Xander leaned in and pecked her lips, silencing all the words Grace was about to say.
At that moment, tseemed to stand still, and Grace stared wide-eyed at him.
She forgot to react.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtXander chuckled affectionately and embraced her tighter. "Gracie, | hope we can have a happy marriage soon." Dumbfounded, Grace looked at him blankly. It took her several seconds to react. Then, she responded with a shy and soft hum.
Her consent brought a gleam of joy to Xander's eyes. "Gracie, are you serious?" Grace smiled and looked him in the eyes.
As Xander looked into her eyes, which were reflecting his figure, he smiled brightly.
He had been waiting for this day for too long.
The crowd around them also had their eyes fixed on them, and Grace's cheeks turned even redder. "Xander, there are people around." Only then did Xander release her.
Grace quickly turned her face away and took a deep breath. She could feel the disoriented beats of her heart. This feeling was both familiar and unfamiliar, leaving her somewhat at a loss.
"Gracie, Mr. Thorne from Byte Technologies is here today." With a single sentence, Xander successfully shifted Grace's attention.
Matthew Thorne from Byte Technologies was one of their targets for the day.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmByte Technologies was currently the leading force in the short video industry. Short videos were thriving in the country, with a promising future. Amirate intended to venture into this area.
Grace quickly asked, "Where is he?" "Let's go. I'll take you over." With that, Xander gestured, and Grace smiled, linking her arm with his. The two walked toward the other side of the venue.
"Mr. Fulton, Ms. Lewis." When Xander and Grace appeared, Matthew was the first to greet them. As rising stars in the business world in recent years, they were well-known figures.
Xander nodded slightly. "Mr. Thorne, it's an honor to meet you." Matthew quickly extended his hand. "Nice to meet you too, Mr. Fulton." He then introduced the man beside him. "Wayne, this is Mr. Fulton, and this is Ms. Lewis." Although it was Grace's first tmeeting Wayne Foster, she felt that his face seemed oddly familiar.
Grace asked, "This is ..." Matthew quickly introduced, "Ms. Lewis, this is our company's ace streamer, Wayne Foster." After his introduction, Grace belatedly realized that Wayne was the hotshot from Byte Technologies, the one who had recently gained immense popularity.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Foster." Wayne was humble and extended his hand toward Grace. "Ms. Lewis, nice to meet you." Matthew added, "Ms. Lewis, Mr. Fulton, Wayne is just a newcomer. Please watch him grow." "Mr. Thorne, why are you being modest? Amirate has the intention of entering the short video industry. If there's a chance, we hope to work with you." Wayne's interest was piqued by those words. "Really? Are you interested in the short video industry, Ms. Lewis?" Grace nodded slightly. "I have this idea, but it's still just an idea. There's nothing specific yet." Matthew responded eagerly, "Ms. Lewis, | think the short video industry has great potential. If you're interested, | can give you a detailed analysis." Grace smiled and agreed. "Sure, let's find stto talk about it."
