Regret Came Too Late

Grace felt surprised, wondering if she was just imagining the way Alice looked at Ethan. It was definitely not how a regular person would look at a business partner.

When Alice noticed Grace enter, her expression soured. She wasn't too happy when she thought about how Grace worked here and could see Ethan daily. Meanwhile, Alice had to invent excuses about projects and contracts just to visit once it was just unfair.

A wicked thought crossed her mind. Since Liam was still in the hospital recovering, maybe she should make sure he never woke up. That way, Grace would never be able to return to the Lambert family.

The idea made her tremble with excitement. Grace caught that flash of malice in her eyes and immediately went on guard.

But Alice put on a sweet smile. "Grace, Henderson Group has such a nice work environment. I'm so jealous."

Grace walked up to Ethan's desk and grabbed his coffee cup, totally ignoring Alice's attempt at pleasantness. "Your perfume is suffocating. Mr. Henderson can't stand women who wear such strong scents."

Right on cue, Ethan coughed twice as if he was actually bothered by the smell. Alice had come with every intention of seducing Ethan, and being so blatantly dismissed felt like a knife through her heart.
