Grace was shocked too. After a pause, she shook her head and said, "That's not what I meant. I'm just afraid."
"Jensen and I are here. What are you afraid of?” said Heinz as he held on to her shoulders. He wrapped her in his arms and promised, "Don't be afraid. I will help."
Grace looked at Heinz. Worry could still be seen in her eyes.
"I swear on my life," guaranteed Heinz as he lowered his head to look at her. He articulated each word, saying, "I will protect you sisters and my son."
Grace's eyes froze and her heart began to beat rapidly. Heinz words were full of power.
"I think Jensen would also be willing to risk his life," Heinz said in a deep voice. "A man would never allow his woman and children to be threatened. What's more, we are both outstanding and excellent in our respective fields of work."
Grace listened quietly. Looking at Heinz's serious expression, she knew that she had overreacted.
"Sorry, I'm just a little worried about meeting my sister," Grace apologized.
"I know," said Heinz, pinching her cheek. "You sisters are used to worrying too much about each other, and your sister has always been guarding against me for your sake. It's not easy for her to think of me
when she needs help, and to think of me as a useful person. You can't ruin her impression of me!"
Grace nodded and said, "Got it." "Well, give me a glass of water please," Heinz said. "I'll go to the room and make a phone call to arrange this."
"Please wait for a little while," she said. Then, she quickly boiled some water as the tea was cold.
Heinz looked at Grace and knew that he needed to arrange something for her, so that she wouldn't be so anxious.
Soon, Heinz entered the room and made a call to Lester, "Investigate Carl Witlock, the one who owned a nightclub in the northern part of the city."
Lester immediately accepted the order, saying, "Yes, I'll look into that right now."
"Investigate thoroughly, his company, factory, interpersonal relations, important economic support, and everything else," Heinz ordered in a deep voice. "If necessary, contact Jensen to see if we can combine the information, and make use of that data." "Yes, sir," Lester answered.
"You have 24 hours to investigate," said Heinz.
"I understand."
When Grace entered the room, she saw Heinz talking on the phone in an imposing manner.
She put the tea on the bedside table, and Heinz hung up the call.
Grace was about to turn around but Heinz hugged Grace from behind, his long arms wrapped around her waist.
Their position was a bit too ingenious, thought Grace.
She could feel the warmth of Heinz's chest.
"Do you want to drink the tea?" Grace tried her best to suppress her excitement, but Heinz kept arousing her, which made her heartbeat speed up in an instant. Nevertheless, Grace still forced herself to calm down and talked about other things.
Grace could feel the might of his strong body.
"I'll drink it later," said Heinz, holding Grace in his arms. He breathed in her fragrance.
The smell was faint. Nevertheless, it was very refreshing. Inhaling it, it sent a rush of adrenaline through his mind.
Grace took hold of herself in the kitchen. She thought that she should try to entrust the matter to Heinz. She believed that Heinz and Jensen would handle everything well.
She resisted her urge to call Alice. She was worried and planned to meet Alice the next morning to talk with her.
What touched her was that Heinz had been working on the matter as soon as he entered the house. It seemed that he was serious about it.
"Heinz, thank you," said Grace sincerely.
"Are you serious about that?" Heinz's voice was a little hoarse and his body was also tensed up.
"Of course," Grace nodded. "Thank you. Really."
"I was hoping for something a bit more substantial," Heinz said in a low voice.
"What do you mean?"
