“Mr. Hart, what should we do…?”
“Check. Go and find out where the sanitation worker is!” Brian said coldly. The bracelet had been his only consolation all these years and he had to get it back by all means.
He was willing to pay any price to get it back!
He had a feeling that he would never be able to find the person if he were to lose the bracelet!
Suddenly, Grace woke up from her sleep. The room was bright as she had kept the lights on.
She reached out for her cellphone to look at the time. It was 3 a.m. and she could sleep for a few more hours.
Just as she was about to shut her eyes, she suddenly sat bolt upright. The next instant, she stared in disbelief, her eyes wide open.
A man was sitting by the dining table in her rental apartment,
playing with the silver bracelet that had been in her pocket.
Under the light, the man looked like a painting that been drawn on a piece of rice paper. His brows were thick, and his nasal bridge was high. His lips were thin, and he had a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes. When he curled his lips and looked at her, he seemed cold and aloof.
As he looked at her, Grace felt as if he was a mirage.
“Is this man real? Am I… dreaming?”
“Are you awake?” The man’s voice broke the silence in the room.
Grace suddenly came to her senses and realized that she was not dreaming. Everything was real!
“You, who are you? Why are you in my apartment in the middle of the night?” Grace tried her best not to scream. She quietly stretched out her hand to pick up her cellphone so that she could call the police when the man was not watching her.
However, before she could get her hands on the cellphone, the man said, “If you’re thinking of calling the police, you can forget about it. If I wanted to harm you, I would have done so while you were sleeping.”
Grace froze at his words. The man seemed to have read her mind.
“Why are you…”
“This is my bracelet,” Brian said as he stood up. He slowly made his way to the bed and said, “It was stolen today.”
“I didn’t steal it. When I saw it, it was already in my pocket,”
Grace explained immediately.
“I know you didn’t steal it,” Brian said. “If it was you, you wouldn’t still be here in one piece.”
Grace bit her lip and grabbed hold of the quilt tightly.
This man seemed cold and dangerous. She wondered when he had entered her rental apartment without her realizing it.
When she saw him playing with the bracelet, she believed that he had been there for some time.
However, she hadn’t noticed it.
After thinking for a while, she concluded that he must be something special. No ordinary man could search her out and get into her apartment unnoticed. When the man got near her, she noticed that his attire was high quality. His suit and wristwatch were branded and expensive. However, she found it puzzling that this kind of man would barge into her apartment for the sake of a cheap bracelet!
“Wait…” Grace suddenly shivered. She looked at the man with even more confusion. How… how had he known that the bracelet was with her?
She had found it in the pocket of her work uniform when she had gotten off work.
However, this man had known that the bracelet was with her. Then, he had even found out where she lived and silently barged in…
To be able to do such a thing, who on earth was this man?
“You picked up this bracelet, what reward do you want? As long it isn’t too excessive, I can give it to you.” Brian lowered his head and looked down at the woman in front of him.
He had planned to leave directly with the bracelet, but when he saw the woman’s sleeping face, he had decided to remain in the house.
He thought, maybe, he wanted to see what this woman looked like when she opened her eyes.
Now, she had really awoken. She had a pair of extremely beautiful almond eyes, the deep and dark pupils clearly contrasting with the sclera. The eyelashes that curled upwards added a bit of charm to this pair of eyes.
It was just that when this pair of eyes opened, the gaze that emerged was filled with a kind of lifeless apathy that didn’t match her age.
It was as if she had gone through too much hardship and had already lost the vibrance that she ought to have. Now, she was instead resigned to her fate.
Grace did not know who the man in front of her was. However,
he seemed to have a similar temperament to Jason.
In her current situation, she could not afford to provoke such a person.
“This bracelet just happened to be in the pocket of my work uniform. It can’t be said that I picked it up, so you don’t need to reward me,” Grace said.
Brian raised his eyebrows. He hadn’t expected that a woman who lived in such a small house and did cleaning work would directly refuse the reward he offered.
“Even if I could give you a reward that could change your life,
you wouldn’t want it?” he said.
