Chapter 64: Gracie Was Sick

After the incident, Gracie decided not to make coffee regularly anymore.

Whenever she made coffee, she always took care to make a cup of freshly ground black coffee for
Rayan.

Janessa would be left with the leftovers.

To Janessa, this small act of defiance from Gracie was no big deal.

It was good enough for Janessa to have a cup of coffee.

Janessa wondered how long Gracie would continue to come to the office.

It couldn't go on forever.By the third consecutive day, an "accident"occurred.

Among the three people inside the office, only two of them had real work to do.

During the day, the office was so quiet that the only sound you could hear was the clacking of the
computer keyboards.

Whenever Rayan was stressed with all the work to be done, he would lean against the sofa and
massage his forehead to relax.

Gracie would then leave the room to make two cups of coffee.

Then, she would place it on the table for her and Rayan to enjoy.

After that, she quietly followed Rayan around like a doting wife and began to massage his neck.

Rayan could never refuse her and enjoyed the treat of a massage.

Since Gracie was a doctor, she was able to give effective massages that relieved fatigue.



She used different methods depending on which body parts ached."Rayan, you should get some rest if
you're tired.You're only human, after all.Even if you can bear it, maybe Janessa can't.She should be
allowed to rest as well.Look at her! She's still a young woman, but the dark circles under her eyes are
getting worse with every day that passes! People might accuse you of overworking your employees."

On the surface, it seemed as if Gracie was concerned about Janessa's welfare, but the truth was, she
only wanted to comment on how haggard Janessa looked.

Gracie wanted to insinuate that Janessa couldn't continue to do her job properly.Janessa stifled the
urge to laugh.In response, she merely stood up and stretched when she felt tired.

There was no way anyone could stop her from working.

This was her job, and it was her duty to finish it.

Gracie couldn't help them in any way.

"She'll be fine.Janessa knows she's free to rest whenever she's tired,"

Rayan murmured without opening his eyes.

He was too distracted by the massage Gracie was giving him.

Janessa couldn't stand the sight of them for much longer.

The two of them had been parading their love for one another in front of her.

It was a nauseating sight for her.

Although they didn't kiss, it irked Janessa whenever Gracie massaged Rayan's shoulders or made him
a cup of coffee.



For many times, Gracie’s running around distracted Janessa.

However, there was nothing Janessa could do about it.

After all, she wasn't his wife anymore.

She was only an employee of the Lu Group.

It would be inappropriate for her to comment on their behavior.

"I'll step out for a moment to get some rest."

Janessa stood up and left the office, leaving the two of them alone in the room.

The moment Janessa arrived at the planning department, Gracie had gone downstairs to look for her.

‘Doesn't Gracie have her own work to do?’ Janessa wondered.

Gracie was in Rayan's office with them every day.

What hospital would allow her to skip work so often? Janessa waited for Gracie to state her business,
but Gracie never mentioned anything useful.

At every moment she could, Gracie took care to walk in front of Janessa.

Whenever she walked in front of Janessa, she flipped her hair to showcase the red marks on her neck.

Was that the only thing Gracie had on her mind these days? Did she have nothing better to do than to
irritate Janessa with her prized red marks? What was the matter with her? Janessa didn't mention
seeing the red marks at all.

She knew that Gracie was trying to gloat about her sex life with Rayan.



What did that have to do with Janessa? "Gracie, you don't seem to be too busy these days.Does the
hospital you work for know that you spend all of your time here?"

Janessa couldn't help but comment.

Seeing Gracie loitering around their office every day was beginning to get on Janessa's nerves.

However, Gracie interpreted her reaction as jealousy.

She believed that Janessa was jealous of how affectionate Rayan was with her.

"That's none of your concern.Rayan is waiting for you upstairs, so you shouldn't keep him waiting."

Janessa made herself a cup of milk tea before looking up at Gracie's receding figure.

These days, she had been drinking an excessive amount of coffee.

Today, she decided it would be better for her to have tea instead.Gracie not only delayed their work, but
she also got on Janessa's nerves.

Janessa wished Gracie would get sick and be forced to go home.

As soon as the milk tea was ready, she was ready to go to Rayan's office.

Before she could take a sip of her tea, Rayan suddenly rushed out of his office with Gracie in his arms?
‘Did my dream come true already?’ Janessa couldn't help but think to herself.

Janessa gave Rayan a confused look.

His eyes were frantic and full of worry.

The memory of her massive hemorrhage popped up in Janessa's mind.



If Rayan were as concerned about her at the time, Gordon wouldn't have had to sign her abortion
operation.

"I need to leave the work with you.If you can't finish it alone, please find someone to help you."

After Rayan gave his instructions, he quickly carried Gracie into the elevator.

He decided to take the exclusive elevator so it would be faster to transport Gracie.

Janessa noticed that the elevator stopped at the underground floor of the building.

How pathetic! Their child wasn't as important to Rayan as Gracie was.

SU gs baie im bine She was no match for the great love Rayan and Gracie shared.

Janessa merely shook her head in disappointment and returned to the office.

When she noticed the mess on the floor, she wondered what had happened.

"I used to be a planner, but I guess I'm a cleaner now too."

Janessa took a deep breath before she got to work cleaning the office.

There was no way Janessa could work in a mess like this.

She had no choice but to swallow her pride and tidy it up herself.

After that, she quickly began her work.

These past few days, she and Rayan were overwhelmed with work.

Now, Rayan had left her all alone.



At that moment, Janessa wished she had three heads and six arms so she could work faster.

Because of how busy Janessa was, she lost track of time.

All of a sudden, her phone alarmed, signaling that it was time to go home.

Rayan was still nowhere to be found.

‘I didn't expect that horrible woman to be so frail.Maybe something happened to her because she was
having sex with Rayan too much, ' Janessa snickered to herself.

She quickly packed her things and prepared to leave for work.

When she was about to walk out of the office, Corbin suddenly entered.

"Ms.Janessa, are you on your way home?" he asked.

"I've finished what I could.There's still some work to be.I'll leave it for Mr.Rayan tomorrow." Janessa
shook her head, suddenly feeling a migraine coming.

"Are you okay? You don't look so good." Corbin had come to visit Janessa as per Rayan's instructions.

Her face was pale, and he felt like something was wrong with her.

Janessa swiped a hand over her forehead and replied, "I'm fine.I haven't been sleeping much recently.I
need to go home and get some sleep.I'll be good to go tomorrow.I should leave now."

Janessa sighed to herself as she looked down at the plan in her hands.

Although she came from a wealthy background, she didn't take that for granted.

She was a hard worker and more than capable of finishing the job well.



Corbin couldn't understand why Rayan would leave such a capable wife and go for someone like
Gracie.

Even if he disagreed with Rayan's choices, there was nothing he could do about it.

He felt pity for Janessa.

Before Janessa left, Corbin collected the documents from her
