Chapter 89: A Gift Beyond Measure
โOh?โ Fraserโs expression darkened, and he let out a sneer. โHe thinks heโs worthy?โ
โSo I firmly rejected him,โ Summer confirmed. At this moment, Trevor truly had no place in her heart. She looked up, her eyes curving into a smile as they met Fraserโs gaze. Her eyes sparkled like roses swaying in the summer evening breeze, completely captivating.
Fraserโs eyes darkened slightly. He picked up a document from the table and handed it to Summer. โTake a look.โ
Summer actually had noticed the document when Fraser arrived earlier. She had wondered what it was, but now, when she opened it, her eyes widened in surprise. It was a signed authorization from Mr. Martin, the head of the Marloux, giving the Graham Group full authority to handle the Marlouxโs entry. And Fraser had just handed it to her.
Did this mean that the Marloux, which had arrogantly rejected her this afternoon, was now within her grasp? Sure enough, the next moment, she heard the man confidently say, โA gift for you.โ
Summer looked at him in shock. โThis document is too precious. What do you want for it?โ
Gifts between couples were usually things like jewelry or pearls. But this was a contract that every major company in Havenbrook was competing for.
โDo I need conditions to help my wife?โ
โYou should,โ Summer said.
โThen how about offering yourself tonight?โ Fraser said it in a casual tone, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Summerโs serious expression immediately turned red. In such a public place, he wasnโt afraid of being overheard. Summerโs eyes darted around before she leaned closer to his ear and whispered, โSorry, itโs that time of the month. I canโt satisfy you.โ
Fraserโs eyebrows furrowed, and his expression was one of frustration. Seeing Fraser like thisโno longer the aloof, untouchable figure, but more like a man denied his candyโSummer couldnโt help but smile even more.
Summer stiffened, her former boldness now replaced by compliance. Fraser picked up a glass of cold water and took a few sips. Only then did the heat in his body begin to dissipate. This woman had learned to deliberately provoke him. Summer cleared her throat and regained her composure.
โFraser, thank you for the document. I really need it right now, but this is a business matter. I canโt take advantage of you, so my proposal is that the Stewart Group will be with the Graham Group, giving doubleโฆโ
Fraser interrupted her. โSummer, if I were in trouble, would you help me?โ
Summer was taken aback. โYes, of course.โ After all, he had helped her so many times. But Fraser probably didnโt have any problems that needed her help.
โThatโs enough. For me, this is just a small favor. If you need anything, just ask.โ
If you want something, just askโฆ Summerโs eyelashes fluttered slightly. Fraser noticed her momentary dazed state. She had just spoken without thinking. It seemed that she had startled her a bit.
โThis gift is just to make sure that you donโt ruin my appetite with your frowns during dinner.โ
Summer snapped out of her thoughts. Goodness. She wouldnโt let her emotions show like that, okay? Fraser said seriously, โAfter all, you donโt look good when you frown.โ
Summer lowered her head to enjoy the exquisite dishes, occasionally glancing up at the starry sky, sparkling like gems embedded in the night. The view from the observation table was breathtaking, offering a panoramic view of the sky.
โWith a woman?โ Summer looked at him.
Hearing this, Fraser put down his fork and looked at her with amusement. โJealous?โ
โIโm justโฆ a little curious.โ
Fraser replied calmly, โWhat are you thinking? Do I look that free? It was with a client.โ
At that moment, the phone on the table rang. Summer glanced at it. It was an unknown number. A feeling of foreboding rose in her chest. But the phone continued to ring. After a momentโs thought, Summer decided not to avoid it this time and answered the call.
An angry voice came over the phone. โSummer, who is that bitch you are with?โ
Fraser, who was sitting nearby, raised an eyebrow at the term โbitch.โ
Summerโs beautiful eyes looked at Fraser as she smiled and said, โIโm with someone I like. What, do you have a problem with that?โ
Beside her, Fraserโs lips curved slightly at the words โsomeone I like,โ and the coldness on his face gradually disappeared. On the other end of the line, Trevor let out a cold sneer.
โThe person you like is me, right?โ
Summer replied, โYou overestimate yourself. Heโs a much better man than you.โ
Fraserโs lips twitched into a small, sweet smile as he picked up his glass and took a sip.
