Moments later, Grace finished wiping the upper of his shoe and looked up at him. “Is this alright?”
Now, her face was as pale as snow and had no trace of color. With her thin body, she looked frail.
Jason unconsciously frowned. The sight of her appearance made him feel uncomfortable.
Grace waited for a while, and when Jason did not answer her, she touched her nose awkwardly and laughed at herself. She got up.
“May I borrow a broom and a dustpan? Let me clear this place up a bit,” Grace said to a man in a security guard uniform.
“Huh?” The man was stunned for a moment. He replied quickly after seeing a nod from Terrence. “Okay, give… Give me a second.”
He said and quickly got a broom and a dustpan, handing them to
Grace.
Grace hung her head low as she began to clean up her vomit. Jason stood nearby and did not leave.
Since Jason did not leave, the others naturally dared not as well.
Therefore, the group of people just watched Grace clean up the place.
Those black eyes of his stared at the thin figure, and Jason’s face darkened even more. The way she looked reminded him of the scene when she swept the streets, but now, she was thinner than she was then. It was as if she would fall when the wind blew.
He knew that he should leave and ignore her. Even if she vomited blood or fainted in front of him, he should ignore her.
He should just ignore her like he had done the last few times.
However, he could not take his eyes off her! Jason’s face was so gloomy that it looked like it could rain, and his brows furrowed even more.
Seeing his boss looking like this, Terrence almost dared not breathe.
Just as Grace was cleaning, she stumbled and was about to fall when Jason immediately rushed forward. He grabbed Grace’s arm and walked toward Reed Group’s building.
Grace was so surprised that she loosened her grip, and the broom dropped to the ground.
When she came to herself, Jason had already pulled her into the elevator.
The senior executives and security guards standing outside stared at each other, still not sure what was going on.
A senior executive could not resist asking, “Secretary Gao, this is…”
“Don’t ask. If you ever see that woman again, don’t offend her,” said Terrence. He instructed the security guards to get the company’s cleaners to come and clean up the place.
In the elevator, Grace said to Jason, “Where are you taking me? Let go!”
Jason only pressed his thin lips together and said nothing.
“Let go!” She wiggled her wrist and struggled.
However, his five fingers were like steel bars, grasping her wrist firmly. The more she struggled, the more her wrist hurt.
Ding dong!
Jason brought Grace out of the elevator when it stopped at the floor where the president’s office was located.
“Let go… What are you trying to do…” she cried out. His grim expression and the forceful aura emanating all over him gave people a sense of danger.
It was even more impossible to guess what he was thinking at the moment.
While the secretaries looked on, no one dared to step forward. After Jason brought Grace into the office, the secretaries looked. at each other and agreed to act as if nothing had happened.
However, there was an unconcealable shock in their eyes!
These secretaries naturally knew Grace and had secretly discussed before that Grace could join the Reed family and become the mistress of the Reed family. After all, they had never seen Master Reed pay so much attention to a woman before.
However, these days, Grace had become such a taboo that someone who had accidentally said the word ‘Grace’ was immediately fired!
Secretary Jackson later secretly told them not to mention anything related to Grace.
The secretaries thought Cinderella had lost her chance, but they never expected this to happen today!
In the office, Grace said in a fluster, “Jason, let go…”
Before she finished speaking, he suddenly let go of his hand. As she could not get her footing, she stumbled and nearly fell.
Jason said coldly, “Let go. Of course, I’ll let go! But I really want to know why you appear in front of me again and again when you’ve knelt on the ground and begged me to let you go?”
He drew nearer and nearer to her. The heavy pressure that reeked of danger almost made her breathless.
She subconsciously backed away as she said, “It’s just… a coincidence. I didn’t mean to appear in front of you.”
“A coincidence?” He suddenly sneered. “If the last few times were coincidences, what about today? Why did you appear at Reed Group’s entrance? Why don’t you tell me where you’re going that you have to pa** through here?”
Grace was speechless. She did not even know why she had unknowingly ended up here! Her mind had been in a whirl, thinking about what to do with Chase Harper’s case.
Her silence deepened the look of sarcasm on his face. “What’s the matter? Are you speechless?”
His steps came closer. As she continued to step back, her calf hit the arm of the couch behind her. She staggered and fell onto the couch.
Grace made a conscious attempt to sit up, but her legs were on the arms of the couch and her back was pressed against the seat. It made it difficult for her to sit up at once.
The next moment, Jason had leaned over with one hand pressed on the back of the couch while the other was pressed on the seat. beside her. For a moment, she looked as if she were imprisoned in his arms.
This position made Grace embarra**ed. “What… are you trying to do?” She glared at him.
“I should be the one to ask you what you’re trying to do!” said Jason. Did she know that her appearance disturbed his heart, which he was trying to calm down? “Grace, are you playing hard to get?”
His face approached hers, his warm breath spraying on her face.
Her face could not help turning red, and she denied it. “No!”
“Does Brian not treat you well enough? Is that why? So you want to come back to me?” he murmured, his fingers gently caressing her cheek though his expression remained cold.
Grace had a flashback to the scene at the hospital when she told Brian that she was the little girl who saved his life, but Brian no longer believed her because she had denied it so many times.before.
Her denials were all because of… Jason, who was right in front of her now!
The way things turned out was almost like an irony.
Taking a deep breath, Grace said, “Jason, what’s going on. between Brian and me is between us. I’m not here to see you either. I thought we had already made it clear at the beginning.”
His eyes grew colder, and his fingers suddenly grabbed her jaw.
“Ah!” exclaimed Grace. She felt a pang of pain from her jaw, and his face was so close to hers that the tips of their noses almost touched. It was so close that she could count his eyelashes.
“Grace…” His hoarse voice rang in her ears. “Have you ever regretted it? Do you regret asking me to let you go?”
