Terrence wanted to tell them that the existence of the phone was already widely known within the company’s headquarters in Emerald City. The high-level management at the headquarters had seen Mr. Reed Mr. Reed answer calls on that phone more than once.
Regarding questions related to Mr. Reed’s usage of such a phone or the person behind the calls, Terrence dared not share his secrets.
Jason ended the call and said to Terrence, “For the rest of today’s meeting, finish it up for me and give me the conference record minutes tomorrow.”
“Then what about you, Mr. Reed?”
“Grace suddenly woke up and asked me where I went. I’m going back now,” Jason replied. “The general direction of the meeting has been set anyway. What’s left are only some small details.”
After saying that, he walked out of the room. A lot of the senior overseas executives who were sitting there started talking about what had happened as soon as they saw their boss leave.
Terrence faced an onslaught of questions.
“Secretary Klein, what’s going on?”
“Why did Mr. Reed leave?”
“Who called him just now?”
“Oh, I can tell from Mr. Reed’s expression just now that he must be in love.”
Romanticists from overseas usually told this kind of story. No one here would dare make such statements.
Terrence could only smile awkwardly. “Okay, let’s continue with the meeting.” Love? He, too, had thought such things, but he would never give voice to them aloud. His boss was a private man, and very guarded with his feelings.
For a while, Terrence was a little uncertain. Like the overseas execs, he also thought Jason’s behavior was very unexpected. And they didn’t know half of it. He was the only one who knew the true scope of the accommodations Mr. Reed was making for this young woman.
However, if Mr. Reed really fell in love with Grace in the future,
this news would probably shock the entire city!
In the rental room, Grace looked at Jay, who had just walked in. She asked in confusion, “It’s already late, where did you go just now? I didn’t see you when I woke up, so I got worried.” She thought that there had been an accident.
“I couldn’t fall asleep, so I went out for a walk,” Jason said. He then directly picked up Grace, who had just left the bed, and carefully placed her back down on it. “Alright, sis, go back to sleep. I won’t leave anymore.”
“If you are going out for a walk next time when I’m sleeping, leave me a note,” she said.
“Okay,” he said with a chuckle. “By the way, I have something to do tomorrow night, so I have to go out.”
“Is it related to your work?” she asked.
“Kind of,” he replied, “but it’s not that important. It won’t be a problem if I don’t go.”
“You don’t have to do that. I have no problem staying at home. by myself. Actually, I haven’t hurt as much these past two days, and I can move around more easily.”
He smirked. “It’s only been a day, Grace. You aren’t healed yet. You need to rest.”
“You’re overreacting. I’m feeling better already. You don’t have to keep carrying me around.”
“Well, I’ll be back early tomorrow,” he said, all but dismissing her refusals.
The next day, Jason prepared dinner for Grace before leaving. Before going out, he also told her not to wait for him and to go to bed if she got sleepy.
Leaving the rental apartment, he headed to the house next door. At this moment, Terrence was waiting inside.
Tonight, Terrence had already prepared the clothes that he wanted to wear.
Jason changed into a suit and combed his hair back. The outlines of his facial features suddenly became a lot sharper, especially his ice-cold eyes, which were beautiful but extremely chilling.
It seemed that there was no emotion in them at all.
However, Terrence had seen his boss look like this before. When Jason had been talking to Grace over the phone, his eyes had been softened with a touch of tenderness. Now, there was not a flicker of emotion to be found.
“Mr. Reed, the car is already waiting outside,” Terrence said.
“Let’s go then,” Jason said flatly.
Originally, he had not been in the mood to go to the engagement banquet of the Stevens and Atkinson families, but now things were a little different.
Sean, the man who had been together with Grace, was no longer in her heart. Even if these two people wanted to get back together, it would be almost impossible.
But…what he wanted was a flawless plan.
He didn’t want her to have any chance of having a relationship with Sean, and this was the day to achieve that.
How could this not be interesting?
Grace had finished dinner in the apartment. She hadn’t had anything to do, so she picked up her phone and browsed the web.
Today on the Internet, whether it was in the news or the trending searches, everyone was talking about the marriage between the Stevens and Atkinson families. Although it was only an engagement party tonight, everyone knew that such an engagement was equivalent to a marriage merger for two of the richest and most powerful families in the region.
Was a party really necessary to announce this? Did either the bride-to-be or groom actually need any gifts? No and no.
This was all a show. A demonstration of their wealth and influence that would probably bolster stocks, because people still liked to believe in fairytales, and Lily was every bit a celebrity princess. Most likely, after the engagement banquet was over, the two families would immediately begin preparing for the wedding. Which, no doubt, would be an even bigger and more ostentatious show than this.
Grace looked at the pictures accompanying the news that had been posted. Those pictures were the engagement photos of Sean and Lily as released by their families.
Lily, who was wearing a white dress, was standing together with Sean, who was also wearing a white suit. In the eyes of outsiders, they were a perfect pair.
The comments below were all envious.
“Wow. Rich, handsome, and beautiful. This is a real marriage of powerful families!”
“Feels like the two of them are made for each other.”
There were a lot of fans of Lily trying their best to promote the engagement party.
They directly said that this was the engagement of the century! It was too romantic!
It was said that Sean had booked the most luxurious hotel in
Emerald City tonight-the entire hotel!
On top of that, Sean had ordered 990,000 white roses for Lily.
She liked white roses, and he said that, in his heart, Lily was pure and flawless like the white roses she enjoyed so much.
HA-HA PURE DAW🤣! Instead of a white, innocent, little lily, she’s a white lotus!
