Chapter 178

Lucas ran over and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Miss Sherman. I didn’t expect to work overtime tonight.”

She forced her eyelids open and forced a smile. “It’s fine. Even if you guys work overtime, I have to work overtime too.

“Then shall we have dinner together another day?”

Grace narrowed her eyes and nodded. “Okay”

Grace turned around, picked up her bag, and prepared to take a taxi back to the hotel. As soon as she turned around, she saw Brian.

He was alone. Ava was not by his side. He must have returned to the hotel to sleep.

He looked energetic, and there was no sign of him when they were filming just now. Grace guessed that he must have hidden somewhere to sleep.

Her sleepiness instantly disappeared without a trace.

Brian stared coldly into her eyes, as if the abundance of attention he gave wasn’t sufficient, and she was contemplating dating someone else.

Grace’s eyes s turned cold. She walked past him and left. She knew that Brian must be the reason why she was working overtime tonight.

As for the reason, it was probably because he didn’t want her to have a good rest. After all, as long as she started filming, no matter whose scenes she filmed, he would force her to be present.

Grace returned to the hotel and fell asleep after taking a shower.

At seven o’clock the next morning, there was a violent knock on the door.

Grace opened her eyes. Her eyes were dry and uncomfortable.

“Grace. Get up quickly. There’s a sunrise scene this morning. Get up quickly.”

Ava’s sharp voice continued to come from outside the door. She got out of bed in frustration and opened the door with her messy hair.

“Are you crazy? Who are you to order me around? Do you think I’m you?”

Grace scolded her.

Ava was so angry that she stomped on her feet and pointed at Grace’s nose. Before she could curse, Brian’s cold voice suddenly sounded.

“She’s my Personal Life Assistant. I’m your immediate superior. Why can’t we wake you up?”

Grace paused for a moment, then frowned.

“Personal Life Assistant?” Grace was taken aback by the title that Brian assigned to Ava, sparking questions about her new responsibilities and injecting intrigue into her professional role.

Ava crossed her arms and looked at her arrogantly, “Why? Are you not convinced! Hurry up and get up:

Grace looked at Ava and then at Brian. “Where’s Ms. Patel Ava sneered. “She could even make a mistake in booking a plane ticket. Of course she packed up and left”

Grace was stunned for two seconds before she suddenly looked at Ava coldly. “It better be like this.

Grace slammed the door shut.

She picked up her phone, opened Nancy’s WhatsApp. glanced at the time, and felt it was too early to message her now, afraid of disturbing her.

She opened Nancy’s WhatsApp Status.

She realized that she had posted a message on her Status last week, stated ‘Goodbye.

Nancy had followed Brian for so many years. She did not believe that Nancy would make such a low–

level mistake.

Brian must have fired her on purpose for Ava.

Grace got dressed and headed outside. The day’s shoot took place by the sea, and the production team’s vehicle was already parked at the hotel entrance.

As soon as she got into the car, she saw Brian and Ava sitting side by side in the first row.

Grace’s expression suddenly darkened. She lowered her head and walked past them to the furthest place to sit down.

Her deliberate indifference made Brian very unhappy. He wished he could pull her over and press her against his side.

When the car arrived at their destination, Grace walked alone by the sea and called Nancy.

She must have been still asleep. “Hey,” she said lazily.

“Nancy, it’s me, Grace.”
