already imagine her expression. It must be adorable and mellow."I'll bring a gift for you when I come back.""I get a
"The more mysterious she makes things out to be, the more suspense she leaves the crowd in. Right now, the public has stopped focusing on his relationship. Instead, they're now speculating on whether or not he'll appear. Don't you think that this is very sophisticated marketing?"It finally dawned on Timothy. "Oh my! She knows that with Caleb's popularity, he will absolutely have to say something to the fans. But if he does, he can't just casually make a statement. They have to maximize the profits."Damn. She's a born businesswoman."Benjamin remained expressionless when he heard this. In truth, he felt conflicted. The skills she had shown had proven that she wouldn't have been able to reach her full potential at Hawkins Group.Timothy only stayed for a while before he remembered he had to pick his girlfriend up for lunch. Larry entered Benjamin's office. He lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Hawkins, I have news about the person you told me to investigate."Benjamin looked
"Mr. Baxter, I believe I've shown enough sincerity. Think about who should get Aether Group's project in Pamore again."As one chess piece fell, the winner was determined.Bobby dropped two white pieces and conceded. "Your chess skills are comparable to a national master's, Mr. Fulton. I admit defeat.""My plane is in three hours. If you make up your mind, we can return to Pamore together."Bobby was surprised for a moment. "You're also leaving?"Xander didn't say a word and started packing up the chessboard.Bobby realized he had overstepped and stood up to make a call.Meanwhile, Xander got a message from Grace. "Xander, I'm heading to the venue now. What are you doing?""Working.""Why isn't it over yet?" She added an emoticon, hinting at her disappointment.Xander smiled, typing, "Almost done." But before he could send it, he got a call from Hazel. She said, "Aether Group is handing their project to us." Xander gripped his phone, watching Bobby return to his line of s
Bobby wiped his sweat. "It seems you have someone you want to impress, Mr. Fulton."At Xander's age, having a woman and spending money to please her was normal. However, spending 150 million dollars on a woman was shocking. Besides having a substantial family background, it indicated that the woman's status was extraordinary.After all, women were graded in men's eyes.Xander didn't respond. "Put it away."Hazel closed the box. Seeing Xander stand up, she helped him put on his coat. "The plane ticket has been booked. We'll take off in an hour, and we should land in Pamore around 10:00 pm."10:00 pm … The gala would end by 11:00 pm, which was still manageable."Let's go."Bobby followed behind Xander, lost in thought.…In Pamore, Grace was backstage, and the audience arrived at the venue. She received a message from Xander letting her know that he was boarding the flight. "What makes you so happy, Ms. Lewis?" Matthew asked. Benjamin stood behind him.Grace's smile instant
