When she arrived at Henderson Group, she overheard employees on the executive floor gossiping about her project. Someone made a snide comment, "Grace really does succeed at everything." "Well, there's nothing we can do. She's pretty, and beauty opens doors." She found that comment amusing, so she knocked on her ---- colleague's desk.
"Looks might get you noticed, but my connections and smarts seal the deal." 'The colleague hadn't expected such a bold comeback and blushed. 'The others kept their heads down, continuing their work without saying a word. Grace thought she'd scared them. But turning around, she spotted Ethan and several executives standing behind her. Her comment had been loud enough for everyone to hear.

After Ethan and his had team walked away, she caught his faint chuckle. Several executives even glanced back at her with curious looks.

Yancey hadn't been at the company for days, so she wondered who Alice was trying to impress Alice quickly pulled herself together, her eyes turning teary." Grace, if you're alive, why didn't you contact our family? Everyone's been worried sick. Dad's even been bedridden recently." She grew emotional until an executive behind her cut in, "Ms. Alice, we should get down to business." Only then did Alice dab away her tears.
