Carson nced atn. His intuition told him thatn was not simple. He was definitely not as innocent as he looked. Still, Carson nodded politely. "Thanks."


    Grace was tired. She yawned and said, "Let''s go in. Get him a room. I''m hungry and sleepy."


    "Thanks, Grace,"n said.


    After getting a room, they went to the hotel restaurant for dinner. During the meal, Carson talked to Grace about work. "Carson, do we still want to discuss the business deal with Damir?"


    Grace snorted. "Discuss my ass. Thepany has no foresight and no courtesy. If it weren''t for my friend, I''d have sshed coffee on his assistant that night."


    Carson nodded slowly, feeling regretful.


    After a while, Grace''s phone suddenly rang. She nced at it and frowned. "Why is it him?"


    "What''s wrong, Grace?" Carson asked.


    "It''s Mike Jankins," Grace told Carson before answering the phone and politely asked Mike what was up. However, Grace did not expect Mike to be more polite than her. He even sounded like he was trying to please her. "Hello, Miss Sherman. Are you still in Merion?"


    "I''m preparing to return to home tomorrow. What''s the matter?" Grace asked lightly. Mike''s attitude was so humble and had changed so much. She could guess Mike wanted.


    "Miss Sherman, it''s like this. Our boss has seen your proposal and thinks it''s excellent. Hopefully, we can discuss the coboration in detail tomorrow. If it dys your return, we will help pay for the ne tickets," Mike said.


    Grace was silent for a while. She looked up at Carson and replied, "Tell your boss thanks."


    "It''s only right. Which hotel are you staying at? I''ll arrange for a driver to pick you up tomorrow," Mike asked.


    Grace gave Mike the hotel''s name. Mike politely said goodbye and hung up.


    After the call ended, Grace pursed her lips. "What''s wrong with Mr. Burley?"


    Carson said, "Maybe that assistant was too snobbish and got scolded by his boss." Grace shook her head. "Let''s be careful tomorrow. If you''re tired, go up and sleep."


    Grace stood up and looked atn again. "You heard me, right? I have a business deal tomorrow. You can stay at the hotel or contact your parents and ask them to pick you up


    Carson felt goosebumps erupt all over his body. "You''re not a three-year-old child. Are you afraid that bad people will kidnap you if you stay in the hotel?" Carson said.


    IMS


    Grace thought for a moment and waved her hand. "Fine. You cane with us.''


    Carson was a little unhappy withn. Ian didn''t look like a boy or girl and liked to act cute. He felt thatn was no different from a sissy.


    Grace was sleepy and wasn''t in the mood to talk. She went upstairs to wash up.


    *****


    The next day, the car sent by Mike


    arrived at the hotel. The driver opened the door for Grace


    respectfully. This time, they had chosen a clubhouse, which was


    more ssy than the previous hotel.


    Walking into the private room, Mike shook Grace''s hand with a smile. "Hello, Miss Sherman. Thanks for


    making another trip. This way..."


    Mike''s gaze fell onn''s face, and he stopped talking.
