Grace’s first reaction was that Jason would go after the small restaurant. An up-and-coming company that others said had a bright future was currently in doubt and would probably be rid of, not to mention a small restaurant.
“I… I hadn’t thought of it that way,” she muttered. She did not want anything to happen to Kyla’s small restaurant because of her. After all, she could see that Kyla was a nice person. With a deaf son, she must be heavily burdened.
