"We have a lot of things to deal with now," Grace started. "First of all, Lorenzo's case is about to go to trial. How can the judge still not be clear about the results?"
"Don't worry. Lorenzo is set to be in jail. It will just be a matter of how long his sentence would be." Heinz replied. "That isn't something for us to worry about. The Legal Affairs Department will deal with it."
"Next, the two elders in the Lawson Family," Grace spoke again. "They're both still in the hospital."
Heinz furrowed his brows. "They will have someone to arrange for that too. Lester will prepare everything well. That isn't a problem either."
"My grandmother's ashes need to be buried," Grace said. "I want to buy a tomb for her."
Heinz nodded. "Of course, you don't have to worry about it. Your grandmother is also my grandmother. It's my job."
Grace was touched. She hadn't expected him to say that.
"Thank you, Heinz."
"I've already sent someone to choose the best place. It will be situated in a good spot."
"Thank you for being so thoughtful." Grace bit her lips. "Grandma treated me very well. I wasn't by her side when she passed away. Marry handled everything, so I didn't know about it. Now that I think about it, I hated myself for not coming back to see her."
"Grace, don't blame yourself."
"My grandmother lived an unhappy life," Grace said with a bitter smile. "Back then, she was chased away by my grandfather's mother. She lived a tough life taking care of my mom, but my grandmother was hardworking. The days got better eventually, and she finally bought that garden. That was my grandmother's life's work."
Heinz suddenly understood after hearing her words. "You also have your grandmother's good genes. That's why you could depend on yourself."
"I'm not as good as Grandma." Grace smiled.
At that moment, the phone suddenly rang.
She picked up the phone and glanced at the screen, only to find that it was from Hermione.
Just then, she recalled that she had yet to request her day off with Hermione.
"My chief editor is calling. Oh no, I didn't ask for leave."
"I've requested your leave," Heinz said. "That woman doesn't know who she's dealing with. I've applied for your leave, but she still dares to disturb you."
"You asked for leave?" Grace was astonished. "When?"
"At seven-thirty in the morning."
"Then this is something urgent." Grace quickly answered the call. "Hermione, I'm sorry I didn't go to work today."
"Grace, it's fine. It's okay." Hermione sounded apologetic. "I should be the one to apologize. Mr. Heinz had already requested your leave, but I'm not here to ask you about work. There's someone at Entertainment Daily who claimed to be your cousin. He insisted on meeting you."
"My cousin?" Grace was startled.
"Yes. His name is Zachary Lowe."
"Lowe?" Grace felt her heart skip a beat.
She wasn't exactly sure who Zachary was, but she did recall someone of the same surname. Grace's mother held the Lowe surname and the Lowe family was also a prestigious family in Southland City.
Why did Zachary, who claimed to be her cousin, come to Entertainment Daily to look for her?
"Yes, Grace," Hermione said. "He has the same surname as me, and he's quite handsome. Hehe, I was only nice enough to call you for him because of that. Otherwise, he would've gotten your phone number from me to call you directly."
"Did he say what he wanted to talk to me about?" Grace asked.
"He said it's about your grandmother's tomb," Hermione replied.
Grace was taken aback and thought, "What a coincidence! Grandma's ashes haven't been buried and Zachary already came looking for her."
She had to meet Zachary.
"Then I'll go," Grace said. "I'll be there later."
"That would be best," Hermione smiled. "I might have offended Mr. Heinz, so please put in a good word for me." "It's alright," Grace said. "Tell Zachary that I'll be there later. I'll arrive in forty minutes."
"Alright."
After hanging up the call, Grace looked at Heinz and saw that he was frowning at her.
