"I won't," Jensen promised carefully, "Grace, Alice is really nice. If you get to know her better, you'll understand that she's a lovely, simple and caring girl."
As Grace listened to Jensen, she knew that he was getting close to Alice.
Grace nodded smilingly.
Jensen grinned too. "Just leave her to me."
"Officer Charm," Grace said sincerely, "I know that you are a good guy and I'm not worried about you. I'm worried about my sister."
Jensen was extremely worried as well when he heard Grace.
Jensen's face darkened. "I know, I'm worried too. It's up to us but I believe that everything will get better. When the time is right and our relationship stabilizes, I will confess everything to her."
"Yeah." Grace nodded. She picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.
They had lunch together but they ate quickly because they had work in the afternoon. After finishing lunch, they exited the restaurant together.
Jensen offered Grace, "Public transport will take a long time. Let me send you back."
"You don't have too. You must be musy with work," Grace replied, "I'll just take the bus."
"It won't take more than fifteen minutes." Jensen insisted on sending her home. "Let's go, I'll drop you off. I wouldn't be worried and it'll be easier to explain to Heinz too."
"Alright," Grace finally nodded and answered gratefully, "Thanks."
The two of them walked to the police station together.
Meanwhile, Alice just arrived at the police station. Initially, she was there to do a market survey. After completing the survey, there was nothing for her to do in the afternoon. Jensen was working nearby, hence she decided to drop by.
As soon as Alice arrived, she spotted Jensen and Grace chatting happily as they came out from a restaurant.
Alice immediately furrowed her eyebrows. What was going on?
Previously, she always felt like her sister and Jensen were sharing secrets but she did not know what was going on. Now, she found it strange that they came out of the restaurant together.
Alice could not figure out what happened.
Alice stared at them from where she was. Naturally, she did not believe that her sister was having an affair with Jensen. She was just curious about what her sister was discussing with Jensen.
Alice hesitated for a moment and decided to show herself.
Alice walked towards Jensen and Grace.
"Sister!" Alice yelled in a distance.
Grace instantly looked up and was surprised to see Alice.
Jensen was taken aback too. He smiled and walked towards Alice swiftly. Jensen asked joyfully, "What brings you here?"
Alice's heart was relieved when she noticed Jensen's calm looks. She explained, "I had something to do nearby, so I came to see you."
"Have you had your lunch?" Jensen asked.
"I ate a meat pie," Alice replied.
Jensen immediately nagged in distress, "Are you even full? You should have called me. I just had lunch at the restaurant with Grace. It's something simple but it's better than just having a pie!"
Alice felt at ease. It seemed that it was not a big deal because Jensen was not hiding anything from her.
Alice uttered, "I didn't intend to come here. I just decided to try my luck and I didn't expect to bump into you and my sister."
Grace smiled when she spotted her sister and explained, "I came to ask Officer Charm about Heinz."
Alice immediately asked perceptively, "Sister, what's the matter with Heinz?"
Jensen turned to Grace instantly.
Jensen dared not speak before Grace spoke.
