Gracies expression was troubled. “So you are avoiding me, Ethan. | don’t want to go back. My place feels hollow.
I'm there by myself, with no one to talk to. I'm scared of that loneliness. Your house is massive—multiple floors,
countless empty rooms.staying in one wouldn't inconvenience you. If it’s really a problem, | can even pay

He then handed Ethan a file. “Here's the agenda. It’s about the drone project, focusing on design features.
Production is the next phase.”
Ethan stood and left for the conference room with Neville, leaving Gracie behind.
She stood there, agitation swirling within her. Returning to her office, she lingered by the floor-to-ceiling window,
staring at the cityscape, lost in thought. Ethan's attitude toward her had grown so cold that he barely wanted to

Was it because the Wilson Group had collapsed? Was it because she was no longer the daughter of a prominent
