Chapter 36 For Albert Barnes
At that moment, the police showed up and walked over once they confirmed who they were supposed to arrest.
“Celia Hawkins, Yvonne Quine, please come with us,” a police officer said.
Susan quickly tried to stop them when she realized they were going to take Celia and Yvonne
away.
However, she accidentally tripped over her dress instead. She fell and hit her head, passing out instantly.
The police took Celia and Yvonne away while Benjamin carried an unconscious Susan out, bringing the whole fiasco to an end.
Now that the ones who should have left were gone, Aaron took Grace to the center of the hall before introducing her.
“Good evening, everyone. Ms. Grace Lewis has already quit her position as secretary to the president of Hawkins Group.
“She is now the general manager of Amirate Corporation’s Pamore branch. I hope we’ll get to work together in the future.” Aaron said.
He had barely finished talking when the crowd started to whisper amongst themselves.
“Ms. Lewis sure rises through the ranks fast. She had just quit her job, but she’s already working with Amirate Corporation? What do you think her relation to Mr. Lewis is?” 1
“They may share a surname, but I don’t think they’re related. If they were related, why would a Lewis girl come all the way to Pamore to marry and be someone’s secretary? For three years,
no less.”
“Still, I think she suffered a lot with the Hawkins. Even if she did cheat on him, it’s justified.”
With Aaron supporting her and the Hawkins exposing themselves, the impact of that negative article on her was basically reduced to zero.
With all the guests extending olive branches to Grace, she got to know a lot of people she had never had the chance to meet before that night.
That included Albert Barnes, the young president of Barnes Group, who approached her with a wine glass in his hand.
“Hello, Ms. Lewis. Your reputation precedes you. I’m Albert Barnes.”
Grace smiled a little and lifted her glass to return the greeting. “Hello, Mr. Barnes.”
