Chapter 169 The Hidden Strings
Summer gutted her teeth and torved herselt to remam patient out tell me the great Bossinan, Mr. Graham, is going on huis word now!
Fraser exhaled a slow strain of smoke, his lipsuring to that annoyingly used gum “Simmer, I said I needed to be sattsted. But clearly I was the one who did all the work last might
Is he seriously suggesting I should have been the one? This man is absolutely insane!
The way Summer was biting her lower lip and trowning made her look like an irritated kitten about to undersch her claws. and scratch someone.
As if reading her thoughts, Fraser’s tree hand, the one not holding hus cigarette, snaked around her waist with practiced case, pulling her flush against his hand body.
His dark eyes sparkled with mischief and something more dangerous as he leaned down, hus warm breath ghosting across the bowl of her car as he whispered. “Shall we continue tonight? Give you a lunce to participate more actively)
Summer couldn’t help the sneer that escaped her. How energetic of you, Mr. Grabamı”
His answering chuckle sent vibrations through her entire body. “Can’t afford not to be”
He murmured, his lips brushing deliberately against her sensitive carlobe. “Not when my temporary gulfciens might be leaving any day now. I should make the most of our… hmmited time together, don’t you think?”
She brought her hands up to press against his chest, just as Merry’s voice echoed down the hall. “Summer? Summer, where
are you?”
Reacting instinctively, Summer clenched Fraser’s expensive shirt in her hands and pressed herself sleeper into his shadow. if she could disappear inside him.
A low, knowing laugh rumbled from above her. “All that fire and attitude, and you’re afraid your little assistant will see ins together?” His tone dripped with amusement.
After several days of working closely together, Summer knew Merry’s personality all too well; if the girl discovered their relationship I trould undoubtedly begin to “help” in the most well–intentioned but ultimately disastrous tEVEYS,
There’s no point in letting people know about our relationship, Sumser urmured against his chest, her words slightly nuffled by his shirt. “Since we’re going to go our separate ways eventually anyway, I don’t want you to think I’m using your precious family name and title for advantage.”
Fraser’s grip on her waist tightened almost painfully for a brief moment. “How… considerate of you,” he said, his voice suddenly several degrees colder.
They remained frozen in that position until Merry’s searching footsteps finally faded down the corridor. Only then did Fraser release her, not without giving her a sharp, stinging slap on the backside that made her jump,
“She had already gone away, little rabbit.”
Outside the Sonata Bar, Summer stepped into the cool night air and immediately spotted Merry waiting anxiously at the
“There you are!” Merry ran over, her eyes narrowing suspiciously. “Tve been looking everywhere for you! Where do you go?
Summer straightened her slightly wrinkled blouse. I went to the washroom”
Merry narrowed her eyes. I had just searched all over the bathroom.
“I went there too, how come I didn’t see you? Huh, why is your lace so red?

Merry carefully looked at Summer, with a bit of gossip in his voice, “What is your relationship with hum
Summer looked ahead; her voice was waveless, “Just recognize
“Oh, well.”
Merry pouted at the non–answer, but sensing Summer’s unwillingness to elaborate, she wisely changed the subject.
The car soon arrived at the hospital.
Summer and Merry carried the fresh fruits and nutritional supplements they had just purchased on their way, heading toward the hospital room.
Merry, bouncing with energy, was about to push the door open when they heard voices inside.
Why is our family so unfortunate? Now we can’t even afford your father’s minor surgery fees?
“Mom, I’m sorry. If I hadn’t brought Mason into our home back then, we wouldn’t be in this situation.”
“Ah, Sienna, this is just fate. Over these years, our family has been constantly paying off debts, and your design firm keeps requiring investments Maybe… you should just find a stable job instead.
Summer knocked on the door, interrupting the conversation betweenSienna’s mother, Laurett Reed, and Sienna
She glanced at Sienna’s father, Natelie Monroe, who was still unconscious after the surgery.
“Hello, Madam Laurent,” Summer greeted warmly.
Merry followed behind, placing the supplements and fruits on the table before greeting politely, “Hello, Madam Laurett”
Laurent studied Summer’s face, a flicker of recognition passing through her eyes..
Summer smiled and explained, “Back in university, Sienna once brought me and Yvette to your home for dinner.”
The reminder sparked Laurent’s memory.
Her gaze swept over Summer Once a timid young girl, now a poised and elegant woman.
Having been a society lady herself, Laurett could tell at a glance that Summer’s outfit wasn’t cheap.
“Summer. I remember you all now I’ve seen in the news that Yvette has become a big celebrity”
