After a while, Mike finally ended with, "Please."


    Grace was stunned. "What''s wrong?"


    Mike looked atn and returned to his normal expression with a smile. He asked, "You didn''t bring this gentleman herest time. Who is he?"


    "My little brother," Grace said straightforwardly.


    Mike was speechless.


    It became quiet for a while. Only Grace and Carson sat down without batting an eyelid. The siblings looked at them at the same time, their gazes filled with bewilderment.


    Mike''s eyes widened so much that his eyes were at risk of falling out. He drank arge ss of ice water to calm his shock.


    They talked about the coboration they had discussed the other day. To Grace''s surprise, Mike apologized solemnly and gave in.


    Grace was curious about what kind of person Lewis was. Before she left, she couldn''t help but ask about Lewis. Mike just smiled without saying anything.


    After leaving the clubhouse, Grace was in a good mood. She pattedn''s shoulder and asked, n, what do you want to eat? It''s my treat."


    "It''s my honor to be treated by you, Grace. I''ll eat whatever you treat me to,"n answered.


    Carson shook off the goosebumps on his body and walked ahead silently.


    Grace said, "I wanted to treat you to my country''s food, but it''s a pity that it''s not very authentic in Merion. Let''s have pasta. I''ll treat you again if you visit my country."


    A look of disappointment appeared onn''s face. "You''re leaving?"


    Carson could not help butin, "If we don''t leave, are you going to support Grace?"


    "Sure,"n agreed.


    Carson was speechless.


    Grace rolled his eyes at Carson. "Stop fooling around and let''s eat."


    The coboration was finalized. To celebrate, Grace ordered a bottle of wine.


    However, Grace did not expectn to


    be drunk after drinking a ss. Looking atn, who was lying on the table with a red face, Grace felt a little guilty.


    Carson sneered. "He probably hasn''t even drunk alcohol before."


    Grace smiled helplessly.


    After dinner, Grace and Carson sentn back to the hotel.


    Whenn woke up, it was already night. The room was pitch-ck. He hurriedly turned on the bedsidemp. As he was about to get out of bed, he saw the stack of cash on the bedside table. Under the cas note.


    was a


    [This money is enough for you to stay here for a week. If you really can''t go home, find a job.]


    "Grace..."n gently uttered her name as the smile on his face grew wider.


    *****


    When Grace left the airport, she saw Brian. He drove a very shy yellow Ferrari today and parked it at the side of the road.


    Many tourists were waiting for cabs by the roadside. The onlookers kept taking photos with their phones. When Grace came out, Brian saw her. He got out of the car and opened the door for her. He asked gently, "Are you tired?"


    Grace felt very ufortable being watched by so many people. She did not get into the car. She frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"


    "Grace, don''t you want to see me?"


    There was hurt in Brian''s eyes. He took out a bouquet of roses from


    the car. "I didn''t send you off on the day of your business trip. This


    bouquet is my apology."


    Grace was speechless.


    Whispers erupted around them. Grace massaged her throbbing temples and saw a cab driving toward them. She went forward and hailed it. She got into the cab.


    Carson hurriedly followed Grace and they went off.
