MainNovelChapter 1099:
She decided to wait until the chaos at hbecmore noticeable before calling him.
The next morning, she went to work as usual.
Having only joined the company recently, she hadn't been assigned any projects yet, so she often stopped by
Ethan's office to offer her help.
Ethan arrived just after nine-thirty today.
Upon seeing Gracie, Ethan noticed that her mood was down. “What's gotten you so down?”
Gracie managed a small smile and carefully chose her words. “Yesterday, | visited the hospital with your mom to
see your grandmother. She asked about my background, and I didn’t want to tell her about my massive debt, so |
said my family went broke, but I still have enough savings to get by.”
Trying to look pitiful, she added, “I just don’t want her to think less of me. Could you keep my debt a secret from
her? Please, Ethan?”
“Of course,” Ethan said without hesitation, inwardly annoyed by Elsa's tendency to dig into his employees’
personal lives. “I'll keep it a secret.”
“Thank you, Ethan. | don’t know how to thank you enough. You gavea job when | was in a tough spot, and
I'm so grateful,” Gracie said, her smile warm and genuine.
After a brief pause, she said, “You know what I'm capable of. I'm ready to take on projects. Could you assign me
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsomething?”
Ethan hesitated. There weren't any new projects available, and the current ones were already assigned.
“Can’t you givethe venture capital project? | know | can handle it, Ethan. Trust me,” Gracie said in a firm
tone.
But Ethan was reluctant to give her that project, as it was vital for the company’s success.
“Why don’t you take on the project in Plomond? There's a real estate project there that needs someone to lead
it,” he suggested, thinking this might also address Brenna’s concerns about him working closely with Gracie. He
wanted to send Gracie away for a while by doing this.
“No, I'd rather not leave the city. | just want to stick around you. I'm still new to the company and worried the
team won't takeseriously,” Gracie quickly replied.
Gracie’s voice trembled with worry. “Pretty much everyone at the company already knows about my debts,
especially the managers. Even people at Plomond have heard about it. Ethan, | just can’t bring myself to leave
this city until I've paid off what | owe. Please don’t makego yet, okay?”
