Chapter 68 Astounded! Why Hasn't Fiancé Arrived - Has Xavier Come?
<Chapter>Chapter 68 Astounded! Why hasn't fiancé arrived - Has Xavier come? </Chapter>
Caught off guard by this sudden gesture, Grace quickly took a step back.
Omari gently touched the hair above Grace's ear and said, "You have something here."
It was just a hair that got stuck without Grace realizing, and Omari removed it for her.
"Oh? Thank you!"
"Your presence here brings radiance to my little store. Come inside, have a seat, and I'll pour you a cup of coffee. Angela is also inside," Grace said, not making a big deal out of the incident just now.
"A few days ago, Angela sent me a photo of the store, and it looked beautiful. Why does it look different now?" Omari surveyed the surroundings and asked.
"Omari, it's all because of that, Madison," Angela complained. "A woman like Madison is just too much."
Grace went to pour a glass of water for Omari and handed it to him. When Omari reached out to take it, their fingers inevitably touched. Grace thought he had a firm grip on the glass, so she let go of her hand directly. However, the glass suddenly slipped from Omari's hand and spilled water all over Grace.
Seeing this, Omari quickly grabbed a tissue nearby to wipe Grace's hand and asked, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, but your clothes got wet." Grace pointed out the water stains on Omari's expensive suit.
Clothing doesn't matter, as long as you're fine. I'm sorry, I didn't hold it properly just now," Omari said.
"I should apologize. I thought you had it under control."
People nearby were still watching this scene, and Victor felt a sense of crisis. "This is getting serious. Omari has no good intentions. Based on my years in the entertainment industry, if Omari doesn't like Grace, then I'll write my name backward!"
"But I'm curious. This Grace doesn't seem particularly special, especially in terms of appearance. She's quite average. Yet you all seem to like her. Isn't that contradictory?" Victor was originally talking to himself, but then he glanced and saw his good friend walking straight towards them.
Upon seeing this, Victor quickly followed suit.
On this side, Angela continued speaking, "Grace is kind, so she let that Madison go."
"Madison paid the bill, but I'm not kind either," Grace added.
After hearing this, Omari spoke up, "Then do you need my help?"
Because Grace had her back to the door, she didn't see Xavier approaching.
Until a voice came from behind. "Ms. Lewis."
The familiar voice made Grace turn sharply.
"Xavier?" Grace looked at the man in front of her in disbelief.
Didn't Xavier say he didn't have time and wouldn't come?
"Mr. Montgomery, Mr. Hastings." Omari greeted the arriving people.
He reached out his hand to shake Xavier's, but Xavier just nodded as a greeting.
Victor then extended his hand and shook Omari's, avoiding any awkwardness.
"I didn't expect Mr. Turner to be here," Victor said.
Omari replied, "Grace is like a sister to me. When she started her business, it was only natural for me to attend. I just hadn't anticipated that Mr. Montgomery, amid his busyness, would also make an appearance."
Last time, he thought Xavier was not one to meddle, but Xavier carried Grace away and even lectured those people. Xavier was being too good to Grace.
And today, with Grace's brand opening, Xavier came as well.
Even though Grace was his niece-in-law, her fiancé didn't come.
Victor quickly explained, "Even if you are busy, you still have to go out and relax, right? It just so happened that I found out Graceful Grace had opened a store, so I dragged him along to relax."
The name Graceful Grace really gave Grace goosebumps. She and Victor shouldn't be that familiar.
"Mr. Hastings, just call me Grace."
"Just a name. It's all the same." Victor demonstrated a lack of concern for details.
Grace's gaze discreetly glanced at the man next to her. After he had called her once since arriving, he hadn't said anything.
But Grace never expected Xavier to come, and she was very happy about it.
"Congratulations, Graceful Grace. You're the boss now." Victor congratulated.
Shortly after, someone came in carrying gifts, which were from Victor.
"Thank you, Mr. Hastings."
Next to her stood Xavier, who also said, "Congratulations."
"Thank you. I thought you wouldn't come."
Xavier offered a brief, nonchalant reply, "Just passing by."
"Oh." Grace lowered her gaze, but even if he was passing by, she was still happy.
Xavier had already given his gift, but Grace didn't know.
Before the store opened, Xavier arranged for someone to discuss an order, which happened to be Iris's first order. It was a sizable order, and Xavier instructed others to contact the company. Each person in the company would receive a bottle as a gift.
Xavier had used Grace's perfume before, and even though he usually disliked the smell of perfume, he didn't mind it and even carried it with him. This completely proved the effectiveness of her perfume.
However, Grace had no idea that Xavier was the secret boss behind the order. He said that he saw Grace's promotion and wanted to order a little more because there was an event for the store opening.
Grace did notice that he had a store selling various brands, so she didn't think much of it.
On Grace's side, three handsome guys suddenly appeared, and the camera of the spokesperson Leroy, who was livestreaming, accidentally turned to them. Instantly, the fans in the livestream chat went wild.
"Three handsome guys in suits, this is the real boss!"
"Oh my god, what did I just see in a live stream with only a hundred viewers? I need to call my best friend to come and watch."
"Why are there so many handsome guys but so few people in the live stream? The store doesn't seem crowded either, and this shouldn't be the case."
"Give me the location, and I'll come right away!"
Although the camera flashed by, and they didn't even have time to screenshot it, some people still saw the three handsome faces.
Leroy saw this barrage of comments but didn't dare to tell his boss that the camera had briefly shown them in the live stream.
Xavier looked at Grace standing there, wondering if she had forgotten something.
After a minute passed and Grace still hadn't reacted, Xavier's voice sounded cold. "He has water; why didn't he pour us a glass?"
"Sorry, I forgot!"
Grace didn't want to risk spilling water like earlier, so she directly took out two bottles of mineral water and handed them to Xavier and Victor.
"Thank you." Victor didn't think much about it and took it, immediately starting to drink.
Xavier just glanced down and took it after two seconds.
His fingers were elegantly slender, with well-defined joints and rounded, glossy nails, resembling works of art.
Indeed, those who are visually appealing seem to possess an all-encompassing charm, a blatant favoritism from the heavens!
Xavier took it but only took a small sip.
Grace found it strange. She thought Xavier reminded her because he was thirsty.
