Chapter 414: Grace’s Attempt To Bring Aiden

At noon, Grace arrived at the NextEra Corp headquarters in a rare edition luxury car, demanding to meet CEO Aiden Handrix.

She didn’t even have Justin’s private contact number. She had been given only one number, which connected her to his personal assistant, Noah. It was infuriating—but she had to bear it.

When Justin was informed that the daughter of businessman Collin Hartz was there to meet him, he denied the request.

She was told the CEO was busy and that she could book an appointment only if it was for business purposes.

"Do you know who you’re talking to?" Grace snapped. "I’m the daughter of the Hartz family—the richest business family in the Eastern country! You dare ask me to wait for an appointment?"

"Ms. Hartz, I’m sorry," the security head, Trevor, responded, calm and firm, "but here, we follow our boss’s orders. At this hour, he’s unavailable to attend to any guests."

Grace clenched her fists as she stood from the reception couch. "I’m his fiancée—your CEO’s soon-to-be wife. And you’re asking me to book an appointment?"

Trevor, completely unaffected by her anger, replied, "Ms. Grace, Mr. Handrix is already married. We know our lady boss very well—Mrs. Natalie Handrix. There’s no way Mr. Handrix has any other fiancée."

Trying to control her temper, she shifted her tone. "Then get me today’s appointment."

"Ms. Hartz, all appointments are fully booked for the next two weeks. It’s not possible today. But I can ask the secretary to book a slot two weeks from now," Trevor replied professionally.

Grace wasn’t stupid—she could clearly see what was happening. She knew she wasn’t going to meet Aiden anymore.

Grinding her teeth, she turned to leave. Just as she stepped out of the building and walked toward her car, another vehicle passed by—and she happened to catch a glimpse of a familiar figure inside.

Aiden? She recognized Justin instantly. They said he was busy in meetings, and here he is...

Rage flared within her. I know how to make him do what I want.
