"Thank you? Didn't you just say it's a win win? GT Group would also enjoy a share of the profits, won't they?" I retorted.
"Ha, you're always strictly sticking to talking business. How about dinner tonight? Let's celebrate this continual growth," he suggested with an awkward laugh.
I scoffed. "You're so confusing,you know that? Now you pose as a suitor, sometimes you seem jealous, sometimes passionate, sometimes flirty. Are you trying to make me fall in love with you, only to cruelly dump me and humiliate me after making me have my hopes high?"
There was a long pause then he erupted, "Damn, you caught me. My acting skills are seriously waning these days."
"There was never any skill in the first place. Your acting is as terrible as it has always been."
"You know me so well, Sydney."
I ignored his comment, "Besides, Doris already told me that you're currently dating the senator's daughter, Sandra."
At the mention of Sandra, Grace's head that has since been buried in the iPad snapped up.
"Tsk tsk, isn't Sandra your good friend, Joel's girlfriend? You guys now date one girl? Perhaps, it's now the trending thing right?" I smirked at the silence that answered my question on the other end. "What a messy circle you are in, Mark."
Grace's eyes were filled with questions as she looked at me and listened to fragments of the conversation on my end.
He sneered, "You're no better. Aren't you also dating Lucas? Your ex-husband's uncle." I could hear the smirk in his voice as he continued, "Come on, Sydney, we're evenly matched. Do you not see that we are really meant for eachother?" There was a pause then he added in a low voice, almost a whisper, "We shouldn't have divorced."
I was thinking of the response to give to Mark when I heard Lucas' voice. My gaze slid to the glass wall of my office and I saw Lucas speaking with someone, a rose bouquet in his grasp.
