Chapter 75 The Higher You Climb, the Harder You Fall

Phoenix repeated his sentence.

I was ecstatic and repeatedly asked, "Really? Do you mean it?"

I was afraid that after feeling hopeful, I would be disappointed again.

Phoenix offered to send me off, and I allowed him this time.

He dropped me off then left. One of the observant colleagues spotted his car and asked curiously, "Grace, is your boyfriend rich? That's an expensive car."

"It's his boss's car," I gave a vague answer.

My colleague seemed to be satisfied with my explanation. "True. If your boyfriend drove such an expensive car, how could he bear to let you work here?"
