Please Be Gentle With Me Mr Grant novel Chapter 2

Blanca left the hotel in a wrathful flurry, took a taxi, and spat, “The Empire Group Building, hurry up!”

She looked like she was about to get into a firefight.

The taxi driver stepped on it and sped Blanca there. She paid in a hurry, and then walked into the brightly lit lobby of the Empire Group.

Taking out her phone, she was about to send a text back when a handsome fellow in a suit came up in front of her. “Hello. Are you Miss Roach?”

Blanca nodded. With a man this polite, she couldn’t throw a tantrum. She just asked coldly, “Where’s my necklace?”

The man smiled at her, his tones polite and respectful. “You’ve misunderstood, Miss Roach. Mr. Grant is the one looking for you. I’m just his assistant Curtis Irwin. You can call me Curtis from now on. Please follow me.”

From now on?

Blanca only wanted her pendant back. She wasn’t expecting any “from now on.”

Curtis the assistant brought Blanca to the foot of the elevator, and they took it to the eighth floor, outside the chairman’s office.

He knocked, and a low, charged male voice rang out from inside. “Come in.”

Curtis opened the door for Blanca, and politely motioned for her to go in. He stayed outside himself.

The doors to the office finally closed, and Blanca stood inside the spacious office, looking at the man behind the desk.

He was in a deep blue, hand-tailored suit, a vest of the same color, a clean white shirt, and striped tie.

This guy had money and status, and he could easily have bought any jewelry he wanted. What was with him targeting her for a little jade pendant?

The man looked up with a hawkish gaze at Blanca, snapping the document in his hands shut.

She looked back at the ice-carved man before her, with a high nose, clear and chilly eyes. Quite cool.
