"I just got off work. What's up?" I replied.
"Let's grab a meal together. I'm at the entrance of your company," Tom said.
"Alright. Wait for me. I'll be right out."
I quickly walked toward the exit after hanging up the phone. Just as I was about to walk through the entrance, I heard someone calling me from behind.
"Grace!"
I instinctively turned around, only to see Joseph.
"Joseph?" I looked at him in confusion. "What's going on? Is there something wrong?"
"I heard from a colleague about the issue with Mandy's agent today. You didn't handle it quite right. It might cause some trouble..." Joseph's face was full of concern.
I smiled. "It's fine. I'm not afraid of trouble."
Joseph pursed his lips. "You might not know this, but Mandy has powerful connections in the Fuvine circle. Do you know the Gould family, the wealthy family from Fuvine? I heard she's the ex-girlfriend of the CEO of Gould Group. Mr. Gould skipped his wedding day for her, and I heard he has already divorced his wife..."
I couldn't help but laugh. I never expected the dramatic story between Gavin and me to already become common gossip.
"I'm on good terms with Mandy's agent as well. How about I arrange a meeting? We can clear up the misunderstanding so that you won't have any trouble later..." Joseph said earnestly.
I knew he was trying to help, but the grudge between Mandy and me wasn't something that could be fixed.
"Thank you for your kind offer, but there's no need."
"You..."
Joseph was about to say something more, but before he could, he caught a glimpse of a tall figure walking toward us. The powerful presence made him instinctively look up.
"Hey, Grace!"
I quickly turned around when I heard the familiar voice.
