“I’ll be back in June.”

Draven’s words made both Ned and Seven pause, thinking he’d finally given in and agreed to meet those wealthy heiresses for
blind dates.
“That’s good to hear. I’ve already picked out a few promising girls. They’re from prominent families-”
“No need.” Draven cut him off.
Ned froze.
Draven curled his lips faintly, long legs crossed with effortless ease.
“I already have a girlfriend. She’s still in high school at Zrario and graduates in a month. I’ll bring her to meet you then.”
A high school student? My grandson’s taste is… unexpected.
The line went silent for several long seconds before Ned cautiously asked, “Is it really a girlfriend … or a boyfriend?”
“Pfft!” Seven burst out laughing before he could stop himself.
He immediately felt a death glare shoot across the room.
Looking up at Draven’s face–dark as a thundercloud–Seven nearly laughed himself into the afterlife.
This is just too good.
But laughing at Mr. Grey is a high–risk hobby.
“It’s a she,” Draven replied flatly.
“I don’t believe you,” Ned said.
“Pfft!” Seven lost it again.
Catching Draven’s warning look, he clamped a hand over his mouth, though muffled laughter still leaked out.
Honestly, Ned’s skepticism made sense.
Rumors had long claimed the Greys‘ heir was immune to women, spending all his time with his male friends.
Heiresses practically threw themselves at him, but he didn’t even spare them a glance.
There was even a story about a rich girl drugging herself and climbing into his bed.
Any man would’ve folded. Yet Draven had her tossed straight into the swimming pool.
Stories like that weren’t rare.
Eventually, a new rumor took root—that the real reason the Greys‘ heir avoided women was that he liked men. It had nothing to do with the long–standing rumor that a car accident had stripped him of his masculinity.

When that gossip reached Ned, it nearly gave him a stroke.

The Greys had only one heir. A flawless one at that. Groomed to command Grey Group and rule the business empire. And he was surrounded by men all day?
Ned’s anxiety skyrocketed, prompting his constant matchmaking calls.
Draven had explained countless times that he had zero interest in men. It never stuck.
“Is that Seven? Is Seven there?” Ned asked, having heard him.
“I’m here, Mr. Ned,” Seven chimed in quickly.
“You tell me the truth. Is it really a girl? Not a boy?”
Draven handed the phone to Seven.
The message was clear. You handle this.
Seven glanced at Draven before answering, “Mr. Ned, you can relax now. No more blind dates needed. Mr. Draven’s in love for real this time.”
When he finished, he caught Draven nodding in approval.
“So it’s really a girl?” Ned pressed.
“A girl. And she’s the campus belle of Zrario High.”
After a brief silence, Ned said, “You’re just his lackey. I don’t trust you either.”
Seven paused.
Lackey? I’m a prominent young heir in Vrastin, thank you very much.
Even if it was technically accurate, saying it to his face hurt.
Draven reached out his hand. Seven returned the phone.
“I told you. I’ll bring her during summer break.”
“You’re not just finding someone to fool me, are you? I’m very good at judging people. What’s the girl’s name?”
