Chapter 181 You Followed Me

That night, Grace slept deeply all the way until noon the next day, when she finally woke up.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Grace rolled over, and the blanket sl*pped off of her. She looked around and realized that she had fallen asleep in the office last night.

“Come in!” Grace called out after she had gotten dressed.

Just as she finished, Luke entered, carrying breakfast. When he saw Grace, he said respectfully, “Good morning, Ms. Lewis.”

Grace nodded in reply, but she was still confused.

Luke hurriedly explained, “Mr. Fulton asked me to prepare this for you. I must say,

a very thoughtful person, especially when it comes to you.”

Grace blushed, a little embarrassed.

She walked over to her desk and saw a note. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

“Morning, Gracie. I got Luke to bring the breakfast over for you. Remember to eat it.” The

note ended with a smiley face.

Grace couldn’t help but smile. She felt that Xander was still young at heart.

She raised her eyebrows, looking like she was in a good mood.

After she had eaten breakfast, she finished up the details on her design. It kept her busy for the whole day.

After work, Grace left the office with her design drafts. When she drove her Porsche out, a silver Bentley on the street opposite sped up and followed her.

Grace drove onto the highway and glanced at the rearview mirror.

She couldn’t be more familiar with that license plate number.

She tightened her grip on the steering wheel and stepped on the gas, speeding up.

Behind her, Benjamin noticed that and maintained the same speed as her, keeping the distance between them constant.

Grace watched him follow her the entire way.

Finally, she turned the wheel sharply and stopped at the side of the road at a corner.

The Bentley that had been following her stopped nearby.

Grace opened the door and got out of the car. She walked over to the Bentley in annoyance and knocked on the driver’s window.

The window slowly wound down, revealing Benjamin’s side profile.

“Benjamin, why are you following me?”

Benjamin looked up at her angry expression and said, “I’m sorry about what happened that day. Celia has left Pamore University, and she’ll never touch

He blurted the words out in a rush.

Surprise flashed in Grace’s eyes, but she raised her eyebrows. “That is your personal matter, Mr. Hawkins. You don’t need to report it to me.”

The next second, Benjamin opened the car door and stood in front of her. His six–foot–tall figure made Grace seem even more petite than usual, and anyone who saw her would have the urge to protect her.

“She is an adult and needs to face the consequences of her actions.”

Grace smiled with a hint of scorn. “Mr. Hawkins, you’re also an adult. You should also have the awareness of an adult and stop bothering your ex– wife, don’t you think?”

Benjamin’s gaze darkened, and his Adam’s apple bobbed up and down.

“You and Xander … How far has your relationship progressed?”

Grace was startled by his question. “Are you following me?”

“No!”

He hadn’t followed her. He had just wanted to explain Celia’s matter to her.

He hadn’t known how to start, so he had just been waiting outside Amirate Corporation for the

past two days.

That was how he had personally seen Grace and Xander leave together.

He also knew that Xander had stayed at Amirate Corporation all night last night and had only left this morning.
