Chapter 109

Frowning, Stephanie asked, “Who could it be?”novelbin

Vincent wiped the comer of her lips with a tissue. “The truth will be revealed eventually. Insisting on an answer now might not yield results.”

Stephanie nodded.

“Eat more. You expended a lot of energy last night,” he suggested.

Hearing that, Stephanie was speechless.

Looking at her flushed face, Vincent chuckled. “Thave a social gathering tonight, so I might come back late!!

“Okay. I’ll prepare a hangover remedy for you,” she uttered.

if I’m not back by ten, just go to bed first,” he said.

“It’s fine, I’ll wait for you no matter how late it is,” she replied.

Warmth filled Vincent’s heart. “All right. I

I’ll try to come back early”

After finishing their meal, they headed to the underground parking.

Zane was already waiting there.

Because Vincent had a social gathering in the evening and couldn’t pick up Stephanie, she drove herself that day.

The two cars exited the parking lot one after the other into the traffic after leaving the residential area

Stephanie noticed Vincent’s car trailing behind her, escorting her to the design studio. Only then did Vincent’s car turn around and leave.

She went straight to Julianna’s office, and Julianna squinted.

“You did something last night!” Julianna exclaimed.

Stephanie glared at her. “Make me a cup of coffee.”

“Understood!” Julianna made her a cup of coffee, adding two sugar cubes. “Try this. It’s Robusta coffee beans that were delivered this morning”

Stephanie stirred the coffee with a spoon and took a sip. “It’s fragrant.”

Standing next to her, Julianna leaned against the table and glanced at the red mark on her neck. “That’s quite intense. How do you feel?”

Pursing her lips, Stephanie said, “I-It’s quite enjoyable. Why don’t you try it with Graham?”

Hearing that, Julianna immediately became downcast “Don’t mention his name. I feel like being with him the last few days has only made me suffer. You have no idea what he told me yesterday after he sent me home.”

“What did he say?” Stephanie asked.

“He said if I envied you for having a g o d-grandmother, he could be my d grandfather,” Julianna replied.

Stephanie almost spat out the coffee in her mouth. She swallowed and burst into laughter, Graham is quite humorous.”

“Humorous? He’s anything but humorous. He’s annoying” Julianna widened her eyes in disclain.

“What’s your reply?” Stephanie chuckled.

Julianna snorted, “I said I’d be his g d-grandmother, but he said he would rather have me as his mistress or wife.”

Tears welled up in Stephanie’s eyes as she laughed. “You

Julianna scoffed. “There’s only hate between us.”

You and Graham seem to be in a love-hate relationship.”

Clearing her throat, Stephanie said, “To be honest, Julia, Graham is a gentleman. Remember that time you were d ? If it had been someone else, they might have taken you to a hotel rather than the hospital.”

Julianna blushed at the memory of the night she forcefully kissed Graham, feeling embarrassed.

“Why are you blushing, Julia?” Stephanie raised an eyebrow.

Julianna quickly sat on her chair and said, “It’s nothing. Stephie, aren’t you supposed to design the dress for the film crew? Hurry and go!”

“Are you feeling guilty?” Stephanie teased.

“No!” Julianna raised her voice.

Raising her chin, Stephanie asked, “Did you take advantage of him that night?”

“Of course not. He’s the last person I would be interested in!” Julianna retorted.

Stephanie gave her a thumbs up. “Fine. Just don’t eat your words later!”

“I won’t!” Julianna declared.

After Stephanie left, Julianna started to look over some contracts, but images of her sitting on Graham’s lap that night kept popping into her mind.

She shook her head vigorously, attempting to shake off the seductive memories, but to no avail. They were etched in her memory. “So annoying! That d a m n Graham!”

Meanwhile, in the CEO’s office of Fletcher Group, Graham had the impression that someone was badmouthing him. “Is someone cursing me behind my

back?”

Vincent chuckled. “Who would dare to curse at you?”

“Juliannal” Graham exclaimed.

“You should treat her better, regardless of whether you’ll be together in the future or not,” Vincent advised.

Graham understood Vincent’s implication. Vincent wasn’t concerned about Julianna’s feelings. He just didn’t want any unpleasantness between and Julianna to affect his relationship with Stephanie.

Graham smiled. “Vincent, you’re becoming more devious. How long do you think I can keep Julianna occupied?”

“You can keep her occupied for as long as you want Julianna is very suitable for you.” Vincent raised an eyebrow.

“Suitable? In what way?” Graham asked.

“In every way.” Vincent replied.

Graham was speechless.

Setting aside the banter, Vincent brought up the main topic. “Matthew approached me to collaborate on Triveria Lithium Battery. You can join me as a partner, and we will divide the profits in hall.”

Graham was aware that Vincent was attempting to bribe him, wanting him to look after Julianna so that she would not look for Stephanie when she was

free

Naturally, he agreed. After all, no one would refuse a project that would pay them billions of dollars.

He extended his hand and smiled. “I look forward to our cooperation.”

“Me too.” Vincent smiled as well.

At six o’clock in the evening, Vincent ended the video conference and had a video call with Stephanie.

At that moment, Stephanie was working overtime in the design studio because she wasn’t satisfied with the dress’ design.

Looking at her tired face, Vincent said gently, “If you’re tired, you should go home and rest. Don’t you have half a month left?”

Stephanie’s phone was fixed to its stand, so she rested her chin on her hand while using the other to spin the pencil. “First, I’ll make a few designs, and then I’ll make adjustments. Every stitch of the dress requires special attention, so it takes a lot of effort. If the film crew needs me, I might also join them on set.”

Vincent frowned, “Join them on set?”

“Yeah. Human body shapes can change, so I need to make adjustments on the fly. Luckily, it’s for a movie, so there are only around 30 sets for the main and supporting roles,” she explained.

“Where is this movie being filmed?” he inquired.

She replied, “it’s being filmed in Jacaster.”

Hearing that it was in Jacaster, Vincent felt relieved.

If it were in another city, they would be facing separation,

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Vincent glanced at his watch. “Stephie, head back soon and text me when you’re home.”

Stephanie nodded with a smile. “Okay. I’ll be waiting for you tonight.”

“Okay.” Vincent ended the video call and looked at the door, “Come in.”

Wearing a white formal suit, Nancy walked in and said, “Mr. Fletcher, it’s time!

“Okay, Vincent replied.

As Nancy walked in, she suggested, “Let me push you.”

“No need, Zane will push me.” Vincent pressed the intercom. “We’re heading out now.”

“Understood,” Zane responded.
