After all, Claire Watts had been watching Grace when she knitted the gloves. Grace even asked Claire Watts for help when she was stumped. Claire Watts certainly remembered.
However, as soon as she said this, she was laughed at by the crowd.
“Claire Watts, Grace may know how to knit a pair of gloves, but can they be worn on Jason’s hand?”
“Jason only wears hand-knitted items by master designers. How can he wear something made by a sanitation service worker?”
“Hey, Claire Watts is telling us a joke!”
Hearing this, Claire Watts stopped talking and was slightly embarra**ed. She only turned to Grace and muttered under her breath, “Grace, those gloves Jason wore last night really look like the ones you knitted. They say the gloves are custom-made by a big brand. As far as I can see, what these big brands made are similar to yours!”
Grace was speechless. They were the same, alright?
When she got off work in the afternoon, Grace got another call from Jason’s driver, saying that Jason had asked him to come and pick her up from work.
Terrified, Grace told the driver to wait 500 meters away from the Sanitation Service Center. She then made her way there while avoiding the others and got into the car.
After getting into the car, Grace took a long breath. It would be a burden to her if she had to commute like this every day!
When she got back to the Reed Residence, Jason had not come back. Uncle Kwan said that Jason had a meeting at the company, so he would come back later and asked Grace to eat first.
At the huge dinner table, Grace ate alone with a table full of dishes.
Although the food was plentiful, there was an indescribable sense of loneliness about sitting alone at such a large table.
Suddenly, she thought of Jason. The media said that Old Master Reed was being hospitalized and recuperating there, which meant that Jason had been eating at a big table like this alone?
With this in mind, Grace somehow felt her heart go heavy.
Meanwhile, at the Cummins family’s house, Evelyn was absentmindedly eating. “Why are you eating at home these two days? Don’t you have to accompany Brian?” Melinda Riley asked as she helped her baby daughter with her food.
‘Accompany?’ Evelyn mocked herself. Brian had not called her in the past two days. She even went to Brian’s company specifically to look for him but was turned away. She was told that he was busy.
Brian’s sudden change of attitude frightened her, and she somewhat figured out it was because of Grace.
Brian saw her treating Grace that way, so… Was Brian now angry with her over Grace?
At the thought of this, Evelyn was even more confused. She secretly gritted her teeth. How on earth did Grace know
Brian?! Why had she not heard from Brian or Grace about this before?
“You’ve got to hold on to Brian!” Melinda Riley reminded.
“That’s right. Don’t be like your sister and make such a big mistake in the end. All your efforts will be in vain then.” Tony Cummins also reminded his daughter.
Tony Cummins was furious at the thought that his eldest daughter’s great potential marriage was ruined by a car accident she had previously caused.
He could have been the father-in-law of the President of Stevens Group.
However, it was now better. His younger daughter’s current boyfriend was the prince of the entertainment industry, Brian! The Hart family was much more formidable than the Stevens family. They were the big boys.
“I know,” Evelyn said as she suppressed her insecurities. For now, the only way to find out was to ask Grace.
She must find out exactly what Grace’s relationship with Brian was!
When Grace finished washing up that night and left the bathroom, she saw a light shining through a gap in the door that joined the two rooms.
Was Jason… back?
Grace thought as she raised her hand to knock on the door. She wanted to talk to him about the driver issue.
However, when she knocked on the door, it was not fully closed. Her knock opened the door, and she saw a large projection. It was obvious that there was a video conference taking place on the screen. There were many foreigners on it.
Now, the people in the video conference were all looking at her.
“There’s a woman. Oh my God, why is there a woman here so late at night?” someone said in surprise.
“Jason, is this your lover?”
“How about an introduction?”
“This can’t be the woman who called in the last meeting.”
All kinds of sounds filled the room for a moment until the room finally became quiet. Jason had cut off the sound.
However, she could still see the people in the video conference looking at her curiously.
“Yes?” Jason asked as he turned to look at Grace.
“Well… Sorry for interrupting your meeting.” She stood awkwardly, unaware that he was in the middle of a video conference.
“It’s all right,” he said. “If you want anything from me, just say so.”
“You don’t have to ask the driver to fetch me to and from work tomorrow. I can take the bus myself,” she said.
“Why? You take the bus with four wheels. The driver also sends you by car with four wheels. What’s the difference?” He raised his eyebrows slightly.
Of course, it was different!
“It’s… too eye-catching,” she hesitated and said.
He thought for a while before saying, “Which car did the driver pick you up in today?”
“The silver Maybach,” she said.
“All right, I’ll have a word with the driver later and get you an inconspicuous car,” he said.
Grace immediately felt speechless. That was not the point at all.
“What I was trying to…”
“Does Sis want me to send you personally?” Jason jumped to his feet and approached Grace. He bent over with a faint smile. His face was suddenly close to hers. “If that’s what you want, so be it.”
Grace’s face suddenly turned red. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the people in the video conference. They were all looking curiously at them while gossiping.
Grace just felt like she was a panda being watched by the crowd.
“Hmm? Does Sis really want me to send you?” His voice once again rang in her ears.
She blushed even more before quickly saying, “No.” With that, she hurried back into her room and shut the adjoining door.
Jason smiled faintly. When he turned around, his face reverted to its usual expression. He went to the chair and sat down, reconnecting the audio system.
“Let’s proceed with the meeting,” Jason said lightly, seemingly ignoring the fact that everyone was trying to pry.
“Jason, is this the one who called you during our last meeting?” someone asked as he could not help but pry.
Jason raised his eyebrows slightly. “Why, do you want to know?”
Suddenly, the man shivered and said with a dry smile, “Then… We’ll just proceed with the meeting.”
Although it was a meeting, there was a voice in everyone’s heart that speculated that their president seemed to be living together… with a woman!
Evelyn was surprised when she went to look for Grace in the rented house but found nothing. There was no one in the rented house at all. There was no light, and no one answered when she knocked.
She thought Grace was out and had not come back, so she ended up waiting until after 1 a.m. She was getting sick from the cold, but Grace still had not come back.
She left in a rage and found her the next morning at the Sanitation Service Center.
Nice treatise on a new chapter of Grace’s life. Thanks for more story line to come.
