However, many people in Emerald City now knew that Lily and Sean Stevens were engaged and would
soon get married. Andrea Schwartz, when mentioning Sean Stevens, mentioned ‘ex-boyfriend’ as if it
was a conscious reminder of something.
Grace stared at Andrea Schwartz, suddenly understanding something.
There was a flash of discomfort in Andrea Schwartz's face as Grace stared at her. She was looking at
Andrea Schwartz as though she could see right through her.
However, she told herself, ‘So what if she can see through me? Grace is no longer the rising star in the
industry.’ Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
She had joined the firm together with Grace back then, but the person everybody laid eyes on was
Grace only.
The colleagues in the office all used to say that Grace was going to be a big lawyer soon because she
was doing great in her career and love life.
When Andrea Schwartz made mistakes at work, her mentor in the firm would ask her to be more like
Grace. This made her indignant, but she was helpless.
Grace was like a mountain on her head. As long as Grace was in the firm, the others would always
compare both of them who were in the same batch.
She, in turn, would forever live in Grace's shadow.
Then, when Grace had her accident, Andrea Schwartz was happy about it. She even thought that God
was helping her by causing something to happen to Grace.
Sure enough, after Grace went to prison, everybody stopped comparing her with Grace.
"Grace, don't mind about it. I just care about you. It must be hard being a sanitation service worker,"
Andrea Schwartz said with fake sympathy.
"It's all right. It's not that hard," Grace said. At least being a sanitation service worker was a lot better
than being in prison.
"How can it not be hard? As a sanitation service worker, you have to sweep the floor and tidy up
rubbish bins every day. People say that sanitation service workers smell bad after being one for too
long," Andrea Schwartz said, obviously thinking that Grace was lying.
As Andrea Schwartz spoke, there was an unmistakable sense of disdain in her eyes.
"You can stay away from me if you think I smell," Grace said bluntly.
Andrea Schwartz's expression stiffened before smiling. "We're colleagues. How can I despise you? By
the way, you can come back to the law firm whenever you're free! Everybody misses you."
Andrea Schwartz sounded as though she was making a passionate invitation, but in reality, the words
struck a sharp blow at Grace's heart.
It was her dream to become a lawyer, and when she realized it, she dreamt of a day when she could
become a real virtuous lawyer in the legal field. She wanted to strive for justice in her heart.
However, that dream had shattered long ago.
Andrea Schwartz saw the faint flash in Grace's eyes and felt more energized. "By the way, I have a
boyfriend now. He's a doctor, and he's out waiting for me. Shall I introduce him to you later?"
