Over the past three years , he had picked up scraps of news about Grace Miller . She had gone abroad to study at a top design institute . Her work had begun appearing in niche exhibitions . Later , she quietly returned home and established her own studio . Each rumor was like a pinprick , too small to wound , yet sharp enough to unsettle him . A restlessness . A hollow sense of loss . And inevitably , he compared her quiet independence to Bella Hart ' s endless demands . The wife he once treated as invisible , disposable ... now seemed to be blossoming , out of his sight , into someone radiant and untouchable . And the brighter she became , the more his so - called " new life " looked chaotic and tawdry in contrast . A week later came the Tri - Cities Philanthropy Gala , the grandest event of its kind , drawing the elite from every field . Alexander arrived with Bella on his arm . Desperate to dominate the spotlight , Bella had chosen an over - embellished gown dripping with sequins , her makeup immaculate but heavy , her laughter pitched too high , her gestures too showy . People turned to look , but not with admiration - more with polite discomfort . Alexander felt the familiar weight of exhaustion settling over him . His gaze drifted , almost unconsciously , around the hall . Then a stir ran through the entrance . Heads turned . Murmurs spread . Grace Miller walked in . She wore a pale satin gown , its clean cut tracing her figure with understated elegance . No jewelry , no ornaments - just the natural curve of her neck and shoulders revealed by a loosely pinned knot of dark hair .

She was there as an artistic consultant and design partner for an international environmental foundation . From the moment she entered , all eyes were drawn to her .. Alexander's eyes locked on her and refused to move . His chest jolted , a fierce thrum pounding through him . This Grace was not the woman who once lowered her gaze , trembling with hurt and submission . She was poised , luminous , and entirely transformed . When had she become so breathtaking ? Bella noticed too . She saw how the room's attention shifted effortlessly toward Grace , away from herself , and jealousy flared instantly , like a spark catching fire . Curling her lips , she raised her voice so others would hear . " Alexander , look at that gown - so plain , so colorless . Honestly , it looks like something you'd wear to a funeral . What an awful choice . " But Alexander barely registered her words . His focus was riveted on the circle of men around Grace . Noah Carter , the young CEO of a booming tech empire . Oliver Reeves , the internationally acclaimed Chinese architect . Harrison Blake , the veteran investor with connections reaching across continents . They leaned toward Grace as they spoke , their eyes alight with genuine respect and admiration . And Grace , standing among them , conversed with ease - calm , confident , effortlessly graceful . Jealousy - hot , sharp , undeniable - erupted inside Alexander's chest . Before he realized what he was doing , his hand slipped from Bella ' s arm . His steps carried him toward her . " Grace . " Her name left his mouth low and firm , edged with something he didn't recognize until later- possessiveness . Chapter12 Wanna watch the rest of " Office Girl " ?
