Chapter 329
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict!
After Grace walked into the building with the trolley, the receptionist greeted her, asking only for her name. She did not even ask her to register and offered to help her press the button for the elevator.
All this led to Graceâs speculation to drift in one direction. When she arrived at the address listed on the order, a tall woman in a business suit came over. âMiss Cummins? I ordered the food. You can just leave these here, and please take these two to the presidentâs office.â
Graceâs heart dropped for a moment, and her speculation earlier began to come to light.
The presidentâs office⦠Jason was the president of Reed Group.
Were these two for Jasonâs office?
Grace picked two up and walked toward Jasonâs office. Standing. in front of the dark wooden door, she took a deep breath before knocking twice.
âCome in.â A voice came from inside.
Grace pushed the door open and walked in, only to find Jason sitting at his desk. He was reviewing the papers with his head down.
âIâll leave your order on the coffee table,â said Grace as she he got up and walked around the desk to her.
âI have to go back to the restaurant and deliver the other orders,â
she said.
âHave you had lunch?â he said out of nowhere.
She blinked in a daze, not knowing how to react all of a sudden.
âIt seems you havenât eaten. Then you can eat with me. Iâd like to try the food from the restaurant youâre working at, Sis,â he said as he grabbed her. Then, he put his hands on her shoulders and pushed her down on the sofa.
She subconsciously wanted to stand up, but the force on her shoulders made it impossible for her to do so.
âYouâ¦â She glared at him.
âWhy? You donât want to dine with me?â he asked with a smile.
âIâm really in a hurry,â she said.
âIs that so?â Danger seemed to creep into his eyes. âIn that case, I might as well return all of this.â
Grace was shocked and suddenly realized that the person in front of her was Jason!
How could someone like Jason accept rejection so easily? If all these food were returned, Kyla would have a lot to lose.
Besides, Kylaâs small restaurant might go out of business if he wanted to do something to it after canceling the order.
âJust one meal?â she asked after she calmed down.
Jason smiled. âWhat else is there to do?â
He said as he removed his hands from her shoulders and turned to open the foodâs packaging on the coffee table.
He had long fingers and well-defined joints. Even the shape of his nails was pretty.
Even though he was just removing a plastic bag, a pair of hands like his could make people feel its beauty and attract their attention.
He took out two lunch boxes and helped her break off the disposable chopsticks before handing them to her.
