"Alright. I'll make time to recover my lost memories after settling the next business deal," Grace affirmed and left with the gift box.
Upon arriving at the hotel, she bumped right into Julian right in front of a private lounge when she turned a corner.
He seemed to have just come out of the room. His gaze swept over her for a second, then quickly looked away, turning to leave.
Grace was puzzled by his reaction. She was the one who reserved the private room, so why was Julian coming out of it? Could it be that Ethan was already inside?
She went through the doors, and sure enough, there was someone sitting inside.
Ethan was holding onto a menu and seemed to be thinking about what to order.
Grace had made sure to arrive 30 minutes earlier, yet Ethan still managed to get here even earlier!
To think that she, the person who came to apologize, had arrived late instead.
A trace of embarrassment crossed her face as she quickly put on an apologetic smile.
"Mr. Henderson, you sure are early! Were you having a meeting with Mr. Sidler earlier?"
Otherwise, what was Julian doing here?
Before he could answer, she took the seat across from him and placed the gift box on the table.
"I saw this brooch while passing by a store. I thought it really suited you," she said.
When she apologized for the incident involving Andrea last time, she gifted him a pair of silver-blue cufflinks, but Ethan never wore them.
His gaze paused on the brooch for a brief moment, then looked away and picked up the menu again. "Let's order some food."
It was clear he had no interest in the brooch.
Grace wasn't fazed by his reaction. It was just a gift, and she didn't expect him to like it anyway. After all, Ethan had grown up surrounded by luxury. He'd probably grown used to seeing high-end stuff.
"Alright. I asked the head chef to recommend a few of their signature dishes. They should be served soon."
While they waited, Ethan finally looked at her. "Did you pick the gift?" he asked.
