    Chapter 7


    Fiancée?


    Her marriage to Benjamin had been kept secret from the public. Hence, everyone in thepany


    only thought that she was his secretary.


    In that case, it seemed that the “fiancée” Jason mentioned was Yvonne.


    Grace had just divorced Benjamin, and now Yvonne was already here at Hawkins Group.


    Not only that, but Yvonne would also stay at Hawkins Manor and sleep in her bed, enjoying


    Benjamin’spany.


    Grace’s heart stung just thinking about it.


    Nevertheless, she still thanked Jason for telling her and left the HR department.


    Jason stared at her receding figure intently.

    He thought even a fool could tell that Grace had feelings for Mr. Hawkins. No wonder she had been


    dismissed.


    As he turned on hisputer, he sarcastically remarked to himself, “It looks like a good show is


    coming up soon.”


    When Grace stepped out of the elevator on the top floor, she bumped into Larry.


    “Ms. Lewis, you’re here.” Larry cast a look at the luggage in her hand. He guessed that she was


    here for her identification card.


    He pointed in the direction of the conference room and said, “I’ve handed your identification card to


    Mr. Hawkins.


    “He’s in his third meeting of the day. Are you in a hurry? Do you need me to call him out for you?”


    “It’s okay. I’ll wait for him here.” Grace sounded aloof.


    “Sure. How about some coffee?”


    Larry knew Benjamin had no intention of letting Grace resign.


    Grace had a lot on her te, not to mention important projects. If she were to resign, it would be


    difficult to immediately find someone to take over her role.


    “It’s Tursmain hand-brewed coffee. I’ve just learned how to make it,” Larry added. His attitude


    toward her was evidently more gentle than before.


    “Thanks, but no, thanks.” Since Grace was nning to sever ties with Benjamin, she didn’t want to


    be nice to anyone around him.


    After that, Larry didn’t say anything else. He entered the conference room to give the documents to


    Benjamin.


    Grace walked past the office area and spared a nce at the conference room.


    The door was opened a crack. As expected, a lot of people were sitting around the meeting table.


    Benjamin’s back was facing her. He was listening to the reports from the people on either side of


    him. His expression was cold, and she saw him saying something from time to time.


    He was always focused during meetings.


    Grace withdrew her gaze. She looked down at her soaked clothes and the luggage in her hand.


    As much as she wanted to barge in, she knew it was inappropriate for her to do so.


    Then, she flitted her eyes to the president’s office. Although the ss was frosted, she could still


    see the woman sitting on the chair.


    It seemed like that was Yvonne, whom Grace had seen at the hospital.


    Grace would only feel more awkward and bad if she went there now.


    Hence, she put her luggage aside and went to the restroom instead. She turned on the tap and


    washed her face with cold water.


    As she tried to calm herself down, she also wondered how to ask Benjamin for her identification


    cardter.


    “Ms. Lewis, you’rete today,” said an intern who came over to wash her hands.


    Grace hummed in acknowledgment and didn’t say anything more. When the intern left, she pulled


    out a tissue and wiped her face.


    She stared at her reflection in the mirror, remembering her brother saying how thin she had be


    when she had visited Darai thest time.


    She had tried to make light of it by iming that she was on a diet.


    It seemed like the marriage had indeed caused her a lot of suffering.


    Ending it was a good choice.


    All of a sudden, the restroom door was pushed open again.


    A slender and fair woman entered, radiating an air of grace and nobility. Her belly was slightly


    curved.


    Grace inexplicably felt insecure at the sight of Yvonne. She immediately wiped her face dry and


    regained herposure. Then, she turned to leave.


    “Hey,” Yvonne suddenly said.


    “I heard someone calling you Ms. Lewis earlier. You must be Benjamin’s secretary, right?”


    Grace froze. The footsteps behind her were getting closer and closer.


    Yvonne walked in front of her and shot her a gentle smile. “Benjamin’s meeting should be ending


    soon.


    “Can you help me brew a cup of coffee and send it to his office? You should know what vor he


    likes, right?”
