Cayne looked at her hand. She was thinner. He kept silent, reached out and held her hand. He touched the callus in her hand. She shouldn’t have the callus.
He felt heartbroken. She was too thin.
If he gave her the 500,000 yuan, she wouldn’t look like that.
He couldn’t help but touch her callus and rub it.
He just stroked her hand.
“Mr. Cayne, behave yourself.”
Cayne was surprised. She warned him.
He was reluctant, but he let go.
When he saw the scar on her forehead, he remembered the feeling when he kissed the scar. His lips itched. He looked away. Otherwise, he would want to kiss the scar.
“This scar…”
She tidied her clothes and said, “Mr. Cayne, I think that I was wrong. I shouldn’t have wanted to cooperate with you. Goodbye.”
She was unwilling to accept Caden’s help. How could she accept Cayne’s help?
She glanced at the folder in her hand. Their efforts were in vain. Vivian would say that she was stupid after she went out.
Thinking about it, she chuckled.
Vivian would say that she was stupid.
Indeed, she was stupid.
“Wait a moment.” When she arrived at the door of the meeting room, Cayne said.
“Can you reconcile with me? Can we resume our relation like the past?”
Grace stopped. “Do we have the past? Mr. Cayne, if you knew the old me, please forget me.”
The past?
He was the whoremaster and she was a whore.
She mocked herself.
Her past was ridiculous.
“As far as I know, Jafar embezzled most of the James Group’s circulating fund.
In other words, the James Group lacks money.”
Grace held the handle of the door tightly. She was anxious. “Mr. Cayne, do you have the proof? Your words may cause the stock market of the James Group to be in turmoil. You’re liable for what you said!” How did he know that?
Besides her and the finance chief, no one else knew that!
As for the finance chief, it was impossible for him to leak it out. Jafar embezzled the money from the James Group. The finance chief also should take responsibility for it!
If it were serious, the finance chief was Jafar’s accomplice.
If it weren’t that serious, the finance chief had failed in the execution of his duty.
No matter what, the finance chief should take the responsibility!
How did Cayne know that?
Cayne walked forward and said in a deep voice, “You know if it’s a rumor or not. Grace, do you want to cooperate with me?”
He was confident that Grace would cooperate with him.
Naturally, she knew his thoughts.
But...
She held the door handle and pushed the door of the meeting room open. The light in the corridor flashed into her eyes. She strode out.
Her footsteps echoed in the corridor.
In the corridor, she listened to her footsteps. She was so resolute and unwilling to compromise. She refused him firmly.
