Chapter 106: Paige Lawson Held Up a Backless Sundress Against Her Body

"Darling, does this look good?" Paige Lawson held up a backless sundress against her body.

Grant Holloway kept his eyes glued to his phone screen. "Mhm."

She picked up another floral dress. "How about this one? Too plain?"

"Fine."

"Then this?" She lifted a deep V-neck slip dress. "A bit sexier..."

Paige suddenly realized Grant hadn't glanced her way the entire time.

Her brows furrowed in irritation, but she swallowed her anger.

"Sweetheart~" She fluttered into his arms like a butterfly. "Help me choose one."

Grant pointed absently. "That one."

"Oh! That's my favorite too!" She blinked in delight. "We're so in sync~ Now I'll..." She bit her lip. "Try it on for you?"

"Mhm."

Paige began unbuttoning her dress right in front of him.

Only when she unhooked her bra did Grant finally look up. His gaze was as indifferent as if studying furniture.

"What are you doing?" He frowned.

She froze.

"Is the dressing room broken?"

"...I'll go now." Grabbing the dress, she fled in embarrassment.

When she returned, Grant was massaging his temples. This impromptu vacation had left a backlog of company documents he'd just finished.

"Ready?" He stood.

"Y-yes."

"Let's go." He walked out without looking back.

Paige's enthusiasm evaporated. But she quickly rallied—once other men admired her on the beach, he'd get jealous.

She deliberately tugged her neckline lower.

"Wait for me~"

The beach swarmed with people.

Colorful bikinis and swim trunks glinted under the sun. Paige purposefully kept distance from Grant, drawing appreciative whistles.

Grant ignored them all, heading straight for a lounge chair.

Paige hovered awkwardly.

She came to enjoy herself, not endure indifference. But for Grant, she'd swallow anything.

"Hi, beautiful island rose." A blond man approached. "From Bellwether?"

She flashed a sweet smile. "Yes! You know the city?"

"I studied there at university..."

Their conversation flowed, but Paige kept stealing glances at Grant's reaction.
