StarNovel"Thank you? Didn't you just say it's a win win? GT Group would also enjoy a share of the profits, won't they?" I retorted.
"Ha, you're always strictly sticking to talking business. How about dinner tonight? Let's celebrate this continual growth," he suggested with an awkward laugh.

Are you trying to makefall in love with you, only to cruelly dumpand humiliateafter makinghave my hopes high?" There was a long pause then he erupted, "Damn, you caught me. My acting skills are seriously waning these days." "There was never any skill in the first place. Your acting is as terrible as it has always been." "You knowso well, Sydney." I ignored his comment, "Besides, Doris already toldthat you're currently dating the senator's daughter, Sandra." At the mention of Sandra, Grace's head that has since been buried in the iPad snapped up.
"Tsk tsk, isn't Sandra your good friend, Joel's girlfriend? You guys now date one girl? Perhaps, it's now the trending thing right?" I smirked at the silence that answered my question on the other end. "What a messy circle you are in, Mark." Grace's eyes were filled with questions as she looked atand listened to fragments of the conversation on my end.
He sneered, "You're no better. Aren't you also dating Lucas? Your ex-husband's uncle." I could hear the smirk in his voice as he continued, "Con, Sydney, we're evenly matched. Do you not see that we are really meant for eachother?" There was a pause then he added in a low voice, almost a whisper, "We shouldn't have divorced." I was thinking of the response to give to Mark when I heard Lucas' voice. My gaze slid to the glass wall of my office and I saw Lucas speaking with someone, a rose bouquet in his grasp.
Mark was saying something but obviously I didn't hear half of it. "Alright, Mr Mark," I interrupted him, "This unnecessary phone call will end now; I can't talk to you anymore. Your favorite uncle, my boyfriend, is here," I teased.
At this, Grace turned back to look at Lucas. Then she turned toand wiggled her brows. I threw a pen her way and she dodged it, laughing.
There was another pause on Mark's end then he said. "My favorite uncle you said?" "Hm hm." Then he laughed, "You should leave the company for Grace and take a career as a comedian." "I will surely give it a thought," I answered him, my gaze still fixed on Lucas. I could barely concentrate on whatever Mark was saying as I admired Lucas from where I sat. The fluidity with which he related with my employees, the smile on his face...the delicious stretch of his broad shoulders. The expanse of his chest that I so much loved to lay my head on. My fingers twitched as the feel of my fingers tangling in the soft curls on his head filled my memory...

I don't mind joining," Mark said in a playful tone, intruding my thoughts. nonchalantly said, "What do boyfriends and girlfriends do together? What do you do with Sandra?" "Are you that curious? Or would you liketo give my favorite uncle a lesson or two?" He stressed on 'my favorite uncle.'
"Trust me, you are the one who needs a lesson or two. And letput my question more precisely, what did e you do With Bella behind my back? Of course, you have sex," I said nonchalantly and Grace shook her head at my response
I decided to spite him so I added, "You don't have to worry though h of don't have the habit of recording videos and sending them to other and's people's phones. I'm not ill mannered."
The silence stretched for a long tthis time. I would have hung up but I didn't. I knew he knew what I meant. He understood that was that was referencing the twhen Linda sent a sex video of both of them to me. Till today, when I have nothing to do of course, I still sometimes wonder why on earth he had even let her send the video. I heard him bitterly bite out under his breath, "You're such a vengeful woman." Then he hung up.
