Chapter 109
Grace arrived at the agreed-upon spot. As she opened the door and saw Antonio, anger welled up inside her.
Antowas quick to shut the door when she was about to leave.
Grace stepped back, creating sspace. “Why did you have Daisy invitehere?” she asked, her voice calm.
Antonio, sensing her readiness for a confrontation, felt a bit on edge.
He leaned back, feet on the desk, still with that sold arrogance. “What's the problem? We've known each
other for ten years. Can't we talk?”
“About what?” she asked, unimpressed.
Antoplayed with his wine glass, acting casual. “Let’s talk about how you hooked up with Devin behind my
back.”
His tone, expression, and attitude all left Grace feeling queasy.

She put down her bag, her voice resolute. “After | resigned, I've drawn a clear line with you, Mr. Kaufman. There's
nothing more to say.”
A clear line?
Antocouldn't help but sneer, “Do you think keeping quiet means I'm in the dark? A man like Devin, so by the
book, hasn't had much female company. You made the first move, and he was sure to fall for it. You've got some
tricks up your sleeve, charmed him into a wedding, and even fooled me. You've had your fun, right?”
His teasing tone made Grace's face go cold.
Chapter 10
She didn’t want to argue, so she played along, trying to figure out his
game.
“So what if | have or haven't had enough?”
Seeing her admit it, Antofelt confident. There was a flicker of triumph in his eyes.
“If you're done, cback. | won't hold it against you this time.
“If you're not done, my patience is running out. | don’t have tfor your games. If you want something, just say
it. As long as it’s not crazy, like being a lover or something, | can handle it.”
It seemed that he was doing her a favor, which made Grace laugh.
“Thanks for the offer, Mr. Kaufman, but I'm not coming back. You'll have to find someone else for whatever you
need. Goodbye.”
Grace turned to open the door, not wasting any time.
Antowas fuming. He couldn't stay seated. He jumped up, shattered his glass, and shouted, “Grace, don’t be
naive! Devin is just toying with you. A wedding? That's just a joke. You can’t really think he’ll marry you, can
you? When he’s done with you, don’t cbegging me. | won't be as patient as | am now!”
Grace turned, hesitated, and then told him the truth, “Mr. Kaufman, Devin and | got married a month ago. I've
told you this so many times. Why can’t you believe it? What happens in the future is none of your business.”

“Why did he agree to marry you?”
Hearing the desperation in his voice, Grace walked away, her words
echoing in the room. “Not everyone is like you, Mr. Kaufinan.”
The door shut with a bang.
Antostood there, stunned.
He figured their wedding was just for show, never dreaming they'd really
tied the knot.
His confidence, built over time, crumbled in an instant, replaced by confusion.
His head was spinning with confusion and questions. He couldn't just let her walk away and rushed to catch up.
Outside the door, no one was in sight.
His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly pressed the elevator button, rushing to catch up with her.
