Evelin's POV
Grace studied me, searching for traces of hidden anguish across my features.
She found nothing.
I delivered those words with complete composure.
"Quit the act!" Grace snapped with irritation. "You divorced Grey. How could you possibly not despise me? Why else would you emerge from the executive's office?"
"You think I'm at Apex Airways solely because of you?" I replied with amusement.
I'd come to Apex Airways simply because I needed to board a flight carrying my parents' ashes back to my hometown, Bellatrix.
That's why I was here explaining the circumstances and having everything documented.
When Apex Airways executives discovered the ashes I was transporting belonged to a martyr, they specifically arranged this meeting with me.
But I saw no reason to share any of this with Grace.
"If you despise me, I want you to admit it openly and directly, rather than scheming behind my back." Grace raised her chin arrogantly and cast a contemptuous look my way.
