Once out of the elevator, Brian firmly guided her into


    his car.


    Grace''s phone rang. It was Carson calling to ask when she would be back.


    Before she could say a word, Brian snatched the phone away. "She''s still working overtime," he said, then promptly hung up and ced the phone on his side.


    Grace looked at him speechlessly. "Mr. Francis, even if you want to reward me, you should at least ask for my opinion, shouldn''t you?"


    Brian responded with a bit of a rogue''s tone. "Do you really want to leave the Francis Group?"


    Threat! Another threat! Brian is best at making threats! Grace wondered.


    The car soon stopped in front of a high-end wellness center.


    epting the situation, Grace stopped resisting.


    The therapist was a beautiful woman in her thirties who recognized Brian. It could tell he was a regr.


    The beauty smiled at him and then nced at Grace, politely inquiring, "Mr. Francis, are there two of you?"


    "Yes," Brian nodded.


    Brian used toe here with some executives to discuss business while getting shampoo. It was the first time he had brought a young woman, and they seemed quite a match, leading the therapist to naturally assume they were a couple. While performing the scalp treatment on Grace, the therapist asked about her hair loss condition. Upon hearing that it was postpartum hair loss, the beauty looked at her in surprise.


    Then she smiled. "I didn''t realize that Mr. Francis already has a child!"


    Grace awkwardly replied, "Well, we''re not husband and wife."


    After she said this, she subconsciously turned to look at Brian, who was lying there with his eyes lightly closed, his expression unreadable.


    The therapist was even more embarrassed and quickly apologized for her assumption.


    The therapist''s technique was excellent, and Grace''s entire scalp was rxed, causing her to fall asleep unawares.


    When she woke up again, she and Brian were the only ones in the room. She was lying on the bed, while Brian was sitting in a chair. Grace suddenly sat up. "What time is it?"


    "It''s midnight," Brian said indifferently.


    Grace frowned. "Why didn''t you wake me up?"


    Brian opened his mouth, but said nothing. He simply stood up, his tone cold as he said, "I''ll take you back."


    The journey back was silent, and it wasn''t until she got out of the car that Grace said, "Thank you."


    In response, Brian nced at her before the car swiftly sped away.

    Grace frowned, unsure of what had upset him.

    Austin was already fast asleep, and by now, she had grown ustomed to being taken care of by her uncle and could sleep by herself at night.


    Grace tiptoed back into the house, and Carson opened his eyes to look at her before turning over and going back to sleep.


    The advanced therapist''s skills were indeed impable. The next day at work, she felt much more energetic, and the bug that had been troubling herst night was suddenly clear in her mind as she fixed it. After workingte into the evening and dealing with some minor tasks, she had everything ready for the

    Louise had intended to make Grace work overtime for a few more days, but she hadn''t expected Grace

    Louise approached Brian and opened theptop. "Brian, I''ve got the programs rted to the anniversary celebration all sorted out.
