Luke placed the contract in front of Grace. “Take a look for yourself.“,
Grace hadn’t expected that Nexa Group would be so sincere,
“Well, in that case, we’ll agree to this collaboration for now. But we’ll need to finalize the contract after our next meeting with them.”
“Yes, Ms. Lewis.”
With this matter settled, Grace’s mood instantly improved. She became energized and was
more focused on her work.
Since she was fully immersed in her work, she didn’t notice that a figure had quietly entered
her office.
Upon seeing Grace so engrossed, Emily had a look of disbelief in her eyes. She hadn’t expected Grace to be so deeply absorbed in her work.
After walking up to the desk, she tapped on it a few times. However, Grace didn’t look up and simply said, “Yes, Luke. Could you make me a cup of coffee?”
Emily was left speechless.
Only when Grace noticed there was no response did she raise her head. At once, her eyes were filled with surprise. “Emily? Why are you here?”
Emily sighed helplessly. “Who did you think it was?”
Grace quickly put down the documents in her hand and got up, grabbing Emily’s arm.
“Why didn’t you give me a heads–up if you were coming? I thought you were Luke.”
“I called you, but you didn’t answer.” Emily shrugged.
At her words, Grace quickly picked up her phone and noticed that she had several missed calls. “I’m so sorry! My phone was on silent.”
Emily had no choice but to drop the matter. “Never mind. You workaholic! You just forget everything once you’re working. You haven’t even come to the store to help me.”
