MainNovelChapter 1102:
Alani, quick to catch Gracie’s real motive, answered evenly, “Yes, Mr. Mitchell just askedto take care of it.
Secretaries likeoften handle these sorts of errands.”
That answer piqued Gracie’s interest. She wanted to bring lunch to Belen, seeing it as a perfect opportunity
since she had nothing else to do anyway.
“How about lettingtag along?” Gracie suggested smoothly. “I was planning to visit Ethan's grandmother
anyway. If you pick up the lunch, | could deliver it right to her. Otherwise, it might get cold.”
Alani felt an immediate sense of unease—Gracie was clearly trying to hijack her task. If she let her do it, how
would she explain things to Ethan?
Did Ethan have any idea what Gracie was trying to do?
Would he approve of Gracie getting too close to his family?
Based on everything she knew about Ethan, Alani doubted he'd approve of Gracie getting too familiar with his
family.
A polite refusal followed, Alani’s tone gentle but firm. “I'm afraid that won't work, Ms. Wilson. Mr. Mitchell
specifically askedto bring the food straight to him, and he’s planning to bring it to his grandmother at lunch.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf I pass it to you, what will he have to give her? That could cause trouble, and you know Mr. Mitchell won't be
happy about that.”
Her answer was wrapped in a polite smile.
Frustration flickered in Gracie’s eyes, her arrogant side emerging as she retorted, “You're just a secretary. Who
are you to turndown? Aren't you worried that | will make you lose your job just by saying a few words to
Ethan?”
A wave of frustration washed over Alani, but she kept her feelings tightly in check. She knew all too well that
crossing Gracie could spell trouble, especially if she went running to Ethan with complaints.
Unlike Brenna, who wouldn't hesitate to challenge Gracie, Alani lacked both the nerve and the special place in
Ethan's life to do that. If Gracie complained to Ethan about her, she could easily lose her job.
Feigning cooperation, Alani said, “Alright. So, you'd rather | skip the errand and leave lunch for Mr. Mitchell's
grandmother to you?”
She agreed on the surface, though she wasn’t happy about being bullied by Gracie and wanted to set a trap for
her.

“I don’t know where that restaurant is or what Ethan’s grandmother prefers. You're coming along with me, end of
discussion.” Gracie’s tone brooked no argument, and she blamed Alani for pushing her to this edge.
Alani was unhappy but had no choice but to comply.
Annoyance bubbling inside, she fired off a quick message to Lorna, venting about being cornered by Gracie.
Despite everything, Alani led the way, guiding Gracie to the restaurant as requested.
