Grace Smith's heart skipped a beat. She walked towards the man.

'What was Heinz Jones doing at the newspaper office so early in the morning?' She wondered to herself. Heinz Jones smirked at Grace. Grace felt that Heinz couldn't wait to sleep with her. He was so terrifying. Grace pursed her lips and said, "What are you doing here so early in the morning?"

Heinz looked at her and said, "I'm not here to see you."

Grace was baffled. She asked, "Really? Who are you here to see then?"

"I'm looking for your chief editor." Heinz said in a deep voice.

Grace was stunned. She said, "Well, I'll head inside then since I am not the person you're looking for."

She said as she walked past him and ignored him.

Heinz was consumed by anger when she ignored him.

"Stop!" Heinz shouted.

Grace could only look at him and repeated his previous statement, "You said you're here to look for the chief editor, right?" "Yup." Heinz responded. "Please go in and wait for her." Grace said.

"Hermione isn't in yet," Heinz said. Then, he looked at his watch and said, "There's no one in your newspaper office. You're the first to arrive." Grace nodded her head and said, "Yes, I am slightly early today. Let's go in and wait for the chief editor together."

"Now, that sounds like a good plan," Heinz said. Then, he walked into the office with Grace.

"Please have a seat. They'll be here soon." Grace offered.

She then quickly put her bag down.

Heinz walked over and sat down in her seat.

Grace turned around and saw him sitting on her seat. He was staring at her. He looked like he was planning to do something in his mind.

However, Grace glanced at him and didn't take it seriously. She asked, "Why are you looking for our chief editor?"

Heinz looked at her coldly, "You abruptly hung up the phone last night. How dare you treat me like this?"

Grace was shocked. She offered him an explanation. "I told you I was busy last night."

Heinz looked at her calmly and said, "Oh, I forgot you're a very busy woman. Your sister needs to be fed and all. You're becoming more and more like her parent."

His tone was too harsh.

Grace pursed her lips and said impatiently, "That's

my sister."

Well, he was technically right. She was a parent and she was indeed playing the role of both a mother and a father. Alice was also helping her to raise her kid.

Her son's biological father has absolutely no clue about what's going on. He knows nothing!

She pursed her lips and said, "I really won't talk to you if all you're going to do is bring up last night's topic."

Heinz wanted to say something unpleasant. However, he suddenly remembered what Jensen had told him. He said, "Well, what I am trying to say is - give me a chance to treat her like my own sister as well." Grace couldn't believe what she had heard. She looked at Heinz sceptically.

It made him crazy when he saw that she didn't believe him. He said, "Why are you looking at me like this? I'm serious. I want to help take care of your sister together."

"Heinz. What do you mean?" Grace stood at the opposite side of the table and looked at him. She still couldn't believe it.

Heinz was a little annoyed. He said, "I'm serious."

Grace frowned and said, "I'm surprised to hear you say that. But to be frank, I don't believe you."

Heinz was speechless.

Grace said, "Are you blaming my sister for slandering you? You're only saying that because you want revenge?"

"Do I look like a person who would hold a grudge?" He wanted to use her sister to win her heart over. He never thought that Grace wouldn't believe him. Grace nodded her head and said seriously, "Yup. I know you. You'll seek revenge even for the pettiest matter."

"You-"

Grace smiled at him and said, "Please don't be angry. I know my sister slandered you and I'm sorry. Please don't seek vengeance on her, okay?" Heinz gritted his teeth.

He pursed his lips and stared at her angrily.

"Who wants to take revenge on your sister? I'm just trying to do something nice for you. Can't you see that?" He retorted.

Grace was stunned. She nodded her head and muttered, "But you must have some kind of intention."

Heinz was speechless.

He had been wronged.

Did Grace really think that way?

He was just trying to win over Grace's heart by treating the people closest to her well.

However, Grace had misunderstood him.

He had been wronged.

Grace saw that Heinz didn't say anything. He didn't even defend himself. She smiled as if she knew that she was right.

Heinz was extremely unhappy now.

"Grace." "Yes?"

"I really want you. If you're willing to do it, I'll pounce on you right now!"

Grace blushed and hissed in a low voice, "We're here in the office. What are you talking about?"

Heinz chuckled and said with a little frustration, "Ah, forget it. I have never given you a good impression. Why do I have to hold on?"

Grace looked at him confusingly and asked, "What are you trying to say?"

All of a sudden, a voice came from outside.

Grace and Heinz looked at the door at the same time. They saw Chuck Dorris coming in. Chuck greeted Grace with a smile when he saw Grace, "Grace, you're early today!"

"Yea."

"By the way, the chief editor told us during the meeting that you met someone with malicious intentions in an interview. She has reguested for a lawyer to seek justice for you." Grace was stunned. Hermione didn't mention anything at all to her.

Chuck came over quickly. He was shocked when he saw Heinz was there.

"Mr....Mr. Jones?"

Heinz glanced at him and said nothing.

Chuck was terrified of him. He quickly rushed to his seat immediately.

However, he still felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles after going back to his seat. He got up and smiled awkwardly at Grace. He said, "I'm going to the toilet." Heinz said coldly, "Why do you have to report to Grace when you want to use the restroom? Is she your direct superior?"

Chuck smiled awkwardly.

He was terrified.

Grace stopped him immediately, "Heinz."

Heinz snorted.

He had to mark his territory. He had to make sure other men stayed away from her. They shouldn't have any relationship with her.

Chuck quickly dashed to the restroom.

Grace wanted to scold him. However, Hermione Lowe came in.

She said as soon as she saw Heinz, "Mr. Jones, you are really here."

"Of course." Heinz stood up slowly and replied.

Hermione stood there and looked at them. She said, "Should we talk in the conference room or in my office?" "The conference room, please." Heinz said. "Okay. Grace, hurry up. Take your notebook with you. I need you to take some notes down. Please don't let Mr. Jones wait for too long." Hermione said.

"I need to go in too?" Grace was stunned.

"Of course, this is part of your job." Hermione said.

Grace looked at Heinz. He pretended to be here for work.

Grace felt he did it on purpose. Although he was here in the office to look for Editor Lowe, Grace could tell that he had an ulterior motive.
