Chapter 53 I Just Like Holding Grudges

A misunderstanding?

It was a huge misunderstanding!

Grace narrowed her eyes dangerously, and the image of this fellow humiliating her flashed vividly through her mind. It wasn’t as simple as a tiny misunde

“That’s a coincidence. It’s just who I am.”

She was great in all aspects, except for the fact that she loved holding grudges.

Remembering Aaron’s instructions, Grace felt a sense of satisfaction in teasing Timothy by not telling him her true identity and watching him run around

“You’d better stay far away from me,

me, understand?”

Timothy wasn’t listening at all. Instead, he focused on opening the box.

Inside, there was an emerald bracelet that emitted a soft glow, and one look was enough to tell that it was very expensive.

It was several hundred times better than the one Yvonne had slapped away in a huff before.

“Last time I said that I would give you a token of my appreciation. Have a look and see if you like it.”

Timothy had spent a long time selecting this emerald bracelet and had put in a lot of effort to ask numerous experts before purchasing it. He was full of sincerity.

“Take it away. I don’t need them.”

“Milady, I like you,” Timothy confessed again.

He radiated dazzling confidence and was handsome and passionate. Even if anyone really did have a feud with him, they would be swayed by how dashing he was. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

‘However, the person in front of him was Grace.

“I don’t like you.”

“Why?”

“You’re not my type.”

Timothy seemed hurt. Even his dream woman had her ideal type. He struggled for a moment, then decided that he would work hard in the direction given.

He said, “Please be more specific.”

Grace raised her watch and prepared to say something.

“Don’t talk to me like you do at work. It’s after work hours now.” Timothy was earnest, and he was obviously still affected by how she had yelled at him before.

Grace only realized that 6:00 pm had passed after glancing at her watch.

“You can’t corner your boss during work hours, so what makes you think you can do it after work?”

Timothy swallowed in trepidation. “I know you’re not a bad–tempered person. Is there perhaps some misunderstanding between us?”

Grace’s expression was cold. “You’re stupid, and that would influence the IQ of my future child.

”

Timothy felt like he had just heard the world’s biggest joke. After all, he had a high IQ of 167. ” I’m afraid your reason is difficult to believe.”

Grace raised an eyebrow. “Is that so? But I heard that there’s a difficult project that your department has still not managed to acquire. Isn’t your stupidity the reason for that?”

Timothy realized at once that she was talking about the competing options ownership rights with Mardovia’s Morgan Bank.

This project was undoubtedly a little difficult. Although he had tried a few strategies, Morgan Bank was still holding him at bay. He couldn’t make headwa

He didn’t need Grace to say anything further. He had already been provoked by the other party and their dominance.

He had just decided to make his move so that they could see his abilities.

Timothy said confidently, “Milady, I will definitely get this project and show you that I have the best brain.

“When it’s done, can you treat me to a meal?”

Seeing that she had succeeded in inciting him, Grace didn’t reject him any further. “Prove your capabilities, and then we’ll talk.”

Timothy grinned broadly, as if this wasn’t anything difficult. “No problem. Wait for me to bring back good news.”

Grace’s chauffeur had come to pick her up in a Porsche, so she left promptly after that.

At night, Grace called Aaron and reported the results proudly.

Aaron smiled fondly at the other end of the line. “Got it. I’ve prepared the presents already. I’ll get Luke to take it, and he’ll attend to the Barnes Group project with you tomorrow.”

“Aaron, are you saying that you’ll let Luke come and help me?” Grace was anxious.

Luke Ziegler had been by Aaron’s side for ten years, and you could say he was Aaron’s right- hand man.

Now that Aaron was sending such an important person to her, it was clear how much he acknowledged and supported Grace.

“Yes, I know that you can deal with all this, but I would feel more assured if he was there.” “Aaron, you’re so great.” Grace felt a warmth rising in her heart.

Since she had returned to Pamore, so many people had been waiting to see her make a fool of herself. But Aaron’s support was her strongest comfort.

“What nonsense are you talking about? Sleep early.” Aaron laughed lightly and hung up.

Grace slept soundly through the night.

The next day, she got out of bed and yawned as she came to the living room.

Luke was already fully dressed and had been waiting since early in the morning. He introduced himself, saying, “Hello Ms. Grace, I’m Luke, and I’ll be ad

His tone was clear, and there was no hint of flattery or fawning. He was the professional type of person that Grace approved of.

“Alright.”

She looked at the pile of gift boxes on the table. They were obviously the presents that Aaron had asked Luke to bring over. She leaned leisurely on the

Inside, there was a Chopard 201–carat watch encrusted with diamonds that glittered in the light.

The design was elaborate, and at a conservative estimate, it was worth around 300 million dollars.

She put it on and looked at it, then smiled contentedly. Aaron’s taste was impeccable as always.

Later, Grace and Luke went to the office.

In the general manager’s office, Luke reported skilfully on the morning data, and Grace checked each of them one by one to make sure there were no problems.

Just then, Cameron burst into the room, despite the secretary’s efforts to block him.
