Preston left, but the design plan was still in Olivia's hands.He said she could give the plan to him when
she was done with it.
Olivia sat on the sofa and opened the plan document again.
"LZ Project - AK's subsidiary’
The next morning, Grace came to the design office early.
Olivia hadn't come yet.She put the thermos down and looked at the time.
It was not even time for work.It was still an hour.She seemed to have come too early.
It didn't matter! An hour would pass very fast.
Maybe Olivia would arrive there half an hour earlier.
Olivia was always early.
Thinking of this, Grace started to work.She would like to handle what Olivia told her well.
Ann then arrived.
Twenty minutes later than Grace, but also an early one.
When Grace heard the voice, she immediately looked over and saw it was Ann.She frowned, turned
her head, and continued to work.
Ann originally thought she was the first one, but she saw Grace.She thought for a while and looked at
the sewing machine's place where Olivia used to stay.
There was no Olivia.
Ann looked away, put down her bag, and looked at Grace.
They received a lot of packages yesterday from the suppliers.
The contents of these parcels were all half-finished clothing that needed to be tidied up and sewn.
She was in charge of tidying them up and Grace was in charge of the sewing work.
Obviously, Grace's work was more important than hers.
Grace was holding a piece of cloth and sewing it with gold thread.
This time, she didn't use the hidden stitches from yesterday, but the method of edge cover-stitching.
Grace worked very carefully.She completely regarded Ann as non-existent.
Ann stood there, watching Grace sew clothes skillfully, and walked over.
"Grace.Grace acted as if she didn't hear her.Ann clasped her hands, clenched together” and said,
"Grace, are you still angry?"
Grace paused while holding the needle and then she continued to sew the clothes.
Obviously, she didn't want to talk with Ann.
She was indeed angry with Ann.She wasn't angry with her schemes, but Ann's thought of not regarding
herself as a friend.
Ann had been insincere.
Grace didn't even want to take another look at such a person.
Ann looked at Grace's skillful sewing, her eyes darkened, "Grace, I know you're still angry with me.I
could understand your feeling.If I were more careful at that time, I wouldn't have taken the wrong
summary”
"It was I who almost prevented you from staying at AK.I'm sorry”
Grace snorted, paused her work, and looked at Ann.
"You know I almost couldn't stay at AK"
If it weren't for her brother, she wouldn't have stayed here anymore.
Ann bit her lip.
"I'm sorry."
Grace shook her head, smiling but full of sarcasm.
"Ann, you don't have to apologize.”
"I have seen these tactics in the workplace.I have seen too many of these schemes in the country.But
I'm a person who didn't learn a lesson.When I have a good relationship with others, I would give them
all I can.I may deserve to be schemed by others."
"So, you don't have to apologize.You're right.It's my fault."
Everyone else had their secret thoughts, so she had thought more as well.
However, she wasn't that smart, so she was Set up.
Who was to blame? She herself was the one who should be to blame.
After Grace finished speaking, she took the fabric and thread and went to the other side, far away from
Ann.She really didn't want to see her.
Ann looked at the person sitting on the sofa, feeling the alienation, her fingernails dug into the palm of
her hand.
Grace quickly put her mind away and went back to work.
But she didn't expect to hear a "plop" as soon as she began to work.
Ann knelt down in front of her.
Grace was scared to prick her finger with a frightened needle by Ann's action, causing her to "hiss" in
pain.
But instead of looking at the pricked finger, she looked at Ann.
"What are you doing?!"
She knelt down all of a sudden.
Was she crazy? Ann looked at her with red eyes and tears in them.
"Grace, yes, I did on purpose’
"I saw two job summaries.As usual, I would take a look, flip through them, and make sure"
"But I didn't do it that time.I purposely took the imperfect job summary and handed it on.I knew I was
wrong, but I had no choice’
"My parents divorced when I was very young.My mother § worked hard to raise me, afford my tuition
fee, and let me go abroad."
"l finally applied for AK and became an intern.I don't want to lose this opportunity.I work hard and spare
every effort"
"But I heard that there are at most two interns left in the end.That batch has 5 in total including me.One
of us has a backstage, who will be picked up definitely.But I don't have anything.If I don't use any tricks,
I will definitely be fired"
"I don't want to let my mother down, I don't want to waste all these years of her hard work, so I was
possessed and did something wrong to you.Grace, I'm sorry!" Ann said, kowtowing hard on the ground.
Olivia was frightened by the loud sound and quickly pulled Ann up.
"You get up!"
"No, I won't get up.If you don't forgive me, I won't get up."
Ann's face was covered in tears.
She looked at Grace and said, "I've been suffering for so long.I've never dared to admit it.I've never
dared to say it out.Now I've said it.Grace, please forgive me!"
Grace had never seen Ann so excited.She was always quiet.
But now her face was full of tears, sadness, guilt, and apology, which made her softhearted.
She didn't know about Ann's family, but when they were close, she never heard Ann talking about her
father, but only her mother.
What's more, Ann was a very frugal person.
Thinking of this, Grace frowned and said, "I forgive you.Get up!"
She pulled her up hard.
No one had kneeled down in front of her before in her life.
The feeling was bad.
Ann looked at her and said excitedly, "Grace, have you really...Really forgiven me?"
"Yes, I forgive you.Get up quickly.I'm going to lose my life on your knees!"
Ann finally stood up, wiped her tears, and hugged Grace.
"Grace, thank you.I will never do this again.I promise!"
She hugged Grace tightly.
Grace's whole face was wrinkled up in Ann's arms, showingI an extremely repulsive expression.She
could never stand a thorn in her eyes.
Even though she said she forgave Ann, she could never be friends with her again.
"Okay, Olivia will laugh at us.Let go."
Grace pulled Ann away.
Ann let go of her, wiped away her tears, and looked at her carefully with expectant eyes.
"Grace, are we still friends?"
Grace looked at her and pursed the lips.
She wouldn't be friends with Ann anymore, but Ann's eyes made her uncomfortable.
Ann saw through Grace's mind and lowered her head, tears streaming down her face again.
"You didn't forgive me” Grace was upset to see her crying again.
"I said I forgive you."
"But you don't want to be my friend"
Ann looked at Grace with tears in her eyes.
"That's.."
Ann smiled bitterly.
"You just didn't forgive me”
"I...Okay! We are friends.We are still friends!"
"Stop daydreaming and get to work’’ Grace then turned around, picked up the needle and the thread,
and did her own thing.
Ann smiled heartily.
"Well, we're still friends!"
"Same as before!"
Grace did not say a word and pursed her lips to sew the fabric.
Ann turned around and went to work.
But her hands were still clenched together.
Time passed quickly.
Grace finished the last stitch and stretched out.
With this stretch, she froze.
What time was it? Olivia hadn't come yet? Grace looked at the time immediately.
Ann was also looking out the door.
Seeing Grace looking at the time, she said, "It's already past nine o'clock.Olivia hasn't come yet."
Grace frowned immediately.She came early today because she worried about Olivia.
Now, she was more worried.Grace called Olivia immediately.
