Chapter 17
Edgar wondered whether Patric was the one behind the scenes.
Frowning, he said indifferently, “Continue to search for her. Send someone to investigate Patrick. Inform me as soon as you find her.”
“Yes.”
Tim nodded, but his face showed that he was unconvinced.
Seeing that he was still standing there, Edgar was confused and asked, “Why aren’t you leaving yet? What do you want to say?”
Tim hesitated for a while. He knew that he might annoy Edgar, but he still couldn’t help it.
“I’m getting more and more confused about you, Mr. Fallen. You’re already divorced, but you’re still so concerned about your ex-wife. Why are you ignoring Miss Mellis, whom you really should care about? What are you thinking?”
Narrowing his eyes, Edgar picked up the glass ashtray on the table and threw it at Tim’s feet.
“Get lost!”
Tim sensibly retreated.
He smoked two more cigarettes. Amid the lingering smoke, he looked a little hazy.
Feeling hungry, he got up and opened the refrigerator.
There were all kinds of groceries inside, all of which were his favorites.
He was stunned on the spot.
All of a sudden, he vaguely remembered that in the past three years, every time he returned home, the first thing he saw was the expectant look in Grace’s eyes.
Greeting him with a smile, she handed him slippers and said, “You’re back. You’ve worked hard today. Are you hungry? I’ve prepared dinner.”
But he had never looked her in the eye. In the face of the hot dishes on the table, he always sneered, mocked her, and went back to his room.
It was a thankless task, but stupi d Grace kept repeating it every day.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but laugh.
Tonight, for some reason, he suddenly wanted to taste the food Grace cooked.
Her last words before she left the banquet tonight suddenly rang in his ears.
“We were married for three years. My conscience is clear about you.”
If she did have a clear conscience, then what was going on with Patric?
Realizing that he had been thinking about Grace all the time, Edgar felt very strange. He angrily closed the refrigerator and went upstairs to take a shower.
Early the next morning….
The lobby of the Angle Group was crowded.

The employees stood in a few rows and looked at each other, waiting for Patric to arrive.
Half an hour later, Patric showed up at the entrance of the hall with Grace.
Grace had specially chosen a white suit with a hip-wrapped skirt today. Her ponytail was raised high, which made her look generous, capable, and sex y.
At the sight of her appearance, there was a commotion among the employees.
The scene of them coming in through the door together was so pleasing to the eye.
Patric walked to the middle and announced solemnly, saying, “This is Miss Grace Salen, the new general manager of the company. She will work alongside you in the future.”
The crowd burst into a round of applause.
Grace nodded politely with a smile.
After that, Patric made a rough arrangement for the recent KPI and asked everyone to go back to work, leaving the management team behind.
“Lucy, Grace has just arrived and is not familiar with the business yet. Please help her out.”
Lucy, who was named by Patric, was the agent manager. She had blonde and brown wavy hair. Although her makeup was relatively gorgeous, she was a beauty with an excellent figure.
Nodding repeatedly, she smiled very enthusiastically and said, “Mr. Smith, don’t worry. I
will do my best to help Miss Salen.”
After Patric left, she stopped smiling and glanced at Grace before saying, “Miss Salen, please come with me.”
When she looked over, Grace was also ng at her. Grace keenly noticed a hint of
imperceptible disgust in her eyes.
Grace thought, “Lucy doesn’t seem to welcome me!”
Grace said, “Ms. Gordan, please call me director in the future.”
Lucy choked, and she immediately became respectful.
For the whole morning, Grace was familiarizing herself with the company’s documents in the office. Lucy brought stacks of documents to her.
The documents piled up on her desk.
Glancing at the huge pile of documents, Grace asked with a frown, “Isn’t our department in charge of agents and artists? Why do I need to know so much information?”
Lucy laughed derisively.
“These are just the basics. When you finish reading this pile, there will be more.” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
She paused for a moment and looked at Grace mockingly, saying, “Miss Salen, you don’t seem to be familiar with this line of work.”
Grace nodded and said, “Yes, it’s my first time.”
Lucy’s eyes widened in shock.

Originally, after the former director was transferred, this position was vacant. Lucy was the most qualified candidate for promotion. However, Grace, who was a good-for-nothing, suddenly appeared and directly stole this position from her. Other employees secretly laughed at her because of it.
Lucy wouldn’t keep the anger to herself.
When she looked at Grace’s delicate face again, her eyes were full of jealousy and unwillingness.
“For a scu m b a g like you with no experience or educational background, how did you get into the Angle Group? Who did you sleep with to force your way in?”
