"Then come to my office."
Walker Grant stood up and grabbed her hand without another word.
"I don’t want to."
Chloe Reed frowned, shaking his hand off. "I have to work. My injury is fine now. Can you stop being such an eyesore?"
Walker Grant’s gaze, however, fell to her wrist. Her fair skin was bare—the beautiful purple diamond bracelet was gone.
He looked at her with his dark, deep eyes and asked in a low voice, "Where’s the bracelet?"
Chloe Reed’s eyes flickered. "I thought it was a nuisance, so I didn’t wear it."
’She found him to be an eyesore.’
’And the things he gave her, a nuisance.’
A wave of irritation surged through Walker Grant’s chest, and his eyes darkened several shades.
Chloe Reed glanced at the time. "I need to get busy. You’re the CEO of the Grant Group. How are you so free?"
Walker Grant watched her with a cold gaze. "I will find out what happened to the bracelet. And if I find it, Chloe, I’ll turn it into handcuffs and lock you at home where you can’t go anywhere."
Chloe Reed’s eyelashes trembled fiercely. "You’re sick! Go see a doctor!"
She quickly left the conference room.
Then she took out her phone and dialed Iris Yates’s number.
"Hey, Chloe, babe! What’s up?" Iris Yates’s voice was chirpy; she had already found a buyer who offered thirty-three million. Whoo-hoo!
Chloe Reed replied, completely exasperated, "We can’t sell the bracelet."
"Huh?" Iris Yates was stunned. "Why not?"
Chloe said, "That damn scumbag is about to go crazy, and we can’t afford to deal with the fallout."
The thought of millions going down the drain made Iris Yates deflate, but her friend’s safety was more important. "Okay, then," she said. "If it keeps him from causing you trouble, we won’t sell it."
After hanging up, Chloe Reed composed herself and went straight to the recording studio.

’Their favoritism was just too blatant.’
