Chapter 76
“I just got
off work. What’s up?” I replied.
“Let’s grah a meal together. I’m at the entrance of your company,” Tom said.
“Alright. Wait for me. I’ll be right out.‘
I quickly walked toward the exit after hanging up the phone. Just as I was about to walk through the entrance, I heard someone calling me from behind..
“Grace”
I instinctively turned around, only to see Joseph.
“Joseph” I looked at him in confusion. “What’s going on? Is there something wrong?
“I heard from a colleague about the issue with Mandy’s agent today. You didn’t handle it quite right. It might cause some trouble…” Joseph’s face was full of concern.
Ismiled
“It’s fine. I’m not afraided trouble
Joseph pursed his lips. “You might not know this, but Mandy has powerful connections in the Fuvine circle. Do you know the Gould family, the wealthy family from Fuvine? I heard she’s the ex–girlfriend of the CEO of Gould Group. Mr. Gould skipped his wedding day for her, and I heard he has already divorced his wife…”
I couldn’t help but laugh. I never expected the dramatic story between Gavin and me to already become common gossip.

“Hey, Grace!”
I quickly turned around when I heard the familiar voice.
At that moment, Tom was walking toward us. The orange light of the setting sun stretched his shadow on the ground and cast shadows on his sharp features, making his face look even more chiseled and defined
“What are you discussing?” Tom’s powerful temperament made it feel as if he was exerting

Joseph swallowed unconsciously. Before even saying a word, he already felt interior to Tom
“This is any colleague, Joseph,” I quickly introduced them.
“Joseph, this is my senior from university, Tom”
Joseph nodded quickly and was about to extend his hand to greet him, but Tom turned his head to look at me with a smile on his face. “Let’s go, I’ve waiting for you so long. I’m starving ”
I couldn’t help but laugh. “When did you arrive? How long have you been waiting?”
“Anyway, I’m just hungry. Let’s go.”
I’ve been
He put his arm around my shoulder as he spoke and then moved to head out
I was startled by his sudden affectionate gesture and was about to pull away when Tom raised his hand and ruffled my hair. His smile was relaxed and nonchalant.

“Let’s go to the mall later and get you a new outfit. Tomorrow, you’re coming with me to Drixmont to meet Rose. You need to dress more formally, embarrass me.
“I wouldn’t embarrass you!”

Laken a few steps with him when I suddenly realized I had forgotten to say goodbye to Joseph.
“Joseph, I’m leaving bye
Joseph’s expression stiffened, but he waved his hand nonetheless. “Bye.”
Tom narrowed his eyes slightly and instinctively turned to glance behind him. His voice was cold. “His na
name is Joseph, right?”
“Yes,
, why? I looked up at him, feeling puzzled.
Tom smiled slightly. “Nothing. I’ll remember that name,”
