Chapter 13 Caleb’s Background

“Why am I the last one to find out that you’re home? I can’t believe you didn’t tell me, Gracie! Was our friendship just a lie?”

Grace recognized the voice of her third older brother, Caleb Lewis.

Caleb wasn’t her biological brother. Her family had adopted him after his parents had abandoned him at birth.

Grace didn’t look up from her documents. “Take a seat and be quiet. Don’t disturb me.”

It had been three days, and she still needed to get through all the documents Aaron’s secretary had given her.

In just a day, she had received hundreds of phone calls from various international organizations around the world. She felt flustered.

Caleb didn’t mind her curtness. He sat down on the couch.

“Aaron’s being too harsh on you. How does he expect you to get through all of this? He’s training you to be his heir, and it’s going to be exhausting.

“Come with me on my world tour. Think of it as a break.”

“I don’t want to,” Grace said as she cleaned up her desk.

“Remember the time when your fans thought I was your girlfriend? If it hadn’t been for Aaron, I would have been hospitalized from having rotten eggs thr

“You remember that?” Caleb laughed.

“Clearly you’re very interested in me! That’s why you remember our moments together!”

Grace rolled her eyes at him in exasperation. “You need a therapist.”

Caleb continued to smirk at her. “You’re the only therapist I need.”

Thankfully, Grace was used to this. She wasn’t uncomfortable with his flirting.

Caleb loved to sing and was a well–known singer. Even though he was very busy, he still found

time to take care of her.

Back when she had insisted on marrying Benjamin, Caleb had canceled his upcoming concert and wanted to fly to Pamore to fight him. Thankfully, Aaro

In retrospect, she wondered why she had fallen for Benjamin when there had been so many better men around her.

“I’m getting a call. Excuse me for a moment.”

“Yes, sir.”

Their voices faded away. The large room became silent again.

The president’s assistant…

This was pretty much the highest position in the company, apart from the president himself.

Grace clenched her fists. This time, she wouldn’t let Aaron down.

“Surprise!”

On the second day after Grace had moved into the office on the top floor of Amirate Corporation, a man burst into her office.

“I don’t want to,” Grace said as she cleaned up her desk.

“Remember the time when your fans thought I was your girlfriend? If it hadn’t been for Aaron, I would have been hospitalized from having rotten eggs thrown at me.”

“You remember that?” Caleb laughed.

“Clearly you’re very interested in me! That’s why you remember our moments together!”

Grace rolled her eyes at him in exasperation. “You need a therapist.”

In retrospect, she wondered why she had fallen for Benjamin when there had been so many better men around her.

“I’m getting a call. Excuse me for a moment.”

Grace glanced at her vibrating phone. The call was from an unknown number.

Caleb shut his mouth and watched her go over to the window to answer the call.

“Hello, is this the new president’s assistant at Amirate Corporation? I just wanted to call to see if we can talk about Hawkins Group’s participation in Dara

It was Larry.

Aaron had told her that he would block all incoming calls from Hawkins Group. They had probably figured that out, so they had used an unknown number to call her.

It had probably been Benjamin’s idea.

“There’s really nothing much to talk about. Hawkins Group didn’t contribute enough in sponsorship. I think the last secretary told you that before,” Grace said truthfully.

Hawkins Group had only managed to qualify because she had spoken to Aaron on Benjamin’s behalf.

“Ms. Lewis?” Larry sounded shocked.

He had worked with Grace for quite some time, so he could recognize her voice.

Grace didn’t deny or admit anything. “I’m busy. Goodbye.”

After hanging up the phone, she huffed out a breath.

Larry was definitely calling from Benjamin’s office. In fact, Benjamin was probably listening to their call as well.

She could almost imagine his expression.

Just as she had guessed, Larry handed Benjamin the phone. He was still in shock. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Mr. Hawkins, the new president’s assistant at Amirate Corporation sounded a lot like Ms. Lewis. She… How did she…”

Benjamin’s expression was stiff. He had heard Grace’s voice too.

Not long ago, Larry had told him that he couldn’t find any information about Grace’s supposed parents in the countryside.

That meant that Grace’s background was all fake!

The woman had lied to Hawkins family for three years!

“Mr. Hawkins, what are we going to do about the expo?”

Larry watched Benjamin’s dark expression uncertainly. Were they still going to the expo?

Benjamin pursed his l*ps and said, “Keep calling her.”
