Chapter 1017: In your dreams!

Meanwhile, in the hospital...

The ever-grumpy Chairman Bennet had to watch Grace set up her own small office in his ward. He gazed at the stack of documents on the table beside the laptop and two other phones. She had three in total, including the one she was using right now.

"Got it," Grace uttered, shortly hanging up, only to pick up another phone to answer it.

Chairman Bennet watched this young woman for the past hour, and the more he watched, the grumpier he looked. His wrinkled face creased even more as he shook his head in disbelief.

"Alright." After saying that, Grace ended the call. She snapped her eyes to the bed and smiled. "I'm sorry for disturbing you, Chairman Bennet. Am I being too loud?"

"Yes, you are. I can't watch this show because you keep talking."

A helpless smile turned up on her face, but instead of doing something to please him, Grace rested her leg over the other, propping her elbow on her knee and smiling at Chairman Bennet.

"Chairman Bennet, are you curious about what's keeping me busy at the moment?" she asked, only to see Chairman Bennet snort.

"Why would I be curious?" he spat out. "I'm more curious about how your husband will manage."

"Hmm?"

"Women should stay home and make a home. You shouldn't be working so hard; it's your husband's job."
