Grace picked up the phone with suspicion and said, "Hello?"
Summer's voice came over, "Did you read today's entertainment news?"
"No. I'm checking the restaurant's accounts. There is no time for that. What happened?"
Summer yawned. "Nothing."
However, Grace narrowed her eyes and said, "Say it!"
"Nothing happened!" Summer stressed again.
"Say it!" Grace's tone was tougher." Summer, you can't fool me! " 'Summer is not such a boring woman who calls me to ask whether I've read the entertainment news or not. Something must have happened.'
Now, Summer regretted calling her. She said, "It's about Charlie. But don't be angry. They like to chase shadows."
Grace didn't reply to her. She got the iPad next to her and turned it on. She input the name "Charlie" and then the latest news about him appeared.
The title was "The CEO of the Morgan Group Met a Beauty Secretly and the Romance Came out."
And there were two photos — one was about a woman helping him walk into a hotel, the other was taken during the day, from which we could see they stood ahead of the car. Charlie was smiling while the
woman was blushing with her head down, looking shy.
Grace knew this woman, who was Charlie's secretary, with whom she had dinner in the restaurant that day.
It was rare for Grace to lapse into the silence. Her fair finger slid the screen while watching it.
The manager was curious. She leaned to her slightly and saw the red title out of the corner of her eye. She froze for a while and was puzzled. And then, she sat still quickly and didn’t look at it anymore.
Grace turned off the iPad. Looking at the time, she stood up and said, "Close the restaurant."
The manager nodded. Before she could react, Grace had walked out of the restaurant and drove to the hotel.
After taking a bath, she turned on the large LCD with a cup of yogurt in her hand and watched horrors, deadpan.
It was the scariest movie during that period. When watching it, people's skin prickled, and they broke out in a cold sweat. The comments were full of horror.
But Grace was not afraid at all and didn't even frown.
Her phone vibrated. She looked down at it and found it was a massage from Summer." Where are you?"
"Hotel. Watching a horror movie."
"Didn't you go looking for Charlie?"
Summer sent her a string of face emojis to show the surprise that Grace could be so calm.
Grace said, "I don't want to look for him. Say something else. Do you want to come here to watch horror movies with me?"
Summer was not as idle as Grace. She was tied up with her two children. After thinking for a while, she said, "You believe him."
'Do I believe him?'
Grace looked haunted. No one knew what she was thinking.
Summer didn't chat with her.
Summer thought Grace, who had a volcanic temper, would go to his company and make a scene when seeing that kind of news.
But unexpectedly, she didn't.
Grace also thought she had been changed into a smooth person after working in the restaurant for a long time.
It had nothing to do with believing him or not.
Bella shook her head immediately. "No. Mr. Morgan, I got to go."
"Okay," Charlie said.
Now, only Charlie and Grace were in the room. Grace gazed at Charlie who was eating pasta.
"I believe you this time. But next time, I won't believe you anymore. And I sleep here tonight.”
Without saying anything, Charlie continued to have soup, looking calm.
Grace lay on the large bed in the bedroom waiting for the man. However, he didn't come in.
She walked out of the room and saw the light of the study was on through the crack of the door.
Then she walked to the study and opened the door. Seeing her, Charlie frowned and said, "What's the matter?"
She just looked at him intently, without saying anything. It seemed that she wanted to see through him. After a moment, she smiled brightly.
Then, she went away, closed the door of the bedroom, and then closed her eyes.
The cold war between them seemed to come to an end from this day forward. However, they seldom talked to each other after she returned to the department. And they also didn't share a room.
When Grace got up in the morning, Charlie had already gone.
And when she came back in the evening, he had been asleep. Though they lived in a department, they didn’t communicate with each other.
Bella made dinner for them from time to time. She was an excellent cook. The color of the dishes matches well and they tasted good. She always liked to smile, with dimples on her face. She looked like a beautiful and innocent college student.
Sometimes, Grace saw Charlie smile gently at Bella just as he did to her before.
However, he never smiled at her like that now.
