Forbidden Passion

Chapter 469 Madison Smashed Grace's Store

In less than half an hour, Ulysses came back with Grace, looking all pumped up. "Ms. Ziegler, Grace did so awesome that Vincent decided to keep her."

"For real?" Phoebe's eyes lit up, and she quickly glanced at Grace, who shyly nodded. Phoebe was stoked. "That's awesome, glad you can stay."

Grace clasped her hands, clearly excited too. "Vincent had me spar with the killer. I got a bit flustered and tripped over myself. Vincent then said it was good and decided to keep me." Phoebe and Evan exchanged looks, and Phoebe couldn't help but laugh. "Vincent is such a character."

Evan rubbed his high, straight nose and grinned. "He sure is something."

Ulysses quickly chimed in, "Grace is being too modest. Vincent said her acting was so natural, no one could tell she was acting. Everyone watching was blown away. She really nailed it." "Ulysses, it's not that big of a deal. I really did trip over myself," Grace quickly explained.

Seeing this, Phoebe finally felt relieved. "It's great you can stay. Grace, you should learn from Evan and the others. They're all pros and can teach you a lot."

"I get it, Phoebe. I'll work hard." Grace responded, a hint of determination in her voice as she unconsciously switched to calling Phoebe by her first name. Phoebe smiled and turned to Evan. "Then I'll leave Grace in your hands. Take good care of her for me."

Evan replied, "Sure, but you owe me a meal."

"I'll definitely treat you," Phoebe agreed, then turned to Grace. "When does Vincent want you to join the crew? Do you need to go back and pack your stuff?" "Vincent wants me to come to the crew tomorrow afternoon. I still need to go back to the company and report the upcoming schedule to my agent," Grace said. Phoebe nodded. "Alright, then we'll head out now."

"I'll see you out," Evan said, grabbing his military coat and following Phoebe and Grace out of the dressing room before Ulysses could say anything. Ulysses scratched his head, puzzled by Evan's keenness towards Phoebe.

Grace walked beside Phoebe, listening to her chat with Evan and realizing that their conversation was more casual than serious.
