Steal my heart novel (Grace James and Caden Shaw)

Chapter 305 I Don’t Want the Gratitude Verbally

The meeting lasted for nearly an hour.

All along, Cayne stayed at the corner of the bar, drinking and chatting with the Secretary-General.

It was not until Grace walked out of the door that the man elegantly put down the cup in his hand and

stood up.

“Let’s go. We’ve been in the plane and haven’t rested. Are you tired? Let me take you back to your

room.”

“Cayne, wait a moment. Long time no see. Don’t you want to have a drink with me?”

Miffel leaned against the door and looked at him with a smile.

When Grace heard this, she became relaxed. “In that case, I won’t disturb you.”

Her reaction was keenly captured by Cayne. The light in his deep pupils dimmed slightly. He was

smart, so he knew what to do next. And he didn’t insist on sending Grace away.

“Alright,” the man tilted his head and said to Miffel, who was leaning against the door. “It’s just that it’s

late at night. A gentleman shouldn’t let a woman leave alone.” As he said that, he glanced at the

secretary-general and hinted, “Do you want your secretary-general to make another trip?”

Miffel was very tactful and said to the secretary-general, “Take this lady back to her room and make

sure her safety.”

“Yes, sir.”

After he left, there were only two outstanding men in the large reception room.

“Is that her? You owe me a favor to let me fly here?”

“Is she important?” Miffel walked elegantly to the bar and poured another glass of whiskey. “Another

glass?” He raised his glass at Cayne and signaled.

“I desperately want to get her. And I also want to hide her from others.” Whether it was important or not,

he didn’t know. “Leon wanted me to ask you if that person is alright.”

“Leon?”

“Huh. It’s been so many years, but he still didn’t let it be.”

“I used to think that only Asians would be so conflicted.”

“But now when I see you, I know that you’re finished.”

“Are you and Leon so self-righteous?” Cayne chuckled without further explanation.

Miffel had the glass of wine, “She’s great.”

“I know. She’s always been great.” Speaking of Grace, Cayne was pride. It was as if his things had

been praised.

“Her negotiating skills are amazing. God, who did she learn from?”

“I think the person who taught her such excellent negotiation skills must be very powerful.”

“You seldom think so highly of anyone, Miffel. I only warn you once. Stay away from her.” Cayne’s gaze

darkened.

Miffel’s lips twitched. “You’re really done, Cayne. Well, are you Hunter I know?”

“It has nothing to do with you. You just need to remember that you must stay away from her.”

Miffel couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

“I just admire her negotiating skills.”

“I have met many experts in negotiation at home and abroad.”

“In terms of negotiation skills from a technical point of view, she is still immature.”

“I say that she is skilled in negotiation because she has skills and sincerity at the same time.”

“She said her intentions to work together as well as the shortcomings. But she also said that she was

determined and able to handle every detail even with these shortcomings. I like her sincerity and

confidence.”

“There were many partners who just reported us good news instead of bad news. Her frankness,

confidence, honesty, analysis are persuasive. And it is easy for people to calm down and listen to her

opinions.”

“Sure enough, Cayne. Well done, Hunter.”

For some reason, the name Hunter had once made Cayne feel honored. Today, it sounded worse. For

no reason, he was distracted. He touched his head. Cayne was inexplicably irritated. He picked up the

wine in front of him and drank it abruptly.

“If possible, I just want to be her Hunter.” In the midst of his irritation, he didn’t think too much about it

and admitted directly. He quickly spoke out of his inexplicable irritation.

He turned around and strode away.

Miffel stared blankly at the figure that had left in a hurry... “Good!”

Did all of them go crazy?

Even though he knew it was dangerous, he still fell into it happily?

No, no, no, no. He was not going to be like these two people.

...

Grace’s cell phone had been muted when she learned that she was going to meet Miffel, the top in the

industry.

When she returned to the guest room, she sat on the bed wrapped in a towel after a shower. The

screen on the bedside table lit up. Only then did she remember that her phone had been muted.

She picked it up and hesitated when she saw Vivian’s name.

“Hello?” In the end, she still pressed the answer button.

“Grace, why did you answer the phone? I called so many times that I couldn’t contact with you. I almost

called the police.”

On the other end of the phone, Vivian hurriedly said while Grace apologized hurriedly, “Don’t be angry. I

just had something important.”

“What is the important thing? You don’t even have time to make a phone call.” Grace understood her.

Vivian looked smart and capable, but in fact, she was scary when she got angry. Grace knew that she

was in the wrong and hurriedly mentioned Miffel.

“Miffel. I met Miffel.”

On the other side of the phone, there was instantly silence. One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Grace counted silently.

“Miffel? Miffel of the Domen Group?”

Screaming excitedly came from the microphone. Grace immediately moved her phone far away from

her ear. “Be quiet. I’m going to be deaf.”

“Don’t worry about that. Tell me, you mean the Miffel from the Domen Group in France?”

“You meet Miffel?

Is he handsome?

Did you guys talk?

What did he say?

Does he know the James Group?

Did you guys talk about the cooperation?

Did he agree?”

Vivian had just finished asking a question and Grace was about to answer. But she was stopped by a

series of questions on the phone.

She had no choice but to stop.

“As for the cooperation, I want to try. Vivian, Miffel seems to be very interested in my proposal. As for

the project we discussed privately, I think you might have to work overtime tonight to sort out the

information and send it to my email.”

“I must seize the time to come up with a plan.”

“Right, right, right! Strike while the iron is hot! President James, don’t worry. I’ll sort out the information

into a document tonight and send it to your email.”

