"Yeah... it's fixed now." Stanhope Brown lit a cigarette, answering simply.
"After I finish going through these documents at your place, I'll drive myself back..."
Stanhope tossed the lighter on the tea table nonchalantly, and began, "I've already told your elder brother, you won't be going home tonight..."
Grace Gordon's mouth was full of cake, unable to swallow, not going home tonight... does that mean... sharing a bed with Stanhope again?
Grace instinctively felt her back stiffen, she had experienced Stanhope's madness and passion last night, and absolutely did not want a repeat tonight!
Stanhope seemed to see through Grace's thoughts, softly saying, "Don't worry... I won't do anything to you, you're tired today..."
Grace was slightly relieved to hear this, after all, Stanhope was the Secretary of State, and his word should count!
So, Grace continued reading the documents after eating her cake, with Stanhope sitting beside her all the while.
