Goodbye, My Love

“Wait up, Miss Torres!”

Loraine turned around, only to see a young man in a hoodie and pair of jeans running towards them.

Confused, she asked, “What can I do for you?”

The young man panted for a while before raising his head. He had brown curly hair and was so handsome. There were freckles on his nose and cheeks, making him look lovelier.

With a bright smile, he said, “Nice to meet you, Miss Torres. My name is Grady Cruz. I donated the painting that you bought.”

Loraine was stunned.

Why did the donor of the painting come to her? Did he want to take it back now that he knew its real value?

Behavior

Loraine immediately took her guard up a notch.

“Do you want to take back the painting?”

Grady’s forehead broke out in cold sweat as he was being questioned.

His face also turned red.

“Oh, far from it, Miss Torres. The painting is now yours. I don’t have any right to take it back. Actually, I just want to be your friend if it’s okay with you.”

“You want to be her friend?” Jennie piped up, looking at Grady cautiously.

“Yes!” Grady nodded, his eyes gleaming with pure admiration. “My family is involved in the art industry. We have collected a lot of antiques over the years. It seems you are interested in such things, so I’d like to say that you are welcome to my home to see them at any time.”

Loraine let down her guard when she saw the sincerity on Grady’s face.

She could tell that he was just a young art enthusiast who wanted to befriend people of Like mind.

Just as she was about to reply, Marco’s harsh voice from behind.

“She won’t go to your home!” Marco walked up to them and shot Grady a glare.

“Don’t you know that it’s impolite to invite the opposite sex to your house at your first meeting?”

Fiddling his fingers, Grady mumbled, “Long time no see, Marco.”

Did these two know each other?

Loraine became even more interested after Marco interfered.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
