Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon

Chapter 154

"That's wonderful. When you have some time, let's set up a meeting to discuss the details," Granger said.

The two of them quickly exchanged contact information.

Effie shot Nita a playful wink, nudging her to seize the opportunity.

Nita gave an awkward nod.

She could see it clearly now-Granger liked Effie. That kind of look was impossible to fake.

But Granger didn't know Effie was married.

It seemed his quiet crush was doomed from the start.

The dinner party lasted until around ten o'clock before Granger spoke up again. "Let me drive you home."

"I... well..." Effie was about to decline. Lyman should be arriving any minute now.

Just then, the private room door swung open, and a familiar figure appeared_ Lyman.

With one hand in his pocket, dressed sharply in his tailored suit, he swept a cool gaze across the group before finally locking eyes with Effie. He walked over, a faint smile tugging at his lips. "I've come to pick you up."

The room fell instantly silent, every pair of eyes fixed on Lyman.
