Chapter 15
Before Grace realized what she did, she was chasing after Heinz.
As soon as Grace came out, she saw the man's back, tall and straight.
Without hesitation, she quickly stepped forward to block Heinz’s way. "Mr. Jones, please wait."
Heinz stopped and looked down at her, but he didn't say anything.
Grace had to ask, "What do you want?"
Heinz's eyes were extremely cold. "Miss Smith, I'm going to settle it with Lilian. Why are you
overreacting?"
Grace was embarrassed herself with sarcasm again. She said rudely, "Then why did you kiss me?"
"I just wanted to confirm something," Heinz said in a deep voice.
"What is it?" Grace couldn't help but ask due to her curiosity.
"To confirm whether I have feelings for you" Heinz continued.
Grace was confused.
"Do you want to know how I feel?" Heinz asked.
Grace shook her head subconsciously.
Heinz sneered and turned to leave.
Grace did not respond for a long time until she heard the director's voice, "Grace, what did Mr. Jones
say to you?"
She immediately came to her senses and shook her head. "Nothing."
"It’s not that simple, is it? Do you know Mr. Jones?" Chen sneered.
Grace shook her head. "I don't know him."
"It seems that you know him very well, especially when you were talking. The photos were taken by
you. You have brought a lot of trouble to our company."
Grace did not expect the director to be so shameless.
She took a deep breath and said, "Director Chen, I admitted that I took the photos. But you as the
leader reviewed it before the news was issued. Wasn’t you the person in charge of the review?"
Being retorted like this, Chen's face darkened and he said coldly, "What? Do you want to teach me a
lesson?"
Grace shook her head. "No, director. I'm worried about Miss Ross. Shouldn’t we call the police?"
"Forget it. We can't afford to mess with Heinz Jones. I’m sure Lilian will be released tomorrow." Chen
said, "Don't worry about it."
Grace was disgusted by his attitude.
Chen was not anxious even when his staff was taken away like this. Grace was speechless.
"Grace, let's go. I'll send you." Chen said, "It's too late. It's not safe for you to be alone."
"No, thanks." Grace shook her head. "I'll go by myself."
Chen frowned unhappily. "What if something happens to you?"
Grace pursed her lips, trying to refuse politely, "Thanks, Director Chen, I'm afraid that you couldn't do
anything if something really happened to me. Miss Ross was taken away, but you could do nothing
about it. Sorry, I have to go first."
"Grace, you are very arrogant." Chen was shocked by her words and looked very embarrassed. He
stepped forward and blocked her way.
Grace was indifferent, she didn't even try to explain her attitude.
"Well, I got it." Chen suppressed his anger and said, "You are challenging me."
"Then just fire me," Grace said calmly without any fear.
Grace didn't show any respect to him anymore. She felt that Chen should take the blame for this matter
today. He should have predicted the consequences before this news was released. He should have
taken countermeasures, but obviously, he didn't. He even let Lilian take the blame for the company,
and didn't care about Lilian after she was taken away.
Chen smiled contemptuously and said sarcastically, "Do you want to resign? Our contract has been
signed. You will have to pay ten times your salary as termination fine if you resign from the company
within the first six months."
Grace was angry at the threatening.
Seeing his words worked, Chen was walking on air, "Think about it!"
Grace did not speak. She protested with silence and walked straight away to the other side of the
corridor.
Chen watched her leaving, with a fierce and disgusting look on his face.
When Grace got off the elevator, her phone rang.
Grace picked it up and said softly, "Baby, Mommy will come back now. Can't you wait?"
"I can wait. It's aunt who has checked the watch several times. I think it may be time for her to go now."
A child's voice came from the other side, calm and composed. "Mommy, if you're not done with your
work, I'll let aunt leave first. I can stay in the room by myself."
"No, you can’t stay there on your own. You're a kid." Grace immediately said, "I'll take a taxi back in 20 C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
