Steal my heart by Savannah Kade

Chapter 69 Late Night Roadside Encounter As that day passed, Gloria insisted that she would wait until Grace recovered before letting her cto work.

After Grace recovered, she resumed her life at work and seemed to be the sas before.

But these days, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get any work.

Her manager, Manager Xu wouldn't arrange work for Grace.

On Gloria's side, she definitely would not go against Caden's words.

Grace sat alone in the Public Relations Department's lounge. She was already off duty.

"Finally off duty, I'm exhausted, that client is really generous today," successively, there were more people in the lounge. People were laughing and discussing the results of today's battle, but Grace sitting at the side dreaming. She looked up, and a woman took out a large neat stack of bills. The thickness of which was at least thirty to fifty thousand. Grace stared at the bills in her hands but was caught by the other party.

"Yo, Grace," the person twisted her waist, and her eyes were all teasing, "What? You like this?" She dangled the money in her hand in front of Grace's eyes.

"I say, Grace, I think you should simply stop embarrassing yourself in this Personal Relations Department too. How long have you had nothing to do?" "Jenny, don't you dare show your money in front of Grace. Just this little bit of money of yours, Grace doesn't even care about it. Grace makes big money; she doesn't care about this little money of yours." That Jenny's mouth was agape, "That's true, who can bend and flex like her? I don't want any of that money." Grace looked at the wall clock hanging on the wall and stood up silently. She got her things and walked around Jenny as she headed out.

"Stop!" Jenny snapped petulantly, "What do you mean, Grace?" Grace turned her head towards Jenny in puzzlement and asked slowly, "What do you mean by what?" "You!" Jenny's beautiful eyes glared and pointed at Grace's nose in exasperation, "I'm talking to you! What do you mean by leaving without answering? Are you looking down on me?" Hearing the unnecessary accusation, Grace only felt spain in her brain, and explained in a good-natured manner, "Time's up, I'm off duty." If you're off duty, shouldn't you be back in your dorm? "What do you mean by that, again?" "I ..." did she say something wrong again? The one she was talking to was called Jenny. Grace knew Jenny but didn't know when she had offended Jenny too. On second thought, not wanting to have an argument with anyone, she sighed, looked at Jenny, and said slowly.

"If I've offended you anywhere, I'll apologize." Is that fine? Of course, she knew that she picked on Grace first. She thought that if Grace couldn't help herself and fight with her, she could then go to Manager Xu and sue her.

She didn't expect that Grace wouldn't want to quarrel with her, nor would she want to get involved with the people around her. But Grace's apology showed her Jenny's domineering attitude instead.

"Well, you want to apologize, right? Then let's get real!" In anger, Jenny raised her arm and was about to swing it down when she suddenly heard a harsh yell from the doorway.

"Jenny, what are you doing!" "Manager Xu... "Jenny was dumbfounded, but in the next moment she reacted and shouted, "Manager Xu, you can make decisions for me, Grace looked down on me." "Quarrel, all you do is quarrel all day long, Jenny. Speak for yourself, you just quarrelled with Annie two days ago, and now you're quarrelling with Grace. All you do is quarrel with people everywhere, can you do something more serious!" Manager Xu gave a sharp glare at the aggrieved Jenny.

In the past, she would not have said so. But... Manager Xu took a look at the silent Grace in front of her. If she didn't know the inside story, she wouldn't have believed that Grace and the mysterious big boss of the Royal International Entertainment Club had a connection.

"Manager Xu, it's obviously her..." "Alright, it's tto get off work." Manager Xu directly interrupted Jenny, giving her a cold glance and warning her in a stern voice, "When working at Royal Club, peace and quiet is number one. Don't pick any more trouble." She looked at Jenny again... she had warned her, as to whether or not Jenny listened, it was up to her own.

Grace sighed, grabbed her things, and left the lounge.

Out of the Royal Club, she walked to the direction of the dormitory.

The night wind was shivering, and the woman was walking alone on the sidewalk.

A car, slowly driving by from behind, followed Grace.

The car window rolled down, a magnetic baritone voice melodiously sounded: "Miss James, we meet again." Hearing the voice, Grace turned around, and in the car window, a handsface showed up, his eyes shone under the bright and indefinite streetlight.

"Oh... it's you. You can go if you're busy." She thought the other party was just passing by and said politely. She thought that after saying this, the person would leave.

She walked three to five meters further, and the car moved alongside her at a very slow pace.

Suspiciously, she looked over, "Is something wrong?" The man in the car pulled his lips together and smiled, "Do I have the honour of inviting Miss James into the car?" "No, my dorm is just up ahead." This man was dangerous, and instinctively, she didn't really want to get too close to someone dangerous.

"What if I told you that I must take Miss James back to your dormitory?"

Grace stopped walking and turned around to face the man in the car "Sir, it's off-duty time." She meant F that she's off duty now, and he's not her client.

The man in the car laughed lightly, picked up the wallet on the passenger seat and and shooka stack of bills towards Grace, "Why don't Miss James just consider it as working overtime?" She should have said no, but... the money! What she desperately needed was money, wasn't it? Caden's five million, having to pay off within a month... but she recently could not get a job.

If this continued... how could she save up five million for the ransom of freedom? The man in the car's lips overflowed with a smile... she really did love money.

But this is the best. He was lacking everything but money. He had so much money that it's impossible to finish spending them in this lifetime.

After a while, Grace's rasping voice slowly opened her mouth and asked: "What can I... do for you in exchange for your tip?" The man in the car was surprised, the corner of his mouth grinned deeper... interesting, love money, but not for nothing? But let's get real, how many women in the Public Relations Department didn't want a huge amount of money for nothing? "Nothing needs to be done, just sit next toand letwalk you back to your dorm." What lovely words. A handsome, rich prince saying this sentence to a lady late at night on the road. No matter how you look at it, it is so affectionate.

For a woman, if she was not to be moved, her heart would still be touched.

However, the woman on the pavement had her head buried and was silent for a long tas if she was thinking and considering something. The man in the car didn't force or bothered her. After about five more minutes, the woman raised her head and said slowly in a raspy voice, "Sir, may I cook you a bowl of noodles?"☐☐☐ X
