Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 605

Just a short walk away, no need to drive or make reservations in advance. Simple and convenient, plus the food here is pretty decent." Corley let out a noncommittal grunt, his belief in her reasoning unclear, merely commenting, "Mr. Sherwood, you're quite the lucky man."

Always finding someone "thoughtful."

Grace's smile remained as she scanned the room, "Oh! Mr. Reynolds is here too? Looks like it's all familiar faces around. Why don't we all join up?"

With enthusiasm, she made the suggestion, then turned to Murray, "Sound good?"

Murray responded with a casual, "I'm cool with whatever. If you're up for it, then it's a yes from me."

Grace looked puzzled.

Halley announced, "All yours, have a seat."

Grace was speechless.
