"Don't talk nonsense," Laney immediately stopped her. "You have to change your bad habit of gossiping. Not everyone can bear this habit. How does your husband tolerate you?"
"It's true that I'm too straightforward," Julia said frankly, "Sigh, I'm just worried. I hope Grace isn't a mistress."
"She seems very pure. She's not a bad child," Laney said, "Let's not make any rash claims."
"Alright!" Julia also said frankly, "I understand and I accept your advice. I won't say so much in the future."
After thinking for a while, Grace felt a little embarrassed, but soon she adjusted herself and took a deep breath.
She calmed down the embarrassment in her heart and reached out to knock on the door.
"Come in," Laney said.
After pushing the door open and entering the room, Laney was stunned when she saw Grace. She immediately said, "Grace, why did you come back?"
Julia was also stunned. She felt a little awkward.
Grace smiled and said with a relaxed and calm face, "I forgot my purse!"
Laney and Julia looked at each other. Both of them were a little worried. They did not know how much of their conversation Grace had heard.
Grace entered the room and found her purse on the chair. She picked it up and nodded slightly to them, "Professor Brooks, Aunt White, I'll leave first."
"Yes, be careful on the way," Laney instructed, "Take care. Regarding the interview, I'll settle it for you. I'll give the list to Tyler so he can bring it to you."
"Thank you, Professor Brooks," Grace expressed her gratitude.
"Don't mention it," Laney smiled. "Go ahead."
"Goodbye," Grace said and waved her hand.
She left and closed the door behind her.
She left quickly.
Inside the room, Julia took a deep breath. "My God. I wonder how much she heard."
Laney also sighed helplessly. "You don't even know how many people you've offended with your words."
"My husband said the same thing, but I always feel that it's alright. I'm just a little straightforward," Julia said.
"No, being straightforward is cute." Laney glanced at her friend. "But you're too straightforward to the point that you humiliate others. You're already over fifty years old, Julia. You can't live like this anymore."
Julia also had a flicker of helplessness in her eyes. "I know, but it's not easy to change it."
"Take your time to change," Laney said.
When Grace entered the elevator, the words 'third wheel' and 'mistress' were still flashing in her mind. It was too hurtful.
Fortunately, she was not. If she really was a third wheel, she would not have the ability to bear it.
She smiled slightly. Looking at the reflection of herself who was smiling bitterly, in the mirrored elevator wall, she couldn't help sighing.
Soon, the elevator arrived downstairs.
When Tyler saw her come out, he quickly went up to her and asked, "Did you get it?"
"Yes, I got it." As soon as Grace answered, her phone rang.
She picked up the phone and glanced at it, only to see that it was Heinz.
Slightly stunned, she picked up the phone. "Hello?"
"Have you had dinner?" Heinz asked.
"I just had my dinner," Grace said.
"I am in the parking lot of the exhibition center," Heinz said with a low and magnetic voice, "Come out, let's go home."
"Are you here?" Grace asked in surprise.
"Yes, I'm here."
"Give me a minute." After thinking for a while, she said, "No, I have to go to the Newspaper Office."
The interview draft must be sorted out. At this point, Hermione should still be waiting for her draft.
"Well, I'll send you there," Heinz said in a deep voice.
