CHAPTER 70 Something serious happened

  Grace and Emma found themselves in the kitchen, the warm aroma of freshly baked cookies filling the air. Emma noticed how distant Grace looked and asked,

  "Hey, Grace, what's wrong? You seem lost in thought." Emma tossed a few napkins on the counter. Grace let out a sigh and finished typing on her phone before looking up at Emma.

  "Oh, it's nothing, just some work stuff on my mind," she replied, forcing a smile and placing her phone down. Emma raised an eyebrow, not convinced by Grace's response.

  "Come on, Grace, I know you better than that. Is it Aiden? You've been texting him a lot lately. Are you two getting close?" Emma asked mischievously, Grace blushed and stammered.

  "No, no, it's not like that. Aiden is just a friend." She shifted awkwardly in her chair, and Emma smirked and nudged Grace playfully.