Grace could not help but think of what Jason had said to her back then. These two people were indeed very similar. Both of them seemed to be able to easily change other people’s lives.
However, this was her life. She didn’t want to be controlled by others. She just wanted to be the master of her own fate.
“No, thanks. This bracelet has been returned to its rightful owner and I didn’t do anything to help,” Grace replied.
Brian’s face sank slightly and he tilted his body a little. His face drew close to hers, and his pair of pitch-black phoenix eyes seemed to be scrutinizing her.
Grace subconsciously tightened her grip on the blanket covering her body and she glared at the man in front of her.
She did not know who this man was or what he wanted to do. However, he had been able to enter the room silently at night easily. If he really wanted to do something to her, she might not be able to stop him at all.
The two people looked at each other in silence. After a long while, the man’s cold and indifferent voice finally sounded again. “Are you saying that to get more benefits? Are you playing hard to get?”
She was stunned for a moment and then said, “I don’t have that ability, and I can’t play hard to get with you. What’s more,
I don’t even know who you are. Since you have obtained the bracelet, can you leave? I have to go to work early in the morning, and I want to sleep for another two hours.”
He slowly straightened up, holding the small silver bracelet with his slender fingers. As his gaze fell on her face, he opened his thin lips and said lightly, “I’m Brian. Now, you should know who I am.”
Grace had heard Brian’s name before.
After all, the Hart family was in charge of all kinds of businesses within the entertainment industry. Some even said that in the entertainment industry, whoever Brian wanted to be successful would become successful. If Brian wanted to suppress someone, then they would never be able to be successful for the rest of their lives.
From this, one could tell how influential Brian was in the entertainment industry.
When she had been dating Sean, she had once heard Sean mention him. Although the Stevens family was also considered rich and powerful in the city, compared to the aristocratic Hart family, the Stevens family was lacking.
Sean, of course, was not qualified to make friends with Brian.
As for the other “hearsay”, it had come from the mouths of those gossipy women in the Sanitation Service Center. It was said that Brian was indifferent and difficult to get along with, but he never was short of girlfriends.
He had also made all of his girl friends famous, but once they broke up, he would be very decisive and brisk, even capable of being cold-blooded and ruthless.
However, although he was the Crown Prince of the entertainment industry, he had never two-timed. When he was in a relationship with a woman, no matter how short the time was, during this period of time, he would only associate with that woman and would not be unfaithful.
This was also the reason why he was not cursed on the Internet.
After all, they were adults, and they were all consenting. It could even be said that the women who had been in a relationship with him had all gained great benefits.
Therefore, there were also many women who dreamed of having a relationship with Brian. After all, they could gain a lot from it, and if they were doted on like a treasure by a handsome man, even if it was shortlived, it would be like a firework’s moment of brilliance.
Grace had never expected that it would be Brian who had barged into her rental apartment in the middle of the night. Furthermore, Brian had barged in just to retrieve an unremarkable silver bracelet.
It seemed like this silver bracelet was very important to him.
“Alas, the Crown Prince and Emily broke up again. It seems that he’s now dating a third-rate celebrity.” Grace had been returning her tools while the girls in the Sanitation Service Center were chatting about Brian’s gossip.
“Who’s that third-rate celebrity? She actually defeated Emily?”
“She hasn’t been exposed yet, that’ll probably take a few more days. But it hasn’t been too bad for Emily, if she hadn’t been dating the Crown Prince, she wouldn’t have become a first-rate star so easily! So thinking about it, she has also gained a lot.”
“I really hope that I can meet the Crown Prince one day. If he likes me, even if he only wants one night with me, I’ll be willing.”
“In your dreams.”
The young girls were laughing and gossiping as they browsed the online forums.
Grace did not know what they would think if they knew that she had met Brian in the middle of the night.
“Grace, what’s wrong with you?” Claire said.
“Nothing.” She came back to her senses, returned the tools,
and changed out of her work uniform.
When she put on her casual clothes, she looked at the scar on the palm of her right hand. This was from the night of
Thanksgiving. In order to wake herself up, she had gripped some broken pieces of mirror. Fortunately, it had not injured the tendons of her hand.
