Billionaire, Let's Divorce!

"I think it's beautiful. The color suits your skin tone so it fully showcases your beauty." Then I smirked, "It's a pity I am heterosexual, else I would have made you mine a long time ago." Then I abruptly drew back, covering my mouth with my paint as I gasped loudly. "Oh no!"

Grace's eyes widened a fraction. "What's wrong?"

"I'm already in love with you!" I whispered.

Grace's relief was evident on her face. She swatted my hand away. "Oh no," she mimicked my actions just a few minutes ago. "I'm already in love with you too."

We both burst out laughing at our theatrics.

Later, a

after I was done admiring the dress, Grace had spoken about it non-stop.

"So tell me," I got comfortable on the sofa, all thoughts of returning home to my husband flying out the window. "Is it a customer's order?"

"Nope," she took off the dress then she perked up in front of me. "I made it for myself."

"Ohh, I wiggled my brows. "You've gotten a new man, haven't you?"

She squinted her eyes, "I won't say he's new but yeah, I do have a boyfriend." Her face glowed with happiness and contentment as she spoke. "His name is Joel." "Joel," I repeated the name, nodding.

"He's so gentle and sweet," she riveted her gaze heavenward as she hugged her arms around herself, her thoughts obviously far away.

"You seem to really like him," I observed loudly, fishing for more info.

"Oh, I do," she agreed instantly, "I like him so much. In fact, I think I love him."

My eyes bulged out, "Are you sure?"

She slapped my arm, "That's why I said I think. I'm not sure but I would marry him if he asked me to right now. In fact, I look forward to marrying him one day." "Wow!" I mouthed and fanned my face. "That's a lot, girl"

Later after telling me all about her dress, I asked her what outing she made the outfit for. "So what's the occasion?"

"My birthday, of course. He invited me for dinner tomorrow. He said he had something important to tell me...I'm going to wow him with the dress, I hope he likes it."

"Of course, he would. Anyone who sets eyes on that dress would love it, trust me."

I suddenly clapped my hands excitedly. I smirked, "How about you design a sexy war dress for me. I feel the need to seduce someone too. Perhaps, the handsome Italian bar owner."

Grace wiggled a brow, andhiwed mockingly, "Your wish is my command, Your lord."

I couldn't hold the laughter that bubbled up my throat. I burst out laughing and Grace followed, clutching her stomach as she did reeled with laughter.

I wiped a tear under my eyes as I sobered up, feeling light and happy for a long time. One of my best moments is spending time with Grace. It was impossible not to be at peace around her. Joel, whoever he is, is a lucky guy and I hope he doesn't mess with my friend's heart.

"So..." I started as I leaned to my side and dragged my bag to me. "I have something for you."

She grinned in excitement and her curious eyes peered into my bag. I brought out the box and handed itExclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

to her.

"Here," her eyes widened as she gasped loudly.

"Omg! Sydney!" She cupped her gaping mouth as she stared at the necklace in the box.

I shrugged, feigning anger, "Since you don't plan on spending your birthday with me, I'm giving you your birthday present in advance"

Her eyes had welled up with tears when she looked up. She suddenly threw her arms around me. "I love it. Thank you so much, Sydney."

1 patted her on the back. "Trust me, it was my pleasure. Now try it on," I urged.

The emerald diamond pendant sat comfortably on her chest. It looked at home. She fingered the necklace on her chest as she looked in the mirror beside the living room doorway. "Gosh! I love it. It looks..." she trailed off as her eyes eyed it possessively, "like mine."
