Chapter 32: Unexpected Visitor (I)
It was close to seven in the late evening when Grace stepped out of the boutique and climbed into her car. It took her a while to cook up reasons to explain to her designer why she was suddenly asking for such unexpected clothes, but eventually, she succeeded.
Considering the fact that she would be leaving the city in next two days and there was still a lot of supplies that she needed to buy, she decided to not return to her condo yet and headed to a factory making bedding essentials.
