Chapter 254

CEO Storm’s Office.

Eder had just entered the office, and before his chair could even warm up, Eric came in, hopping and

skipping, seeking his reward.

“Boss, you’re full of energy today. The battle last night must have been great, right?” He rubbed his

hands together, wearing a silly smile on his face, resembling an eager puppy.

“Full of energy?” After scrubbing clothes on the washboard for nearly an hour last night, his knees were

still swollen and bruised. Indeed, he was walking with a certain flair.

Eder narrowed his dark eyes, his expression unreadable, but his lips curved into a smile, somewhat

unsettling.

Eric was bewildered. It was the first time he had seen such a strange expression on his boss’s face. It

seemed like anger, yet it also appeared as if he was in a good mood?

“Did he succeed or fail?” Eric felt uncertain.

Eder, for the first time ever, wore a pair of all–black leather gloves to work today. He took off his gloves

and showed the palm of his left hand to Eric, his low voice devoid of emotion.

“What do you think of this situation?”

Eric looked at his left hand, and his gaze fell upon the swollen purple–red bruises on his palm. His eyes

widened in shock.

This… Was he beaten by Miss Grace again?

His hand was so swollen; she must have hit him hard!

Miss Grace was truly fierce…

Eric subconsciously swallowed his saliva. He could already imagine how disastrous the situation was,

considering that his boss followed his advice and acted accordingly last night.

With his boss’s ferocity and grudge–holding nature, he would never accept it quietly. He would drag

Eric along and suffer together.

Damn it, instead of seeking reward, he had walked right into a trap!

Eric’s legs nearly gave out in an instant, causing him to collapse to the floor. He clutched onto Eder’s

right leg, wearing a miserable expression on his face.

Because his acting skills were inadequate, he couldn’t produce tears. He could only howl at the top of

his Gracengs:

“Boss! I’m guilty! I shouldn’t have given you such a lousy idea. It’s all my fault! I’m willing to accept any

punishment! Temporary suspension is fine, but please don’t deduct my salary. Otherwise, I’ll have to

eat instant noodles every day, sob…”

Eder’s eyes deepened, and he looked down at him condescendingly, but his lips carried a hint of a

smile. “Who said I was going to punish you?”

“Huh?” Eric’s mournful expression froze for a moment, appearing somewhat comical.

He lifted his face, full of disbelief. “You’re not going to punish me? Could it be that you’re going to give

me a raise?”

“Yes, a raise.” Eder’s voice was steady and sounded completely genuine.

Although Eric’s lousy idea led to him being beaten, it also provided him with a good opportunity–Not

only did he get to enjoy a sumptuous meal last night, but he also successfully made arrangements with

Grace as he had wished, resolving the thorny issue regarding Mr. Smith

So, not only was Eric not in the wrong, he had actually done something commendable!

Eric had no idea about his boss’s true reasons, and his eyes widened in shock. He looked at Eder with

deep suspicion.n

“Is his Boss going crazy from being beaten? Or… does he have a liking for pain or humiliation.”

Does he get more excited the harder Miss Grace hits him?

While Eric stared at Eder, the latter was lost in thought.

He remembered Grace’s sweet and helpless demeanor from last night when he punished her, how she

whimpered and begged. The adorable sight melted his heart, and his lips unconsciously curled into a

smile.

While Eric stared at him, unable to look away, he couldn’t help but feel that Eder’s smile was….

somewhat creepy…

Is he savoring the memories? Is he really a masochist?

Eric’s facial features twisted with confusion, and he observed Eder strangely,

Eder noticed Eric’s gaze and asked, “You’re not happy about getting a raise?”

Eric immediately burst into a big smile. “Happy! Of course, I’m happy! Boss, feel free to call me anytime

for more good deeds like this! If Miss Grace can’t satisfy you, I’m willing to take over for her. I

guarantee you’ll be satisfied with my service!”

Eder looked at him with a strange expression, gradually turning gloomy. “What the hell are you talking

about, you idiot? Miss Grace can’t satisfy me? You think you can take her place? What do you take me

for?”

Eric suddenly realized, “Hoss, I understand now! This is Miss Grace’s excGracesive privilege! It’s your

little game between husband and wife!”

He put on a very understanding smile and exited the CEO’s office.

Eder stared at his submissive figure, utterly bewildered.

Why did it feel like he couldn’t understand a word Eric was saying?

On Grace’s side, the interview in the hospital room was coming to an end.

…My relationship with Peter came to a complete end from the moment I jumped off the bridge.

yesterday. I don’t want to dwell on the past, whether it be the pain or the happiness. Once I recover, 1

will devote myself wholeheartedly to my work and strive to bring better works to my faus and the

audience.”

The flashlights and shutter sounds echoed in front of Abigail.

Grace only allowed a few infGraceential journalists and media outlets to enter for the interview.

After listening to Abigail’s statement, the journalists exchanged glauces. It seemed like they weren’t

going to delve deeper into Peter’s affair?

Reporter A: “Miss Green, when you jumped into the lake yesterday due to Mr. Parker’s affair, you must

have been devastated at that time. What supported you to come out of that emotional state so

quickly?”

Reporter B: “Mr. Parker apologized to you last night. From what you’re saying, are you willing to

forgive him? Can you reveal who the actress he had an affair with is?”

Abigail fell into a long silence and didn’t speak.

Seeing this, Grace signaled to her manager.

The manager, with keen eyesight, interrupted the interview and said. “Alright, everyone, Miss Green’s

body hasn’t fully recovered yet, and today’s nterview has just ended. Let her rest early.”

The media outlets dispersed.

After everyone left, Grace approached Abigail on the hospital bed and asked, “Why didn’t you take the

opportunity to expose the malicious deeds done to you by that scumbag and his mistress? It would

have allowed the netizens to criticize them.”

Abigail shook her head. “Because I know it’s useless to do that. I understand the principle of ‘hurting

the enemy by a thousand and damaging oneself by eight hundred. Even if they are being criticized

now, so what? After some time, when the storm subsides, they can still thrive. Besides, the internet has

a long memory. If I expose everything, it will become a dark secret that affects my future in the industry.

It’s better to brush it off lightly, and it might even earn me sympathy and leave a good impression on the

public.”

Hearing Abigail’s words, Grace felt relieved. “You’ve grown a lot through this incident.”

Abigail smiled at her, held her hand, and said emotionally, I have you to thank for everything. To me,

you are a friend more important than family or a lover.”

“Hey! You can’t say that! If your future husband finds out, won’t he be jealous of me? The both of them

laughed together.

In the afternoon, Abigail voGracentarily requested to be discharged from the hospital, and Grace called

the doctor for a follow up appointment.

Suddenly, the manager rushed into the hospital room in a panic. “Ms. Grace, Ms. Green, quickly look at

your phones! Elizabeth is live streaming and crying!”
