Chapter 217
“Thank you! Thank you!” Grace was grateful.
Grace came out from the back door of the kitchen. She hailed a taxi and left quickly.
Brian suddenly paused after he ate a few ravioli. When he realized something was wrong, he put down his fork and strode toward the washroom.
The waiter had been paying attention to Brian since Grace left. He hurriedly blocked Brian’s way when he saw Brian go to the ladies’ room.
“Sir, it is the ladies’ room. Is this a good idea?”
Brian pushed the waiter away. “Get out of the way!”
The waiter stubbornly went forward to stop him again. “Sir, you look so well-dressed. It’s not good to work in a pyramid scheme. She’s still pregnant. Don’t ruin her!”
Brian frowned. “What pyramid scheme? How did I ruin her? Watch your language!”
The waiter thought he had hit the nail on the head. “How dare you say that you’re not in a pyramid scheme? If you’re not, why did you have to run into the washroom to catch her? If you’re friends, call her in front of me. If you’re not, we’ll call the police!”
Brian was so angry that he was speechless. What kind of people were in Jacksonville? All of them were threatening him to call the police and arrest him!
He didn’t even have her number. How could he call her?
“I repeat. I’m going to go inside and find someone!” said Brian, staring at the waiter gloomily.
The waiter was shocked by his gaze. “You, you… Wait a moment. I’ll get someone to go in and see if there’s anyone else inside.”
Then, the waiter called a cleaning lady into the ladies’ room. He went inside and searched the cubicles when no one else was inside.
There was no one in the washroom. The washroom had no windows, so Grace hadn’t used the bathroom to go away.
Brian suddenly looked at the waiter coldly.
“She told you that I was a pyramid dealer and asked you to help her escape?”
The waiter was a little intimidated by his gaze. “Ye… yes.”
Brian was so angry that his chest heaved up and down.
Grace Sherman! You even learned to spread rumors everywhere!’ thought Brian.
Brian paid and left the restaurant without eating any more ravioli. He drove back to Grace’s flower shop at full speed.
Although Brian knew she wouldn’t be in the flower shop, he could only go to her shop and wait for her.
Grace called Tina at that moment. “Tina, what is the password for your home door? I have to stay at your place for a while.”
Tina gave Grace the password and asked with concern, “Miss Grace, are you alright? Has that man left?”
“I’m fine. He’ll come to the shop later. Just ignore him.”
Tina could not hold back her curiosity. “Miss Grace, who is he?”
Grace was silent for a second before saying, “He’s the one who doesn’t want my child to be born.”
Tina’s mouth was wide open in shock. “He is evil! If he dares to come to the shop, I’ll give him a piece of my mind!”
Grace laughed out loud. “Tina, you leave him alone. He’s not someone to be trifled with.”
“I’m not afraid of him! Don’t tell me he dares to attack me?”
Grace was afraid Tina would act on impulse, so she repeatedly reminded Tina over the phone before hanging up.
Pregnant women sleep a lot. Grace was busy until late last night, so she only wanted to sleep now.
Brian soon arrived at the shop. As expected, he only saw Tina.
Brian stepped into the shop and asked coldly, “Where is Grace?”
