Grace composed herself, took her phone out, and called Aaron, who had just gotten back to Darai.
This was strange. Why would Timothy give up his cushy job as Donegan Enterprises‘ president in Darai and apply to work at her branch office in Pamore?
There was obviously something fishy, so it was best if she asked Aaron about this.
When Aaron picked up, he said in a mature but fond tone, “Yes, Grace?”
Grace glanced at the director, who was standing awkwardly at the side.
Then, she whispered into the phone, “Aaron, Timothy’s in Pamore, and he just applied to work here. Did the Donegans go bankrupt?”
Aaron laughed. Grace had always hated Timothy, to the point that she was merciless when insulting him.
“No, Mr. Donegan Senior sent him back. I didn’t know about his application, though.”
“Got it. I’ll have him fired immediately.”
“Calm down, Grace.” Aaron advised.
“We both know how good Timothy is. He’s a genius when it comes to investments.
“If he works for our investment department, your performance would surely impress the shareholders this year.”
Grace’s tone softened when she realized that, making her voice sound like a sister acting cute with her brother. “What if he mentions the engagement?”
“You’ve never revealed your identity to the public, so he doesn’t know you’re the one he’s engaged to. How would he know unless you mention it?”
Aaron sensed that Grace was wavering, so he added, “The Pamore branch needs people like him the most right now. How could you refuse such a talent over a grudge?”
He had successfully convinced Grace. Right now, her job was to improve the Pamore branch’s performance, and appreciating good talent was a sign of a good leader.
After reluctantly ending the call, Grace cleared her throat and turned to the director, who was still waiting. “Um… get Timothy to stay.”
The director smiled widely upon hearing that. He flattered her for a while, like Cameron had
done, and left.

The next morning, Grace had just arrived at the ground floor of the company when she heard people gossiping,
“He’s so handsome!”
“So he’s the one who’s been sending flowers!”
When Grace turned in the direction they were looking, she saw Timothy in a tailor–made suit. He was holding a huge bouquet of roses and smiling flirtatiously at her.
She scoffed. So Timothy was the fool who had been sending flowers. She shouldn’t have suspected Caleb.
So he tossed Timothy’s bouquet in the trash and quickly dragged him into the emergency

That finally appeased Grace, and she walked into the elevator.
However, much to Grace’s confusion, everyone else in the elevator rushed to take the stairs
too.
What was wrong with these people?
Meanwhile, everyone else was still recovering from the shock. They were scared of even
breathing too loudly in her presence.
Grace usually came to work with a smile. They had never seen her yell at someone so sternly
before.
Why was she this mad about getting flowers so early in the morning?
