True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 87

Simon Brown frowned slightly. "Grace, I didn't expect you to be in Mr. Jones's office. I have no idea why you're here but it doesn't make sense for us to talk about the past. Everyone knows that you're my ex-girlfriend."

Heinz Jones frowned and asked, "Since she used to be your girlfriend, why did you marry Miss Smith from Sunny Group then?"

Simon was stunned by his question.

He smiled awkwardly and said, "It's a long story."

"Oh." Heinz Jones smiled meaningfully and spoke slowly, "Mr. Brown, it's very poignant of you to remember your ex-girlfriend despite being married for so many years. Obviously, both of you had a good relationship."

"Mr. Jones, you must be joking." Simon smiled awkwardly. "Grace and I had more than just a relationship."

Heinz Jones' eyes darkened. He glanced at Grace Smith, she looked icy-cold.

He could tell that she was extremely affected by Simon Brown's presence.

She was very distressed.

Heinz had misunderstood the relationship between them. He thought that Grace was distressed because seeing Simon Brown had got her reminiscing about the past.

Heinz Jones glanced at her and asked, "Grace, do you have any idea what Mr. Brown is talking about?"

"Sorry, Mr. Jones. It's not my obligation to answer this question." Grace refused faintly.

Heinz Jones' expression turned cold.

Simon Brown noticed Heinz's change in expression. He paused for a moment and finally understood the situation. He smiled gently and asked, "Grace, Why are you in Mr. Jones' office today?"

"It's none of your business, Mr. Brown." Grace answered coldly. "Currently, we are nothing more but acquaintances. Please remember your place and stop creating slander. I do not want others to have a misunderstanding towards us, especially your wife."

"Okay." Simon Brown immediately said. "I know you hate me. I'm not afraid that Mr. Jones will judge me because this has always been in my mind. It's unnecessary for us to get to this point."

He seemed to be adding fuel to fire.

Grace only frowned and continued to glare at Simon.

Heinz Jones seemed annoyed.

But he kept his composure.

"Mr. Brown, if you have no other business to discuss with Mr. Jones, you may leave now. Mr. Jones is a busy man, please do not waste his precious time." Grace said curtly.

"Thank you for the reminder." Simon was not angry. Instead, he smiled as he said, "Let's meet up next time. This is not a good place to catch up."

Simon Brown spoke suggestively on purpose.

Grace Smith frowned in disgust and lowered her head. She didn't want to talk to this disgusting man.

She didn't know that he was such a disgusting man before, but now she did.

Heinz Jones didn't say anything because he knew Simon was doing it on purpose.

Grace Smith was clearly over Simon Brown, yet he was creating the ambiguity deliberately. Grace seemed disgusted by his presence.

When Heinz Jones saw her expression, he was not so angry anymore.

He smiled and said, "Mr. Brown, let's get down to business."

"Yes, you're right, Mr. Jones," Simon replied, he smiled and began to discuss his work with Heinz Jones. "Mr. Jones, we had a meeting within Sunny Group. The profit-sharing ratio that you proposed, I'm afraid that it is not enough for us."
