Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 605

Before Murray could get a word in, Grace, flashing a smile, took the initiative, "I picked this spot, thinking it's close to campus. 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."

"Uh-" Halley suddenly chimed in, "Sorry, but we just finished eating."

Grace looked puzzled.

"Do you want to take our table? Perfect timing. Come on, come on..." he said, promptly standing up and grabbing his jacket.

Owen Reynolds, Murray, and Roseanne also stood up, making room for the two.

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

Grace was speechless.

So was Murray.

Corley declared, "I'll go settle the bill."
