Brian pushed aside the women standing before him and strode towards Grace. Grace and Darren had headed to the rest area to sit and chat.


    Darren was pleasant and polite. Grace felt veryfortable chatting with him.


    "Miss Nova, um... may I ask if you have a boyfriend?"


    Grace shook her head lightly.


    Darren was overjoyed and smiled. He feared offending Grace, so he did not ask any more questions about her rtionship status.


    He asked, "By the way, what are your hobbies?"


    "I''ve been enjoying snooker."


    Darren''s eyes lit up. He said excitedly, "I like it too! Did you go to watch thetestpetition?"


    Grace replied, "I did."


    Darren''s eyes widened as if he had missed a golden opportunity. He sighed and said, "I went to the event, too, but I didn''t see you. If I did, I could have gotten to know you earlier."


    Graceughed, saying, "It''s not that big of a difference to get acquainted now."


    Darren grinned and suggested, "Shall we y snooker together sometime?"


    Grace responded, "Unfortunately, I''m not good at it."


    "It''s okay! I can teach you. I''m quite good at snooker," Darren said quickly.


    Suddenly, a cold voice interrupted their conversation, saying, "She doesn''t need you to teach her."


    Darren frowned slightly. When he saw that the person who interrupted them was Brian, he smiled politely at thetter.


    "Mr. Francis, what do you mean?"


    Grace frowned as she looked at Brian. She questioned, "What are you doing here?"


    Brian pursed his lips. He was green with envy. He had just seen Grace chatting happily with Darren, yet she treated him coldly.


    He was angry and jealous but didn''t dare to throw a tantrum.


    Brian said unhappily, "Do you want him to teach you snooker? Do you remember what happened the other day?"


    Grace said coldly, "This has nothing to do with you."


    Brian massaged his throbbing temples. He could already imagine Grace flirting with another man. Since Brian could not get angry at Grace, he looked at Darren gloomily.


    Brian dered, "Grace is mine. Mr.


    ё


    Flores, please keep your distance


    from her. I can ept the two of you being ordinary friends, but..


    "Who is yours?" Grace interrupted him coldly.


    swnov


    Grace added, "Brian, we have nothing to do with each other anymore. Please respect my friend and stop spouting nonsense here, okay?"


    Her rebuttal rendered Brian speechless, but he had noeback since they were unrted now. He could do nothing.


    He regretted divorcing her back then.


    не


    His facial expression was stern. He


    stared into Grace''s eyes and said confidently, "Yes, we''re unrted now But you''lle back to me sooner orter."


    He said this in the hope that Darren would back off.


    Unexpectedly, Grace immediately said ruthlessly, "Sorry, Mr. Brian. I''m no longer interested in you."


    She then said to Darren, "Mr. Darren, it''s too noisy here. Let''s go somewhere else."


    Brian''s facial expression turned sullen. Jasmine came over with a ss of wine and added fuel to his fire. She eximed, "Grace''s popr with the the guys. I barely did anything. I merely introduced them to each other. Mr. Flores''s eyes are glued to her now."


    Brian looked at Jasmine with an ugly expression and asked, "Do you think they lookpatible?"


    Jasmine smiled and said, "Of course not. Only you are worthy of Grace."


    "Humph! I doubt you truly mean what you said." Brian snorted and gulped down a mouthful of wine. Jasmine smiled knowingly. For some reason, she found it fun to see Brian jealous and having to bottle up his frustration.


    However, she was not worried that Grace would get together with Darren.


    Grace was an opinionated person. Jasmine could also tell that Grace still hated Brian.
