Chapter 607 – Grace’s Speechlessness
*****( Bonus Chapter )A chorus of nods followed the balding man’s words, and dozens of elites murmured in agreement with him, their eyes blazing with shared grievance.But still, Grace said nothing.No rebuttal. No denial. Not even a twitch in her brow, as though she couldn’t hear the insults and condescension, and accusation.And this… it made some amongst the crowd even more furious.But not all.In one quiet corner of the room, six individuals sat in luxurious silence. Unlike the rest, they hadn’t joined in the noisy uproar. They didn’t scream. They didn’t stomp. They didn’t clap mockingly or shout demands.They merely watched.Ava. Theodore. Harlan. Yan. Bianca. And the handsome Lucas.Six giants of the elite world. Their presence here had already sent shockwaves through the industry. For them to personally come for a company partnership? Unheard of. Beneath their status.And yet, they were here.They hadn’t spoken a word yet, but each of them… especially Lucas had b
Chapter 606 – The Commotion in the Lobby II
*****Grace hadn’t raised her voice when she spoke just now.She didn’t need to. Her presence alone, draped in quiet power and authority, was enough to silence the madness in one breath.One second passed. Then another.And, finally… like vultures spotting a wounded deer, the angry mob turned their accusations toward her.“So, this is the kind of leader you are after all!” a well-dressed, middle-aged man sneered, stepping forward with arrogant indignation. His Rolex flashed beneath his blazer sleeve as he pointed an accusatory finger at Grace. “All this time, you’ve pretended to be fair, claiming you don’t accept gifts or bribes. And yet, here you are… showing blatant favoritism!”“So, it was all a façade,” another chimed in bitterly. “Just like every other hypocrite who rises to power… your neutrality was only an illusion.”“You’ve lost our trust, Grace Sky,” a woman said sharply. “And that will cost your company everything.”Dozens of fingers pointed. Dozens of voices piled
Chapter 605 – The Commotion in the Lobby
*****Not a single word.Not a single eye contact.Yet the silence between Grace and Xavier wasn’t void… it thrummed with a magnetic tension, like two live wires humming too close to each other.Unspoken thoughts lingered in the air, rich with meanings neither dared to unravel just yet.Then came the elevator’s ding, a crisp chime that pierced the atmosphere like a bell ending a long, anxious dream.Finally, the door glided open.In the next second, however, it was as though the two were stepping into the middle of a riot. A wave of sound hit them like a brick wall.“Favoritism! Nepotism! This is outrageous!”“Do you take us all for fools?!”“You’d better come up with a better explanation for the outright bias you just displayed, or we’ll ensure that this company faces the consequences!”“You’ll pay dearly for this insult to our integrity!”“What errant nonsense!”The words slammed into the couple like a wall of heat and fury. Grace and Xavier both instinctively flinched,
Chapter 604 – The Employees’ Envy
*****Outside the office...Xavier stood rooted in place, staring dazedly at the office door that had just been shut in his face. The smooth surface mocked him with its silence, and for a brief moment, he felt like he was someone who had just been abandoned by his tour guide in a foreign land.“This…” he muttered, baffled. “What was that about?”His brows furrowed as he tried to process what had just happened. One moment, she had been all flustered, and the next… bam! Door in his face.Xavier rubbed the back of his neck, still confused.But before he could indulge further in speculation, the door clicked again… and then swung open.Grace stepped out.And… Xavier froze.The woman before him looked nothing like the Grace from moments ago.Gone were the visible signs of fatigue… the pallor, the tired eyes, the unkempt strands of hair. In their place was a radiant, composed goddess.Her makeup was subtle but flawless, her hair brushed neatly to one side, and her skin seemed to
Chapter 603 – Was I… Under a Spell Just Now?
*****Grace instantly raised a hand upon hearing Xavier, as if warding him off. “I can’t afford to leave the company right now. Maybe later… after work hours.”Xavier wasn’t fazed. He had already expected the workaholic Grace to reject his suggestion.He stepped forward and pointed directly at Dorothy. “If you won’t think of yourself, then at least consider your poor secretary. She looks like she might pass out any minute from now.”“Eh?!” Dorothy squeaked, caught completely off guard.She turned to Grace, flustered. “Boss, don’t listen to him. I’m perfectly fine! See? Strong as steel!”But Grace had already taken a closer look, and what she saw made her chest tighten with guilt. Dorothy’s eyes were rimmed with fatigue, her skin paler than usual, and her posture sluggish.She hadn’t even noticed. Not until now.Grace frowned, letting out a slow sigh.“Even I might faint if I keep going without eating,” she admitted quietly, rubbing her temple.Then she turned to Xavier and g
Chapter 602 – The Misunderstanding Settled
*****Grace hadn’t meant to say the words she just did aloud, no. It had just slipped… an involuntary confession, as if her heart had spoken before her brain could silence it.The way Xavier tilted his head slightly, his confusion giving him an almost adorable quality, made her heart squeeze.And she hated it.She shook her head hard, trying to bury that sudden impulse to pinch his cheeks.“Before you left the day before yesterday,” she said cautiously, her voice more composed now.Xavier blinked again, murmuring under his breath, “Before I left the day before yesterday?”Then realization dawned in his eyes.“Oh… You mean when you suddenly froze me out for no reason and suddenly treated me like a stranger, emotionlessly and expressionlessly rejecting my offer to help?” he asked with a slow nod of understanding.Grace’s mouth opened to respond, but before she could speak…“Wasn’t that you getting mad at me for no reason?” Xavier inqui
