Everyone happily gathered around the table to eat. Only Brian sat silently at the side and watched them


    coldly.


    Since Brian did not join the group, Ava dared not go over to join them to eat. Even if she was drooling


    from looking at the food, she could only watch regrettably from the side.


    Justin looked at Brian and put on a fake smile. “Mr. Francis, aren’t youing over to join us?”


    Before Brian could speak. Justin said, “Oh, I’m sorry. You must be having lunch with Miss Adkins next


    to you. Sorry for disturbing the two of you.”


    Brian’s face turned dark as he said, “Dr. Vance, please refrain from ndering me. I have a fiancée, but


    she’s studying abroad now. Miss Adkins is my personal secretary. Dr. Vance, please be careful with


    your words in the future.”


    Brian’s words made Ava’s face turn pale.


    She did not dare to look Grace in the eyes. Two days ago, she had unted in front of Grace that she


    was now Brian’s girlfriend. In the end, Brian had personally rified their rtionship today.


    However, with so many people present, Ava could only endure her embarrassment and stand there


    with a smile.


    as exposing


    Grace was busy eating. She did not even look at Brian. To her, his exnation sounded more like he


    was himself.


    Justin smiled brightly. “Really? I’m sorry, then. It seems that I’ve misunderstood. Mr. Francis, if you


    don’t mind. would you like toe and join us?”

    Brian snorted. Tm afraid I won’t be able to enjoy Dr. Vance’s loving meal.”


    With that, he stood up and strode away.


    Justin had a two–day break, and he spent both days apanying Grace on set.


    The more Brian saw how close Justin and Grace were, the more unhappy he felt. The filming time at


    night felt longer and longer.


    On the day Justin was about to leave, Nancy came.


    Nancy was wearing a slim–fitting dress and a sunhat. When she saw Grace, she ran over and hugged


    her, not forgetting to avoid pressing against her stomach carefully.


    Grace introduced Justin to Nancy. Nancy sized up Justin while drinking coffee. Then, she turned to


    nce at Brian.


    The atmosphere was awkward.

    Nancy’s eyes twinkled as if she was scheming something. She looked at Grace and said loudly, “Dr.


    Vance is reallypatible with you.”


    Grace hurriedly covered Nancy’s mouth. “What nonsense are you talking about?”


    Justin enjoyed Nancy’spliment very much. He looked at Grace and smiled gently. He looked as


    though he had stepped out a beautiful painting.


    In the afternoon, Justin set off for Capern City


    Before he left, he told Nancy, “I’ll leave Grace to you.”


    Nancy raised her eyebrows at him. “Don’t worry. With me around, no one will bully Grace”


    Brian stared nkly at the document on hisputer screen and did not manage to read a single


    word. He then stood up and left in frustration.


    At night, it was still a day of overtime filming. Nancy was worried for Grace. “How are you holding up?


    It’s already 11 pm. By the time you return to the hotel and shower, it’ll be 1a.m.


    Grace shook her head andforted Nancy, saying, “I’m fine.”


    After Grace returned to the hotel and took a shower, she turned on her tablet to draw. It was already


    two in the morning when she uploaded her work. She yawned and fell asleep on the table.


    The next day. Grace was sleep–deprived and went to the set with dark circles under her eyes.


    Brian didn’te to the set, and Ava wasn’t there either.
