Married For His Grandmother’s Last Wish의 모든 챕터: 챕터 11 - 챕터 14

Mira avoided Daniel for the rest of the day. It wasn't difficult. He stayed in his study, and she stayed in the guest suite, unpacking and trying to adjust to her new reality.By evening, hunger forced her out.

Mr. Chen has several events this week that require your attendance.""Events?""Yes. Tonight is a charity gala benefiting children's literacy. Tomorrow evening is a business dinner with potential investors. Friday is the Chen Technologies quarterly meeting where you'll be introduced to the board."Mira's stomach dropped.

She'll help with wardrobe and etiquette coaching.""Etiquette
