Heinz frowned and a hint of worry flashed across his eyes. "Miss Smith, are you not feeling well?"
Grace was stunned for a moment and then came to her senses. Looking at Heinz's eyes, she was surprised and shook her head. "No."
Grace was perfectly fine just now. She even spoke badly of me with Lester just now, but now she looked glum. Since she was not uncomfortable, then she must have some other problem.
Grace lowered her head again and fell into deep thought.
Heinz was displeased when he saw her bowing her head. "Since you're not unwell, the way you behave now does not make you look like a professional business person. You look like I owe you something. Can you behave more appropriately?"
Grace was shocked and raised her eyes to look at Heinz's face again. She helplessly moved her lips and showed a sad and helpless smile.
"Mr. Jones, I'm sorry, you misunderstood me."
Grace apologized sincerely and didn't want to quarrel at all. She suddenly felt very tired, and there was a hint of fatigue showing between her eyebrows.
Heinz frowned and felt that something was wrong. Grace was not being aggressive anymore, which made him very bored.
This woman suddenly changed her attitude completely. It was strange.
Grace's mood was influenced by the mention of " Sunny Group". She pursed her lips and thought of Simon and Marry. Things had been brewing for many years. Grace thought, "Was it right that I took my child and left all those years ago?"
What has Marry done?
Now it seemed to Grace that she had to figure out what had happened that year.
Soon, Grace arrived at the president's room.
By a glance, the corridor was as clean as new. It was luxuriously decorated and had a rosewood wall.
Walking through a spacious corridor, she realized it was a secretary's office. There were many cubicles in the room, so there should be as many secretaries.
Further inside was a reception room. There were several reception rooms, of different sizes, meeting rooms, private offices, tea rooms, and in the Northern City, having such a big working area surely costed a lot of money. These office buildings were so spacious and luxurious.
Grace stood there, admiring Heinz in her heart.
Heinz should be very young. Rumor has it that he was barely 30 years old, but his company was already so glorious.
This made Grace see Heinz in a new light.
Grace could not help but look up at Heinz.
Their eyes met.
Grace was stunned and found that Heinz was also looking at her. His eyes felt as sharp as knives while he was looking at her.
Grace felt a burning sensation on her face and pursed her lips.
Heinz said, "Lester, take Miss Smith to the VIP reception room. I'll go there after meeting with Mr. and Mrs. Brown. Both of you can start with the meeting first."
"Yes." Lester nodded and gestured to Grace, "Miss Smith, please come with me."
"Thank you." Grace nodded and saw that Heinz did not follow her into the reception room.
As she turned around, Heinz's eyes were fixed on Grace's back as he sized her up with interest.
Grace felt that her back was being stared at with eyes as sharp as a blade. She did not dare to look back and walked into the reception room stiffly.
This reception room was about thirty or forty square meters in size. It was one of the smaller rooms, but it was indeed luxurious. Its luxury leather sofa and matching wooden coffee table were all very tasteful.
"Miss Smith, please take a seat." Lester then asked for someone to send tea to her. "Do you want coffee or tea?"
"No, I'll leave after the meeting with Mr. Jones." Grace sat on the sofa; she was not in the mood to have any tea.
Lester said, "Let's have coffee."
Grace shook her head and said, "Let's have tea then. I'm not used to drinking coffee."
"Okay."
After a while, the green tea was delivered. The secretary smiled, served the tea, and left with a nod.
The secretary was well-trained.
This was Grace's first observation.
She didn't expect Heinz, who seemed to be a ruffian, to have such a well-behaved subordinate.
