Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 141

The people inside were startled when they heard the knock. But once they saw it was Grace, they let out a sigh of relief and even pulled her into their gossip session.

"Grace, you know her brother, right? Was she really adopted? Do you think Mr. Henderson has feelings for her?"

Grace filled up her cup and smiled lightly. "I'm not really sure."

As she was about to leave, she overheard a few sarcastic comments.

"Pfft, 'not sure.' I think she's just afraid of offending Jodie."

"Yeah, Yancey is Jodie's brother. It's no secret that she's still obsessed with him."

"She's living without any dignity. She completely humiliated herself for a man. It's disgusting."

Grace turned around and smiled brightly at the group.

"Gossiping during office hours, huh? I'll just tell Mr. Henderson about this and maybe he'll dock your pay."

The group immediately paled. They quickly refilled their cups and left in a hurry.

Grace was still seething, feeling unsettled as she returned to her desk.

Just then, Jodie walked out of the office. As she passed Grace's workstation, she swiped all the documents off Grace's desk with a smug look. She then looked at Grace like a proud little princess, waiting to watch her reaction.

However, Grace said nothing. Upon seeing that, Jodie lost interest almost immediately.

"What's wrong? My brother mentioned your temper has been acting up lately, but you don't seem that bad."

She rolled her eyes and added, "Oh, by the way, I've got dinner plans with my uncle tonight. Just so you know, none of your tricks will work on either my brother or my uncle. You're nothing more than someone who can only run errands for the men of the Henderson family."

With that, she strutted off.

The people at the other workstations began whispering among themselves.

Grace ignored them, bending down to pick up the documents from the floor.

Jodie had Ethan backing her up, and he was someone she couldn't afford to offend. A wise person would know when to step back.
