Grayson thought for a moment and asked, "Where are they now?"Sam said, "In the reception hall on the first floor.""Get someone to take the receptionist to the doctor. The company will cover the expenses. Tell Belle to get back to work!"Sam couldn't believe his ears. Was that it?How about the rules that said anyone who fought at work would be fired? How was he supposed to explain this to everyone?"Is there something wrong?" asked Grayson.Sam contemplated whether to remind Grayson about the rule he had set himself, that both parties involved in a fight at the company were to be fired.However, his boss obviously didn't want to let Belle go. Sam thought for a moment and said, "No, sir."He left the CEO's office and went to the first floor. Belle was sitting on the sofa relaxedly with both hands in her janitor's uniform pockets. She did not look at all worried that she would be fired for beating someone up. On the other hand, Henrietta's eyes were swollen from crying.Sam
Belle was already in the elevator when Sam caught up to her. He was afraid that she would make things difficult for Grayson. "Ms. Walters, Mr. Page is in a meeting."Belle frowned and said, "What time will it end?""I'm not sure, but Mr. Page will surely go home tonight. Why don't you talk to him then?"Belle was angry, but she was still rational. She knew that it wasn't the right time to annoy Grayson when he was having visitors.Even so, she really didn't want to stay at the company any longer! She had kept thinking about Patrick's prescription and the Sylvester family when she was in the pantry earlier.She had planned to go to her rented house when she left the company. Although she hadn't gotten fired, she didn't feel like staying at work anymore. Therefore, she took the rest of the day off and left the office building. She immediately called Simon to ask about Dorothy.Simon told her that Dorothy was still shutting herself off. Since Belle couldn't do anything about it,
Robert fell silent for a few seconds before he said, "How about a café?"Belle felt a bitter taste in her mouth just by hearing the word "café". Coffee was too bitter for someone who preferred bubble tea! Even so, she did not reject his suggestion. She wasn't meeting him just to catch up over coffee anyway."Okay. Send me the location. I'll head over right now," said Belle."Okay."Once the call ended, Scott went over to Robert and said, "Not bad. You know how to ask a girl on a date now!"Robert returned the phone to Scott and said, "I need to talk to her about Patrick.""It's still a date. Buy her flowers.""Just mind your own business. I'll see you later," said Robert, and he got up to leave. He took a few steps before he turned around and added, "Don't be impulsive."He was worried that Scott would be impulsive like Grayson and do something that would jeopardize himself. Scott frowned when he thought about the game. "Grayson is downright targeting me! Just look. I hav
Grayson's heart stopped for a moment. Then, he promptly answered, "Hello?""Hi, Mr. Page. Are you free tonight? I've arrived at Maltford.""Yes, I'm free. Where are you? I'll send someone to pick you up," said Grayson."It's fine. I'm at a café called Espresso. Meet me here if you have time. I'll give you a consultation." Grayson would definitely take her up on it. He had been waiting for her to treat his insomnia. He hung up and immediately headed to Espresso. Meanwhile, Lena was sitting in a booth by the window. She stared outside through narrowed eyes. Her cup of coffee had already gone cold, but she didn't care.The servers and customers at the café glanced at her from time to time. It wasn't just because she was pretty but also because her charisma made her stand out.Lena was dressed in an elegant plain blouse, which was different from how everyone else was dressed. She looked calm and collected. Nobody could tell she had taken countless lives just by looking at her.
Once again, Lena seriously examined Grayson. She still couldn't detect anything unusual after looking at his previous blood reports. Lena said, "There are some problems. Did you have other symptoms apart from losing sleep recently?"Grayson answered honestly, "Sometimes, I feel dizzy, and I tire easily."Lena frowned. These were the normal side effects of insomnia. As such, she came to the conclusion that there was something wrong with Grayson's body. Since his body didn't absorb much poison, his reaction was also little. When she thought about that, Lena felt regretful. Before that, she had always worried that Grayson would find out the problem behind his scented sachet. So, she didn't give him a lot of poison. If she'd known, Lena would have increased the amount of poison for him!She remained silent for a while before breaking it and saying to Grayson, "There are some minor issues with your body that won't affect the duration of use of the scented sachet. "If you've exp
Meanwhile, Lena noticed the shift in Grayson's emotions. She frowned and turned in his direction, then spotted Belle instantly.Even though she could only see her back, Lena still panicked. Instantly, her usually calm heart was filled with agitation. Though she couldn't see her face, Lena still felt uncomfortable in her presence. It was as if she and that woman were fated to be enemies. Lena wouldn't hesitate to kill her if they were the only ones left on earth. Not only did the other woman make her uncomfortable, but she also made Lena panic. She felt threatened by her. It was an unsettling feeling.Lena wanted to see Belle's face clearly, but she feared Robert. After thinking for a while, she suppressed her impulse and looked at Grayson. Even though she wanted to ask Grayson whether he recognized the other woman, Lena felt that the timing wasn't appropriate. So, after some thought, she said, "Mr. Page, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving. When I finish t
Robert scowled and quickly stowed the prescription away, afraid of revealing Belle's medicinal skills. Grayson noticed Robert's actions. He immediately thought that it was a love letter. He grew angrier after thinking that Robert had received a love letter from Belle. He clenched his fists and furrowed his brow, lips pursed in fury. His steps quickened. He appeared very displeased, as if he had caught his wife cheating on him. It slipped his mind that his relationship with Belle was purely a contract marriage, and she was free to meet whomever she pleased.Belle appeared to sense something was amiss and turned around quickly. There, she spotted the enraged Grayson. Belle was shocked. As her husband approached her, she asked, "Why are you here?""Am I not supposed to be here?" Grayson gritted his teeth. Seeing Grayson's angry and unhappy expression, Belle surmised that he was upset because she had shared a meal with Robert.However, Belle hadn't promised Grayson that she
The café was thrown into chaos. All the customers rushed to a corner to watch the brawl. Since someone recognized Scott, they didn't dare to call the police. Meanwhile, Sam was anxious. When he saw Belle, he ran toward her. "You're here too, Ms. Walters. That's great. Please separate them and stop them from hurting each other."It appeared that only Belle could break the fight. After all, she had done so before. Belle was also concerned. She cried out several times, but it proved futile. As such, she dashed toward them, grabbed their wrists, and forcibly pulled them apart.Belle looked at Scott and Grayson. "Don't you find yourselves embarrassing? You're 'performing' in front of everyone like monkeys!"Simultaneously, both men wore unhappy expressions. Scott didn't reply to Belle. Instead, he glared at Grayson. "If you're truly capable, go ahead and seize all my money rather than coming up with this useless scheme!""I'm rich, so I don't care about this. If you can't