Grace slightly frowned. As for Vivian, when she was angry, she always called Grace intimately. But

when she encountered something at work, she immediately called her President Grace.

Naturally, this kind of standpoint and attitude towards work could not be better.

However, this kind of conversion really made her helpless.

“Oh right!”

“I almost forgot something important.”

“Grace, it’s about the thing you told me, that idiot... President Shaw is quite good. You can feel assured

in Sanya. Don’t worry, he is obedient. He eats food and cooks it himself.”

“Well. Is that so?”

That was why she escaped because of him.

It was the same whether she was here or not, right?

Therefore, whether he was sober or not, Grace was just an indispensable name in his life. It was a

meaningless name.

She put on her pajamas and walked to the balcony. The wind blew on her body. It was not cold in

Sanya.

She didn’t know what she was thinking, and why she had already escaped to this place, but she was

still suffocated, unable to breathe.

She shouldn’t be nice to him or close to him, but that morning, she personally helped him. She

shouldn’t have any more entanglements with him for such an intimate matter!

Yes, she didn’t do anything wrong. She shouldn’t have been merciful towards him.

Vivian’s efficiency had always been astonishing.

When Grace woke up, she had already received an email from Vivian.

The doorbell rang.

“Room service? Wait a moment.”

She woke up early in the morning and didn’t have time to change clothes. She was still wearing a

nightgown. She tidied up the nightgown and opened the door.

“Good morning.”

“Why do you come so early?” She looked at her nightgown, which was neat and tidy, and then looked

at the person. “Come in.”

“Work?”

Grace said, “Yes, Cayne, thank you for introducing me this time. It really helped me a lot.” She walked

to the teahouse, “What do you want to drink? Tea or coffee?”

“Water.”

“Wait a moment.” She flushed the cup while boiling water.

In front of the washing stand, a tall figure suddenly appeared behind the woman. The smell of male

filled her nose instantly. “It is not a good habit to bring work on vacation.”

The woman left the tea room without a trace.

“This is a great opportunity. Cayne, I can’t lose. I can’t lose the James Group either.” She looked at

Cayne sincerely. The sincerity in her eyes attracted him in an instant, making him forget to breathe. It

was also at that instant that he couldn’t understand her.

It wasn’t her words but her eyes that attracted him. He was like a gambler who was racing against the

clock in the end.

He suddenly became panicked, pretending not to care. He laughed happily and said,

“Grace, do you want to eat breakfast?”

“Breakfast at Banyan Manor was quite delicious.”

“Even if you have to work, you have to have strength, don’t you?”

“Wait a moment. I’ll change my clothes.” It was reasonable that she had to eat something to be

energetic.

For the next week, she locked herself in her room and worked on the plan. Cayne would come to her

from time to time and ask her to eat together. Sometimes, she saw him not doing anything. He just

played games in afternoon. And he lay down on her sofa every time.

He hadn’t disturbed her, so she was accustomed to it since he had done so many times.

As for her, she was completely focused on the latest plan that week. She didn’t waste any second.

Vivian no longer called her. Instead, they contacted through WeChat. Every day, she said that

everything was fine.

It was both expected and unexpected to take down the cooperation with Miffel. When they signed,

Grace suddenly became happy. It seemed that the long-awaited matter had finally been completed.

It was also at this moment that there was no reason for her to stay here anymore.

“Thank you, Cayne.”

He really helped her a lot. If it weren’t for Miffel, she would have made such progress.

Without Cayne, there would be no chance of meeting Miffel.

She bent down and bowed. Of course, this was definitely not enough, but it could show her gratitude.

When she bent down, she was held by a powerful hand on her shoulder. She looked up in confusion.

He only saw his handsome and resolute chin. He looked down and stared at her with a burning gaze.

His voice was hoarse and confusing,

“Thank you?”

“Grace, I don’t want the gratitude verbally.”

“I know that you’ve helped a lot. Of course, it’s not enough. If I can...”

“Shhhh.” The man stopped her and squinted at her, “Grace, if you really want to thank me, I just want Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

you.”

What?

She didn’t react for a long time. Only when she reacted did she realize the meaning of that sentence.

Slowly, she straightened her back and pulled his palm. She turned around, and left without saying a

word.

The man was anxious and suddenly grabbed her arm. “Grace, I’m joking. Don’t take it seriously...”

“Is that so?” She was calm as she stared at him. “Is it a joke? Are you sure?”

Were you sure? He became nervous!

He couldn’t lie any longer.

He couldn’t lie to himself.

Were you kidding? Was it really a joke?

The man clenched his teeth and said, “So what if it’s not a joke?” Wasn’t he good enough? Couldn’t he

compare to Caden? He treated her much better than any other woman!

“It’s not a joke...” She smiled, but the smile was cold. She slowly looked at the man in front of her.

“Then what’s the difference three years ago?”

What was the difference three years ago?

The man’s body stiffened by a single sentence. “Yes, I misunderstood you three years ago, but you’re

not what I thought. Now I know you better.”

The woman looked down and concealed the self-mockery in her eyes. He knew her better?

She could no longer know herself.

Three years ago, he used money to hunt for what you wanted. Three years later, he still used an

opportunity to hunt for what he wanted.

The only difference was that the money from back then had become an opportunity. If one had to say

the difference between the two, then it was probably that this man had grown up and the games were

not childish.

Young and frivolous men liked to use money directly, while older men weren’t so direct.

But, was there a difference?

In the end, she did not say these hurtful words. She only stared at the man’s face.

“Money that year, and opportunities today are the same. Cayne, you are an outstanding hunter. An

outstanding hunter improves himself, but the hunter’s goal is just to hunt the prey in his eyes.” After

saying this, she knew that he understood.
