Chapter 83 What Are You Doing Here?
Since seeing the photos taken by those passersby, Ryan had been extremely excited, and that figure was etched in his mind, unforgettable.
The person in the photo was wearing Skigeth University's uniform. Ryan felt a desire for that figure, that waist, and those legs, even without seeing the face.
Up to now, he still didn't know anything about this woman.
Who on earth was she? So mysterious, was she really a goddess?
The more unattainable she seemed, the more Ryan wanted to get close.
Even being forced to kneel by Xavier for a day didn't diminish Ryan's passion; instead, it made him more determined to find her.
But at this moment, his father insisted that he have dinner and a date with Grace and reminded him not to forget about the trip to the resort with Grace.
Although Ryan didn’t want to see Grace at all, he thought that Grace seemed to have a good relationship with Xavier, so maybe Grace could find out something.
Just a few days ago, Xavier went to Grace's store.
Not only did he go, but he even knew that Grace had left the Lewis Group and started her studio.
His fiancée was kept in the dark about everything, yet Xavier seemed to know everything. When did their relationship become so good?
So, he drove straight to Grace's studio. Grace was still busy, and her newly hired assistant, Lily Kim, came over and said that someone was looking for her, so Grace asked her to take the person to the meeting room.
In recent days, numerous individuals seeking contracts have sought out Grace. However, Grace, consumed by her bustle, didn't ask who it was.
However, Ryan walked in directly. "Grace."
Grace didn't expect it to be Ryan; she just glanced at him and lowered her head. "What are you doing here?"
"Do you think I came here willingly? Dad asked me to invite you to dinner."
"I'm busy." She was so busy that she couldn't even spare time for Angela's dinner, so how could she possibly go to dinner with Ryan?
"This little broken studio of yours isn't that big. How come you're busier than me, the general manager?"
Grace ignored Ryan and continued with her work.
Her office wasn't particularly large, but it had a bookshelf behind her desk, and some contracts were placed there.
When Grace needed to find something, she stood up and tiptoed to search on the upper shelf of the bookcase.
Today, she was wearing a simple shirt with a pair of shorts.
Her legs were slender and straight, and her waist could be held with just one hand.
Suddenly, Ryan was stunned. It was the first time he had looked at Grace like this, and he realized that Grace had a really good figure.
It even resembled the woman in the photo.
Ryan swallowed, and at that moment, Grace turned around. When Ryan saw Grace's face, the passion he had just felt vanished instantly, and he even felt a strong sense of disgust.
He must have been out of his mind to think that Grace's figure was somewhat similar to that woman.
Just looking at her face now made him feel nauseous.
For some reason, he felt a sudden sense of irritability in his heart, as if there was a fire that needed to be vented urgently.
"I'm talking to you, and it's a rare occasion that I'm here to pick you up. It's your good fortune, so don't play games with me."
Grace didn't even raise her head. "Give that good fortune to someone else. Maybe Kelly would appreciate it more."
Was Grace deliberately ignoring him, pretending not to care, and then luring him in?
"My patience is limited. Now come with me for a meal, or I'll tear up this contract." Ryan picked up the contract that Grace had just found.
"Ryan!"
"I said my patience is limited."
"Put down the contract. I'll go with you, but I only have half an hour." It just so happened that Grace hadn't had dinner yet.
Ryan didn't care. Having a meal with Grace was just part of his task.
Ryan and Grace left the studio together, and his car was parked outside.
As they got into the car, Ryan hesitated.
He had promised Kelly that the front passenger seat was reserved for her, and if another woman sat there, Kelly would definitely be angry.
If he let Grace sit in the back, it would be like he was Grace's driver, which was unacceptable.
Ryan thought about it and was ready to give Grace the car keys. "You drive."
Having Grace chauffeur him was more like it.
"It's just a meal, and there are restaurants nearby," said Grace.
"Do you think I'd eat that kind of stuff?" Ryan retorted.
Grace found it troublesome. She thought the food around the studio was quite good.
"I have a car myself. Just send me the address, and I'll go there directly," Grace replied. Without waiting for Ryan, she got into her car, locked the door, and showed no intention of letting him in.
Unless necessary, she wouldn't get into Ryan's car; it was filthy.
Who knew how many times Kelly and Ryan had been intimate in there? Grace recalled Kelly's tweet with a photo taken in Ryan's car, boasting about her boyfriend's prowess, having depleted two boxes of condoms in a week—a disgusting thought.
Grace left first after Ryan shared the address with her.
She didn't expect the restaurant to be next to the hotel where Xavier had stayed before.
Even the hotel and the restaurant had the same owner, with a shared parking lot.
Ryan and Kelly had been to this hotel many times, and Ryan liked the restaurant's food, so he frequented it. Sometimes, after a meal or a few drinks, they would directly book a room in the hotel, which was very convenient.
There were still many parking spaces available, and Grace was about to park when another car rushed in and took a spot as if it were intentional.
Of all the parking spaces, just this one?
Grace was about to park at the back, but the car seemed to want to take that spot, too.
There were several empty spaces, but the car seemed determined to take that one. Grace smoothly parked in the adjacent spot. She turned off the engine, got out of the car, and saw Madison getting out of her car at the same time.
Grace wasn't surprised to see Madison; she knew it was her being petty.
"Grace, what are you doing here?" Madison had seen Grace's car and deliberately took the parking spot.
"Why can't I be here? This restaurant is yours," Grace retorted, ignoring Madison.
"You're the one who called me here?" Madison felt something was off. Yaeli invited her, saying she wanted to apologize and had a surprise for her. She asked her to dress up nicely and come.
Madison didn't know what the surprise was, but considering Yaeli's sincerity and the apology, she reluctantly came.
Seeing Grace here, she thought about Yaeli working at Grace's store. Was it Grace who asked her to come?
