Brian even had a hunch that if he did not let go, Jason might just break his wrist.
There was really no need to fall out with Jason for a mere woman. After all, Grace was not the one he was looking for. Had he not figured it out earlier?
Brian lowered his eyes before loosening his fingers with a faint smile, and Graces wrist was instantly free.
Im sorry, I seem to have forgotten my manners just now. Miss Cummins reminded me of an old friend, said Brian.
Shes not your old friend. Dont forget your manners again, Jason said coldly before grabbing Graces hand and leaving.

treasured. All these led to Grace.
However, she would keep it to herself and never let it out.
Didnt you say you were going to introduce me to some producers today, Brian? asked Evelyn, breaking the silence.

Jason took Grace to a more secluded place.
You must be tired, sit down for a while, said Jason as he
made her sit down on the sofa.
Im fine, she said. Though she was nervous as she had not been to banquets like this for a long time, she was more
worried about what Brian did earlier.
Do you want something to eat? he asked.
Before Grace could answer, someone came over and said, Is
this your girlfriend, Jason? Wont you introduce me?
Grace looked up and saw a man about Jasons age approaching her. Although he was dressed in a suit, the smile on his baby face made him likable.
Jason glanced at him, then said to Grace, This is my friend,
Patrick.
