attention to Gracie.
“Miss Wilson, you look as stunning as ever. | didn’t see you at the recent meetings. The partnership just isn’t the
swithout your presence,” he said.
The vice presidents couldn't help but feel the tension. Negotiations had been stalled, with Waldo’s side
continually pushing things back and accusing the Mitchell Group of lacking sincerity.
Now, for the first time, the tbegan to understand why, realizing that Waldo might have taken a liking to
Gracie.

family, often looking down on others.

to face reality.
