True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) novel Chapter 106

Back at the president's office, at Jones Estate.

Heinz Jones exuded an aura that kept strangers away from him, as if he had come from hell. His stern face was filled with a frightening deadliness.

Grace Smith stole a glance at him, and it was as if she was in the North Pole. She was instantly frozen by his icy demeanour.

She didn't know what happened had during Heinz's meet-up with Jensen. Heinz didn't even look at her when he came back, as if he had a great hatred for her.

She did not dare move, and could only lower her head.

For an hour, they both sat quietly in the president's office without uttering a word.

Even the air around them seemed to be filled with ice. Heinz did not even take a peek at her since he returned. Sitting on his large chair, Heinz picked up a cigarette and started smoking. He didn't say a word, completely ignoring Grace's existence.

Soon, it was lunch time.

Grace looked at her watch and thought, "He hasn't gone out yet. Doesn't he want to eat?"

She had not brought any biscuits today.

Heinz came back with a meal yesterday. Could it be that he was so angry that he did not feel like eating today, and she had to suffer with him?

She would actually faint if she skipped a meal.

After a silent half an hour wait, it was twelve o'clock, but Heinz still had no intention to go out for lunch.

Grace stole a glance at him several times.

Finally, he suddenly put out the cigarette and got up to leave. Without looking at her, he went straight outside.

The door slammed shut.

Grace was stunned.

What does this mean? She thought.

His attitude made her feel a little nervous and uncertain.

Grace did not dare go out. By two o'clock, she was so hungry that she was almost starving to death. Then, Heinz returned.

After he came in, he still had the same icy temperament, and he still didn't say anything to her.

This was not the main point. The point was that he did not bring any food for her.

Grace looked at him again and again, but she still didn't see the lunch she was expecting, and Lester had also disappeared.

Grace regretted so much. If she had known that he was so unpredictable, she would have brought biscuits with her, at least she would not be so miserable.

After Heinz came back, he continued smoking, his visage completely hidden behind the white fumes.

Helpless, Grace had no choice but to continue working on her project.

She typed on the computer, but her hunger made her unable to concentrate. In fact, she had not eaten when she left home in the morning and didn't sleep well all night.

The sudden shocking news about the holiday resort, and Jensen's involvement, had caused her mood to be severely impacted.

Now she was dizzy, and she was craving for sweets. Perhaps her blood sugar was getting too low.

Her mind was getting more and more out of focus and she felt even dizzier. She had no choice but to take a few gulps of water to ease her hunger.

However, it was far from enough. It made her even more hungry.

She put down the bottle and held on for two more hours.

What was shocking was that Heinz did not move at all in the past two hours. He just sat there and was completely lost in thought.

Lester didn't come in either. What's wrong today?

Grace couldn't hold on any longer. She leaned against the chair and looked up at Heinz.

His eyebrows were still furrowed furiously. He took a deep drag on his cigarette and spit out a cloud of smoke, covering his handsome face.

Grace pursed her lips.

Suddenly, he shouted, "Grace."

Grace was stunned. She looked up at him, and her eyes were full of doubts.

"Prepare your draft tomorrow. If you want to ask me any questions, I will answer them tomorrow. I will end this interview project in advance." His tone was very brisk, cold and mechanical.

Grace pursed her lips and nodded. "Okay."
