Carson raised an eyebrow at her. "Am I the kind of person who takes advantage of others'' vulnerabilities?"
Grace was on the verge of saying something but then stopped, suddenly realizing that the boy in front of her had gradually shed his youthfulness and was now a man.
Grace pondered for a moment, unsure of what to say.
"Just go to work, or you''ll bete and Louise might startining about you to Brian again. I''m going to take a shower," he suggested.

Recently, Grace had been getting more ustomed to her job. Since Erin was reprimanded by Brian, she had stopped targeting her.
However, her colleagues in the office, due to Louise''s influence, continued to exclude Grace.
But Grace didn''t care about that. She didn''t need such friends in thepany.
The Francis Group had been established for 50 years, and May 1st marked thepany''s 50th anniversary.
In preparation for the celebration, many departments within thepany were working overtime.
The Development Department was no exception. When Erin received the notice and was about to inform everyone about the overtime, Louise said to Erin, "Why not give the new employee a chance to shine in such a great opportunity?"
Erin was taken aback for a moment, and Louise continued, "Grace was brought in without even going through the formal recruitment process, so her abilities must be quite impressive. Don''t you think, Erin?”
Grace knew Louise was deliberately making things difficult for her because of the previous chocte incident.
Before Erin could speak, Grace preemptively said, "Erin, if you are willing to give me this opportunity, I will certainly not disappoint Mrs. Francis."
Her words slightly surprised Louise, who wondered what Grace was up to.
Has she truly understood the situation andpletely submitted to me?'' Louise wondered.
In the afternoon, when everyone else had left the office, Grace was the only one still there working overtime. She was so busy that it was past eight in the evening, the sky outside was dark, and her stomach was growling from hunger. She had forgotten to order takeout and decided to quickly grab something outside.
At this hour, everyone in thepany had already left for the day. After eating, she returned to the office to continue working.
Downstairs, Brian''s car was parked by the roadside. He took the elevator upstairs to retrieve a document. As he approached the elevator, he nced over and noticed the employee elevator was stopped on the twelfth floor.Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
The twelfth floor was the Development Department.
Because he often went to pick up Louise, he was aware of that.
He nced at his watch and noticed it was already ten o''clock. Could there really be someone still working overtime at this hour?
After stepping into the elevator, he pressed the button for the twelfth floor.

Sure enough, the lights in the Development Department were still on. As he approached the door, he spotted a fluffy head of hair, intently staring at theputer, deeply engrossed in work.
It was Grace. Even from just a view of her head, he could recognize her at a nce.
He made no sound, and it seemed Grace hadn''t noticed him yet. He tiptoed up to her.

Her gaze was fixed on theputer screen, one hand holding the mouse, the other tugging at her hair, with a few strands of pulled-out hair wrapped around her fingertips.
Brian frowned and spoke up to disturb her, "Are you working overtime alone?"
Grace was startled and gasped, clutching her chest. "What are you doing here?"
"The entire building is mine. Why wouldn''t I be here?" he said.
Graceposed herself and responded with a nk expression "It''s thepany''s anniversary celebration. Erin asked me to create the lottery program for the event." Brian''s eyebrows knitted together. "She asked you to do it alone?
Grace absentmindedly acknowledged with a murmur.
