Chapter 289 Xander’s Protection

Vivian remained silent. However, deep in her heart, she pondered the nature of Xander and Grace’s relationship.

There was a knock on the car window.

Grace looked up to see Xander standing outside the car. It seemed like he had appeared out of

nowhere.

At this moment, she was in the middle of playing an intense mobile game.

Grace looked away and focused on the screen. Her hands moved swiftly and effortlessly, quickly defeating her opponent.

As the word “winner” flashed on the screen, Grace finally put down her phone and opened the

car door.

“Xander.”

Grace pursed her l*ps, clearly unhappy.

Xander’s expression softened, and he asked, “What happened? Why are you playing a game in

the car?”

Grace shrugged and said, “What else could it be? Someone said I didn’t deserve to be in the meeting room and kept me outside.”

As soon as Xander heard that, his face instantly darkened.

“It seems they don’t want to work with us. In that case, let it be. He got into the car and

instructed the driver to drive.

As the car moved, Grace watched the scenery outside the window. She was overwhelmed with

emotions. It felt quite nice to be protected.

“Xander, that project is worth millions of dollars. Are you going to let it go so easily?” Grac

asked.

Xander turned his head and ruffled her hair. “No project is more important than you.” Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Grace smiled. She felt overjoyed by his words.

“Your words put me on cloud nine. It’s just a pity for Timothy. He was the one who negotiate this collaboration.”

Xander felt a hint of jealousy, but he remained composed.

“I can also negotiate projects. It’s just a million–dollar project. I’ll just pay them whatever they ask for. But don’t mention other men in front of me again.”

Grace blinked, feeling that Xander was quite manly and domineering..

“Why are you so domineering and petty?”

Xander replied without hesitation, “Every man is petty when it comes to the woman they love.

Grace’s heart raced, and her face turned red.

The woman he loved?

He seemed to have bewitched her with his words.

“What are you talking about?” she protested. She quickly looked away, as if she hadn’t understood his words. But a small smile played on her l*ps when he couldn’t see her face.

At that moment, a pleasant ringtone broke the intimate atmosphere in the car.

“Mr. Fulton, where did you go?” Luke spoke through the phone.

Xander answered calmly, without looking away, “Cancel the partnership with Soraya Group.”

Luke hesitated on the phone, not fully comprehending the situation. Before he could react, Xander had already hung up.

Seeing this, Kenneth asked cautiously, “Mr. Zieglar, what’s going on? Where did Mr. Fulton and Ms. Lewis go? Is this meeting still happening?”

He threw a barrage of questions at Luke.

The latter just smiled faintly, and his words left Kenneth dumbfounded.

“Mr. Fulton said someone made Ms. Lewis upset. He gets upset whenever she’s upset. Sinc he’s not happy, this partnership is canceled.”

After saying that, he ignored Kenneth’s reaction, turned around, and led his team away.

Kenneth stumbled and almost fell as the situation unfolded. His secretary quickly caught hir preventing him from further embarrassment.
