Regret Came Too Late

"I slept pretty well, Mr. Henderson. I'm really sorry about what happened

yesterday. I panicked after hearing what the partners said and didn't pay attention to the alcohol content," Grace said, her expression apologetic.

"To make up for it, I'd like to get involved in developing the theme park. I'll do everything I can to persuade the director to move out. Please let me take this on," she insisted.

Ethan took a sip of his coffee and said indifferently, "Don't do that again next time."

Grace suddenly recalled how, last night, he had turned his head and said, "Don't do that."

Damn! She was such an animal!

"I'm really sorry. I'll head to the hospital right away and try to solve the issue for you, Mr. Henderson.

"Also, I noticed you have dark circles under your eyes. Did you not sleep well last night? I can continue to act as a sleeping aid tonight."

Ethan paused as if considering the idea but then hesitated.

Grace quickly raised her hand in a solemn vow. "I swear to Mr. Henderson, I have absolutely no such intentions. If I do, then..."

He interrupted before she could finish the vow. "Don't say it."

Her throat felt like it was being squeezed, and she quickly shut her mouth. "So, should I head to the site now?" she asked.

Ethan hummed his response.

Before she could leave, the door suddenly swung open, and Yancey walked in without knocking.
