Chapter 19
Grace suddenly felt that she could not escape anymore. Since it was this way, so be it, let's go all out.
"Bang! Bang!" Two loud slaps came from behind.
Grace immediately turned around and saw Chen fall to the ground.
"Pfft —" Grace couldn't help laughing. She accidentally stretched her facial muscles and screamed in
pain.
The man beside her cast sharp eyes on her face playfully.
Grace felt it and immediately looked up. When she saw his deep eyes, she immediately restrained
herself and said with a poker face, "Mr. Jones, that photo was taken by me. I apologize. Just do
whatever you want to me."
Heinz raised his eyebrows. "You admit it now?"
Grace nodded. "Even if I don't admit it, you won't let me go. So, I would rather admit it. I took the
photos."
"Then why does it state Lilian as the publisher of the news? Heinz asked.
Grace paused and asked, "Mr. Jones must have known it already. Why bother asking?"
"I want to hear it from you." Heinz said loudly.
In a flash, they arrived at the side of the car.
Heinz opened the car door, put her in the passenger seat, and Grace sat inside. Heinz sat in the
driver's seat and started the car.
Grace hesitated for a while and said, "As I said before, I need to become an official employee."
Grace felt a little helpless. She regretted that she did the transfer to be an official paparazzi of this
small magazine company, she might not be suitable for it after all.
After a moment of silence, Grace laughed at herself, "That's it."
Heinz said, "The credit has been snatched by someone else but when there’s a problem, they throw
you under the bus to clean up the mess. Well, what's the point of becoming a full-time worker under
such a boss?"
Grace was stunned. She didn't expect that this man understood it all. She smiled again and said with This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
great self-mockery, "Yes, it doesn't make sense. I have even offended you."
"Now that you've figured it out, it's not too late," Heinz said.
Grace was stunned and suddenly caught something was off. She looked at Heinz with wide eyes and
said, "Mr. Jones, do you mean you are not going to blame me for this?"
Heinz drove the car leisurely and did not rush to answer. His handsome face was carrying a meaningful
smirk. His tall body leaned against the chair, making the whole space seem narrow and oppressive.
Heinz finally opened his mouth and said in a lazy voice, "Nobody dares to shoot me like this. You are
the first one. Do you think I won't punish you?"
Grace, who was originally full of hope, went speechless for a moment. She lowered her shoulder and
said, "How are you going to take revenge on me?"
The car drove past a street-side pharmacy and stopped.
Heinz got off the car.
Grace was puzzled.
"Just wait in the car. If you dare run away, you will bear the consequences." Heinz left those
threatening words before turning away.
Grace sat in the car and didn't move for a long time.
Five minutes later.
Heinz opened the car door with a bag in his hand and saw Grace. He smiled slightly and said, "Well,
not bad. You didn't run away."
Grace kept silent.
Heinz got in the car and looked Grace.
The palm print on her face was very deep, Chenhad slapped her really hard
Heinz opened a bottle of ointment he bought. The ointment helps ease blood circulation. He squeezed
out some paste, put it on his finger, and reached out for Grace's face.
Grace backed off subconsciously.
Heinz leaned forward and Grace leaned further back. However, she was against the door now with no
way out.
Then, Heinz applied the ointment onto her face.
A cooling sensation came, with a hint of a minty fragrance, instantly relieving the feeling of swelling and
pain on her face.
Grace froze there and stared with watery eyes at the man in front of her
Heinz's eyes were deep and calm like a cold pond that could suck people's souls in easily.
Grace still felt embarrassed and awkward. She twisted her body and tried to refuse.
"Don't move." Heinz’ s voice was hoarse, showing a firm determination that is hard to be refused.
