Chapter 426
That night, Grace slept soundly. When she woke up the next day, she was full of energy
She stretched her waist and was shocked to find Brian sitting in front of her. She gasped in shock as memories came back to her. She then remembered that she had fainted last night and was sent to the hospital by Brian.
Grace thought, 'When did I fall asleep last night? Did he just watch over me all night?'
Grace had mixed feelings,
At this moment, Brian moved his neck, stretched his long legs, and slowly opened his eyes.
Grace pursed her lips and looked at his face.
"Morning." He moved his stiff neck. "Are you feeling any discomfort anywhere else?"
She shook her head. "What time is it?"
Brian took out his phone and took a look. He had slept late last night and it was already eight o'clock.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
On the screen were messages and missed calls from Louise. [Brian? Why didn't you pick me up? Melvin said that you didn't go back last night. Where were you?] Brian glanced at the message but did not reply. He put his phone back into his pocket. Meanwhile, Louise could not sit still at home. She had called Brian three times, but he did not pick up. He did not reply to her messages either. She thought, 'Could it be that he was with Grace last night?'
Thinking of this, she couldn't sit still anymore and drove to the company.
She went to the CEO's office first. There was no one inside, so she waited inside. When it was almost time for work to start, Camren arrived.
"Camren." She hurriedly went forward and stopped him. "You were the one who sent Mr. Francis back after dinner last night, right? Why isn't he at home?"
Camren looked at her and frowned slightly. Louise did not let go of any of his expressions. Her voice turned cold. "Where is he?"
After hesitating for a while, he said, "Miss Adkins, when I sent Mr. Francis back last night, Mr. Francis said that he had something to do and had to return to the company. I don't know what happened after that." With that, he nodded politely and left.
Louise narrowed her eyes and immediately went downstairs to the Development Department.
Erin was muttering, "This Grace is getting bolder and bolder! She actually dares to knock off before she finishes what I arranged for her! She even messed up the office!"
Louise walked in and asked, "Erin, what's wrong?"
Erin replied, "Mrs. Francis, I asked Grace to stay for overtime last night, but look, she didn't even finish her work. I don't know where she went."
"Then give her a call," Louise said immediately.
Erin took out her phone and called Grace. When she picked up, Erin started scolding her.
Louise signaled for her to turn on the speaker.
Grace waited for her to finish scolding before saying, "I'm sorry Erin. I wasn't feeling well last night and went to the hospital for an IV drip. I'll be back in a while."
Louise mouthed to Erin to ask which hospital Grace was in.
Grace hesitated for a moment but did not think too much about it. She told Erin the name of the hospital she was in.
"I have to go back to the office." Grace sat up from the bed and went to the washroom to wash her face.
At this moment, Brian suddenly stopped her. "Grace..."
Grace looked back at him. "What's wrong?"
There was a strange look on his face as if he wanted to say something. After a long pause, he said, "Your pants are dirty." Grace immediately put her hands behind her back and turned her back to him. Her face instantly turned red, and she wished she could crawl into the ground at that moment.
