Chapter 24 Confrontation at the Gate Grace could already guess what the supervisors were thinking, so before the end of the day she called them in for a quick meeting. "Not in the conference room?" Clara Brooks asked, puzzled. Michael smiled. "Miss Miller said to meet in her office." The four supervisors, along with Vice President Harris, stepped into the president's office. Grace was bent over, framing an embroidery piece herself. Without looking up, she said, "Just a few quick words." The five of them lined up to listen. "The Product Embroidery Division used to be slack.
It'll take time to adapt to this new system. You need to guide the embroiderers. Aside from analyzing samples and writing reports, all they need to do is stitch. Nothing else. And the reports must be handed in. No exceptions." Then she lifted her gaze and fixed it on them. They all nodded at once. "As long as the embroidery quality is good, I don't care what you do the rest of the day. Even if you sleep, it's fine." "Understood, Miss Miller." Grace turned her eyes on Michael Harris, twirling the screwdriver in her hand. "If things aren't done, I'll come to you." Michael straightened at once.
"Yes, ma'am!" "Miss Miller..." Lydia Grant hesitated. "I have a family emergency. Could I leave a bit early today?" "Did you finish your work?" "It's all done." "Then go. In the future, as long as the work's complete, you don't need my permission to handle personal matters." 1/4 +10 Free Coins Relief washed over Lydia. She bowed deeply. "Thank you, Miss Miller." The five left the office, their feelings subtly changed. When Grace finished framing, she, too, was ready to leave. Just then, her phone rang, it was Daniel. "Mr. West?" His voice over the line was even smoother than in person.
"Dinner." Oh, right. They had agreed to meet today. Grace quickly packed her things. "Of course. Where should I go?" "There's a car downstairs." He was waiting for her? Grace clocked out in a hurry and headed for the exit. Sure enough, a car with hazard lights flashing was parked at the door. Daniel glanced up from his tablet as he saw her approach, only to notice someone stepping in her way. Ethan. Grace's brows knit instantly. She had no desire to speak to him, circling wide to avoid him. But Ethan seized her arm, his grip hard enough to make her wince. "What are you doing?" she demanded.

"Grace, you did this on purpose, didn't you? You joined Titan Group just to go against me?" Grace pried his hand off forcefully. "Against you? You think too highly of yourself." "Then how else would you have gotten into Titan and become President of the Product Embroidery Division?" Ethan had heard from his secretary that Grace's phone was unreachable. She must have blocked the number. Furious that she dared treat him so, he had come to ambush her in person. Grace wasn't surprised he knew.

Come back to Pinnacle Designs where you belong." How shameless could one man be? Grace moved to leave, but Ethan was relentless. "Mr.
Carter, poaching my people right in front of me, isn't that a bit much?" A man's voice cut in. Ethan turned, immediately feeling a wave of danger. From the car, Daniel stepped out.

s eyes flicked to the arm wrapped around Grace's shoulders. I recall HR asked before your appointment, Grace, are you married?" His words were cryptic. Grace caught on instantly. "Unmarried!" Titan's Product Embroidery Division never hired married women without children for management roles. Her clear answer allowed her to wrench free from Ethan's grasp. She shot him a cold look. "Mr. Carter and I were colleagues. Nothing more. Now, we have no connection whatsoever." At that moment, Henry stepped out of the car and positioned himself a few meters from Ethan.
