No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 387



The moment Grant dropped that bombshell, I felt like I'd been on leave for ages. Until last night, I'd been under the impression that Grant was so lenient with my schedule because Ernest was the secret powerhouse behind it all.

I cringed internally for a split second before replying, "Is it a client? I can head over right now..."

"Not a client, a woman. Dressed like she stepped out of a fairy tale, all fire and brimstone, looking like she's on a warpath to catch a cheater," Grant's always been blunt, saying whatever pops into his head.
