Evelin's POV
"Grey!" Grace's voice cut through the air, sharp with frustration.
Just like the previous evening's gathering, Grey remained transfixed by Evelin's retreating figure, utterly deaf to her calls.
The sight clearly aggravated Grace's growing irritation.
Grey finally broke from his trance. "I'll figure out a solution. Those jewels were meant for you, so they belong to you."
Relief flickered across Grace's features. "Such a shame they walked away with that necklace!"
"After we land the island deal, I'll get you something far superior," Grey promised.
His primary mission in Bellatrix centered on exploiting Grace's local ties to clinch the island venture. Only then could he salvage his company's troubles and demonstrate that his business success and public listing stemmed from his own capabilities, not Evelin's.
