Chapter 1495


    Grace couldn''t help but think about what Charlie had said earlier. Those words were probably what


    he had kept in his heart.

    She had never been such a torn woman. But in this case, she couldn’t make her decision easily.

    In the morning, Grace woke up first.


    After washing up, she went downstairs and bought breakfast. When she returned, Charlie was just


    waking up.


    "Let''s have breakfast," Grace said.


    "Go ahead yourself. I’m not hungry."


    Charlie looked aloof. Meanwhile, he got up


    and walked to the bathroom.


    Grace put breakfast on the table. Her arms crossed around her chest, she blocked his way at the


    bathroom door, "We need to talk!


    "It''s 7:40.1 have a meeting at 8:20.1 need to hurry to the office."


    Charlie lifted his wrist and looked at the time.


    "Forget it." Grace returned to the table. She was angry. She didn''t have breakfast either but threw it


    straight into the trash.


    Charlie saw it all. His eyes twinkled, and he gazed at her back. But Grace didn''t turn around. She


    walked out of the apartment.


    After checking on Mckenzie in the hospital, Grace left the ward soon. She was afraid that if she


    stayed any longer, she might do something terrible on impulse. Although Grace didn''t want to take


    care of the restaurant and she didn’t have the time, she couldn''t get rid of her responsibilities. She


    prepared the ingredients, delivered them to the branch store, and checked the restaurant''s ount.


    After finishing all this, she called Summer.


    When Summer saw Grace at first nce, Summer was surprised, "Why are you so haggard?"


    Grace looked indeed haggard.


    Although her face was as pretty as ever, there was no liveliness or radiance on it. She looked dull.


    "Howe I not be haggard? I''ve got a lot on my te."


    Grace raised her hand and propped it against her forehead. She told Summer all


    about Charlie''s drunken remark.


    "Maybe he meant what he said, or maybe it was just meaningless words after getting drunk. Only


    he knows what he meant."


    Summer replied, "Either way, the truth is you two drifted apart because of the incident Mckenzie


    passed out."


    Grace nodded her head, "I know. I was at fault. I don’t deny that."


    "Now that you admit you were at fault, it''s easy. Talk to Charlie! You guys can’t go on like this


    forever. Besides, it was not all your fault; Mckenzie was wrong too."


    Grace was listening to Summer in silence. Her hand asionally trembled slightly as she held her


    ss of water. Shepressed her lips and didn''t say another word.


    On the other side, Charlie arrived at the


    office. Just as he sat down in his office, his secretary walked in. The secretary came to hand in her


    resignation.


    Charlie frowned. He was surprised. The secretary smiled, "I''m more than two months pregnant. I


    have to rest"


    Charlie trusted the secretary and always spoke highly of her work. "You can''t quit, but you can take


    a leave."


    "OK. No problem, Mr. Morgan. Since you have said so, how would I have a problem with that?" The


    secretary said, "But you''ll need a new secretary for the duration of my leave."


    Charlie agreed.


    After thinking about it, the secretary said," We hired three interns yesterday, but there are only two


    open positions. How about letting one of them try out for the position? Charlie agreed. The


    secretary asked again," Mr. Morgan, which one do you prefer?" "Pass me their files," Charlie


    demanded.
