NovelEnglishChapter 192 Chapter 192 Grace felt surprised, wondering if she was just imagining the way Alice looked at Ethan. It was definitely not how a regular person would look at a business partner. When Alice noticed Grace enter, her expression soured. She wasn't too happy when she thought about how Grace worked here and could see Ethan daily. Meanwhile, Alice had to invent excuses about projects and contracts just to visit once-it was just unfair. A wicked thought crossed her mind.

'The idea made her tremble with excitement. Grace caught that flash of malice in her eyes and immediately went on guard. But Alice put on a sweet smile. "Grace, Henderson Group has such a nice work environment.
I'm so jealous." Grace walked up to Ethan's desk and grabbed his coffee cup, totally ignoring Alice's attempt at pleasantness. "Your perfis suffocating. Mr. Henderson can't stand women who wear such strong scents." Right on cue, Ethan coughed twice as if he was actually bothered by the smell. Alice had cwith every intention of seducing Ethan, and being so blatantly dismissed felt like a knife through her heart. Grace leaned down slightly. "Mr. Henderson, letget you fresh coffee.
This one's cold." ---- Alice's eyes lit up when she spotted the marks on Grace's neck. Grace wore a turtleneck today, but the collar was loose. With the slightest movement, the red marks underneath becvisible. "Grace! Do you have a boyfriend? When are you bringing him to meet the family? Dad would be thrilled. Mom's been worried you'd never find someone." Grace instinctively touched her collar, looking uncomfortable.
Upon seeing this reaction, Alice's eyes were filled with contempt Maybe it wasn't a boyfriend -was Grace just someone's hookup? And here Alice thought Grace was so proper and decent. It seemed like she had been fooling around behind everyone's backs. Hah! She was nothing but a slut. What good was her pretty face? Ethan would never want someone who slept around so casually! The thought gave her confidence. "When you were following Yancey around before, nobody dared pursue you.

Alice felt like the room went dark for a moment, and her face burned with anger. "Grace!" How dare she make her look like a fool in front of Ethan? But Grace had already left with the coffee cup. Usually, when making coffee for Ethan, she would select premium beans and grind them herself.
But with Alice here, who was obviously up to no good, Grace grabbed the instant coffee the staff used. She prepared it in less than a minute and brought it back. Ethan hadn't expected her back so quickly. He tooka sip and ---- immediately frowned. Grace grabbed stissues and began wiping the marble desk, making it clear she wasn't going anywhere. Alice stood rigid with anger. "Grace, Mr. Henderson and I have important matters to discuss.
Could you please step out?" Ethan had only given her ten minutes to fix the contract, and twas almost up. Grace smiled at her while ve continuing to scrub the desk enthusiastically. "Sorry, but I m promised Mr. Henderson I wouldn't leave his side. Besides, there's nothing I can't hear. I'm his right- hand woman now." Ethan looked up at her when he heard this.
