Chapter 240: Weird Rep
"Alright. Back to reality," Gray muttered, setting his phone face-down on the desk.He was in his office. The air conditioner hummed quietly. Papers, folders, and his laptop sat in front of him in the particular order Mara had arranged them before she arrived. He clicked through to the first construction firm on the list he had started building last night.This was the first real step toward the second branch.The prices varied more than he had expected. One firm looked immediately out of range. Another offered suspiciously low numbers with no verifiable track record behind them. A third had reviews scattered across multiple sites, each one more contradictory than the last.Gray took his time. He read portfolios and project histories. He checked client reviews from multiple sources. His eyes narrowed the longer he scrolled, not from frustration, but from the particular focus that came when something actually mattered.Eventually, one firm stood out. Their past projects were solid, the
Chapter 241: Can I Ask For A Favor?
The man's grin froze.His outstretched hand pulled back slowly, as if reconsidering the whole situation."What?" His voice cracked. "What did you just say to me?"Gray did not move. His expression stayed even. "I asked if you're on something. Because I genuinely cannot make sense of how you're running this meeting."The man's face shifted. His chest puffed out, his already-wrinkled suit looking worse for it."You dare insult me? I came all the way here, rushed through traffic, sweating just to get here on time, and this is what I get?"He slammed his hand on the table again. Mara flinched. His glasses slid further down his nose."If you don't want the deal, then fine. I've got plenty of other clients. You think you're special? I don't need you."Gray leaned back and folded his arms. The outburst confirmed everything he had already decided."You're wasting my time," he said.That was enough.The man shoved his chair back and stood up. He fanned himself once more with the handkerchief a
Chapter 242: Blaming The Wine
Selina stepped aside, and Gray walked in. Her condo smelled like flowers. It always did. He noticed a few books on the coffee table and some clothes tossed across the couch. "Is your nanny out today?" he asked, glancing around. "She went home yesterday." Selina pressed her lips together. Her cheeks warmed the moment she followed his gaze and saw what he was looking at. She turned quickly. "Anyway." She shut the door and faced him. "You don't look like yourself tonight." Gray exhaled and dropped into the nearest seat. He rested his head in his palm and looked up at her. "It's been a long day." "I heard about the disaster in your meeting," Selina said, crossing her arms loosely as she came closer. "You heard?" He smirked faintly. "You know I'm friends with Mara." She shrugged. "I don't know the full details, but I know enough." Gray let out a low chuckle. "That's one way to put it." His voice softened. "It wasn't just a bad meeting. It was a spectacularly useless one." Selina s
Chapter 243: W-Wait
Their lips met again, hungry and unhurried at the same time.Gray's hands moved slowly along Selina's body. He felt the warmth of her skin under his palms as they travelled down her arms. When his hands found the soft weight of her chest, he paused, watching her face. She didn't pull away. That was all he needed.He cupped her breast gently over her shirt, feeling the softness beneath his palm.Selina made a quiet sound as he squeezed. Her eyes fluttered.His other hand drew her closer by the nape of her neck, deepening the kiss. Their mouths moved together, slow and searching.When that wasn't enough, his hands slipped beneath the hem of her shirt. He eased her bra down and brushed his palm against bare skin."Oh—" The sound left her before she could stop it.Gray kept going. He cupped her fully, learning the weight and shape of her, as if she were something worth taking his time with."Do you like this?" he asked quietly, pulling back just enough to meet her eyes.Selina's gaze was
Chapter 244: The Morning After
It was already morning.Pale light slipped through the curtains of Selina's room. Gray stirred first. His body was heavy, muscles aching in places he hadn't expected. He lay still for a moment, listening to the quiet.When he finally turned his head, his gaze landed on Selina.She was sleeping beside him. Her breathing was slow and even, her hair loose and messy against the pillow. In the soft morning light, she looked almost unreal. Peaceful in a way that made him pause.He watched her for a while without moving.His mind was quieter than usual. Thoughts came and went, drifting back to the night before, to everything they had done. He didn't regret any of it. Still, he had to admit it was a step he hadn't planned for.Selina stirred. Her lips parted on a soft exhale. She shifted slightly toward him in her sleep.Gray inhaled, let it out slowly, and leaned onto his side. His eyes stayed on her face."She really looks like an angel," he muttered, so low the words barely made a sound.A
