Love After One-night Stand with CEO novel Chapter 42

One hour later.

"Grace, are you sure we are eating here?" Rosa frowned and looked around. She felt that it wasn't so appropriate.

Today, Grace dyed her hair black and dressed conservatively, which was quite unusual. She looked much more innocent compared to her usual self.

"I just want to thank you! Rosa, thank you for introducing me to such an amazing job!" Grace was trembling in excitement.

"We don't have to be so extra. One portion of steak here costs 128 dollars, with that amount of money we can already eat three meals at the place in Phoenix Road..." Rosa hurriedly continued, "Grace, money is the only thing we need right now, you shouldn't be wasting it like this!" 

"Aw, Rosa, I know you're worried about me. It's okay, I'll be extravagant just this once. I won't do this again in the future," Grace said with a smile.

"Then you can just order one portion. I'm not hungry, really!" Rosa said sincerely.

Grace was moved. "Rosa, I know you care for me. I promise I won't be so extravagant next time!"

Hearing this, Rosa didn't know what to say.

Soon, the waiter served them two sets of steak.

"Rosa, have a try." Grace said enthusiastically.

Rosa forced a smile, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

She thought that Grace should've known better not to be so wasteful since she was in such a big debt.

But since she had already ordered it, it wouldn't be nice of her to still pull a long face.

"Rosa, you know, I was so excited when you told me about it today," Grace said excitedly while cutting the steak.

"Grace, you need to do your job well. I know you can find another job with the same salary, but this job is more relaxing. Besides, you need a stable job!" 

"Yeah, I like this job a lot. Heavens, not even in my dreams would I thought that I'd be able to work at uncle's house!"

"Uncle?" Rosa frowned.

"Yeah, don't you call him uncle? I can't call him that?" Grace was confused.

"No, nothing." Rosa was a little embarrassed.

"Rosa, don't worry. I'll pay back the two million dollars in no time!" Grace said firmly.

Rosa was puzzled. "'In no time'? What are you planning to do?"

"Do you still remember what I told you?" Grace smirked cunningly.

Rosa remembered and widened her eyes in an instant. "You... you mean, you want to..."

"That's right, I must get close to him. At that time, let alone two million dollars, he'll even be willing to let me spend twenty million dollars!" Grace was excited at the thought of being a step closer to getting rich.

"Grace, please don't have any ideas, I introduced this job to you so that you could have a stable income, not for you to..."

"Oh, I know. Don't worry about it. Eat up!" Grace said hurriedly.

Rosa's mouth opened as she wanted to advise her, but seeing that she wasn't going to listen to her, she could only keep quiet.

At this moment, she didn't know whether she had helped or harmed her.

"Hey, isn't that the uncle Henry?" Grace suddenly exclaimed.

Hearing this, Rosa quickly followed her gaze.

In the 60-inch television in front of the counter, Henry was surrounded by countless reporters.

No, that was not the point.

The point was that he was holding a woman in his arms.

This woman...

She vaguely recalled a figure in her mind.

Rosa immediately connected the dots. "Isn't that the woman she saw last time at the penthouse?"

In the TV, the journalists kept asking questions.

"Mr. Lewis, are you getting engaged to Miss Baker?"

"Mr. Lewis, I heard that Mr. Baker wanted you to marry his daughter and that he will hand over Baker Enterprise to you as your wedding gift. Is it true?"

Henry only smiled elegantly at everyone's questions. 

Seeing that he remain silent, the reporters immediately pointed their microphones at Paige.

"Miss Baker, I heard that you are getting engaged, is that right?" The reporter asked hurriedly.

Paige showed them a 'wealthy daughter' smile. "I'm sorry. It hasn't been decided yet. The decision is yet to be made by my boyfriend."

Henry smiled and walked inside with the petite woman in his arms.

Countless reporters tried to rush in but were stopped by the security guards.

"F*ck, how shameless!" Grace furiously stabbed her fork into the steak.

Rosa agreed with her. "Indeed, how shameless!"

Sure enough, this man was a monster in the body of a human!

He had a girlfriend, yet he still messed with her!

"I can tell at a glance that this woman is a scheming b*tch!" Grace snorted.

Rosa was stunned and looked at her in dismay. "Who are you talking about?"

"Of course it's that Paige girl. F*ck, she thinks she's so great just because she's rich. Did you see that? Her looked so eager to be engaged to uncle just now. Ha, uncle is so cool, he didn't agree to it!" As soon as she said this, she smirked and said, "Uncle is mine!"

The corners of Rosa's mouth twitched, and she was speechless.

It seemed like they both had completely different ideas. 

After the meal, Grace bid farewell to her.

"Rosa, I have to go first. I need to pack up my stuff."

"Are you sure you want to live there? Luke said that you didn't have to, right?" Rosa frowned.

"How do you think I'm supposed to get close to him?"

"But doesn't grandma need someone to take care of her at night?" This was what she cared about the most.

Grace was stunned and immediately said, "Grandma can take care of herself. Don't worry, I won't be away from her for too long. The faster I make uncle mine, grandma would be able to enjoy life at the mansion."

Hearing this, Rosa felt that she was exaggerating.

Therefore, she wanted to advise her, "Grace, you..."

"Okay, I have to go now." Grace's mind was already in Lewis Mansion. She definitely had no means to listen to what she has to say.

Seeing this, Rosa sighed helplessly.

She turned around and walked home.

On a summer night.

It only became dark after 7 p.m.

However, Lewis Mansion was still completely bright even though it was dark at night. 

At this moment, the maids had already finished their work in the garden.
