Female Novel
Chapter 196
Hermione Lowe's words completely changed Grace Smith's impression of her, as well as of her own
principles.
She really didn't expect Editor Lowe to be such a straightforward woman, or one who would be
particular about appearances.
Grace stared at Hermione with her eyes wide. She could not believe what she just heard.
Hermione smiled slightly. Looking at Grace's expression, she knew that her words had shocked the girl.
She pondered for a moment and said, "Did I scare you?"
"A little," Grace admitted honestly. "I just didn't expect that you would say that."
"What's the big deal? It's the truth.” Hermione smiled and said, "For some people, the more they live,
the more timid they become. For others, the more they live, the bolder they are. I happen to be the
latter."
"I can tell," Grace exclaimed from the bottom of her heart.
"It will be meaningless to live if we are not true to ourselves," Hermione said.
Grace was deeply touched. "But, Editor Lowe, it is not just a matter of sleeping with the man. There are
still many others factors to consider." "If it's not about that, then it's even less important."
Hermione said frankly, "In my opinion, everything is fine, but if a man doesn't want to sleep with you,
then he is really not interested in you."
Grace was stunned and her perspective seemed to have changed again. "Editor Lowe, you really
speak your mind."
Grace blushed.
Hermione smiled and said, "It's just a matter between a woman and a man. If that matter goes fine,
then everything is fine. If that matter doesn't go well, then everything will go wrong."
Grace blinked her eyes and couldn't say anything to refute.
It seemed that Hermione's words made sense.
"As long as a couple has a good relationship, everything will be fine and negotiable. However, if the
couple is not intimate and doesn't have a good married life, it is just the matter of time before they part
ways," Hermione said with a sigh and she seemed to be a little sad.
Grace was in a daze for a moment. Hermione was at most only fifty years old and still had a long life
ahead.
Grace said, "Editor Lowe, why don't you find another man?"
"I'm not looking for a guy to be married. I'll find a gigolo to serve me. If I find a guy to be married, I'm
just limiting my own freedom," Hermione said.
Grace was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say as she stared at Hermione.
Probably realizing that she seemed to have said too much, Hermione said, "You're different from me.
You're still young, and you must experience being married. If you don't, it would be a waste of your life.
You don't have to worry that much."
Grace was a little surprised.
"In fact, we really don't know what will happen in the next second. What I want to say is, if you are
seeing someone decent, then have a good relationship with him. Even if you are not looking at getting
married, you should be bold," Hermione said.
Grace thought for a moment and smiled. "I'm already a little tempted by what you said."
However, when she thought of Heinz Jones humiliating her like that, she still couldn't stay calm.
Hermione smiled and said, "I'm very pleased that my words are not in vain."
Grace added, "Actually, I don't know how it would end. I just don't like being looked down upon and
humiliated." "Grace." Hermione said calmly, "What do you think of the people whom we just
interviewed?"
Grace was stunned for a moment and said, "They are all different in terms of personality, background,
and upbringing, and some of them are hard to get along with."
"Some of them even despised you, didn't they?" Hermione said bluntly.
Grace nodded and smiled, "Indeed."
Hermione got up from her seat, poured a cup of tea, and gave it to Grace.
"Thank you," Grace picked the cup up and took a sip.
Hermione smiled faintly and said, "Although they despise you, you still have to interview them, don't
you? You can't skip the interview just because they disrespect you, right?"
Grace was speechless.
"If you treat the stinky Heinz as your interviewee, will it be easier for you to deal with him?" Hermione
asked.
Grace didn't know what to say.
Hermione's words seemed to make sense.
Hermione's lips curved into a deeper smile. "Sometimes, a short relationship without the aim of
marriage might not have a bad ending. On the contrary, you might have an unexpected harvest exactly
because there were no expectations."
This time, Grace was really astonished.
For the first time, she felt that Hermione was a very sophisticated woman.
She explained the principle in such a thorough way.
Grace really felt that she was lucky to have known Editor Lowe.
"Thank you for telling me these. I think I have a better understanding now. I really appreciate that you
are willing to sharing to me your inspiration in life. I am truly grateful. Thank you, Editor Lowe."
"I just wish you well," Hermione said sincerely with a smile.
Grace nodded. "Let's encourage each other in our
endeavors."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
"Alright, let's get ourselves together and start working now," Hermione encouraged her with a smile.
"Don't worry. I won't let my work be affected," Grace said.
Grace left the office and walked to her seat. As soon as she sat down, her phone rang.
She caught a glimpse of the strange number and decided to answer it.
"Hello, who is it?"
"It's me," a low male voice came from the other side. His voice was hoarse and magnetic, and it
sounded familiar. Then he said, "Your man."
Grace was speechless for a moment. How could he be so narcissistic?
She deliberately went against his plot and said bluntly, "Sorry, I have a lot of men, so I can't remember
which one you are."
On the other side, Heinz Jones' mouth twitched. He was a little annoyed, but he was still worried that
Grace would hang up the phone if she was not happy.
"It's Heinz Jones," he introduced himself.
"What's the matter?" Grace asked in a cold voice.
"I want to have a date with you," he said. "Are you willing to?" "Are you sure you're qualified to?" Grace
sneered directly.
Heinz inhaled sharply, and his breath was heavy. "Can you not speak so bluntly?"
"I am who I am," Grace said directly, "I don't care what you think."
After that, she hung up the phone.
Grace felt so much better after snapping at him.
Heinz called again but she ignored and didn't answer it. She was busy with work and didn't want to
waste any more time.
Grace's mood slowly lightened up as she occupied herself with her work. She stopped checking her
phone as well.
At half- past four o'clock in the evening, Grace glanced at her watch and gave herself a mental
reminder. She had to pick her child up in another hour.
Heinz made two phone calls, but Grace did not answer any of them. He was very annoyed, but his
work was more important.
"President, the opening ceremony will start soon," Lester entered the door and reported, "We only have
20 minutes to go. We might be late if there's traffic along the way."novelbin
Heinz glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "Let's go right away."
He quickly went downstairs.
The two of them headed straight to the event venue.
By the time they arrived, it seemed that the ceremony had already started.
Everyone turned to look at Heinz as soon as he appeared.
"Wow, it's Heinz Jones," the girl next to Alice Smith shouted excitedly.
Alice was also surprised. "Isn't that Heinz?"
"Is he here to attend this opening ceremony?" Alice wondered.
She saw his tall body walking towards that direction, and all she heard was girls screaming at him.
"He's really handsome. He's 100 times more handsome than in the newspaper and magazines," the girl
beside Alice praised.
