Overwhelmed by the Billionaire’s Persistent Pursuit

Chapter 292: She wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. Sometimes she frowned, sometimes she massaged her forehead, lost in thought, and sometimes she nibbled on the pen's cap. Every move she made enticed Greyson like never before. He felt that Candice had grown so much since they ended things. It was nearly half past twelve when Candice finished her work. She took off her glasses and turned off her computer. Greyson was still sitting in her office, waiting for her, which surprised her a little.

Seeing her finish, Greyson stood and asked, "Ready to go to lunch?" Candice thought avoiding Greyson wouldn't solve anything, so with a slight frown, she agreed. "Okay. But let's keep it brief.

"I moved into my own apartment and tightened the family purse strings, so..." Greyson began.

But before he could finish, Candice interrupted, "I'm really not interested in your family's problems. What do the Harman family's affairs have to do with me?" Greyson's face darkened as he retorted, "How can you say that? The Harman family should be managed by someone capable." Starting to lose her patience, Candice snapped, "What do you want to say to me, Greyson?" . . .
