Even this inadvertent action was still seen by him.<\/p>\n<p>As he looked at her, he took two steps back and chuckled, \u201cGrace, you\u2019re too nervous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She curled her palms and felt her hands were sweating. Of course she was nervous. She was going to meet that person&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cActually, there\u2019s no need to be in such a hurry. He has the habit of resting at Banyan Manor in Sanya every year. He usually stayed for a month.\u201d The man\u2019s Mandarin was not very standard and his voice was as hoarse as a cello.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, Grace, there\u2019s no need for you to meet that person immediately after getting off the plane. The journey was exhausting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She shook her head. Even now, her mind was still in chaos.<\/p>\n<p>She escaped without telling anyone.<\/p>\n<p>As for what she was running for, no one knew except her.<\/p>\n<p>After the silence, there was still silence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCayne, come in.\u201d In the end, Grace broke the silence first.<\/p>\n<p>What the woman did not see was that during the silence, the tall and handsome man beside her had been staring at her. His eyes were different from people in the east. And there was only the reflection of this woman in his eyes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlright.\u201d His deep cello-like voice was unexpectedly obedient. The man gently stretched out an arm. There was no need to say anything. The woman obediently stretched out her hand and held onto his arm. It was just a form of courtesy.<\/p>\n<p>However, the moment when the man\u2019s wrist was wrapped, a faint smile appeared on his face as he signaled to the waiters on both sides to open the door beside him.<\/p>\n<p>The door was opened.<\/p>\n<p>The melodious music rang out. And gentle yet dazzling lights were like stars sprinkling on the couple who arrived halfway.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the sudden arrival of them attracted the attention of the others at the banquet.<\/p>\n<p>Grace smiled, but she felt that perhaps it was because the man beside her was too dazzling.<\/p>\n<p>No matter how envious those people were, this was a memorable moment for Cayne.<\/p>\n<p>He looked down and gently glanced at the woman beside him. He could only see her gentle head. From the moment she held his wrist, he felt that his heart which had been empty for a long time seemed to be stuffed, and there was no more space left.<\/p>\n<p>If&#8230; if it could be like this forever.<\/p>\n<p>The man stopped thinking.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at the woman\u2019s head, his gaze landed on her long black hair.<\/p>\n<p>He suddenly remembered the popular saying on the Internet recently. Would you like to marry me when you were beautiful and mature with long black hair?<\/p>\n<p>Who did she wait for?<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly, this strange question popped into his mind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re really beautiful today. Your hair is so beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBe serious, Cayne. I said I was nervous. Do you believe me?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The man only smiled and said in his heart, \u201cI\u2019m not joking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the corner, it was noisy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s go.\u201d Cayne led the woman beside him to the place.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWait, wait a moment,\u201d she was still nervous, and sweat appeared on her palm. \u201cIs that Mr. Miffel?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo. Miffel is always mysterious. That\u2019s his secretary-general.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She was shocked for a moment, and looked towards the area deliberately. She was even more shocked. Everyone knew that Miffel had always been mysterious.<\/p>\n<p>Thinking about it carefully, this kind of nervousness only appeared when she first worked in the profession.<\/p>\n<p>Her palms suddenly tightened. She looked down and glanced. She saw that the person beside her had held onto her hand. It was as if it had been burned. However, at the moment when she was about to pull her hand, she became rational.<\/p>\n<p>She looked at him and smiled, \u201cI can do it. Don\u2019t worry.\u201d Then, she looked down and saw the two palms that were holding each other.<\/p>\n<p>Cayne loosened his grip thoughtfully.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh. Good, Cayne. I can\u2019t believe what I see.\u201d A soft, enthusiastic voice whispered in his ear.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs this your goddess?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When Grace looked at him, her palm, which was about to be loosened, suddenly clenched tightly. A low voice that was as gorgeous as a cello came from above her head.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The woman\u2019s smile was gentle as she was about to introduce herself, \u201cI\u2019m Grace, and we are fri&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe is my queen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The smile on the woman\u2019s face froze, \u201cNot funny.\u201d She whispered to the man beside her. The latter revealed a faint smile and slowly explained to Miffel, who was surprised.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA joke. An elegant gentleman should have a sense of humor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He blamed Miffel indirectly, but Miffel didn\u2019t get angry. Cayne then introduced them, \u201cGrace, the president of the James Group. Miffel, the founder of the Domen Group in France. He is the pioneer of the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHello, Grace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHello. Beautiful lady. I\u2019m Miffel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cayne let go of Grace\u2019s hand. \u201cYou guys have a talk. I\u2019ll go get a drink.\u201d He walked around to the bar at the corner and poured a cup. Then, he called the Secretary-General, \u201cDo you want to drink?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, Duke.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1509","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1509","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1509"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
