Rural Belle & Three Heirs by Harper Hall

Chapter 15 The Person is Actually Quite Nice

Chloe's heart skipped a beat when Grant reminded her about the mole. She touched her cheek and realized the mole had somehow ended up on her nose. She regretted forgetting the glue wasn't waterproof during her revenge on Sophia. Without a word to Grant, she quickly fixed the mole back in place and headed into the room. As she shut the door, her heart raced. Was Grant onto her secret? She'd come to Sovereign City for a blind date, hoping to dodge the Martin family's heirs by disguising herself. Now that Grant had noticed the mole, he'd probably start paying more attention to her.

If her cover was blown and the Martin heirs took a liking to her, how would she escape? She needed to make sure they didn't like her, so she could get out of this mess once her one-year deal with her grandpa was up.

After Chloe went into the room, Grant stood there, staring at the door, a wild idea forming in his mind. Maybe Chloe wasn't actually ugly; maybe she was hiding something. This girl was definitely interesting.

Grant turned to leave, and his assistant Stanley rushed over with a fresh set of clothes. "Mr. Martin, you should take a bath and change to avoid catching a cold."

"Okay," Grant replied coolly.

As they walked, Grant said, "Stanley, I need you to dig into that girl's background. Get me everything you can."

Stanley looked puzzled. "Mr. Martin, which girl are you talking about? Miss Davis?"

"Yeah, her," Grant confirmed.

Stanley was curious about Grant's sudden interest in Chloe. "Mr. Martin, are you interested in Miss Davis?"
