“If you dare to go out, I will let you lose your job!”
Grace is threatening.
Alex listens to her voice and is disgusted. “Miss Grace, I don’t think you know whose company this is.”
Alex is signing with a pen. When he hears Grace, he unconsciously breaks the pen in his hand.
Grace is shocked when the pen breaks. It suddenly occurs to her that Alex is neither her father nor Augus and that he will not spoil her.
Grace thinks that the real purpose of her coming here is to have a good talk with Alex.
She turns and pouts and looks at Alex as if she were cute. Her voice is coquettish. “You scare me. I don’t want to talk to you.” With that, she turns and leaves.
Grace is not stupid. If she stays, Alex will call and ask the security guard to go upstairs and take her away, and he seems to really want to do so. She might as well leave on her own and don’t lose face. She will come back next time.
But Grace’s move just stuns Alice. What does she do? Is she kidding?
Alice looks to Alex and looks forward to his explanation, but she sees that Alex is working. She thinks she’d better do her own work.
Augus really hates Miya, so in recent days, he publicizes the news that she is dead and sends out a notice that Grace can enter and leave Alex Group’s departments at will.
So every employee respects Grace.
Grace was also born in a wealthy family and has always been envied, so she thinks she is noble. When she passes the departments, she holds her head high and fears that others don’t know her.
“Hello, Miss Grace.”
Some employees greet Grace eagerly when they see her. After all, they hear she is the next president’s wife. They have to flatter her so that they won’t lose.
Later, more employees greet her.
Grace just blinks and nods and doesn’t reply.
So as soon as she leaves, there is a lot of discussion.
“Who does she think she is!” Some grumpy people can’t help losing their temper.
“Keep it down. After all, she is the next president’s wife.”
“Is the news reliable? Isn’t our president very fond of his wife?”
“But she died, so the old president chose another woman. But she is not as good as the president’s original wife.”
“Forget it. The leaders’ gossip has nothing to do with us. Anyway, this woman just wants to show off. She won’t have any real impact on us.”
They feel it makes sense so they stop talking about Grace and keep working.
In the evening, Alex comes home. The children are already at the table, but it seems that dinner has just begun.
“I’m full.”
As soon as Joey sees Alex, she says she is full and leaves her seat.
“I’m full, too.” Ben follows Joey and leaves his seat.
