Carol quickly turned around to fetch the coffee for us.
She hesitated and looked at Grayson. She couldn't hold back and asked casually, "Have you had breakfast? Are you just drinking coffee?" Grayson looked helpless. "When do I have tfor breakfast? I need to report this. After the briefing, I'll grab a bite and sleep." Carol walked out. I knew she must be preparing something for him.
Grayson took a big sip and continued, "Unexpectedly, life is full of twists and turns. One day, Keller's Dairy suddenly encountered trouble." "What?" I exclaimed.

As expected, Grayson continued, "Byron took over Keller's Dairy at the critical moment and eventually emerged at the top." I didn't want to hear anymore. I had a hunch that all of this was related to Beatrice's father.
Grayson, however, continued, "When Helen's mother had a stroke, Jocelyn helped take care of the old lady. Not long after, the old lady passed away."

Grayson looked at Carol teasingly. "Carol, you're making progress. I'm starving. I had to fill my stomach with coffee." He wore a pitiful look and glanced at Carol with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.
Carol sneakily glanced at me, pretended to be shocked, and asked hushedly, "Why aren't you eating yet?! Stop talking. Don't drink too much coffee. It's not good for your stomach." After saying that, she hurriedly went out to pour a cup of hot water and then blushed as she left.
Lauren timely commented, "Grayson, Carol is a good girl. Don't act clueless." Grayson grinned. "She just gotfood, and look at how nosy you two are." But I didn't want to listen anymore and asked him, "Are we being nosy? You little scoundrel. You're so heartless!" "That's unscrupulous, Ms. Chloe!" He exclaimed.
"It's two different things. Don't interrupt me," I scolded him.

I disdainfully said, "Go on." Seeing that he had successfully changed the subject, Grayson quickly continued.
