“It's for a friend,” Aaron said without looking up.

Grace pulled up a chair and stared at Aaron curiously. “What friend? Tell me.”

The watch was rather feminine. It didn’t suit Aaron’s style at all.

Aaron was normally very reserved and didn’t have any female friends. Why did he need a feminine watch? Grace smelled something fishy here.

Aaron put down his tablet and faced her. “Xander Fulton asked me to buy this for Aunt Hestia.”

“Xander Fulton?” Grace blinked, trying to recall the name.

“You've met him before. Do you remember him?”

Grace nodded, then shook her head. “I recall the name ... but | don’t think | actually knew him.

All she could remember was that Xander had been raised by his mother alone. He had taken over his late father’s company when he had still been very young.

He didn’t act like her peer at all, so she didn’t interact much with him.

Just then, Jacob entered. “Sir, Mr. Hawkins of Hawkins Group is here to see you.’

Grace scoffed. As she had expected, Benjamin was at his wit’s end.

“Did he really think | would meet with him when even Timothy couldn’t convince me?” Aaron said coldly, anger laced in his tone. “Tell him I’m not going to see him.”

“But...”

“But what?”

Mr. Donegan Senior is here with him. He wants to meet you too.” 1
