Chapter 46 Someone Who Understands People
+15 BONUS
Grace composed herself, took her phone out, and called Aaron, who had just gotten back to Darai.
This was strange. Why would Timothy give up his cushy job as Donegan Enterprises‘ president in
Darai and apply to work at her branch office in Pamore?
There was obviously something fishy, so it was best if she asked Aaron about this.
When Aaron picked up, he said in a mature but fond tone, “Yes, Grace?”
Grace glanced at the director, who was standing awkwardly at the side.
Then, she whispered into the phone, “Aaron, Timothy’s in Pamore, and he just applied to work here.
Did the Donegans go bankrupt?”
Aaron laughed. Grace had always hated Timothy, to the point that she was merciless when insulting
him.
“No, Mr. Donegan Senior sent him back. I didn’t know about his application, though.”
“Got it. I’ll have him fired immediately.”
“Calm down, Grace.” Aaron advised.
“We both know how good Timothy is. He’s a genius when it comes to investments.
“If he works for our investment department, your performance would surely impress the shareholders
this year.”

Grace’s tone softened when she realized that, making her voice sound like a sister acting cute with her
brother. “What if he mentions the engagement?”
“You’ve never revealed your identity to the public, so he doesn’t know you’re the one he’s engaged to.
How would he know unless you mention it?”
Aaron sensed that Grace was wavering, so he added, “The Pamore branch needs people like him the
most right now. How could you refuse such a talent over a grudge?”
He had successfully convinced Grace. Right now, her job was to improve the Pamore branch’s
performance, and appreciating good talent was a sign of a good leader.
After reluctantly ending the call, Grace cleared her throat and turned to the director, who was still
waiting. “Um… get Timothy to stay.”
The director smiled widely upon hearing that. He flattered her for a while, like Cameron had
done, and left.

The next morning, Grace had just arrived at the ground floor of the company when she heard people
gossiping,
“He’s so handsome!”
“So he’s the one who’s been sending flowers!”
When Grace turned in the direction they were looking, she saw Timothy in a tailor–made suit. He was
holding a huge bouquet of roses and smiling flirtatiously at her.
She scoffed. So Timothy was the fool who had been sending flowers. She shouldn’t have suspected
Caleb.
With a cold expression, she walked right past him without even sparing him a glance. However, he
rushed over to block her way with a bright, sincere smile.
“Long time, no see. Do you remember me?”
“No.”
“I made you laugh on that balcony in Darai, and you wiped your tears with my handkerchief. You don’t
remember that?” Timothy asked, still refusing to give up.
Grace swept her bangs to the side. She was starting to get impatient. “Please step aside, thanks.
“I haven’t thanked you for the gold bangle yet.” Timothy shyly handed Grace the bouquet once again,
but her face only fell even further.
She thought that she would have been fine as long as she pretended not to know him and
avoided him.
Never had she expected him to be clingier than chewing gum stuck to her shoe. How infuriating.
So she went into boss mode and looked him up and down with hostility. “You work here?”
Timothy had no idea Grace was about to blow up, so he answered cheerfully, “Yes, I just .started work
at the investment department today. Hi, boss.
Grace tapped her watch and raised her voice. “What time is it? Get back to work! Are you trying to get

Timothy had never seen a woman speak so loudly. He gulped and stood there awkwardly. It seemed
Grace had a temper.
The director of the investment department was waiting for an elevator nearby. When he noticed his
employee screwing up, he was worried that he would get fired for no reason.
So he tossed Timothy’s bouquet in the trash and quickly dragged him into the emergency

That finally appeased Grace, and she walked into the elevator.
However, much to Grace’s confusion, everyone else in the elevator rushed to take the stairs
too.
What was wrong with these people?
Meanwhile, everyone else was still recovering from the shock. They were scared of even
breathing too loudly in her presence.
Grace usually came to work with a smile. They had never seen her yell at someone so sternly
before.
Why was she this mad about getting flowers so early in the morning?
