Chapter 805


    There was a special table for gifts with a man sitting by it, taking notes. When he saw the cake in


    Tracey''s hand, he tilted his head up and gave her a nce.


    "A self-made cake? You''d better give it to Mr. Xiao by yourself. I''m afraid it may sour if left here."


    "Alright. Where is this Mr. Xiao?"


    The man pointed a direction for her and told her how to find him in a reverent manner.


    Actually, no matter what her gift was, the man would give her the same instructions.


    Leaving the din behind, she walked along a quietne to the garden. Under the darkening sky were


    glistening little lights.


    They were hidden in the vegetation by great ingenuity, some in the shape of flowers.


    Tracey was fascinated.


    At the center of the garden was a pavilion. The man in it must Mr. Xiao.


    Tracey suddenly got cold feet. What if he didn''t like her present?


    What if he was a vulgar yboy who preferred mboyant things?


    As she slowly approached him, her heart was beating fast.


    The man was reading with his head down. His silhouette in the dim light was graceful and cid.


    He was immersed in his world.


    It was ironic that all the mor tonight was for him but he was there sitting quietly with a book.


    His slender fingers flipping the page were dancing like butterflies.

    Tracey considered his side face for a while before going forward.


    "Mr. Xiao," she called. When their eyes met, Tracey was startled. "It''s you!" She eximed.


    "Nice to see you again." Adam closed the book. The controlled surprise on his face made it really


    like a coincidence.


    He calcted everything so that she could find him at the right time and ce.


    No mishap was tolerable for him.


    After he''d known the deal between Tracey and Ro, he''d decided to help her in the dark, which


    meant he had to use the Xiao family as a disguise.


    The Xiao family had long wanted to announce his return, but Adam wanted to keep a low profile so


    he refused.


    This time, he deliberately spread the news about themercial bloc.


    Sure enough, Ramiro and Finnegan were very interested and wanted Tracey and Ro to contend


    for the cooperation.


    So he hadn''t forced Tracey to stay on that rainy night, because he''d knew that they would meet


    soon and more than once.


    "You''re Mr. Xiao?"


    "I should have introduced myselfst time. I''m Adam Xiao. Do I have the honor to know your


    name?"


    "I''m Tracey Xia. So it''s your party. Happy birthday," Tracey said.


    She was very d to meet him again.


    She nned to make friends with him first and then someday mention the case casually to him.


    Everything would be natural.


    Adam had been waiting for this day since they had parted.


    As the mastermind behind all these, he saw through Tracey''s little scheme on the spot, but he


    pretended to be ignorant.


    If Tracey were observant enough, she would find the shrewdness in his eyes that only belonged to


    seasoned hunters.


    But she was just a poor little bunny, unaware of the approaching of the hunter.


    "Miss Xia, is that cake a present for me?" Adam asked, intrigued.


    At this timest year, Tracey had not returned home yet. He''d spent his birthday with Caesar and


    Rose.


    His birthday wish had been that Tracey would be by his side for his next birthday and it actually


    came true.


    Although she had forgotten everything, she was here with him. It was enough.


    "Yes. I think it might be more impressive than luxuries. It''s matcha. Do you like it?" Tracey asked


    carefully.


    Adam almost melted in her starry eyes.


    "I like matcha very much." Adam gave her a pleased grin.


    "I was afraid you would think it too cheap and despise it," Tracey said, relieved.


    "Despise it? Why on earth would I despise a cake you made for me?" Adam asked in disbelief.


    His words were a little too intimate for two people who had just met twice. Tracey smiled sheepishly.


    "Well, can I eat it now?" Adam looked at her.


    "Of course, it is already yours now."


    "Would you mind staying here and eating with me?" Adam asked gently.


    "Don''t you have guests to entertain?" Tracey looked back at the mansion hesitantly.


    "It''s my birthday. I get to decide how I spend it and how I spend it with. I remember you like matcha


    too?"


    "Yes. We eat here?"


    "Yes, right here, the two of us," Adam said. The corners of his eyes crinkled as he smiled.
