On the tenth day after St. Patrick’s, Thalia returned to work at Sinclair & Klein.

On her first day back, the firm received an unexpected visitor.

Grace Bennett, dressed in an expensive designer suit and carrying a high–end handbag, made a conspicuous entrance into Sinclair & Klein, heading straight for Thalia’s office.

The office door wasn’t locked, and Grace walked in without knocking.

Thalia was on the phone. Looking up to see Grace’s uninvited presence, she frowned slightly.

“Let’s leave it there for now. Something’s come up–I’ll call you back.”

Grace sat on the sofa with an air of entitlement, casually placing her handbag beside her, surveying Thalia’s office. “This place is frightfully small. You call this an office?”

Thalia hung up and looked at her, expressionless. “What are you doing here?”

Grace’s lips curled into a smirk. “I forgot to tell you–I’ve invested in your law firm. I’m now one of the silent partners. Your boss, essentially.”

Thalia’s gaze remained calm, seemingly unsurprised. “And?”

Grace smiled at Thalia. “There’s no one else here today, so I’ll drop the act. Thalia, I truly despise you, you know?”

Thalia calmly picked up her water glass and took a sip. “Is that so? I’m not particularly fond of you either.”

“Huh,” Grace chuckled dismissively. “Grandmother was right–solicitors are so sharp–tongued. You can only win verbal sparring matches with me now. Before, when you were my brother’s fiancée, I called you “Thalia‘ as a courtesy. Did you actually think you were someone important?”

Grace’s eyes gleamed with triumph as she taunted, “You probably don’t know this yet, but Grandmother is arranging matchmaking meetings for Asher. You and my brother are never getting back together.”

Thalia’s hand faltered briefly, her heart feeling as though it had been stung.

She didn’t reveal this reaction to Grace, however.

Thalia looked up with a flawless smile. “That’s lovely, isn’t it? It shows that even without me in the picture, you still have no chance of marrying into the Blackwood family. Your grandmother is arranging dates for Asher, yet you’re still smiling? If I were you, I’d be crying under my duvet all day.”

The smug smile on Grace’s face instantly froze.
