Chapter 332
“By the way, you haven’t been back to the office in a long time. Your old colleagues miss you very much. However, it’s all right now. We can meet any time we want,” said Andrea Schwartz as she pulled Grace into the office. “Since you’re here, why don’t you. meet your old colleagues?”
Grace glanced at Andrea Schwartz. She certainly knew what she
was up to.
In that case, she should just face them. If she escaped, they
would only laugh at her.
“Okay, I’ll meet them,” Grace said generously.
Her attitude, on the contrary, surprised Andrea Schwartz. After all,
it was not what she expected to see.
Once inside, Andrea Schwartz clapped her hands in the main office and drew everyone’s attention. “Come and take a look, everybody. Grace, our former colleague, came back to see us.”
All of a sudden, many people in the office looked in their direction.
As Grace looked around, she saw a mix of former colleagues and
new ones she did not know.
“Andrea, did she work here before? Where is she working now?”
asked a young new colleague.
The question was just as Andrea Schwartz wanted, but Andrea Schwartz still showed a look of regret and said, “Grace used to
be the most promising rookie we had here, and people said that before long, she would be a great lawyer and would be snapped up by all the law firms.”
“Which law firm is she in now?” the newcomer asked curiously.
“Well…” Andrea Schwartz looked at Grace with an embarrassed
look on her face.
Grace simply felt that Andrea Schwartz’s performance was botched. It was fine if she made it obvious that she was trying to step on her toes, but the most disgusting thing was that she had to do it while acting as if it was intolerable and awkward.
“I’m a delivery girl at Yan Yan Restaurant. You’re welcome to place your order. I’ll bring you some menus next time,” Grace said unabashedly. There was no embarrassment or awkwardness on her face as Andrea Schwartz had imagined. Grace even managed
a smile.
The smile set off her face with an indescribable gentleness.
Andrea Schwartz gritted her teeth in secret. She was thinking to
herself, ‘Go on, I’ll see how much longer you can act.”
“Grace, your boyfriend seemed pretty well-off when I went
shopping last time. Why are you making a living delivering food at
a small restaurant? Don’t be fooled. A lot of people like to fake as
someone they’re not these days. He probably didn’t have much money but still pretended to be rich. He might owe a bunch of
your back,” Andrea Schwartz reminded as if she was concerned.
Grace gave a faint smile. “All right, I’ll ask him some other time.”
Andrea Schwartz only felt as if she was hitting a soft nail. It was as
if nothing she said would matter to Grace.
Some of the newcomers at the firm had no idea why Grace had gone from a lawyer to a delivery girl. As Grace turned toward the
firm’s exit, she heard someone behind her asking the question.
