After the trio ordered their coffee, Andrea Schwartz purposely
started a conversation about Graces current job in an
attempt to hear more about Graces current plight and to observe Jasons reaction.
However, Jason looked unperturbed. It was as if Graces answer, which he already knew, could not surprise him at all.
Grace, why dont I talk to the boss at the firm? Then you can go back and get a job at the firm. Even if youre only working as a cleaner at the firm, its better than being a sanitation service worker, Andrea Schwartz said, pretending to be nice.
Grace looked up at Andrea Schwartz, but her eyes grew colder and colder. I have no intention of changing my job.
Is that so? Andrea Schwartz curled her lips. Youll probably earn more being a cleaner at the firm than a sanitation service worker. Are you sure you dont want to think about it?
I think I know exactly what Im going to do. Graces tone got
colder too.
Andrea Schwartz wanted to say more, but Tyler Barber stopped her. Fortunately, the waiter came to serve their
coffee, and the topic was temporarily brought to a half.
Here. The coffee is expensive. It tastes better when its hot, Andrea Schwartz said.
Jason lifted the coffee gracefully, sniffed the aroma, and took
a sip.
Andrea Schwartz looked at the man in front of her and felt that he was just like those idols and celebrities. The mere scene of him drinking coffee was pleasing to the eye.
Mr. Reed, how did you meet Grace? Andrea Schwartz asked
curiously.
When it snowed, she took the initiative to talk to me. Thats
how we met, Jason said, smiling.
Huh? Just like that?! That seemed a bit too easy! Grace pursued you, then? Andrea Schwartz said again.
Jason glanced at Grace who was sipping milk tea with her head down. I guess so.
Grace almost spat her milk tea out! When did she do that?

However, at this point, it was clear that Andrea Schwartz had misunderstood her relationship with Jason, so Grace did not bother to explain. It was up to Jason to say whatever he
wanted. It did not matter if Andrea Schwartz misunderstood.
Then Grace is lucky to pursue such a handsome guy. How long have you known Grace? Andrea Schwartz continued
asking.
A few months, I guess? Jason rarely had the patience to
answer these sorts of questions.
In that case Andrea Schwartz looked at Grace and said
seemingly without much thought, Ever since Grace got out of
prison, Ive been hoping that she can find someone to rely on. After all, her previous prison experience was too devastating for her. Now that she has a boyfriend like Mr. Reed, its really
Andrea Schwartz suddenly stopped in the middle of her
sentence. She saw Jason looking at her with a half-smile as if he was aware of all her ideas.
Andrea Schwartz felt as if the rest of the words were stuck in her throat. She could no longer go on.
Why dont you go on? Its really what? Jason asked, raising his eyebrows.
Andrea Schwartz looked embarrassed and lamely said, Really really generous. After all, Grace has been in prison, and a lot of men mind if a woman has been to prison.
I dont mind, Jason said. He then looked indulgently at Grace. No matter her past, I only want her to stay with me willingly.
