Female Novel
Chapter 179
Grace Smith's face turned stiff instantly. Just as she was about to deny it, she heard Jensen Charm
explaining, "Don't talk nonsense. Miss Smith is shy. She's my friend."
"Oh, really?" Others who didn't know the actual situation were still winking and frowning at him. It was
obvious that they thought that Jensen had an unusual relationship with Grace.
Jensen said seriously, "Don't talk nonsense and don't try to guess. I've said that we're just friends."
Heinz Jones's cold eyes swept over. He was stunned initially when he saw Grace, and his face
instantly turned cold upon hearing Jensen's subordinates' jokes.
Grace met Heinz's cold eyes and at that moment, and this made her rethink her decision to come back.
Maybe it wasn't a right decision after all.
But also because of his cold look, she became much calmer although she was still feeling awkward.
Looking at everyone, she smiled faintly and said, "Sorry, you really misunderstood. I have just recorded
my testimony at the police station and just happened to know Officer Charm, so I am here to have a
meal. That's all."
"Really?" One of the subordinates came over immediately after hearing Grace's words and asked her,
"Beauty, what's your name?"
"My name is Grace Smith."
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
"No." Grace thought that since Heinz had refused to admit it, it was not appropriate for her to say it
herself. When she said this, she was looking in Heinz's direction.
Sure enough, as soon as she said that, Heinz let out a slight and sarcastic snort, "Ha!"
"No?" The colleague was very surprised and his eyes lit up looking at Grace.
Grace's eyes quivered and she said, "But I am, sort-of, seeing someone."novelbin
As soon as she said that, everyone was in a daze.
Those who knew about the truth were looking at Heinz, while those who didn't were looking at Grace
and Jensen.
"Are you talking about our boss?"
"No." Grace shook her head and said, "Officer Charm is very kind and easy-going. The person I'm
talking about is more indifferent and cold."
This d*mn woman.
Heinz narrowed his eyes and shot an arrow-sharp glare at Grace.
Grace glanced at him and turned to look at Jensen. She smiled and said, "Officer Charm, shall we sit
down?"
"Yes, of course." Jensen said, "Grace, you can take a seat over there."
He was referring to the vacant seat next to where
Heinz was sitting.
Grace took a look and found that Heinz was sitting there with an overwhelming aura and the others
didn't dare to sit close to him. Therefore, the seats on both sides of Heinz were left empty.
She glanced at it and said without hesitation, "Well, there are two seats left. Let's take one on each
side."
"Okay." Jensen made a gesture of invitation.
Grace walked over and sat directly on the right side of Heinz, while Jensen sat on the left.
At this moment, Heinz's entire body was piercingly cold as if he was covered by ice and snow.
"Heinz, have you ordered the dishes?" Jensen turned to look at Heinz.
Heinz replied coldly, "No, I was waiting for you."
"Okay." Jensen took the menu and pushed it past Heinz and it landed in front of Grace. "Grace, ladies
first, you can order first."
Grace looked at the menu which came from Heinz's direction. She took a glance at it and she was
instantly in shock. The food here was too expensive for her.
She looked at Jensen and pushed it back to him. "Officer Charm, you can do the ordering."
"What's wrong?" Jensen raised his eyebrows and asked, "The food here is not to your liking?"
Grace smiled and said, "I like to eat meat. Maybe you could order something on behalf of me? We
could maybe get a platter or something."
Jensen was startled at first but he laughed. "Well, my brothers also like meat too. Let's order a platter
to share and maybe some other dishes too."
"Okay." Grace grinned.
The two were chatting with each other with Heinz stuck in between them. They were completely
ignoring him.
At the corner of her eyes, Grace could feel that Heinz's face was getting more and more serious. Her
bright smile was still unwavering.
"Grace, do you like beef?"
"Yes." "Would you prefer to have steak or beef goulash?" "Beef goulash sounds good. Can I make it
spicier?" "Alright, I'll ask them to add more peppers into the goulash."
"Okay, spicy beef goulash is the best!"
"True, my brothers are also starving." Jensen looked at the menu and ordered a lot of dishes. Then he
threw the menu to the waiter and said loudly, "Give this lady some chicken soup for nourishment too."
After the waiter left, Grace looked at Jensen with a smile and said, "Thank you, Officer Charm."
"You're welcome." Jensen also laughed brightly. "But I'm not the one paying the bill today. You should
thank the Mister next to you."
Grace looked at Heinz and smiled faintly. "Thank you, Mister Jones."
The corner of Heinz's mouth twitched very coldly.
He was not in a hurry to say anything. He pursed his lips and said sarcastically, "Nowadays it's rare to
see people who come to a party uninvited."
Grace was at a loss for words, and an awkward look flashed across her face.
She really didn't expect this person to embarrass her in front of so many people.
Jensen was also stunned. Glancing at Heinz, he gritted his teeth and whispered, "What's wrong with
you?"
Jensen only had Heinz's best interests at heart. How could he say that? It seemed that he would be
satisfied only if Grace was really chased away.
Grace said, "I was invited by Officer Charm. I'm not sure who is the one who came here without an
invitation."
Grace stared at Heinz after saying that.
Heinz snorted with a vortex-like aura in his eyes.
Grace didn't expect this man to be so annoying.
She took a deep breath, looked at Jensen again, and shrugged her shoulders helplessly.
Jensen was also very apologetic. "Grace, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect the situation to turn out like
this."
"It's okay. It's fine." On the contrary, Grace calmed down a lot while thinking, "It's not a big deal if I don't
take it seriously."
She glanced at Heinz, and a light flashed in her eyes.
Heinz watched the conversation between the two of them indifferently. He pursed his lips and his eyes
were even colder.
At this time, the atmosphere surrounding the dining table became tenser.
Jensen's subordinates were all very sensitive. In an instant, they sensed the mysterious atmosphere
and all turned to look at the three of them.
For a moment, all the people in the room stopped talking.
Jensen was smart. He raised his eyebrows and said to one of his subordinates, "What are you looking
at? Go get some beer."
"Boss, you can't drink. There are a lot of cases in the evening waiting for you."
"Then order some soda for me. I'm so thirsty."
"Okay."
"How about Mr. Jones? What do you want?"
Heinz didn't say anything.
Grace replied instead, "Give Mr. Jones a glass of chrysanthemum tea, something to cool his body."
The man was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go and get it immediately."
Heinz's eyes flickered with anger. He wanted nothing more than to tear her into pieces.
Grace glanced at him and completely ignored him.
Jensen also chuckled and said, "Good, very good. The chrysanthemum tea would definitely cool his
heat down. It's really suitable for him."
Heinz's sharp eyes swept to Jensen.
Jensen smiled again in a light-hearted manner.
Grace did not bother Heinz much after this. She felt that she had made enough effort but this person
was obviously holding a grudge against her.
"Heinz, why are you looking at me?" Jensen looked at Heinz.
Heinz snorted and asked in a low voice, "You made you the big boss here?"
Jensen's pupils contracted. "Are you trying to pick a fight with me?"
