Timothy eagerly waited for Grace at the airport.
He finally saw Grace’s car slowly approaching half an hour later. He excitedly waved at her. Shortly after, the car came to a steady stop in front of him.
“Woohoo, you’re finally here, Milady!”
Seeing him all dusty and exhausted but still showing no sign of fatigue, Grace said, “Thank you so much for your hard work.”
He opened the car door and got in. Beaming, he replied, “It’s nothing. It’s my honor to serve you, Milady.”
Grace started the engine and asked, “Shall I take you home?”
“How about we grab a meal first? It’s a privilege to dine with you,” Timothy responded.
Grace raised an eyebrow and asked, “What would you like to eat?”
Timothy didn’t have any specific preferences.
“Milady, I’m not a picky person. As long as it’s filling, it’s good for me.”
Grace thought for a moment.
After that, Timothy took out an exquisite gift box from his bag and handed it to her. “Here you go, Milady, a gift for you.”
“What’s this?” Grace looked surprised.
Timothy looked excited. “You’ll know once you open it, but it’s best to wait till you get back.”
Grace was completely puzzled. She had no clue what Timothy had up his sleeve.
“So mysterious.”
“You bet,” Timothy responded with a proud look on his face.
Grace eventually chose a Kidhnian restaurant. After parking the car, the two of them stepped
out.
Timothy couldn’t stop talking, sharing funny stories from his time in Frenda as they walked together.
Grace couldn’t help but smile. “I didn’t expect you to have such a vibrant life outside of work.”
However, Timothy felt like Grace wasn’t entirely convinced. He hurriedly explained, “Milady, trust me. I’m committed to you, and there haven’t been any other distractions in my life since we met. My loyalty to you is as clear as day.”
Grace found it a bit unusual to see him so serious.
“Hmm, who is she dining with?” Celia asked as she looked at Timothy with suspicion. Her mind was racing, but she couldn’t recall any information about him.
“It looks like she’s the Lewis family’s heiress! ”
“Yes, that’s her! The heiress of the richest family! Pinch me; is this real?”
“I never thought I would actually get to see her in real life! I’m so lucky!”
Celia became annoyed when she heard the excitement in her friends‘ voices. “What’s gotten into all of you? You have such limited aspirations!” she remarked.
“Oh, you have no idea, Celia! Grace is our idol,” they responded.
“What did you say?” Celia asked in astonishment.
The rich young women were already in awe of Grace. After all, she was a woman who was single–handedly running a successful company, demonstrating her remarkable capabilities.
