Chapter 184


    Grace could only grasp at thisst straw and call him.


    The ringing tone kept on ying as she waited for the other side to answer, but no one did.


    Grace was unwilling to give up and called him again a second time, and a third...


    Meanwhile, several senior executives were in Mr. Reed''s office at that moment. They were quiet and


    their eyes were fixed on a cheap, old cell phone.


    All the high-level managers in thepany knew that Jason had been carrying two phones with him


    recently. One was the cell phone he usually used, and the other one was this cheap, old-fashioned


    phone.


    As for the origin of this phone, except for Jason, only Terrence knew about it. However, every time they


    asked him about it out of curiosity, Terrence would smile and refuse to say anything.


    As a result, these high-level executives had done a lot of spection about this phone in private. In the


    past, when the phone rang, Mr. Reed had always picked it up without dy. The wolves among those


    execs, they were especially nosy.


    Today, however, the phone had been ringing for a very long time. Unexpectedly, Mr. Reed simply


    stared at the phone and did not pick it up. His handsome face was covered in ayer of frost.


    The hearts of these executives couldn''t suppress their curiosity as they looked at Terrence.


    Meanwhile, Terrence, who was standing beside Jason, also looked at the phone that had been ringing,


    and he was secretly worried in his heart.


    Only Grace would make a call to this phone.


    However, since the day she had rejected Jason, Terrence, who had been working for his Alpha for


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    many years, had never seen Jason as angry or dejected as he’d been ofte.


    At that moment, Grace was calling, but Mr. Reed was not picking up. What did this mean? Had Alpha


    Reed stopped caring for her?


    No, Terrence thought that Jason cared about Grace even more than he had originally imagined.


    If he had really stopped caring, he could have thrown the phone away. But even now, Jason had been


    bringing the phone with him. Did it mean that Jason couldn''t let Grace go?


    This was truly unexpected.


    However, who would have thought that a man like Alpha Jason Reed would actually take a fancy to


    Grace? A woman who, given all her baggage and shorings, wasn’t even a wolf.


    She was a convict and a human, poor and rogue.


    Yet, she had rejected him.


    Finally, after fifteen minutes, the phone stopped ringing.


    Jason then looked upzily and said to the executives in front of him, "Okay, you can continue with


    your report."


    A few of the executives shivered and then quickly continued their presentation.


    Grace gritted her teeth as she stared at the phone in her hand. She had called nine times, but no one


    had answered. Had Jason... already cancelled the number?


    Then no matter how many times she called, no one would ever answer it.


    "Grace, what''s wrong with you? You''ve been on the phone all this time, and you didn''t eat either. The


    food is getting cold," ire urged.


    "ire, I... I have something to do. I want to leave at 3 p.m. I''ll clean up all the trash on the road first,


    but you may have to be a little busier than usual after I leave. Is that okay?" Grace asked.


    People like them who swept the road needed to coordinate with each other if they wanted to ask for


    leave. They needed to find someone who was willing to take their job, otherwise, they couldn''t excuse


    themselves.


    "Why would I be not okay? When I asked for leavest time, you helped me do the work," ire


    answered straightforwardly. “You’ve always helped me.”


    Grace smiled gratefully. However, her heart was still heavy.
