Louise turned around and looked at Grace’s desk. She asked in surprise, “Grace didn’t come again? Did she take leave?”
Erin shook her head. “No, she always leaves for no reason. The last time, she heard that her child was sick, so she left early. I called Mr. Francis to tell him about this, but Mr. Francis didn’t punish her because she’s a mother, but she’s becoming too much. Now, she’s skipping work without even saying anything. Work started a long time ago today.”
Erin was still complaining about Grace and did not notice that Louise’s expression was already terrible.
Louise thought, ‘So it was this idiot who told Brian that Grace had left early! That was why Brian went to look for Grace instead of going to register marriage with me.’
Although Louise’s expression was ugly, Erin was still talking. “Mr. Francis, I think Grace should be taught a lesson. Otherwise, she will think that she can do whatever she wants!”
Louise clenched her fists and tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart. She forced a smile and looked at her. “It’s fine, Erin. I know you’re a fair and serious leader, but accidents always happen. She might have gotten into an accident today.” Erin said, “But… Mrs. Francis, don’t you…”
Louise said, “Erin, just treat it as absenteeism. There’s no need to make a fuss over such a small matter to Mr. Francis. Do you think Mr. Francis is very free every day? How can he have the time to care about the employees’ matters? Just deal with it as you should.” Efin looked at her in a daze. She thought, ‘Why is Louise so strange today? Why is she letting Grace off this time?’
Although she was puzzled, she did not ask further. After all, she did not have much of a grudge against Grace.
The reason why she was mean to Grace was because she wanted to please Louise. After all, Louise hated Grace the most. Since Louise did not care anymore, she would not interfere.
However, even though she did not say anything, Mr. Francis came looking for her.
Brian sent an announcement to the group chat to gather all the members of the Development Department for a meeting. It was a discussion about the new project.
In the office, Camren turned on the projector. Brian sat beside him. His gaze habitually swept through the crowd, but he did not see Grace’s face.
He frowned slightly and looked at Erin. “Where’s Grace?”
Erin said respectfully, “Grace hasn’t come today.”
Brian’s frown deepened. “Did she take leave?”
Erin was about to answer, but Louise beat her to it. “It was a last-minute request. After all, she has a child.”
Erin looked at her in surprise, but she did not dare to say anything.
The atmosphere was a little strange. Brian stared at Louise for a long time. Louise said without changing her expression, “Brian, let’s begi
Brian’s eyelids suddenly twitched. He glanced at his watch, took out his phone, and called Grace.
The call went through and it took a long time for the other party to pick up.
Then, a hurried female voice sounded. “Are you this lady’s family member? This lady was in a car accident and is now in the

emergency room of the Cornmunity Hospital…
Before the other party could finish speaking, Brian’s pupils suddenly constricted and he stood up from his chair.
With a cold expression, he left the meeting room after saying, “Camren, you’re in charge of the meeting.”
