After Grace finished one of the desserts, Ethan slid the revised document across to her. The point he had marked was already highlighted.

Grace reached out to take it, but her fingertips accidentally brushed against his. The document slipped from her hand and landed on the desk.

"I'll head out now, Mr. Henderson," she said.

Just as she was about to leave the office, he suddenly said, "There's a social gathering at 7:00 pm tonight."

Grace immediately understood his meaning. "Got it. I'll go with you."

She then shut the office door behind her and returned to her desk.
