Chapter 627

Carson glanced at lan. His intuition told him that lan was not simple. He was definitely not as innocent as he looked. Still, Carson nodded politely. “Thanks.”
Grace was tired. She yawned and said, “Let’s go in. Get him a room. I’m hungry and sleepy.”
“Thanks, Grace,” lan said.
After getting a room, they went to the hotel restaurant for dinner. During the meal, Carson talked to Grace about work. “Carson, do we still want to discuss the business deal with Damir?”
Grace snorted. “Discuss my ass. The company has no foresight and no courtesy. If it weren’t for my friend, I’d have splashed coffee on his assistant that night.”
Carson nodded slowly, feeling regretful.
After a while, Grace’s phone suddenly rang. She glanced at it and frowned. “Why is it him?”
“What’s wrong, Grace?” Carson asked.
“It’s Mike Jankins,” Grace told Carson before answering the phone and politely asked Mike what was up. However, Grace did not expect Mike to be more polite than her. He even sounded like he was trying to please her. “Hello, Miss Sherman. Are you still in Merion?”
“I’m preparing to return to home tomorrow. What’s the matter?” Grace asked lightly. Mike’s attitude was so humble and had changed so much. She could guess Mike wanted.
“Miss Sherman, it’s like this. Our boss has seen your proposal and thinks it’s excellent. Hopefully, we can discuss the collaboration in detail tomorrow. If it delays your return, we will help pay for the plane tickets,” Mike said.
Grace was silent for a while. She looked up at Carson and replied, “Tell your boss thanks.”
“It’s only right. Which hotel are you staying at? I’ll arrange for a driver to pick you up tomorrow,” Mike asked.
Grace gave Mike the hotel’s name. Mike politely said goodbye and hung up.
After the call ended, Grace pursed her lips. “What’s wrong with Mr. Burley?”
Carson said, “Maybe that assistant was too snobbish and got scolded by his boss.” Grace shook her head. “Let’s be careful tomorrow. If you’re tired, go up and sleep.”
Grace stood up and looked at lan again. “You heard me, right? I have a business deal tomorrow. You can stay at the hotel or contact your parents and ask them to pick you up
lan widened his eyes and said pitifully, “Grace, don’t leave me behind.”
Carson felt goosebumps erupt all over his body. “You’re not a three-year-old child. Are you afraid that bad people will kidnap you if you stay in the hotel?” Carson said.
lan looked at Grace in anticipation.

Grace thought for a moment and waved her hand. “Fine. You can come with us.’
Carson was a little unhappy with lan. Ian didn’t look like a boy or girl and liked to act cute. He felt that lan was no different from a sissy.
Grace was sleepy and wasn’t in the mood to talk. She went upstairs to wash up.

The next day, the car sent by Mike
arrived at the hotel. The driver opened the door for Grace
respectfully. This time, they had chosen a clubhouse, which was
more classy than the previous hotel.
Walking into the private room, Mike shook Grace’s hand with a smile. “Hello, Miss Sherman. Thanks for
making another trip. This way…”
Mike’s gaze fell on lan’s face, and he stopped talking.
