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.
