Chapter 213
Grace came to Jacksonville by taxi. She did not leave any of her identity information throughout the journey.
Therefore, it would be difficult for Brian to find Grace even if he could confirm she was not dead.
Brian had made numerous trips to Seefer City. He even searched for the surrounding cities centered around Seefer City but still had no news of Grace.
He did not know why he was so obsessed with finding her. Perhaps it was because of the child she was carrying. He wanted to find out who the child belonged to.
In the office.
After reporting the day’s itinerary to Brian, Camren said, “Mr. Francis, we’re going to Jacksonville next Tuesday to participate in the bidding for the sewage treatment plant project in the Petanic.” “Got it.” Brian rubbed the corners of his eyes tiredly.

The phone rang.
Grace, busy outside the shop, walked through the flowers to the cashier to answer the phone.
“Hello, I need to customize the bouquets for a venue. The address is on the third floor of the municipal square in Petanic.”
“Okay. I’ll come over and take a look at the venue immediately.”
Grace hung up the phone and said to the girl spraying water on the flowers and plants outside, “Tina, I’ll go to the municipal square. You watch the shop, please.”
Tina looked at Grace with the kettle in her hands. “Why did you run so far with such a big belly? I’ll go with you.”
Then she put down the kettle and moved all the potted plants outside into the shop.
Grace laughed. “I can do it alone.”
Tina did not allow anyone to interfere. “No, there’s no room for negotiation. We can earn less money, but your safety is all that matters!”
Tina quickly tidied up the shop and locked the door.
Tina went to the parking lot and drove the car out. They two got into the car together.
Although Grace’s belly was getting big, she was not bulky. She walked with a lightness that didn’t make her look pregnant.
That’s why Tina always laughed at her for not being like a pregnant woman.
It was nearly an hour’s drive from their shop to Petanic, the closest district to Capern City on the border between Capern City and Jacksonville.
Grace arrived at the destination. Tina parked the car and went forward to hold her hand as they went up to the third floor. Tables and chairs were being arranged in the hall.
The staff in charge of planning came to talk to her. After explaining the general requirements, Grace inspected the venue.
Back in the shop, Grace and Tina began to prepare the flowers for the venue in three days.
Grace only hired Tina as an employee. Whenever there was a festival or a wedding, they often were busy until one or two o’clock in the morning. They would wake up early to send flowers the following morning.
The flowers for the venue this time were not too much. Grace and Tina worked until almost midnight.
Tina washed her hands and told Grace, “Miss Grace, I’m going home. Be careful when you go upstairs later.”
“Okay. Driving careful.”
Grace closed the shop, took a shower downstairs, and went to the second floor to sleep.
Grace and Tina take the flowers over to decorate the venue early the following morning.
The flowers in Grace’s hands seemed to add a hint of brightness to her smooth skin. She was indescribably beautiful.
Tina jumped before her and said with a cheeky smile, “Miss Grace, you look great with flowers. You would look amazing in a wedding dress with a bouquet!”
Grace thought of something, and her expression froze slightly.
Tina sensed Grace’s change and knew that she had said something wrong. Tina spat.
“Miss Grace, you look great in anything!”
Grace smiled. “You’re the one who talks nonsense.”
Grace and Tina drove back to the shop. Grace received a call just as they were about to rest for a while.
