Regret Came Too Late

From Grace's perspective, all she could see was Ethan pondering something in

front of the wardrobe.

When she walked out of the bathroom, she put on a pair of fluffy slippers. She

lowered her gaze to her toes, unsure how to start the conversation.

At this moment, her phone rang-it was Yasmine calling. "Grace, what's going on

between you and Ethan? Everyone is talking about it."

Yasmine was the one who had sent Grace the invitation card to tonight's banquet.

Yasmine hadn't been there, but she knew exactly what had happened.

Grace could hear some noise on Yasmine's end, and with Ethan standing at the

side, it was hard for Grace to explain. Thus, she changed the subject. "Where are

you?"

"I'm at The Obsidian," replied Yasmine.

If even Yasmine, who was in The Obsidian, had heard the news-then what about

Ed, who worked there?

This was bad.

Grace quickly hung up on Yasmine and rushed out of the bedroom into the

hallway. She called Ed, but there was no answer.
