"Huh?" Grace muttered.“The first time I arrived at your home, I found your paintings had dark and cold emotions. The characters in your paintings never smiled. However, in these three paintings, you started to add bright colors and warm elements." Adro continued.With a furrowed brow, Grace observed her paintings from the oldest to the newest. How could she not have noticed it? Adro was right; her art style had gradually changed."Does this have something to do with your mood?" Adro asked, checking the dates on Grace's three latest paintings; one of them was a Joselyn painting.Grace fell silent. Upon reflection, it was true that her mood influenced her artwork. And her paintings had undergone a drastic transf

"You will?" Grace's eyes sparkled. "Oh! Glad to hear that!""Yeah! I've made a list of exciting destinations-"Adro's sentence was cut off when his phone rang. "Oh, excuse me, I need to take this for two minutes," he said to Grace as he reached for the cell phone from the sofa."Sure. Take your time," Grace replied."Thanks," Adro said before answering the call. "Spencer? ... Yes, I know... He did? Haha, what a nonsense guy... No, no, I'm fine, of course - You know I don't check my phone often like you guys ... Yeah, sure. I'll check it out now. It's in the group chat, isn’t it? ... No problem."Sipping her wine, Grace glanced at Adro, who had just hung up his phone, before staring at the phone screen. A smile formed, and a chuckle escaped his lips as he typed something on it.As Adro promised, he finished in just two minutes. Then he placed his phone back on the sofa. "I’m sorry, it's my friends reporting something they think is

"Congratulations, Grace," Adro said, handing over a large bouquet of carnation and orchid flowers.Grace swallowed, looking at Adro from head to toe. He wore a deep denim-blue suit that made his eyes stand out. His appearance even caught the attention of people around them."Don’t… don't you have a photoshoot?" Grace asked as she received the flowers, then thanked him."I asked for permission to leave early to accompany you. Isn't this a once-in-a-lifetime moment?""It is..." Grace mumbled, unable to look into Adro's crystal eyes.Grace thought that after last night's incident, she could avoid him for a few days, considering he would leave tonight.

"Oh, nice to meet you!" Grace rose to her feet, extending her hand. "I'm Grace Menken, the new secretary for Ms. Park." Sean nodded with a smile that still lingered on his face, then returned the handshake from the girl in front of him. "Nice to meet you too, Menken. I've heard a bit about you from Ms. Park. I hope we can work well together." Sean's friendliness eased Grace's nervousness. She returned his smile with equal warmth. "You can call me Grace. Thank you so much for the warm welcome. I'll do my best not to inconvenience you." Sean shook his head. "Don’t mind it, Grace. Both of us are Ms. Park's assistants, so it's only fitting for me to guide you through our work. And feel free to call me by my first name." "Thank you, Sean," Grace said, holding her breath to keep her voice from trembling. What dream did Grace have last night that she could have such a cool coworker? Sean Lee was a man with deep black hair and eyes. His eyes, shaded by thick and long eyebrows, stood out p

Sean's question left Grace silent. God, they had only known each other for three days!However, what weighed on her heart wasn't Sean's rushed action; she considered it a bold move for a man, and for some reason, it looked sexy! But what made her uneasy was Adro.For some reason, the first thing that came to Grace's mind after Sean asked her out was Adro. Did Adro still have romantic feelings for her, even after he realized that it was just random feelings because he was tired of his new job? If so, he would be disappointed if she dated someone else. But shouldn't Grace build thicker boundaries between them?Apart from his good looks, Sean was a good man; he's also respectful to women. Technically, Sean was Grace's ideal man. He was someone who treated her right, unlike other men except Adro. Maybe by going out with him a few times, she could slowly forget Adro and truly build a serious relationship."It must be fun," Grace answered.Smiling wide,
