Grace took a deep breath. "Mr. Yule, are you interested in meeting Yasmine? I can give you her phone number directly."
Simon lowered his gaze, his impatience with her palpable.
"I don't have Ethan's patience. One more word, and you can get the hell out."
Grace felt a surge of anger, but she really didn't have the power to challenge Simon.
When she got downstairs, she felt a knot of unease in her stomach.
She took several steps back when she bumped into someone coming the other way.
It was Jodie, whose voice immediately turned shrill as she yelled, "Grace!"
Since the whipping incident, Grace had been trying to avoid this woman. She hadn't expected to run into her today.
She lowered her head and tried to walk past, but Jodie blocked her way.
"Grace, looks like you're all healed up. So you're back to your old tricks, huh? What are you doing here? Don't tell me you followed my brother again? Just because my uncle doesn't want you, you've set your sights on my brother now?"
Jodie's expression was full of resentment, like she wanted nothing more than to pull out a whip and beat Grace again.
Grace was a little surprised. What would Yancey be doing at Yule Group?
Grace did not want to fight, so she tried to leave, but Jodie swung her bag.
Grace dodged, but then a hard slap landed on her cheek.
She couldn't duck in time, and now there was a huge hand mark on her face.
Jodie smirked, pleased with herself. "What did I tell you? Stay away from me, or I'll hit you whenever I see you!"
Grace felt her face burn from the slap. She threw the contract at Jodie's face.
Jodie stumbled back, almost crying.
Just then, she saw Yancey and ran to him.
"Yancey! Look what she did!"
There were papers everywhere, and Grace bent down to scoop them up.
