Chapter 996


    Keith was very much surprised. He, who was known for his steadyposure, suddenly stood up


    and looked at me with his eyes wide open. "Mrs..."


    "Hello," I said, stretching out my hand toward Keith to greet him first.


    He froze for a moment, then turned to look at Theo.


    Itsted for merely a fleeting moment before he put all his emotions away and shook my hand with


    a slight smile. "Hi."


    Theo merely nced faintly at me before looking at Mn, saying, "It''s been a while, Mr. Mn.”


    Both men were about the same height. One was mature and unwavering, while the other was


    gentle and elegant. Neither of them lost in terms of their aura.


    I sat on the chair with Mn, my heart growing restless.


    I recalled the words he whispered into my ears previously. Clearly, he was here for Theo tonight.


    Nevertheless, the reason he brought me along made m e even more restless now.


    "Did you bring the item, Mr. Grant?" Mn sat down and went straight to the point.


    Theo raised his eyebrows, his gaze falling on my face. He sized me up with a slightly unfamiliar


    gaze as though he did not know me. "Don''t you want to introduce her to me, Mr. Mn?"


    His charming eyes carried a hint of imperceptible weariness. He must be very busytely.


    Mn took a nce and smirked. "She''s just my femalepanion. Nothing special about her."


    Theo nodded and asked no more, seemingly not interested to know more about me.Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.


    He nced at Keith, who nodded and put the white leather case in his hands on the table. He


    looked at Mn and asked, "Do you want to inspect the goods here, Mr. Mn?"


    Mn nced ndly at the leather case on the table and said with a smile, "You’re an old friend,


    Mr. Grant.


    I trust you."


    Mn looked at me after saying that.


    I understood what he meant and reached out to grab the leather case.


    As soon as my hand touched the leather case, a broad hand pressed on the back of my hand. The


    warmth of the man''s palm put me in a daze.


    "What''s the rush?" Theo raised his eyebrow. "I don''t trust you, Mr. Mn. It''s better to be on the safe


    side, s o let''s just inspect the goods here."


    He had not removed his hand from mine, and I was starting to grow flustered. I wanted to pull my


    hand back only to realize that he had tightened his grip on my hand.


    Mn smiled slightly. "You''re still as cautious as always, Mr. Grant."


    As soon as he said that, he suddenly grabbed my arm and pulled me into his arms. Then, he


    lowered his head to kiss me.


    It all happened too quickly, and I had no time to react a tall.


    When I realized what was going on, Mn had already let go of me.


    Arge hand grabbed the ne around my neck. The hand belonged to Theo.


    I looked at him and saw that his countenance hadpletely sunk. The dim light made his gaze


    look even more vicious.


    "What’s with that look on your face, Mr. Grant?” Mn said with a slight smile, "That ne is too


    gorgeous. That''s why I allowed my femalepanion t o wear it. You can''t possibly think that I''m


    going back on my promise, can you?"


    He took off the ne around my neck after saying that.


    Franky had told me to wear the ne beforeing here. He told me to take good care of it and


    not to lose it.


    Did Theoe here to buy this ne from Mn, then?


    Theo did not say anything and handed the ne to Keith.


    Keith took the ne and examined it closely, then nodded at Theo.
