Regret Came Too Late

When Grace got into the car, all she felt was utter exhaustion.

She didn't sleep a wink last night and had so much to do this morning. Her mind was in chaos. She had even begun to wonder-who started the fire? Could it be Ethan?

Considering that this happened to the Lambert family only a few hours after Grace antagonized him, Ethan was definitely a strong suspect. But she had provoked him before and came out just fine. He didn't seem like someone who'd hold a petty grudge.

Grace rubbed her temples. Then again, maybe this was the last straw for Ethan. After all, Ethan had pulled a gun, so the suspicion still stood.

Her head was muddled on the whole drive to Henderson Group. When she finally sat at her desk, the whole room spun so hard that she couldn't help but lay on her table for a bit.

But she had barely dozed off when a bucket of water was dumped over her head, making her shiver. Her whole workspace was soaked.

Looking up, she saw Jodie's smug face. With a raised brow, Jodie held the bucket she had snatched from a janitor, looking pleased with herself.

"I've told you before, Grace. I'll make you regret your decisions every time I see you. Either quit this job and disappear from my sight forever or get used to this."

Grace heard the snickers from around the office-like they were laughing at how she had pissed off the princess.

She wiped the water from her face and gave Jodie a small smile. "Ms. Henderson, looks like your injuries are all healed."

Jodie's face twisted in fury. She raised the bucket again, ready to strike. How dare the bitch mention this! It was because of Grace that she ended up in the hospital. Today, she was here to teach this bitch a lesson!

But before she could hit Grace with the bucket, Grace grabbed her wrist. Then, Grace grabbed the bucket and hit Jodie with it instead.
