Chapter 50 That Poor Girl

Chloe figured that since she had already asked, Grant would just give her the account details. But to her surprise, Grant said, "Nah, keep the extra cash for your errands. No need to return it. Just help me out next time I need something." Grant's generosity left Chloe at a loss for words. "Grantie, isn't this a bit much?" she managed to say.
