    The old wound on her leg hadn''t healed. During this long walk, she fell multiple times because she couldn''t see clearly in the dark, leaving her covered in mud stains. Her legs were also rubbed with blisters and After removing her high heels, she limped into the living room. She was about to take a seat and properly


    tend to her wounds when a sneer erupted from the front.


    "You deliberately disturbed me and Livia. Do you think it''s funny?"


    Grace raised her head and met Antonio''s angry gaze.


    She stood up, holding her sore waist, lowered her head, and spoke in a t and respectful tone. "Mr. Kaufman, I really came to deliver the document. I didn''t know how important Ms. Fischer is to you. I''m sorry." After saying that, she handed him the document that she had been holding and waiting for him to sign all day.


    Antonio grabbed it expressionlessly, opened it, and tore the pages into pieces in front of her.


    Then he raised the stic shell and smashed it directly on her.


    "I don''t tolerate people with ulterior motives around me. If you repeat what you did today, you''ll be fired!"


    After saying that, he mmed the door and left without looking back.


    Looking at the scraps of paper scattered on the floor, Grace slowly squatted down against the coffee table.


    She took out a tissue and wiped the blood off her legs before bursting outughing.


    She thought. "Repeat? It won''t happen again."


    She was going to be gone in just ten days.

    "I''m leaving soon. I won''t get the money anyway. Forget it."


    Upon hearing this, everyone in the pantry gathered around and started asking questions.

    "Yeah, you''ve worked for him for so many years. Doesn''t he even try to keep you?"


    Grace smiled, ncing at everyone, her tone extremely sincere.


    "That''s right. I''ll be gone in nine days. See you again if fate allows."
