Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 102

Henderson Group's records room was huge, with a good 3,200 square feet of filing space.

Grace walked in carrying a broom, figuring she'd be stuck cleaning for hours, but the place was obviously professionally maintained. There was not a speck of dust in sight, so there was no need for cleaning.

She grabbed a random book, plopped it over her face, and settled for a nice, guilt-free nap. She had lost track of time when the book was suddenly lifted from her face.

Grace blinked the sleep from her eyes, looked up, and nearly jumped out of her skin at the sight of Ethan standing there.

Ethan lifted the book, eyeing the cover before reading aloud in his rich, deep voice. "Sharing a Home With My Boss?"

Seriously? Since when did the records room stock this kind of trash?

Grace had just needed something to shade her eyes. She hadn't even looked at what she was grabbing! It must've belonged to one of the cleaning staff. Heat flooded her cheeks, and her whole body grew tense.

"That's someone else's," she rushed to explain.

The door was closed, and Ethan was standing beside her, no longer in his wheelchair. The afternoon sunlight draped over them like a warm blanket. He turned to the first page with a graceful flick of his finger.

Grace wanted to disappear. That title alone promised way more than she ever wanted Ethan to see. She lunged for the book, yanking it away and tossing it across the room.

"Mr. Henderson, trust me. You don't want that filth in your head."

Ethan, clad in a black suit, took in her flushed face before turning away. "You were supposed to be cleaning, not napping."

"Sorry," Grace said instantly, dropping her gaze.

Slowly, he sank into the wheelchair with an almost unreal presence. In a detached tone, he said, "We're going somewhere."

"Right now?"

"Yeah."
