Justin smiled dotingly. “It’s okay. I’m not hungry yet. I’ll just order takeout. I’ll also order one for you?
“Okay, I’ll still send you food when I have time, but I’ll be signing the contract in a few days. I won’t be able to send you food then.”
“Yeah, sure.”
On the day of the contract signing. Grace put on light makeup and wore a loose white shirt with a light blue knitted vest and a pair of loose, wide-legged pants. She exuded a youthful and artistic aura in the mirror.
S.E. had sent a driver to pick her up.
The dinner was arranged at one of the grand hotels in Capern City, and Grace arrived at 6 o’clock.
Upon her arrival, the editor-in-chief introduced her to the key figures, “Grace, meet Mr. Booth, the Director of S.E. responsible for finalizing the contract this time. Also, Mr. James and Ms. Eunice.”
Grace sat down. After everyone got to know each other, they began to discuss the contract and sign it.
Grace signed and pressed her thumb. Mr. Booth also took out the company’s seal and stamped it on Party A’s
column.
After signing the contract, Mr. Booth raised his glass. “Miss Sherman. I wish us smooth and happy cooperation in the future.”
The leaders of S.E. raised their glasses. Grace quickly stood up and glanced at the glass in front of her. It had been filled long before she arrived.
Mr. Booth saw her hesitation and asked, “Miss Sherman, what’s wrong?”
I’m sorry, I’m pregnant.”
At this moment, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open, interrupting Grace’s words. She subconsciously turned her head.
A tall and slender figure appeared at the door. Grace looked at that cold face and frowned slightly.
She pondered the suddenness of his appearance at this moment.
Just as she was feeling puzzled, Mr. Booth’s words made her mind go blank.
“Mr. Francis, you’re here. The contract has been signed. This is the author, Miss Sherman. This is our Mr. Francis.”
Grace was dumbfounded. She was stunned for a moment. “What’s his relationship with S.E?”
Her question made Mr. Booth feel a little awkward. He laughed dryly and explained, “It’s like this. S.E is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Francis Group. In other words, Mr. Francis is our big boss.” Grace was stunned by his words and looked at Brian, who was looking at her with a faint smile. He walked slowly towards her and sat down in the only empty seat beside her.
Grace’s head was buzzing. She felt like she had boarded a pirate ship, but the contract had already been signed.

She could not break it.
That was close. She had almost revealed that she was pregnant just now.
She couldn’t fathom why it was Brian once more. She suspected it was not a mere coincidence.
Grace’s thoughts were in disarray. In that moment, Brian lifted his cup and gave her a slight toast. “Miss Sherman, here’s to a fruitful collaboration.”
He raised his eyebrows at her, a smile on his lips, but Grace felt cold all over.
Seeing that she was in a daze, the editor-in-chief secretly poked her waist.
Grace came back to his senses and said with a smile and aloofness, I’m sorry, Mr. Francis. I’ve caught a cold. recently and am taking medicine. I can’t drink alcohol. I’ll use coffee as a toast to you. Thank you for giving me at chance.”
Grace picked up her cup and clinked it with his,
When Brian saw that she had finished drinking, the corners of his eyes seemed to be filled with mockery. He curled his lips evilly. “Is it serious? If it’s serious. I’ll bring you to the doctor now. Miss Sherman is sick and came to the dinner. It’s really difficult for you.”
Grace clenched his fists. “Mr. Francis is too much.”
Brian finished the wine in his glass, lit a cigarette, and took a puff from time to time.
