Grace felt her body go cold. He had already misunderstood her once back in the private lounge with that client, and now this? No amount of explaining would be able to clear her name now. She

I obviously don't have feelings for you, Mr. Henderson." "Who's seen your boyfriend? How do we even know he exists? " Ethan retorted. Grace froze. Her thoughts immediately went to Ed, who might still be suffering in Levi's
