Chapter 2131


    The young man hugged Grace''s arm. ''That was his fault. He rode against traffic in the tunnel and went


    up to a hundred and sixty miles. I''ve never rode faster than a hundred and twenty."


    Grace raised her voice. "Is one hundred and twenty not fast enough already?" "It is, it is. Mom, please


    forgive me. I just couldn''t resist myself. Please don''t tell Dad. I won''t ride ever again in the future."


    Before Grace could say anything, he added, "Mom, did you change skincare products recently? Your


    skin looks a little... strange."


    Grace became nervous upon hearing that, and she immediately touched her face. "I didn''t. I''m still


    using the same brands. What''s wrong with my face? What do you mean strange?"


    The man widened his gaze, looked carefully at Grace''s face, and said," Strangely beautiful."


    Grace could not help but smile as she pushed him away. "You cheeky boy.


    Stop teasing me!"


    He then hugged Grace''s arm. "I mean it. While other moms are getting older, my mom is actually


    looking younger. When you came to pass me something at schoolst time, my ssmates thought


    you were my sister.


    "My roommate even asked for your number, saying he wants to be my brother-inw. I thought about it


    and refused him because Dad would surely disallow it."


    Although Grace scolded him, there was no trace of anger on her face." Okay, stop messing around.


    You said you were going to choose the perfume for me, right? Hurry up, choose one, and let''s go


    home.


    "Your dad will be back from work soon. If we can''t be home before dinner, he''s going to be upset


    again."


    Her son nodded and turned to Ste. "Ste-"


    He then held his tongue and asked Grace, "Mom, how should I address thisdy?" "She''s the Vice


    President of Caline, Ste Hall." Grace then briefly introduced them to each other, "Ms. Hall, this is my


    youngest son, Joe Esper. Please let him try both ''Cloud Nine'' and ''Dream Weaver."


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    Ste nodded. '' Nice to meet you, Mr. Esper. Pleasee with me."


    Joe felt somewhat ufortable as he cleared his throat and said, "Nice to meet you too, Ms. Hall."


    Then, he followed behind Ste.


    Ste grabbed two fragrance strips and let him try the two perfumes.


    Her brows were tightly furrowed as she held the fragrance strips in front of Joe. She was so nervous


    that she did not notice his flushed ears at all.


    "What do you think?" Ste asked.


    For the first time, this gentle voice was noting from the TV screen but right in front of him. This


    caused him to feel extremely nervous.


    He stuttered. "I-It''s okay."


    Ste was taken aback.


    She had him try ''Cloud Nine'' first. The fact that Joe only said that it was okay surprised her.


    Her eyes lit up immediately. However, she suppressed her emotions and spoke gently, "The top note of


    ''Cloud Nine'' is not very strong. Let''s wait for a while."


    Joe nodded.


    When Ste asked for his opinion again after the top and base notes had diffused, Joe said, "Just let


    me try the other one now.”


    So, she did as he said. This time, even before he could smell the base note, he said to Grace, ''Mom,


    choose this one. The first one is not nice at all."


    Jaylene''s expression changed slightly. "Mr. Esper, ''Cloud Nine'' is one of ourpany’s best perfumes.


    How could it be not nice? Please don''t joke around!"


    Joe turned to her, no longer as bubbly as he had been when talking with Grace. "I don''t care if it''s your


    best perfume or not. It''s just not nice to me. What''s the matter? Does everyone have to love what your


    company makes and not criticize them?" he said coldly.
