Chapter 54
The moment Naomi threw out a casual remark, Grayson hesitated. His gaze, slow and deliberate, mixed with both surprise and confusion, unlike before. Naomi, seeing his reaction, was once again taken aback.
"Really? You actually found it?" she asked.
"No."
Before Naomi could even get excited, Grayson stopped her.
"That guy hates me."
The unexpected words caused Naomi to blink in confusion as she looked at him. Did he really think that at this moment? I asked him if that man was his fate! I didn’t ask if he liked or disliked you!
"He hates you?" Naomi asked, suppressing her excitement and casually asking the question. Now was the time to unleash her acting skills, the very ones that had earned her the Best Actress award at the Academy. So, right now, you’re more concerned about whether he # Nоvеlight # has feelings for you than whether he's your fate? Really? As the flood of questions surged in her mind, Grayson answered, as if responding to them.
"It’s weird, isn’t it? I haven’t done anything to hurt him."
Watching him shrug, Naomi spoke with a touch of sympathy.
"That’s odd. You’re always trying to help others, aren’t you?"
"Yeah, I am."
Grayson flashed a smug smile, as if it was only natural. Of course, Naomi knew well that his idea of "helping" was far from ordinary. But Grayson, true to his selfish nature, didn’t care at all about others' perspectives or feelings—only that he acted the way he did for his own reasons. The problem always arose there, but Grayson never thought so. It probably wouldn’t be any different this time.
