---- Chapter 6 Mabel left, and I got ready to meet Mr. Green. As I glanced outside the window, I saw Mabel leaving arm- in-arm with Jeremy. I did a double-take to be sure it was them. Then, I took a photo and zoomed in to get a better look. Sure enough, it was the two of them! So, this was the emergency Mabel had mentioned? For some reason, I found the sight of them leaving together irritating. Someone knocked on the door. I composed myself before saying, "Come in." Lee walked in. I looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?" "Mabel told me to accompany you tonight." He scratched his head shyly. I realized Mabel had told him to accompany me because she was worried I would be taken advantage ---- of. I felt she was overthinking this-I'd often closed business deals like this in the past and had only stopped after taking up a role behind the scenes. I didn't intend to reject Lee, though. It would bea good idea to bring him along so he could expand his horizons. At that thought, I left with Lee in tow. On the way there, he chatted with me while driving and was unusually attentive. I didn't know whether I was imagining things, but I felt like there was something odd in the way he looked at me. It was similar to how Jeremy looked at me, but there seemed to be other things in his gaze. Still, my mind was in too much of a mess to pay much attention to him. I brushed him off. When we arrived at the private room, things went as Mabel had mentioned. I was only there for show-the deal was soon finalized. Lee offered to drive me home after that, and I didn't say no. As he drove, he started the conversation by talking about work. Gradually, he switched subjects ---- and asked why I didn't have a boyfriend. By the time I realized where he was taking this, I turned to see him staring at me. Fortunately, we had already arrived outside my residential area. I got out of the car to leave, but he stopped me. "Could you give mea shot, Ms. Grant? I fell for you at first sight..." I saw the sincere look on his face. For some reason, Jeremy's figure appeared in my mind. I didn't reject Lee outright, nor did I agree to anything. I said, "It's getting late, so let's not talk about this. Head home and get some rest, okay? Thanks for dropping me off." I broke free of his grip and hurried home. Lee cried behind me, "I'm willing to wait for you, Ms. Grant!" I sped up at his words. This was ridiculous. I pondered the situation while waiting for the elevator, finding this whole thing odd. Why was Lee suddenly acting like this? Just then, I heard footsteps behind me. Something felt off, so I turned to look.
