The thought of poing to work tomorrow and facing Ethan made ber nervous.
In eudn’t take long before replies flooded in.

“My boyfriend don’t even treat me thus well. Your boss definitely likes you
“Forget boyfriend, even my husband isn’t this considerate. You don’t seem to mind it that much. Why not just be with him?”
“Your relationship is definitely no longer just professional?
Grace quickly replied, “He has absolutely no interest in me
That comment was immediately met with disbeliet
“How is that possible? You’re seriously slow when it comes to relationships. How does he treat others compared to how he treats you?“|||
“The scold to others. He’s cold to me to
“Yeah, because bathing you during your period is totally something a cold person would do.”
Grace felt speechless. She hesitated for a long time before opening Ethan’s contact. She finally sent a message..
Mr Henderson, are you still awake?
It took ten minutes before he replied,
“Thank you Tow tonight,” she said.
Grace was confused by his reply. She stared at the screen, completely puzzled Ethan was implerea Wirally him who changed her clothes and bathed her?
She kept going back and forth Another go minutes passed, and the still couldn’t being herself to ask directly. But if she didn’t ask, how was she supposed to face him tomorrow?
On the other side of the city, Ethan eat in his study, resting his head on one hand and he stared at his phone.
It wasn’t hard to tell that Graer más ansdous, even through the screen.
He hadn’t touched the documents in front of him for a while. When his phone buzzed again, he glanced at it but didn’t pick it up
Grace stayed restless until dawn. The next morning, she was immediately led is her new workstation by Tim upon arriving on the top floor of the office building.
Her desk wasn’t

By Bunchtime, even shule focusing on work, she couldn’t stop thinking about how she would hand seeing Ethan But he never showed up.
He didn’t come to work for the next two days either.
The healed he wasn’t coming, the tension she had been holding onto finally eased, and the could finally focus on her work

With that, she turned and got into the car, looking dejected.
Sloan felt a deep pang of sympathy, and his hatred for Grace grew deeper.

I get over it. Thank you, Sloan,” she replied softly
