Grace felt that even if her underwear was gone, she would not be that embarrassed as Heinz said.
Heinz must be exaggerating.
No matter how stupid Grace was, she would protect her lower body while she was running away. How could she have exposed herself?
This was absolutely impossible.
"Mr. Jones, a person who lies will become Pinocchio."
"Pinocchio?" Heinz frowned. "Why is this name so familiar? I think I've heard it somewhere before?"
Grace resisted the urge to roll her eyes. How could he not know such a well-known story?
Heinz asked again, "So what?"
"Your nose will grow longer," Grace said grumpily, "Really long."
"What does it have to do with you?" Heinz said disapprovingly, "This is my business. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, does it?"
Grace was rendered speechless.
"Or do you care about me very much? Are you afraid that my nose will grow longer and no longer be handsome, which will affect some of your feelings towards me?" Heinz said meaningfully.
"It has nothing to do with me. I'm just a busybody," Grace argued in a hurry.
"People with long and straight noses are said to be very attractive in terms of their lower body. Have you heard of this anecdote?" Heinz's eyes were deeply looking at her knees and upper legs.
Grace looked into his deep eyes, which were burning with flames. She suddenly changed the topic. "No, I don't understand what you're talking about."
Grace subconsciously lowered her eyes and did not look at Heinz. She also pulled down the edge of the skirt, trying to cover her white legs, and did not want to show them to him.
However, Heinz's hand came over again and pressed on her hand that was on the edge of her skirt. "If you don't understand, why do you have to bow your head and do such a thing? What are you hiding?"
Grace raised her eyes in panic, looked into his deep eyes, and said quickly, "I am a woman. Of course, I need to protect myself."
"I've seen your butt. Why do you care about your thighs?" Heinz looked at Grace condescendingly.
"You-" Grace said coldly, "I’m sure that I didn't show it. "
"It was exposed." Heinz insisted.
"So what?" Grace was so angry, "What does it have to do with you?"
"Who told me to save your life just now?" Heinz asked in an overbearing tone, "Have you forgotten what you just said?"
Grace was really touched when Heinz first showed up and took off his suit for her. But now, this person was really annoying.
Even if Heinz had helped her, Grace hated him nonetheless.
But now Grace was not wearing anything underneath, so she didn't dare to make any rash moves. Who knew what Heinz was planning to do?
Grace turned her face away and didn't look at Heinz, but her heart was so restless.
Heinz looked at Grace slowly and said flatly, "You called for help just now, and I helped you. Now, you were saying that it's none of my business. I think you should not wear anything out now. That perverted man took off your underwear and now, I'll tear off your broken skirt. What do you think?"
Grace stared at him in a daze, feeling her body go cold.
Under the circumstances, Grace had to compromise again. "Mr. Jones, I haven't forgotten. I asked you to save me."
With that, Grace lowered her head.
Her head hung low and looked very pitiful.
Grace still recognized the reality and whispered, "I hope you don't take it personally."
Heinz snorted and said, "If I were to argue with you, you would have been treated even worse by me."
Grace was stunned and didn't know what to say.
After a long silence, Grace tried to say, "Mr. Jones, I’m getting late for work. I really have no time to waste."
"You don't have to go in today." Heinz said overbearingly, "I'll ask Lester to apply for leave on your behalf."
"How can you do that?" Grace retorted.
"Why can't I do that? Your office is a gathering place for troublemakers. Working in that place will only make you become one of them."
"I..." Grace found that she could not refute, because she agreed with him.
