take a break.”

Caleb.

“Gracie, why did you take so long to answer the phone?”

Caleb?”
“I’ve been thinking about you all along! I know that you’ve been busy, so I didn’t want to disturb you.”

Instantly, Grace’s curiosity was piqued. “What are you sending for me?”
Caleb kept her guessing. “You’ll find out soon.”

something, she caught sight of Benjamin walking toward her from a distance.
“Caleb, something came up. I’ll talk to you later.” With that, she ended the call.

“I didn’t know you had such great talent in fashion design. How much do I not know about you, Grace?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBenjamin’s words were filled with astonishment.
He had just passed by backstage. When he saw the outfits on the models, a hint of amazement flashed
in his eyes.
He had thought that Grace was exceptionally capable and good at handling almost anything work–
related.
But now he realized that she not only had an extraordinary business mindset but also had such
expertise in fashion design.
Grace responded with a wry smile, “There are many things you don’t know, Mr. Hawkins. It’s not too
late to find out now.”
As Benjamin lowered his gaze, he said in a self–deprecating tone, “It seems I really haven’t taken the
time to get to know you before.”
His
response rendered Grace speechless. She didn’t want to continue this topic with him.
“That doesn’t matter much now. Since you’re here to watch the show today, please go to the audience
seats. You shouldn’t be backstage.” She straightforwardly told him to leave. However, Benjamin wasn’t
offended. “I just came to see you.” His words sounded ambiguous.
