Chapter 289 "Seriously?" I murmured, baffled. "Walt forto get off work?" What kind of was that? "A friend droppedoff earlier, I don't have a car," He extended his wrist towardas he spoke, showinghis watch. "You're about to clock out, too. Mind givinga lift back?" "I can call you a cab." I pulled out my phone, but he frowned slightly and said, "I never ride with strangers." I sighed helplessly inside, Fine then. Guess the prince has his quirks I had nothing to say "Then wait here." I turned and walked into my office, and it wasn't long before Christine sneaked in.

She teased, "What's with the Ford heir hanging around here? Can't seem to leave?" "Looking for a free nde,” I answered, somewhat resigned.

Christine sat across me, leaning her elbows on the desk, her hands propping up her face.

"I noticed the Myers ladies seemed pretty wary of him. Maybe you should try and get on his good side. Could cin handy if you ever need a favor." "Forget it" I dismissed the idea without a second thought, "Do you honestly think anyone can manipulate him?" Gregory might appear carefree, but he was sharp. Nobody could fool him, Christine wagged her finger. "No, no, not like that. I mean, genuine friendship "Get back to work, will you?"

And quite possibly, he had put a stop to my plans.

I gripped the steering wheel tighter, my tone cold, "Are you planning to protect your god-sister by teaching Ea lesson first?" "Are you always this prickly?" He glanced atindifferently, "You lash out at anyone who gets close." I paused, stunned,

The friendship between Gregory's family and the Myers family traced back generations, and his long-lost fiancée was from the family. By all accounts, they were closer to him than I could ever be. Hesitantly, I started, "So you..." Before I could finish, Susan' call cthrough!
