Seven looked at Draven’s simile and felt like his eyes were about to go blind from the brilliance. He thought to himself, “Holy shit… If anyone from Grey Group or the business world saw this soft, affectionate side of Mr. Grey, their jaws would probably hit the floor.”
“What about you?” Draven lowered his gaze and continued, “What kind of person do would be worthy of you?”
Here comes the good part:
you think
Seven’s eyes
lit
up as he continued watching the two of them.
This time, Cassia answered without even thinking. “That person is probably still waiting to be born.”
She had never considered it, nor did she believe such a person existed.
“I think he was born a long time ago.” Draven’s low, magnetic voice carried a hint of tenderness.
Cassia glanced at Draven several times, her searching gaze lingering briefly before she looked
away.
“Thank you for today. Like I said before, you’re always welcome at The Lennox.”
So the hotel really was hers. Nicole was just managing it on her behalf.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have spoken to him with such authority.
“It took me a lot of effort to find this woman.” There was a mysterious glint in Draven’s eyes.
Cassia picked up on the implication in Draven’s words and asked, “How do you want me to repay you? As long as it’s within reason, feel free to ask.”
Cassia didn’t think Draven was being unreasonable.
Zrario wasn’t exactly small, yet he had found this woman in just one day. It was clear that Draven had put in real effort.
“I want…” Draven stared at Cassia, his fingers by his side rubbing together.
Cassia’s sharp eyes caught his subtle movement, and she grew curious.

What kind of request could make a man who wouldn’t flinch if the sky was falling show signs of hesitation
And why was he going to such lengths to help her? Was he trying to get something from her?
Or perhaps everything he had done for her before had an ulterior motive?
What kind of motive?
Good or bad?
Just as Cassia was speculating, Draven instantly reined in all his subtle emotions and movements, returning to his usual refined and composed demeanor.
“I haven’t figured out the specifics yet. How about you just owe me a favor?”
“I don’t make promises lightly.” Cassia said flatly.
“Why not?”
“A promise carries too much weight.”

Draven knew this kid wouldn’t be easy to deal with. Before he could change his request to something else, Cassia’s voice spoke up again.
“But I’m willing to make an exception this time.”
She agreed? Draven’s deep eyes suddenly lit up.
“However…” Cassia wasn’t finished. “I reserve the right to refuse. So whatever condition you propose in the future, I’ll consider it carefully before deciding whether or not to agree.”
What a sharp mind she had.
They really were a perfect match.
Draven’s lips curved upward, genuine pleasure rising in his heart.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going.” After saying this, Cassia turned and walked toward the door.
Draven stayed where he was and didn’t follow her.
He’d have Seven escort her out, but he still asked one question. “What do you want to do with this woman?”

“Hand her over to the police.”

From what she had seen in the surveillance footage, her gut told her this woman was likely involved in human trafficking.
The next day, Cassia saw a headline on her phone about a child trafficking ring in Zrario being successfully apprehended.
Ever since Cassia had helped the orphanage director find his grandson, Peter had grown fonder and fonder of her.
Thanks to Cassia, whenever the orphanage needed to purchase supplies and groceries, Peter was happy to buy from companies under Vance’s umbrella.
Vance was naturally thrilled. He started bringing Cassia along to visit the orphanage more often, whether there was a reason to or not.
