Chapter 751 A Blessing in Disguise 2
"Grace, back to the point, you should be prepared. Invitations for movies, TV shows, variety shows, endorsements... they've all come in, and it's only been one day. There will probably be even more invitations in a week."
"I've turned down some ordinary projects, but there are many excellent ones. I'll organize the information and send it to your email. You can take a look and choose the best ones, picking those you truly like and are interested in."
Grace blinked and deliberately asked, "Linda, does that mean I can only choose the ones I'm interested in?"
"Of course not, you have to consider commercial interests. Grace, you need to have a clear understanding that you are now a star, a celebrity," Linda repeated in frustration.
"So you must have unparalleled commercial value. Only then can you survive in this industry for a long time and develop better."
Suddenly, a cold response came to Linda's ear, "Why wouldn't my girlfriend survive long? Linda, watch your words."
Linda fell silent.
After realizing what had happened, Linda immediately held the phone far away from herself.
How could she be so unlucky today, saying those words and being overheard by Quentin, who bluntly refuted her.
Why didn't Grace remind her that Quentin was around?
If she had known, she wouldn't have been so bold.
Although it was nothing serious, Linda usually interacted with Grace like this, but Quentin was very protective of Grace and wouldn't let anyone say anything bad about her.
Two minutes later, when Grace's voice came through the phone, Linda put it back to her ear.
"By the way, Linda, if there are some good projects, please help introduce them to Beth's agent."
Although surprised, Linda quickly understood.
After all, Grace was a kind-hearted and beautiful woman!
Of course, Grace was also ruthless towards scum like Marlon.
After hanging up the phone, Grace leaned against Quentin, enjoying him drying her hair.
"Why help Beth?" he asked.
"Actually, I'm not that kind-hearted to forgive someone who hurt me, but Beth is a bit special. Maybe it's because we have similar life experiences!"
Quentin's breath suddenly turned cold.
He almost gritted his teeth as he spoke, "Similar life experiences? Say that again, how am I like scum like Marlon?"
Knowing he misunderstood, Grace immediately explained, "I wasn't talking about that, but her childhood experiences, which are very similar to mine."
Mentioning her childhood, her eyes couldn't help but lower.
Her long eyelashes drooped, as if covering all her thoughts.
When Quentin's hand covered hers, it trembled slightly.
He had found very little information about Grace's childhood.
Because it was a pain in Grace's heart, he had never asked her about it.
He was waiting, waiting for the day she was willing to tell him.
"Your hair is dry. I've had a long day, let's go to bed early."
After saying this, Quentin turned off the light and held her in his arms.
Lying in bed, looking at the empty darkness, Grace suddenly took a deep breath.
'Thank you, Qurntin, for not asking, for not pressing, and for giving me enough space.' Grace thought.
Those unbearable memories, those pains, she hadn't figured out how to talk about them.
If it weren't for being reminded again and again over the years, trapped by memories and countless dreams, she might have naively thought she had forgotten.
But she could never forget.
For the next week, Grace followed Linda's schedule and was very busy.
The one left alone at home became Quentin.
Since he would be alone at home anyway, why stay there alone?
So, Quentin thought of a good way to pass the time, which was working overtime.
After a week of continuous overtime, Willie was already feeling very sad.
"Mr. Taft, it's already ten o'clock. You haven't rested well this week, do you want to..."
Quentin looked up, "It is a bit late, you can go home."
Willie was about to be happy.
Quentin added, "I'll stay for another hour."
Willie was stunned on the spot.
Quentin wasn't leaving; how could he dare to leave alone?
Half a month later, Willie finally got some great news from Linda.
"Mr. Taft!" Willie reminded us, as usual.
Quentin glanced at his watch. "It's not ten o'clock yet, your reminder is wrong."
"Mr. Taft, I just got news from Linda that Ms. Morgan's event tonight was canceled, so she should be..." Willie hadn't finished speaking.
Quentin turned off the computer, and he stood up straight, "I'm off work, you all can do as you please."
Watching Quentin get on the elevator, Willie finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he quickly ran to inform everyone in the company, Everyone, Mr. Taft has left, you can do as you please.
"Thank you, Mr. Taft!"
After almost a month of overtime, everyone was numb to it.
Fortunately, Quentin wasn't too heartless and gave them triple overtime pay.
Otherwise, they would have been exhausted.
When Quentin got home, it was not yet seven o'clock.
On the way, he had already called someone to prepare Grace's favorite dishes.
To give her a surprise, he didn't call to rush her.
He watched as the time went from seven to eight, and Grace hadn't come back.
He couldn't wait any longer and called her.
To his surprise, Grace's phone was turned off.
Frowning, he called Linda.
"When did your afternoon event end?"
Sensing Quentin's bad tone, Linda became alert and answered respectfully, "It ended at six."
"It's been two hours, and Grace hasn't come home yet."
Linda realized the seriousness of the problem but immediately reassured him.
"Mr. Taft, don't worry, when the event ended, Grace mentioned she was tired recently, her back pain was acting up, and she wanted to get a spa. I'll call and check."
"Let me know after you check."
However, Quentin didn't wait for Linda's reply.
He just received a call from an unknown number.
In a bad mood, he hung up.
But the call kept coming back persistently.
"Hello," Quentin answered impatiently.
As soon as he connected, Marlon's voice came through, "Mr. Taft, Grace is in my hands now."
"Marlon, is that you?"
Quentin gripped the phone, his whole body wrapped in a deep, chilling aura.
"Mr. Taft, you sound surprised. I went through a lot to escape to this moment. Aren't you curious about how Grace is doing now?"
