However, Grace only found it funny. Back then, no one in the law firm dared to take her case. Lina had visited the firm several times for her case only to be disappointed each time.
“I don’t suppose I have anything to ask of you now,” said Grace.
He Zhanghuai hurriedly said, “You can’t be a delivery girl for long. Why don’t I ask my friend to recommend a better job that pays well, and you don’t even have to be battered by the wind and rain?”
“You want to help me find a job?” Grace smiled a little. “Have you forgotten who’s the victim in my case? It was Jennifer Atkinson, Jason’s fiancée. Aren’t you afraid?”
He Zhanghuai seemed to look a little awkward. “Grace, I’m sorry I didn’t help with your case. I’ve been regretting it for years, and now that you’re out of prison, I just want to help you in any way I
can,”
“You don’t have to say you’re sorry for not helping me. People will always seek the good and avoid the bad. Helping me would be doing me a favor. There’s nothing to blame if you didn’t help.
However, now that I’ve got through it, there’s no need for you to help me anymore.”
opened, and she walked into it.
He Zhanghuai looked at the elevator door in desolation as it closed slowly. His hands that were at his side slowly clenched into fists.
Back then, he actually had a momentary impulse to take over her case and help her!
At office dinners, she was the only person who would go out of her way to remind colleagues who had been drinking not to drive back but to find a replacement driver.
How could a person like her drink and drive?
She must have been wronged, he thought. However, as a lawyer, he did not even dare to help her clear her name.
He was afraid that her case would be too complicated, and he was afraid that he would have to go against Jason.
Who in Emerald City dared to mess with Jason?
He could only say that Grace had… bad luck!
By noon, Jason’s secretary placed a large order. Grace was in charge of delivering it, and this routine continued for days on end.
Then… Jason would make her stay for lunch.
Grace had explicitly hinted to Jason several times about this, hoping he would not do it again.
However, he raised his eyebrows and asked with a bright smile, “Don’t you like to have lunch with me? I just want you to eat with
Grace was rendered speechless. It was like committing a foul to see his smile with the longing in his amorous eyes.
Grace found it easier and easier to get into a trance while facing Jason.
When she raised the subject to Lina, Lina Sweeney naturally analyzed and texted back.
‘Of course, it’s because of his beauty!”
‘Beauty?’ Grace frowned and replied to Lina Sweeney on the chat page. ‘What do you mean?’
‘Jason looks like a million dollars. How many male celebrities in the entertainment industry can look like him? It’s only fair that you’ll get into a trance when looking at that face every day.”
That sounded about right to Grace.
‘What the hell is going on with you and Jason right now, Grace?
I keep thinking that he might be serious about you,’ texted Lina Sweeney.
‘If he’s just playing some siblings games with you, I don’t think he would have bothered to come and save me because of you, let alone go against Hadwin Stephenson.”
Grace was silently staring at the message from her friend on the phone like there was something wrong with it.
‘Grace? Are you still there?’ Lina Sweeney sent a message to ask
‘I’m here,’ Grace replied with two words and changed the subject by saying, ‘By the way, what is up with you and Hadwin Stephenson?’
‘Well, it’s a long story,’ Lina Sweeney replied. ‘I’ll tell you about it the next time we meet. You said you’ve got a delivery job. When’s your day off now?’
‘Every Saturday after two o’clock. The boss will give me half a day off,’ said Grace. After all, delivery jobs tend to leave relatively little time for rest.
‘All right, let’s meet up on Saturday then,’ said Lina Sweeney.
“Time to deliver the order, Grace.” Kyla Corbyn’s voice rang.
Grace quickly bid Lina Sweeney goodbye, then put away her phone. She looked at the huge pile of packed food Kyla Corbyn had prepared, which, needless to say, was for Reed Group.
However, watching Kyla Corbyn’s beaming face, Grace sighed to herself and put the order on the electric bike.
With more orders, Kyla could make more money and get Nelson a cochlear implant.
When she thought of Nelson, Grace could not help but feel a pang in her heart. An adorable boy like him had such a defect. Plus, she had never seen Nelson’s father after all this time.
Nelson was also a Corbyn, so she could guess something. Maybe Kyla was alone with the child.
In this case, of course, it was more difficult.
Riding on the electric bike, Grace reached the entrance to the Reed Group building. Several security guards were already familiar with Grace. When they saw Grace coming, they enthusiastically put all the food onto the trolley and even helped push it into the building all the way to the elevator. They also kindly pressed the elevator button for her.
As for the receptionist, she greeted Grace with a smile and event bowed in respect.
Grace was probably the only delivery girl to enjoy this.
She, of course, knew that it was all because of Jason.
The door of the elevator opened, and Grace got out with the trolley. Jason’s secretaries surrounded her, consciously taking the food and politely bidding her hello.
Outsiders might even think she was an executive in the company.
Grace walked toward Jason’s office with two lunch boxes. She knocked twice at the door and opened it as usual when she heard him reply.
She was dumbstruck the next moment because there were a lot of well-dressed people in the office. As she was walking into the building, she noticed pictures of these people on the bulletin boards-they were all executives of Reed Group.
For a moment, Grace was staring at them with two lunchboxes in her hand.
“There you are. Take a seat.” Jason pointed to the sofa in the office.
Grace walked over to the sofa almost numbly, put down the lunchboxes, then… sat down and stared at the executives.
“You can eat first. I’ll come and eat when I’m done here,” Jason said in a gentle tone.
Grace was speechless. How could she eat in front of so many people?
Each of these executives felt complicated right now. There had been a rumor going around in the company that the president
Many of them did not believe it and found the rumor ridiculous.
However, the rumor turned out to be true.
This woman was wearing a mandarin jacket with the words ‘Yan
Yan Restaurant’ on it.
All of a sudden, these executives were curious about this Yan Yan
Restaurant. Did the president… particularly enjoy the food at this restaurant?
