Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 763:

When Burnet heard that Silver Fox had bought him a gift, he was taken aback. He couldn’t quite figure her out. They had been in the middle of discussing how to tackle the issue at hand when she suddenly brought up a gift.

After mulling it over, he thought he could see where she was coming from. It made sense—maybe she was trying to smooth things over and cool his temper with a peace offering.

So, with a teasing grin, he asked, “Miss Swain, are you trying to win my forgiveness with this gift?”

Silver Fox gave an awkward smile. The truth was, she hadn’t intended to mention the gift right then. It had just slipped out, a momentary lapse in judgment.

When she bought the gift, it had been a spur-of-the-moment decision, inspired by seeing Marissa pick something up for Connor. It was just a quirky porcelain figurine, barely worth ten dollars. How could she expect him to forgive her with such a cheap trinket, especially after she’d really roughed him up? Burnet was the head of the Hoffman Group, a man of considerable status. It would take more than a simple gift to patch things up between them.

After a nervous laugh, Silver Fox came clean. “No, this gift was actually bought before that little mix-up when I accidentally kidnapped you.”
