Chloe Reed curled her lips into a smile at him. "What? Surprised to see me?"
The expression on Walker Grant’s handsome face was calm and gentle. He glanced at her pale hand, then at her dress, before saying, "I’m not surprised. I knew you’d come for me."
A chill ran down Chloe Reed’s spine, but she kept the performance going. "So, what are you all talking about?"
Walker Grant glanced at the small group of people standing opposite them.
The man at the head of the group spoke up at once. "Mrs. Grant, it’s been too long! You’re looking more beautiful than ever."
Chloe Reed clinked her glass against his. "Thank you."
Walker Grant obligingly made the introductions.
Chloe Reed began to chat with them.
Sunny Reed stood to one side, stunned that Chloe Reed had shown up. The moment Chloe appeared, all eyes were on her. Sunny couldn’t help but tighten her grip on her wine glass.
After a moment, she finally spoke. "Walker, I really have you to thank for this."
"Mm."
Walker Grant responded.
Chloe Reed’s ears perked up as she listened, a mix of suspicion and alarm rising within her.
’What was Walker Grant helping Sunny Reed with now?’
Her fingers curled, and a wave of unease washed over her.
Walker Grant looked at the man opposite him. "President King, my secretary will contact you. You can discuss the specific details with my sister-in-law then."
President King nodded eagerly. "Of course."
With that, Walker Grant led Chloe Reed away.
The moment they turned away, Chloe Reed asked him directly, "What did you help her with this time?"
"Are you jealous?"
Walker Grant, however, simply gazed at her bright, exquisite face and asked in a low voice.
