Mr Grant, Please Be Gentle

After Blanca escaped from the chairman’s office, she happened to meet Curtis who had just come back from lunch. When he Blanca’s blushed face, he asked, “Mrs. Grant, what’s wrong with you?”

“I’m fine!” Blanca said only a few words to Curtis in a hurry. Afraid that he might find out something, she ran away in a hurry.

Curtis was confused.

Why did Mrs. Grant run away so fast? What had happened to her?

When Blanca came back, other fellows had already come back to their work. Definitely, she also had to work now. She quickly devoted herself to her work and time passed away quietly.

At five o’clock in the afternoon, Blanca felt a little sleepy. She stared at the screen of the computer, and almost fell asleep. Suddenly, Isabel came over and handed her a pack of instant coffee, “Coffee, do you want some?”

“Well, thank you.”

With a smile, Blanca stood up and went to the tearoom to make a cup of coffee. The Empire Group Building was quite large, and each department occupied one entire floor. There was a separate tearoom, bathroom, meeting room, and so on. However, they had to go to the canteen downstairs for lunch.

As soon as Blanca got to the tearoom, she suddenly heard the sound of conversation from inside.

“Did you see that? Blanca was so clumsy. She even took so much time to do print jobs.”

“Yes, why does Mr. Grant love such a stupid woman? You know what, I saw Miss Harris come to visit Mr. Grant this morning, but she was never let in.”

“He refused Miss Harris for a woman like Blanca. Unbelievable…”

Hearing their conversation, Blanca tightened her grip on the coffee cup. Her lips curled into a sneer. Anyway, she did get the job through some connections, so it was normal that everyone looked down upon her.

However, no one liked to be talked about at any time.

This kind of feeling… was so uncomfortable.

Blanca smiled and pushed the door open. The people inside immediately became nervous. Although they liked to gossip, they didn’t expect to be caught by the person they were talking about. They were a little embarrassed for a moment.

“You don’t need the water fountain, do you? Can I use it? Thank you.”

Blanca walked in politely. The girl standing beside the water fountain immediately made way for Blanca and looked at her awkwardly. She nudged the girls around her and they were about to leave, but Blanca suddenly stopped them.

“What were you talking about just now? I heard you chatting so happily. Why do you stop chatting after I came in?”

“We… we didn’t…”

Blanca had already opened the coffee pack and poured the coffee into the cup. She took a cup of hot water and continued, “Don’t you know the wall also has ears? I heard everything. If…”

“Blanca, do you think we’re afraid of you? You’re just Mr. Grant’s wife in name. Miss Grant has already told us everything!”

“How do you know that? Even if we are married in name, I’m still Mrs. Grant!” Blanca said calmly.

She was not someone who would just take it silently. Did they really think she would be tolerant of their mean words?

“Why are you so angry? Who do you think you are? If Mr. Grant took you seriously, he wouldn’t ask you to work as an intern in the company. You’re just an intern… Ah!”

The woman said arrogantly, but suddenly she screamed because Blanca had poured the coffee on her face! The hot coffee slid down the woman’s chin and wetted her clothes!

“What… what have you done?”Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“Didn’t you see it? Go to Miss Grant and tell her this. See if Miss Grant will avenge you. Oh, I forget something. Miss Grant, who you called, is my sister-in-law.” Blanca raised her eyebrows with a smug smile.

The woman seemed to be a little scared, but she couldn’t stand this. She wanted to rush over and argue with Blanca but was dragged away by her friends.

After they left, the smile on Blanca’s face gradually froze, and her hand that she used to pour coffee was still trembling.

Would she cause any trouble for Matthew? But she just wanted to protect herself. If she didn’t do that, they would definitely be more arrogant!

Looking at the coffee stains on the ground, Blanca was somewhat absent-minded. Did they say that she was clumsy and even couldn’t finish an easy job like doing print? She had to prove herself to everyone and let them know she was also capable…
