    Chapter 155


    She reached out for her cellphone to look at the time. It was 3


    a.m. and she could sleep for a few more hours.


    Just as she was about to shut her eyes, she suddenly sat bolt


    upright. The next instant, she stared in disbelief, her eyes wide


    open.


    A man was sitting by the dining table in her rental apartment,


    ying with the silver bracelet that had been in her pocket.


    Under the light, the man looked like a painting that been drawn on a piece of rice paper. His brows


    were thick, and his


    nasal bridge was high. His lips were thin, and he had a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes. When he curled


    his lips and looked at


    her, he seemed cold and aloof.


    As he looked at her, Grace felt as if he was a mirage.


    “Is this man real? Am I… dreaming?”


    “Are you awake?” The man’s voice broke the silence in the


    room.


    Grace suddenly came to her senses and realized that she was not dreaming. Everything was real!


    “You, who are you? Why are you in my apartment in the middle of the night?” Grace tried her best not


    to scream. She quietly stretched out her hand to pick up her cellphone so that she could call the police


    when the man was not watching her.


    However, before she could get her hands on the cellphone, the man said, “If you’re thinking of calling


    the police, you can forget about it. If I wanted to harm you, I would have done so while you were


    sleeping.”


    Grace froze at his words. The man seemed to have read her


    mind.


    “Why are you…”


    “This is my bracelet,” Brian said as he stood up. He slowly made his way to the bed and said, “It was


    stolen today.”


    “I didn’t steal it. When I saw it, it was already in my pocket,”


    Grace exined immediately.


    “I know you didn’t steal it,” Brian said. “If it was you, you wouldn’t still be here in one piece.”


    Grace bit her lip and grabbed hold of the quilt tightly.

    This man seemed cold and dangerous. She wondered when he had entered her rental apartment


    without her realizing it.


    When she saw him ying with the bracelet, she believed that


    he had been there for some time.


    However, she hadn’t noticed it.


    After thinking for a while, she concluded that he must be something special. No ordinary man could


    search her out and get into her apartment unnoticed. When the man got near her, she noticed that his


    attire was high quality. His suit and wristwatch were branded and expensive. However, she found it


    puzzling that this kind of man would barge into her apartment for the sake of a cheap bracelet!
