Grace stared blankly at her phone, lost in thought.
"Ms. Lewis, here is your ginger tea. Please drink it while it's hot."
Marien's voice broke Grace's train of thought. Grace quickly composed herself and said, "Just leave it, thanks."
"Okay."
As Marien was about to leave, Grace stopped her. "Marien, do you think if someone is suddenly out of reach, it could mean something has happened?"
Marien was experienced in her ways. Seeing Grace's furrowed brows, she instantly understood. "Ms. Grace, you're not talking about Mr. Fulton, are you?"
Grace blushed at having her thoughts read.
"Marien, you ..."
Marien explained with a smile, "You've been mentioning Mr. Fulton for the past few days. It's hard for an old lady like me to ignore it."
Grace's face turned even redder. "Marien, what are you saying?"
Marien reassured her, "Don't worry, Ms. Grace. If Mr. Fulton hasn't been in touch for a while, it might be because he's tied up with something. I believe he will contact you as soon as he's free."
"Will he?"
Grace's tone carried a hint of uncertainty. She hadn't realized the depth of her concern for Xander.
"He will, Ms. Grace. Don't overthink it. The driver will be here to take you to the office soon."
Grace hummed in response, feeling slightly relieved. "I understand, Marien. Thank you!"
Marien left the room with a smile. Grace got out of bed and opened her contact list on her phone. Looking through it, she couldn't find anyone who might have information on Xander.
She fell into deep thought, wondering if she knew too little about Xander.