Chapter 245: You Two
Selina blinked at Lily's words. Her cheeks went red immediately. She touched her face as if she could press the warmth back down."Glowing?" She gave a small laugh and waved her hand. "You're exaggerating, my dear."Lily shook her head firmly, gripping her hand tighter."No! You really are! You look pretty every day, but you're prettier today, Sister!" She turned. "Right, Brother?"Gray had just finished plating the last of the bacon. He turned his head in time to catch Selina's embarrassed face. A faint smirk pulled at his lips. "Lily's not wrong," he said, setting the plate down. "You do look glowing."Selina's cheeks burned deeper. She quickly looked away and let Lily pull her inside."You two..." she muttered under her breath.The smell of eggs and bacon had already filled the condo. The table was set with simple plates, utensils, and glasses of water. Selina took the seat across from Gray. Lily dropped into her usual spot beside him, grinning from ear to ear."Alright, let's eat
Chapter 246: You'll Know When
Selina coughed hard and pressed a napkin to her mouth. Her ears had gone red. She kept her eyes carefully away from her grandfather."L-Lily..." she whispered.Gray pinched the bridge of his nose."Lily. Eat your food." His tone was even, but his eyes said the rest.Lily was not the least bit intimidated. Her grin widened. She looked almost proud of herself."What, Brother? I'm only telling the truth! Sister Selina is always with us. She even had breakfast with us this morning!"Conrad's eyebrows rose. His lips curved slowly as he leaned back and tapped the table with one finger."Is that so, Lily?" His gaze moved from Lily to Selina, then settled on Gray. "Always together, hm?"Selina grabbed her glass of water and took a long sip. It didn't help. Her cheeks stayed warm, and her heart was going too fast."Grandpa..." she said softly.Gray kept his expression steady. Inside, it was a different story. His thoughts were running, and he could feel the weight of Conrad's eyes across the t
Chapter 247: Built To Last
In the middle of the night, Gray sat on the edge of his bed.The room was dark. The only light coming from the small lamp on his bedside table. He held the card Conrad had given him, turning it slowly between his fingers.A sleek black card with Conrad's name printed along one edge.It looked more like a key card from a hotel, the kind that opened something specific. But what?Gray stared at it under the lamplight, brows furrowed."What the hell is this, old man?" he muttered.He had seen plenty of business cards before. This was different. It had weight to it, not physical weight, but the kind that made him hesitant to set it down. The last time Conrad had given it to him, he'd barely glanced at it and tucked it away. Now, sitting alone in the quiet of his room, he couldn't stop looking at it."Use that. You'll know when." That was all Conrad had said.Gray leaned back against the headboard. The card stayed between his fingers."What kind of man just hands something like this out?" A
Chapter 248: Four Months
"We're here," Daniel said.Gray looked out the window. They were parked at the edge of a dusty street. He stepped out without a word.Mara and Owen were already on the site, walking the boundary with clipboards in hand. Behind them stretched the land — the same empty lot Gray had visited when he first received the title. Nothing had changed. The tall grass swayed in the breeze, and low patches of shrub had grown thicker along the edges."Whoa." Mara shielded her eyes from the glare and looked out across the full stretch of it. "This is bigger in person. We can fit everything we need in here." Gray breathed in. The air carried soil and dry grass. He let it out slowly."You sure about this?" Owen asked, stepping closer. He was here as Conrad's representative. "Stoneworks, right?""Stoneworks," Gray confirmed."They're the more expensive option.""I know." Gray's thumb moved over the black card in his pocket. He hadn't left it behind since Conrad pressed it into his hand. "Their timelin
Chapter 249: Satisfied
The contract arrived the next morning, just as Kyle had promised.It came sealed in an envelope with the Stoneworks logo stamped on the corner. Mara picked it up first, sat at her desk, and worked through it page by page."This looks complete," she said, reading carefully. "Payment schedule, penalty clause, permit responsibilities — it's all here. Nothing looks off.""Good. Let's not drag it out." Gray motioned toward himself. "Bring it here."She slid the contract across. He pulled a pen from his drawer, read through it briefly, and signed each required page. When he set the pen down on the last one, he let out a long, quiet breath."Send it back to Stoneworks today. No delays.""On it." Mara gathered the pages and slid them back into the envelope.Gray looked at her. "One more thing. The payment is your job."Mara blinked. "Me?""You handle the finance side. Conrad's investment funds were transferred to the store account this morning." He slid a folder across the desk. "Bank details
