Chapter 269 Graysonâs Hesitance
When Catherine emerged from the hospital, she immediately spotted the familiar car parked at the entrance. As if it had become a routine, Catherine didnât show a hint of surprise and headed straight for the vehicle.
As she approached, Branden got out of the car in advance and kindly opened the door for her. His arm leaned against the wall, which ensured Catherine didnât bump her head.
Catherine skillfully bent down and settled into the car. Both of them were fully engrossed in each other. Neither of them noticed that Grayson was watching them intently without moving.
Graysonâs assistant, Finlay Patel, was standing nearby. He had been with Grayson for many years and was his closest confidant.
âPeerless Grayson, why didnât you go and greet Catherine?â
As Graysonâs personal assistant, Finlay knew better than anyone how busy Grayson was. Grayson could spare time for the hospital because he sacrificed his precious rest.
Finlay also understood Graysonâs purpose in going there. But when Catherine had passed by them just now, Grayson had hesitated to greet her, which frustrated Finlay immensely.
Faced with Finlayâs question, Grayson hesitated and didnât know how to respond. He also questioned why he hadnât mustered the courage to say hello earlier. He thought inwardly, âWould Boss have stayed if I had greeted her?â
Grayson was known for his fearlessness and never hesitating in any endeavor. He couldnât understand why he was so cautious and hesitant around Catherine and refrained from doing anything. Maybe it was because Catherine was just too powerful.
Seeing Graysonâs reaction, Finlay couldnât help but want to offer some advice. In Finlayâs view, Grayson looked like a naive young man who had fallen helplessly in love for the first time. Finlay thought inwardly, âPeerless Grayson is undeniably excellent and outstanding.
âHowever, Peerless Grayson has spent years solely focused on his career and his fans. He lacks any experience in matters of love, so it is normal for him to be unsure how to handle them.â
After much hesitation, Finlay finally made up Grayson. his mind to start persuading
âPeerless Grayson, your career is at its peak now, and your status in the industry is no longer as humble as it used to be. You have a lot of autonomy. If you want to date without going public, thatâs entirely possible.â
Grayson didnât pay much attention to Finlayâs words but caught the part about starting an underground relationship with Catherine. That was something he couldnât accept. He whispered, âNo need. If sheâs willing, Iâll let the whole world know that she belongs to me.â
He thought inwardly, âAs long as sheâs willing.â
Inwardly, Finlay couldnât help but admire Graysonâs declaration. It was bold, though perhaps it was a bit premature.
âPeerless Grayson, I understand what you mean. But have you ever heard the saying to strike while the iron is hot?â
Grayson turned his head and looked at his assistant in confusion. As Finlay Looked at Graysonâs expression, he couldnât help but suppress the urge to make sarcastic remarks.
âPeerless Grayson, did you not see how attentive that man was just now? Itâs clear heâs interested in Catherine. If you donât make a move soon, she might end up with someone else.â
Finlayâs words plunged Grayson deep into thought. He had noticed the presence of Branden during the recent celebration gala. Catherine had left with Branden without even exchanging a word with Grayson.
During their stay at the hot spring resort, Branden had also stood by Catherine in a way that suggested a romantic relationship. This time, it was Branden again.
Grayson thought inwardly, âCould it beâ¦â
Grayson furrowed his brows and silently sank into contemplation.
