The phone went dead, and they were still on their way to the top floor where the President's office was.

Lester said, "President, the old master says that he wants to meet you this weekend."

Heinz Jones frowned and said, "You will be representing me."

"Me?" Lester was shocked, and his face turned pale instantly. "No, sir. I don't have the courage to represent you on a blind date."

Even if he was a brave man, he would never dare go on a blind date on behalf of the President.

Heinz Jones glared at him.

Lester was stunned and only then did he realize...

He had done a grave mistake!

He shouldn't have mentioned the blind date in front of Grace Smith.

Why was the President going for a blind date if he was pursuing Miss Smith? What was he thinking?

Lester hurriedly lowered his head and did not dare to speak another word.

Heinz Jones' eyes stole a glance at Grace Smith. She stood by the corner of the elevator while holding his suit. She was also carrying a big canvas bag behind her as if she was going shopping. However, she was looking at Heinz Jones with a smile on her face.

Heinz Jones raised his eyebrows and happily looked towards Grace Smith.

She noticed his glance and smiled slightly. "Mr. Jones, the weather now is great for going out on dates."

She really had the guts to make this comment!

Heinz Jones narrowed his eyes and snorted, "Who told you that I'm going on a blind date?"

Grace smiled and sighed. "Your parents are worried about your marriage more than you are. It's normal." Heinz frowned.

This woman didn't care for him at all.

"Ding-dong." The elevator's door opened.

Heinz Jones walked out immediately.

Lester followed in his footsteps. Grace too, had no choice but to follow him as if she was his assistant.

They walked through a wide corridor and went straight to the entrance to the President's office.

A cleaner held open the door and Heinz Jones went in. They were people glancing at Grace as she walked in.

She ignored them calmly.

When she arrived at the office, she hung his suit carefully on the clothes rack.

As soon as she turned around, she saw that Heinz Jones was already sitting down on his large armchair, observing her from across his working desk.

Grace Smith came to him and asked, "Mr. Jones, where should I do my work?"

He did not reply her, but he pointed to a corner and spoke to Lester, "Lester, prepare a working desk for Miss Smith at that corner."

"Yes, President." Lester immediately left to arrange this.

Grace Smith could only stand around and wait for Lester.

"Grace." Heinz Jones glanced at her and ordered, "Let's discuss some rules."

"Sure, Mr. Jones." Grace quickly nodded. "Go ahead."

"In the first three days, please don't talk or ask any questions in my office without my consent." Heinz Jones said.

Grace thought for a moment and agreed. "Okay."

"After three days, you may ask work-related questions." Heinz added.

"Understood." Grace said.

"After a week, we'll replace a time to compile all your questions and you can freely ask me those questions during that time. You should let me review your draft before you send it to your editor." Heinz continued. "No problem," Grace Smith said. "Don't worry, I won't ask any questions regarding your privacy or against your wishes. I'm here only to hear your success story."

"Alright." Heinz nodded. "That's sounds great."

Lester moved the furniture in with the help of his

subordinates.

Grace's desk was placed directly opposite Heinz Jones's desk. He could easily see Grace's face whenever he lifted his head.

After the arrangement was done, Grace put her stationery and notebook neatly on the working desk.

"Grace, there will be guests coming later. Try not to create a scene." Heinz ordered.

"Got it." Grace nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Jones. I can excuse myself from this room if you want me to do so."

"It's fine." Heinz said, "You don't have to go out."

Everything was settled.

It was then ten o'clock.

Simon Brown had come to see Heinz Jones.

Lester entered the door and reported, "President, Mr. Simon Brown had arrived."

Heinz raised his eyes and looked towards Grace Smith, who was sitting opposite him. He then said, "Invite him in."

Grace's heart skipped a beat when she heard Simon Brown's name.

Yesterday, Heinz Jones had just mentioned Simon Brown. She heard the name once again today. Was it all a coincidence?

She looked up and subconsciously stared at Heinz Jones.

Heinz Jones was looking at the door calmly.

Maybe it was not the Simon Brown that she knew.

She hesitated and thought that she must have been thinking too much. It was impossible for Heinz Jones to know that she was acquainted with Simon Brown. She lowered her head, opened her notebook, and sorted out the questions she might have for the interview.

"Mr. Jones.1 Simon Brown walked in and greeted him politely from a distance. "I didn't expect you to be free today. I hope I'm on time." Simon Brown said. "You're on time." Heinz Jones said in a deep voice. "Please take a seat."

Simon Brown entered his office while Heinz Jones walked over from his desk and sat down on the sofa.

Simon took a seat right opposite Heinz.

As Simon settled himself on his seat, he was stunned when he saw Grace Smith sitting at the desk around the corner.

He stared at her, and then asked Heinz Jones, "Mr. Jones, when did you start having an assistant in your office?"

"Don't worry about her, Mr. Brown. Everything is as usual." Heinz replied calmly.

Simon's face had darkened as he glances at the both of them again.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "What a coincidence. The lady there is an old friend of mine."

Heinz Jones didn't expect that Simon Brown would admit that he knew Grace Smith so quickly. "Really? What a coincidence! When and how did the both of you knw each other?" Simon replied slowly, "We were in a relationship before."

Grace Smith looked at the despicable Simon Brown quietly. She didn't expect that Simon Brown would admit to their relationship so blatantly.

However, she strictly followed the rules that Heinz had just implemented.

She would not ask or say anything without his permission.

Therefore, she only stared back at Simon Brown. She could not hide the feeling of disgust in her eyes.

Heinz Jones glanced at Grace and asked, "Miss Smith, were you in a relationship with Mr. Brown?"

Upon hearing his question, Grace replied coldly, "Mr. Jones, Mr. Brown is indeed an old friend of mine. We were close, but I don't remember being in a relationship with him." Simon's eyes flashed menacingly and he said, "Well, we almost got married."

Grace Smith glared at himcoldly.

Heinz Jones frowned and asked, "Grace, have you almost became Mr. Brown's wife?"

"Haha, how is that possible?" Grace Smith smile coldly and asked. "Don't tease me, Mr. Jones. How could I be worthy of him?"
