Chapter 447 "Ms. Lewis, your boyfriend has been waiting for you for a long time."
Grace's thoughts were not just empty talk; she was taking action in this direction.
A lot of things were decided at this meeting, and by the time Grace finished her work, it was well past office hours.
Grace actually had more ideas. Now that Iris was on the right track, the company had more employees, and Lily and the other key members could handle things independently. By the end of the year, Grace had even distributed some shares to the veteran employees.
The company didn't need Grace to worry too much, and she was thinking about expanding into other businesses and trying out different industries.
Like the DG Group, which had many subsidiaries in various industries, covering almost everything and excelling in each one.
She had to admire Xavier's skills and intellect. She knew she couldn't become like Xavier yet; in business, Xavier was indeed her goal.
She had previously studied finance and made a lot of money through investments. Now, she wanted to start her own investment company as a trial.
However, when it came to actual action, Grace encountered many difficulties.
After the meeting, Grace returned to her office and continued working, showing no intention of leaving.
At this moment, the receptionist knocked on Grace's office door: "Ms. Lewis, aren't you leaving? Your boyfriend has been waiting for you for a long time."
Grace looked up: "Boyfriend?"
Since when did she have a boyfriend?
"Yes, a very handsome man. Ms. Lewis, I fully support you two!"
They had always thought Grace's beauty was internal rather than external. Now they realized how shallow they were; Grace was actually very beautiful, even more so than TV stars—truly a hidden gem!
Grace's heart skipped a beat. Could it be Xavier?
Xavier had been acting crazy lately, so it was possible he would do something like this.
"Where is he?"
"In the lounge."
"I see." Grace finally put down her work and walked towards the lounge.
When she opened the lounge door, it was indeed Xavier inside.
It wasn't surprising at all. Grace didn't know what Xavier was up to: "Xavier, are you that free?"
"Very free."
Hearing this from Xavier, the president of the DG Group, was not convincing at all. If Mason and the other executives heard it, they would probably cry and beg Xavier to come back to work!
"If you're so free, go find a job. Stop hanging around me!"
Xavier said, "I was thinking the same. Does Iris have any openings? I'll take a $2,000 salary, no other benefits required, as long as I can see Ms. Lewis every day."
Grace was silent.
"No, we only hire security guards!"
"Security guard works for me." Xavier didn't mind at all, as long as he could be close to Grace.
Grace was silent.
"Are you crazy? I'll call security to throw you out." She thought she should put up a sign in the company: "No entry for Xavier and dogs!"
"Wait, I'm here for a legitimate reason." Xavier stopped Grace.
"What legitimate reason?"
Xavier opened the food containers he brought, "I brought you some food. Try it; it won't taste bad this time."
"I've already eaten," Grace said.
In reality, after a whole day of work, Grace had only eaten a few bites of Xavier's food in the morning and hadn't had much else. When busy, she really lost track of time.
"I asked your colleagues; you haven't eaten anything today. You're not alone now. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the baby. The baby must be hungry, too."
Xavier opened the soup he had spent the whole afternoon making.
Xavier scooped some with a spoon and brought it to Grace's lips, speaking in a coaxing tone: "Open your mouth, just one sip, okay? Try the taste. If you don't like it, I'll get you something else."
"I'm not hungry, and the baby doesn't want to eat either. Besides, Xavier, this is my child, not yours. What you're doing won't move me, and it won't move the baby either," Grace said coldly.
At the same time, she was afraid that if Xavier showed up a few more times, she might really soften.
"I'm not doing this to move you. I know you haven't eaten and want you to have a few bites. I'm not caring for you just because of the baby," Xavier explained, afraid Grace would misunderstand.
"If you don't want to see me, that's fine. I'll leave now, but I hope you eat more."
Looking at Grace, he felt she had lost weight.
Xavier didn't say anything more and really left the lounge.
Seeing Xavier so aggrieved and submissive made Grace wonder if she was being too harsh, too mean.
Looking at the food, Grace sat down, picked up the utensils, and tasted it.
The taste was indeed much better. Did Xavier really make this? How could it taste so different from the morning?
Grace originally didn't feel very hungry, but the aroma of the food attracted her, and now she felt her stomach was empty.
Grace ate a little and then returned to her office to continue working.
Xavier only left the company but was still waiting outside. Most of the employees had already left, but Grace's office light was still on.
Xavier called Mason, asking him to contact Lily to see if she needed any help and to teach her.
Although she had grown quickly and learned a lot from Grace, it was not enough for a professional secretary or assistant.
Mason knew a lot and could teach her more, helping Grace share the burden.
Mason was silent.
Xavier's pursuit of Grace even required his assistance.
Lily was still in the office, facing some difficulties. She had looked up a lot of information but still didn't know how to handle it.
She had thought about calling Grace but knew Grace was also very busy, so she tried to figure it out herself.
Unexpectedly, she received a call from Mason at this time.
"Mr. Clark! Can I ask you a question?" Lily's excited voice came through the phone. Mason hadn't heard such enthusiasm in a long time.
Working for a long time often made people feel tired, even in a job they liked. But Lily was still so passionate.
"Sure," Mason replied.
Lily asked her question. Mason, with his vast experience, found her questions easy.
However, he didn't directly give her the answers but guided her thinking in the right direction.
Grace was the last to leave the company. She turned off her computer and lights and left the office, only to find that Xavier was still there.
His tall figure was leaning there, as if he had been waiting for her all along.
