Chapter 216 Sly Digs

After ordering, Grace said she needed to go to the restroom. Since the restroom was inside the restaurant, Imogen didn’t think much of it and let her go on her own.

Inside the restroom cubicle, Grace helplessly opened her smartwatch and dialed Troy’s phone

number.

“Hello, Grace. Have you arrived at the restaurant?” Troy’s voice came through the receiver. “Yes,” Grace replied softly.

Troy sensed something and asked, “Grace, what’s wrong? Are you upset?”

“Uncle, Imogen said we’re going to have dinner with Erik today,” Grace said.

Troy’s expression changed slightly.

She was gentle with everyone except Troy.

Grace said in frustration, “Imogen said yesterday that she didn’t want to reply to him, but who knew she would lie to me? She even said she likes Erik! Uncle, what should I do? Imogen is going to run with another man!”

Troy’s face turned dark. “Grace, did she really say that?”

Troy was confused. Didn’t Imogen like Liam? How could she suddenly start liking Erik?

How long had she known Erik? How many times had they met?

He didn’t believe that she could change her heart so easily!

“It’s true. I didn’t lie to you.”

“Grace, don’t worry, I will figure something out. I won’t let Imogen be taken away.”

“I believe in you. You have to do your best, okay?”

Grace suddenly smiled with joy, hung up the phone, and returned to the private room, only to find that there was another man inside.

The man sat opposite Imogen, with a delicate appearance. He smiled and talked to Imogen, revealing two cute little canine teeth. It was Erik.

Grace pouted.

She thought, “How could this man compare to my uncle?

“He is not as handsome as my uncle, not as tall as my uncle, and looks like a skinny monkey. He also doesn’t have as much money as my uncle.

“Why does Imogen fall for such a man?”

The opening and closing of the door interrupted Erik’s words.

He turned his head to look at the pretty little girl standing at the door, smiled kindly, and said, “Did you enter the wrong room?”

Grace shook her head and sat down next to Imogen. “I didn’t enter the wrong room.”

Imogen apologized to Erik, “I’m sorry, this is my niece Grace. She’s on vacation here, and I’m taking care of her these days. I hope you don’t mind.”

Erik quickly said, “No, I don’t mind at all. Your niece is so adorable!”

Imogen looked at Grace and said, “Grace, he is praising you for being cute. Say thank you.” Grace looked up innocently and said, “Aunt Imogen. He looks much younger than you!”

12:39

Imogen was speechless.

Erik smiled and said, “I’m not much younger than your aunt.”

It was easy to understand the way Grace called Imogen. Grace’s last name was Marshall, so she should be Troy’s niece. But Erik didn’t mind it.

“I have been living abroad all this time. I haven’t tried most of the food here. I ordered a lot just now, and Imogen said you’ll be treating us. You don’t mind, do you?”

Imogen looked at Grace, who was swinging her short legs and blinking her big, innocent eyes.

But Imogen felt that Grace’s words, were strange, a bit unusual.

This little girl was too smart.

Erik said with a smile, “No, I don’t mind at all. I also just returned from abroad and really want to taste domestic cuisine.”

Grace tilted her head and asked, “Do you live abroad too?”

“I used to, but I just moved back recently.”

Imogen thought it was a good time to ask.

She casually asked, “Why did your family move abroad at that time?”

“It seemed like my dad’s job transfer. It was too long ago, I can’t remember.”

“What does he do?”

“He works in interior design.”

Imogen smoothly changed the topic. “Continue talking about your internship at Marshall Group.” “Oh, it’s only been the third day. I haven’t started the actual work yet. In the past two days, the manager wanted me to understand the company’s rules and regulations and the ongoing software project. The project I’m interning for is a mobile game with a creative concept. I feel it might become popular.” Erik raised his eyebrows at Imogen. “You used to work in marketing. Have you ever thought about taking on this IP?”

Imogen smiled and said, “I want to take a break for now. I don’t have plans for that. How do you feel about it now?”

“I feel great. Although I’m just an intern, the manager and my colleagues are all very friendly. I used to worry about being asked to do menial tasks like getting takeout or making coffee, but none of that happened. I briefly learned about the educational background and work history of my colleagues, and they are all very outstanding. It’s a company that values its employees‘ well–being.”

Erik accidentally bubbled over.

Imogen thought, “Since he is quite satisfied with all aspects of the company, why did he has work– related questions for me?”

that he

Imogen didn’t point it out and said, “It seems like you’re quite satisfied with Marshall Group.”

Erik smiled.

The waiter started serving dishes one after another.

“Grace, what do you want to eat? I’ll take it for you.” Imogen asked.

Grace stretched her little head, looked around, and pointed with her chubby hand. “I want to eat the pork chop!”

Imogen served her two pieces of pork chop.

“Imogen, you also eat some.” Erik served Imogen a piece of meat. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Imogen smiled and said, “Thank you.”

She picked up the meat and took a bite.

Grace saw this and didn’t even feel like eating the pork chop anymore.

She remembered that Troy had served food to Imogen yesterday, but Imogen didn’t eat it.

Grace was displeased.

Erik was extremely pleased.

He thought Imogen would ignore it.

Doesn’t this mean that Imogen actually has some interest in him too?

Suddenly, Erik’s phone rang.

He glanced at the caller ID, and his face turned serious as he said to Imogen, “It’s our manager’s call. Let me answer it.”

Imogen said understandingly, “Answer it. Maybe something urgent.”

Erik left with his phone.

Grace snorted, “Why do you like him? He’s no match for my uncle.” “Which part?”

“Face, body, and money.”

Imogen felt helpless. “Grace, I’ve told you before, when looking for a partner, you can’t just focus on external things. You also need to consider character and inner qualities. Even if your uncle is great, if our personalities clash, we can’t be together.”

“Okay.” Grace pouted. “I’m just a kid. I can’t argue with you.”

Imogen was speechless.

A few minutes later, Erik returned and apologized to Imogen, “I’m sorry, but I need to go back to the office now.”

Imogen asked concernedly, “Is something wrong?”

“There’s a small issue with the project, and the manager assigned me a task related to the project. It’s my first task involving the project.”

Imogen understood. Since Erik was just starting to work on the project, he definitely wanted to show more enthusiasm, successfully completing it to leave a good impression on the manager. “Then go ahead, by the way. Do you want to take the dishes with you?” Imogen asked.

“No need, I’ve already paid. Take your time and enjoy the meal with Grace,” Erik said.

It pained him a bit to pay, but Erik didn’t want to appear weak or embarrassed in front of Troy’s

niece,

Erik might not be as handsome, tall, or rich as Troy, but he had one thing that was definitely better than Troy. He liked Imogen, and he wouldn’t be unfaithful like Troy.

Others might devote half of their heart to their wives, but when he treated Imogen well, he did it wholeheartedly.

“Ah…” Imogen wanted to say something else, but Erik had already left,

On the other side, after Nicolas hung up the phone with Erik, he sent a message to Troy: [I did what you said.]

Nicolas had to find a task for Erik himself.
