After Grace sent Jasper back, she called Ed, but he didn't pick up. She was worried that he was once again sick, so she sent him a few messages.
He used to reply immediately to her texts, but this time, he replied only after half an hour.
"I was busy. Something was up."
Grace quickly gave him a call. Even though he picked up the call, she could tell there was something strange about his voice. "Ed, are you sick?"
"No, the Obsidian has just been busy lately."
She wasn't familiar with the place. She had originally thought that the employees would have days off, like any other company.
Taking a deep breath, she saw that she had arrived at the grocery store.
"Are you still having dinner with me tomorrow night, then? I'm not sure if you have time."
The other end of the call went silent. Then, he sighed. "Let's play it by ear. I'm really busy at the moment."
A fleeting disappointment flashed across her eyes. Now that Liam had Andrea by his side and Ed wasn't free, she would probably have to spend Christmas by herself.
"Okay then. Go ahead and take care of whatever's on your end. Let me know if you change your mind."
After hanging up, she drove straight home. Since she was going to spend Christmas alone, she didn't need anything else.
Just as she was about to leave her car, her gaze fell on the bottle in the back seat. A doctor had given her that bottle of supplements and told her that she could take them.
She had completely forgotten about it. So, she took it with her and went upstairs.
After setting the bottle in the kitchen, she went into her room, ready to take a shower.
It was a pity that he had a weakness.
Bringing up the old man was like his "get out of jail" card. Now that they were moving into a new year, Ethan didn't want to cause trouble.
Ethan faintly raised his gaze, but his focus was not on Dylan.
Dylan felt humiliated. He had regarded Ethan as a competitor his whole life, but Ethan didn't even care.
It wasn't fair. How could a man with a weakness have such a high position?
Ethan passed the flash drive to Tim, who was standing beside him. "Deal with this."
