“But I must remind you that your involvement seems a bit too extensive,” Grace responded.
Linda hadn’t anticipated Grace’s straightforwardness. Therefore, she had no reason to hide anything.
“Ms. Lewis, I’m considering Mr. Fulton’s best interests as well. After all, if you and Mr. Fulton were to become a couple, the rumors and gossip wouldn’t be pleasant.
“Perhaps you wouldn’t mind, but what about Mr. Fulton? Do you think he wouldn’t mind?” Linda asked.
Just as she finished speaking, Xander returned with the pastries.

Linda’s words had undeniably caused unease in Grace’s heart.

Linda had initially thought that Grace would complain to Xander, but to her surprise, Grace didn’t say a word.
Linda remarked, “Mr. Fulton, Ms. Lewis and I get along well. Maybe we can spend more time together in the future.”
“Is that so?” Xander asked Grace again.
