Facing Evelyn Clayton’s indifference, Jas Grant felt sowhat despondent for a mont, but when he glanced at May beside him, he felt a bit more at ease.
Maybe, it was because soone else was here.
Jas Grant fixed his gaze on May, his tone cold, "Please, could you let speak with Director Sinclair privately?"
May realized she was unnecessary, her cheeks warming slightly, and she quickly exited.
After the door of the reception room closed, Evelyn Clayton’s expression noticeably softened.
Noticing this small detail, Jas Grant felt considerably more at ease.
Evelyn Clayton walked directly to the sofa beside him and sat down, looking at Jas Grant, she said, "Next ti you co over, you can send a ssage in advance."
She was puzzled, clearly she had already given Jas Grant her contact information, so why was he still coming over so suddenly?
Though Evelyn Clayton’s tone was still indifferent, it was clearly more familiar than before. Even if it didn’t carry any special aning, Jas Grant was still happy inside.
Jas Grant couldn’t help but smile in his eyes, "I heard Apex is holding a shareholders’ eting today, so I thought you wouldn’t have ti to check your phone, so I ca directly. Sorry."
Evelyn Clayton did not dwell on this issue but simply asked, "What is the matter?"
Jas Grant took out an invitation and pushed it in front of Evelyn Clayton.
Evelyn Clayton took a closer look—it was a wedding invitation.
She subconsciously sensed sothing was off as she picked it up to take a look.
After confirming the location, an idea vaguely surfaced in Evelyn Clayton’s mind—
Could the couple on this wedding invitation be the ones Shane Sinclair knows?
Before the thought could settle, Jas Grant spoke first—
"At the end of this month, the Sinclair Family’s son and the Whitman Family’s eldest daughter are getting married at the manor on the outskirts, a lot of people will be attending. I got this invitation, so I ca especially to give it to you."
Jas Grant’s tone was gentle and steady, "I think, since you’ve just appeared at Apex as Shannon Sinclair, you’ll undoubtedly attend various banquets as Shannon Sinclair. This wedding will be a good opportunity to mingle with many social elites from Aethelburg."
Seeing Evelyn Clayton holding the invitation without speaking, Jas Grant couldn’t help but beco more nervous.
Suddenly realizing sothing, he hurriedly added, "I know, the Sinclair Family might also give you one, but this is just a small token of my personal regard."
By the end, Jas Grant’s voice gradually lowered, "If you are willing, we could attend together..."
At his words, Evelyn Clayton looked at Jas Grant, and seeing him like this, she beca montarily dazed.
She had rarely seen Jas Grant like this.
So uneasy, so anxious, so full of hope.
Like an awkward young boy eager to present all his good things to his beloved.
In her daze, Evelyn Clayton recalled the way Jas Grant looked when she first arrived at the Sinclair Family.
At that ti, they were both quite young, and Jas Grant’s awkwardness had a hint of recklessness, yet it was not at all annoying.
Just like now.
Evelyn Clayton slightly pressed her lips together, and after a while, she slowly pushed the invitation back.
It was hard for her to et Jas Grant’s eyes.
As if with one more glance, she would no longer be able to control her heart’s fluttering.
Seeing Evelyn Clayton push back the invitation, Jas Grant was montarily stunned, a bit dazed.
"Thank you for your kind gesture," Evelyn Clayton’s voice was softer, "but I’m sorry, I’ve already agreed to attend the wedding with Shane."
The color drained a little from Jas Grant’s face.
He couldn’t speak for a long ti and finally asked hesitantly, "Why?"
