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 cdownstairs. 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 of my gratitude. If you need help in the future, you can ctoat any time. I'm-" She hadn't finished when the man blurted out, "One of the directors of Amirate. Grace Lewis." Grace's eyes widened. "You know who I am?" The man looked resigned and gestured for her to sit. "I'm not that much older than you. You can relax." "But I don't even know your nyet." "My nis Shawn. Shawn Griffin." Grace mulled over the name. "That's a very nice name, just like the nthat you gave your teahouse." He looked at her for a few seconds and then laughed suddenly before instructing Martha to serve tea.

"You're very famous. I often see you on the business and finance news." So that was how he knew her.

"You knew who I was, but you didn't try to get anything from me, even though you helped me. There aren't many people like you, and I respect you for it," Grace said smoothly.

Shawn didn't reveal anything. "Do you always flatter people this much?" Although it was an offensive comment, for sreason, Grace wasn't angry at all. In fact, she felt like there was a natural intimacy between the two of them.

"I do this with strangers. If you don't like it, then I won't speak that way." The smile in Shawn's eyes becmore pronounced.

Grace suddenly thought of something. "Oh right. What did you do with the teahouse?" "I'm rebuilding it." "Rebuilding it? How long is that going to take? If you need any help, you can—" "I can look for you." He finished her sentence. "Ms. Lewis, you're very enthusiastic." Grace smiled in embarrassment. "I don't know why, but I feel like we were destined to meet. It seems like we have met somewhere before." When she said this, Shawn's hand stopped in mid-air, and tea spilled out of the cup he was holding. His gaze was sharp.

This startled Grace. She seemed to have seen those eyes somewhere before.

However, she didn't know where.

"I ... I have a brother who's an actor. He usually wears a cap and a mask as well, so I feel very close to you." Shawn gripped his cup tightly. There was an imperceptible flash of disappointment in his eyes.

"Your brother's a star. I can't compare with him." "It's just a job. In the end, we're all just ordinary people." Grace thought of Caleb and said without thinking, "He's usually very talkative and doesn't put on airs at all. He's very easy to get along with, and everyone who meets him likes him." sŵ"It's a pity I haven't had the chance to meet him." Grace was sharp enough to catch his meaning. "Do you have ton Saturday? Byte Technologies' Black Friday gala is taking place nearby, and my brother will be there can take you to meet him!' Shawn frowned. He hadn't expected Grace to take his casual comment so seriously, but when he looked into her earnest eyes, he didn't have the heart to reject her. S one "...
