True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) novel Chapter 79

Grace Smith was shocked. She never expected that Hermione Lowe could regain her composure in such a short time, and she was already prepared to start work. She was really a powerful woman!

"Yes, I was pursuing that degree." Grace didn't hide the truth. "But I was unable to graduate due to some personal reasons."

She thought that Hermione Lowe would mind her lack of a degree, which was the greatest pain for her.

But Hermione immediately said, "It's not the point -you not having graduated. When I looked at your resume, I know that you have done a lot of work."

"They were all part-time jobs." Grace Smith said, "For the past five years, I've done dozens of parttimejobs." She explained.

Hermione Lowe, on the other hand, was taken aback. "Those were not written on the resume."

"Yes," Grace agreed. "Those part-time jobs were not worth mentioning, and they were not great either.

Some of them did not require much technical skills." She continued.

Thinking of the past, she bitterly raised the corner of her mouth, but then her eyes were at peace.

"Do you still want to go back to study?" Hermione asked.

Grace Smith looked at her in surprise, she then smiled and shook her head.

"You're hesitating. You actually want to." Hermione pointed out.

Grace was embarrassed again. "It seems that I can't hide anything from you. Yes, I want to, but I can't." She answered bitterly.

"Why?" Hermione asked.

"Because of my current circumstances," Grace said. "I might continue studying when the time is right, but not now."

"Do you still want to resign now that I'm here?" Hermione asked.

Grace Smith didn't expect Hermione Lowe to change the subject so quickly. She then smiled and said, "To be honest, I still want to leave."

"What would be the reason?" Hermione Lowe asked.

Grace Smith smiled but didn't have the nerves to say it. In fact, she felt that Entertainment Daily was not a positive place to work at. What kind of future was there in spreading gossip about others all day long?

She thought that the news should be positive and motivating, even if it was entertainment news, it should also bring good to the people.

However, this was obviously not the case here.

"Let me decipher the reason then." Hermione Lowe smiled and said, "First of all, Lorenzo Chen harassed you but he didn't succeed. He then got angry out of embarrassment and gave you more trouble at work."

Grace Smith's eyes widened in surprise as she was touched by Madam Lowe's trust.

"Secondly," Hermione paused for a moment before continuing, "It must have something to do with the working environment at Entertainment Daily. You don't like this place."

Grace Smith looked at her in a daze. Hermione Lowe was indeed, very observant!

"In other words, you think that the ethics here are too low." Hermione stared at Grace as she spoke. "Grace, these are the reasons, am I right?"

"I have to admit that you are very observant, Madam Lowe. Indeed, the main reason is that I am retaliating because of the harassment, and the other reason is that I'm not used to this kind of workplace." Grace admitted.

"Low-quality entertainment news, lack of ambition, and the ability to be a role model to the public. Those sensual articles could only be topics of conversation during leisure time and meals, but there's no power in bringing spiritual comfort to the people." Hermione Lowe said.

"Entertainment Daily had already gone off tangent from its original objectives."

"Over the years, I have realized this, but I didn't make up my mind to clean up the mess." She continued.

"Now, after a painful lesson, I plan to re-enter the workplace and rekindle my initial objectives."

Hermione Lowe said those words calmly, and in a serious tone. Looking at Grace, sincerity was clear in her eyes. "I really want to continue my dream of building the reputation of Entertainment Daily. As we are going along with the interests of the public, we can also become a source of motivation to the public, instead of going after the trend in exposing gossip and violating personal privacy. We should only spread positive energy."

"I now invite you to assist me, are you willing to come with me?" Hermione Lowe asked.

It was hard for people to face and admit their shortcomings, but Hermione Lowe not only admitted them calmly, but also took actions to correct them.

Grace Smith had never met such a woman like Hermione Lowe.

After a moment of hesitation, Grace then asked, "Will Director Chen still be here anymore?"

"Huh—" Hermione Lowe chucked. This time, it was a hearty laugh. "Him? No, he won't. He has been locked up at home and won't be allowed to go out. He won't dare to come out again.

"Okay, I'm willing to stay then." Grace immediately agreed.
