Chapter 996

Keith was very much surprised. He, who was known for his steady composure, suddenly stood upand looked at me with his eyes wide open. "Mrs..."

"Hello," I said, stretching out my hand toward Keith to greet him first.

He froze for a moment, then turned to look at Theo.

It lasted for merely a fleeting moment before he put all his emotions away and shook my hand witha slight smile. "Hi."

Theo merely glanced faintly at me before looking at Milan, saying, "It's been a while, Mr. Milan.”

Both men were about the same height. One was mature and unwavering, while the other wasgentle and elegant. Neither of them lost in terms of their aura.

I sat on the chair with Milan, my heart growing restless.

I recalled the words he whispered into my ears previously. Clearly, he was here for Theo tonight.

Nevertheless, the reason he brought me along made m e even more restless now.

"Did you bring the item, Mr. Grant?" Milan sat down and went straight to the point.

Theo raised his eyebrows, his gaze falling on my face. He sized me up with a slightly unfamiliargaze as though he did not know me. "Don't you want to introduce her to me, Mr. Milan?"

His charming eyes carried a hint of imperceptible weariness. He must be very busy lately.

Milan took a glance and smirked. "She's just my female companion. Nothing special about her."

Theo nodded and asked no more, seemingly not interested to know more about me.

He glanced at Keith, who nodded and put the white leather case in his hands on the table. Helooked at Milan and asked, "Do you want to inspect the goods here, Mr. Milan?"

Milan glanced blandly at the leather case on the table and said with a smile, "You’re an old friend,Mr. Grant.

I trust you."

Milan looked at me after saying that.

I understood what he meant and reached out to grab the leather case.

As soon as my hand touched the leather case, a broad hand pressed on the back of my hand. Thewarmth of the man's palm put me in a daze.

"What's the rush?" Theo raised his eyebrow. "I don't trust you, Mr. Milan. It's better to be on the safeside, s o let's just inspect the goods here."

He had not removed his hand from mine, and I was starting to grow flustered. I wanted to pull myhand back only to realize that he had tightened his grip on my hand.

Milan smiled slightly. "You're still as cautious as always, Mr. Grant."

As soon as he said that, he suddenly grabbed my arm and pulled me into his arms. Then, helowered his head to kiss me.

It all happened too quickly, and I had no time to react a tall.

When I realized what was going on, Milan had already let go of me.

A large hand grabbed the necklace around my neck. The hand belonged to Theo.

I looked at him and saw that his countenance had completely sunk. The dim light made his gazelook even more vicious.

"What’s with that look on your face, Mr. Grant?” Milan said with a slight smile, "That necklace is toogorgeous. That's why I allowed my female companion t o wear it. You can't possibly think that I'mgoing back on my promise, can you?"

He took off the necklace around my neck after saying that.

Franky had told me to wear the necklace before coming here. He told me to take good care of it and

not to lose it.

Did Theo come here to buy this necklace from Milan, then?

Theo did not say anything and handed the necklace to Keith.

Keith took the necklace and examined it closely, then nodded at Theo.
