Chapter 466 Jealousy
The game coin landed heads up, and Sterling seemed unsurprised,"I won."
"How do you know God would favor you?" Grace still didn't believe it. Did Sterling have some luck boost?
"Let me toss it." Grace reached out to take the game coin.
Sterling hesitated for a moment, and Grace said, "What, is there a problem? It's just a game prop, right?"
"Of course not." It was just that this game coin had been with him for many years and no one else had ever touched it.
Grace took it and realized that the game coin seemed to be an old model.
For someone like Sterling who loved gambling, it wasn't surprising that he liked games too.
Grace checked it and found no issues, then she tossed it into the air and caught it in her palm.
Grace was silent.
It was still headed.
It seemed Sterling really was lucky.
Sterling smirked, "See, I told you God favors me. I'm so lucky; if you stick with me, you'll definitely get lucky too."
"How about we eat out? My treat, you can pick any restaurant."
"You just said we'd eat at your place. Are you trying to back out?"
Grace, willing to honor her bet, went to buy groceries and prepared to cook.
This was Sterling's first time at Grace's home. The house wasn't big, but it felt cozy.
Sterling hadn't seen such a warm place in a long time. Although he owned many properties, he didn't have a fixed place to stay, and those places were all empty, not like a home at all, not even as good as a hotel.
"Why don't you sit for a while? I'll go cook." Grace took the groceries into the kitchen.
Sterling wandered around, looking at things.
Grace, wearing an apron, was busy in the kitchen. He had to admit, Grace was really beautiful.
The first time he saw Grace, he was deeply struck.
Unfortunately, Grace's eyes were all on Xavier. She didn't even spare a glance for someone as good as him. She was truly blind.
Grace's cooking was done quickly, just some simple dishes.
She soon set the table and called Sterling over to eat.
Sterling sat across from Grace, picked up the utensils, and tasted the food without hesitation: "I didn't expect you to cook so well."
Grace said, "Xavier cooks even better."
He had honed his cooking skills.
"You don't need to tell me that. I'm not that interested."
"When are you leaving Skigeth?" Grace asked.
She found that Sterling wasn't as scary and detestable as the rumors said. He was sharp-tongued and pretentious, putting on a fierce front to make others fear him more.
"Are you so eager for me to leave?"
"Just asking. Whether you leave or not has nothing to do with me."
"Since you put it that way, I definitely can't leave. I said I would compete fairly with Xavier."
"I won't like you, and I know you're joking," Grace said.
"How do you know I'm joking? What if I really like you?" Sterling looked at Grace's face. Even without makeup, she had the charm to captivate people.
"Stop joking, Mr. Wallace. You've seen so many women; how could you possibly be interested in me?"
There were many people in this world, and Sterling must have met many outstanding women. Grace wouldn't delude herself into thinking Sterling was serious.
Sterling just smiled and said nothing.
The meal was soon over, and Grace said, "Our bet was just for a meal. It's getting late, Mr. Wallace. Shouldn't you be heading back?"
"Alright, see you tomorrow." Sterling stood up.
Grace said, "What do you mean tomorrow? There's a tomorrow?"
"Of course, I said this is my good opportunity. I'm leaving."
Sterling waved and left Grace's house.
Grace frowned at Sterling's back. What was he up to? Was he coming to her because Xavier was targeting him and he wanted to feel important?
Grace had just finished her bath when Xavier called her on video.
"Why didn't you reply to my messages?" Xavier's background was still his office.
"I was just having dinner."
"With whom?" Xavier asked casually.
Grace replied, "Sterling."
Xavier frowned, "What was he doing there? Did you have dinner together at your place?"
Xavier's series of questions clearly showed he was not pleased.
Grace said, "Yes, do you have a problem with that?"
"No problem." Xavier wasn't sure if he should act magnanimous at this moment, if he should give Grace some space, or if Grace would get angry otherwise.
"Really no problem?"
"Really no problem."
Grace said, "Alright, Sterling said he's coming to see me again tomorrow."
"Okay." Xavier responded indifferently.
"You're not angry?"
Xavier said, "It's just normal socializing. I trust you."
"Good, then I'll agree to meet him."
"Okay, does my magnanimity earn me some points?"
However, Grace's response was to hang up the call directly.
Xavier was stunned, not understanding what it meant.
Even though he acted magnanimous, he didn't feel that way inside.
That Sterling, he actually went to Skigeth again and dared to see Grace and have dinner with her!
Xavier immediately told Mason to get rid of Sterling, but Sterling seemed to have some tricks up his sleeve and didn't seem to care.
Xavier said, "Then have someone slash his tires or arrange for some people to put a sack over his head and beat him up when he goes out!"
Mason was silent.
When did Xavier become so childish?
Although Grace told Xavier she agreed to meet Sterling, she had no intention of doing so.
She and Sterling weren't even friends, so how could she do anything with him?
Although Sterling was not as bad as the rumors suggested, he was definitely not a good person. It was better to stay away from him.
After returning to the hotel, Sterling had nothing to do, so he called his assistant, Jace Reynolds, and asked Jace to bring him some fresh vegetables.
Jace thought he was hearing things.
"Mr. Wallace, are you hungry? Or do you want a salad?"
Fresh vegetables probably meant he wanted a salad.
"Stop talking so much. Just go get them!"
Although it was late at night and he didn't know where to find fresh vegetables, Jace still managed to get some.
When he arrived at the hotel, he saw Sterling in the kitchen. It seemed he really was hungry.
"Mr. Wallace, here's what you asked for."
In the middle of the night, what was Sterling up to?
But then Sterling looked at him and asked a shocking question.
