Chapter 631: Chapter 630: Intimacy

Professor Tate attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony at Fiona Grant’s company today, which took a considerable toll on him. On the way back, when South Grant was driving him home, he couldn’t hold on and fell asleep.

Once they reached the hospital and the doctor confirmed that there was nothing wrong with his health, South Grant finally left at ease.

Fiona Grant’s company is basically finished. The few pieces of news that broke out at the ribbon-cutting ceremony were enough to bring her newly established company to its knees.

First of all, Fiona Grant showed no respect for her mentors, engaging in a dispute with Professor Tate on-site, which was posted online by netizens, revealing her true nature to everyone.

Secondly, Professor Tate personally exposed issues with the whitening cream produced by Fiona Grant’s company. The ingredients in the cream were significantly problematic, leading to dependency, and long-term use could cause cancer. Netizens were no longer willing to use such a potentially hazardous product.

Consequently, other products from Fiona Grant’s company also faced boycotts. Distributors demanded returns and compensation, and consumers lost trust, pushing Fiona Grant into a downward spiral.

Compared to Fiona Grant, South Grant’s situation was much better. At least the reputation was salvaged, and as for the products sold, they could only speed up the recall process and destroy them quickly, stabilizing The Ellison Group’s stock to some extent.

Having dealt with these issues, South Grant exhaled deeply.

She hadn’t returned home for two consecutive days, and Nathan Foster’s messages had a hint of complaint. If she didn’t go back today, he might personally come to get her.

After sorting out everything, South Grant was ready to go home. This time, she wanted to take a break for herself. The moment she returned, she immediately began to handle The Ellison Group’s matters without stopping.

Now that things were more or less settled, it was time for her to take a breather.

Exhausted, South Grant returned home to find Nathan Foster absent. She filled the bathtub and then sank into it.

The warm water seemed to wash away her fatigue. South Grant leaned against the tub, feeling drowsy.

Sleep overtook her, and South Grant dozed off just like that.

She dreamed that she had turned into a little fish, swimming through the water. Gradually, she felt it hard to breathe and tried to open her eyes, but couldn’t.

Then she felt a large hand suddenly scoop her up. South Grant took several deep breaths before slowly opening her eyes.

Afterward, she found Nathan Foster holding her arms, his brows tightly furrowed.

"Sleeping while taking a bath? Were you planning to drown yourself in the tub?" Nathan Foster asked coldly.

"I was just too tired," South Grant said, realizing something was wrong. She then looked down.

Her prominent peaks that were flawless as white jade were exposed entirely to Nathan Foster.

"Ah..." South Grant exclaimed, reaching out to cover herself, but with only two hands, how could she fully conceal anything?

Watching her attempt to cover herself, Nathan Foster’s throat bobbed.

When he entered and saw South Grant’s belongings outside and called for her at the bathroom door with no answer, Nathan Foster got scared. He opened the bathroom door and found her completely submerged in the water.

Clearly, she had fallen asleep. If it continued, she’d drown herself for sure. Without thinking, Nathan Foster scooped her up.

Initially, it was no big deal, but now watching her try to hide herself stirred some amorous thoughts in him.
