Grace's heart was racing and she swallowed hard when she made a eye contact with the man's dark eyes.

"Yes, the hotel just had a male VIP guest. He is quite picky, so I have to served him myself. Louis, how do you know?" Could he be spying on her?

Louis body leaned back slightly, "You smell of smoke."

So that was it!

Grace became so uptight and tried, "Louis, do you mind if I receive male guests? If you do mind ..."

"It's your job. I won't interfere."

Louis waved his hand and looked at her, "I came here today because I have another things to ask you."

"What is it?"

Grace asked with a sigh of relief and a smile.

"Were you the one who got Rydon Food back as a partner of Palace Hotel?"

Grace froze, and her fingers were tugging tight.

He knew that so quickly?

Hadn't she hinted to Ivan that he didn't have to report this to Louis?

Had Violet tipped him off?

"Yes."

Grace lowered her eyes slightly in response.

"Why?"

Louis looked at her, and his eyes were deep in concentration.

"It's because I think Rydon Food is the old partner of Palace Hotel. So I can't dismiss it because of one mistake. It will disappoint them."

Grace explained in a soft voice.

Louis didn't say anything, but his sharp eyes looked like he wanted to see through her.

Grace bit her lip and raised her eyes to look at him, "Louis, in fact, the head of Rydon Food Philip is my uncle. He used to be very good to me, so I can't bear to see him lose the cooperation. That's why I suggested Ivan to cooperate with them again."

Louis narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "So, you created an incident in order to get Rydon Food to work with Palace Hotel again? So that Tasty Interlude Bakery would be out?"

Hearing this, Grace's eyes widened, "I didn't, Louis. You can't wrongly accuse me!"

Louis didn't say anything. Just his deep eyes looked directly at her with a hint of scrutiny.

Grace's eyes were red, "Louis, I can swear to God that I didn't do anything like that. And if I tell a lie, I'll kill myself!

The woman looked aggrieved and stoic, and made a vicious oath. Then his scrutinizing look slightly subsided.

"Grace, in the business world, I hate it when people use their power for personal gain. This time, for your sake, I'll give Philip a chance, and it won't happen again."

She got away with it!

Grace was overjoyed and quickly thanked him, "Thank you Louis."

Louis took out his cell phone and dialed Harry's number.

"Harry, tell Ivan to inform Tasty Interlude Bakery that the cooperation will continue as usual. Also, tell him. He is in charge of the hotel. And he has to have his own opinion and judgment. If he is influenced by others again, he can leave."

These words were a disguised warning to Ivan that he should be scrupulous in separating public from private interests.

It was also a disguised warning to Grace not to overstep her authority.

Grace bit her lip and lowered her eyes slightly to hide her anger.

Tasty Interlude Bakery was still in the game.

It was a small bakery. Louis did it because of Violet?

After Louis hung up the phone, Grace raised her eyes to look at him.

"Louis, do you regret the divorce?"

Louis' hand on the phone paused and his eyes moved.

Grace's eyes were shining with tears, "I went to Balridge Manor, but Maria stopped me at the door. Does she want you and Miss Elliott to remarry? Want her to be Luka's stepmother?"

What she said made Louis compress his lips without speaking.

Grace pinched herself hard and tears fell down from her eyes.

"Louis, I'm not saying Miss Elliott is not good. But Luka is my son. I can't live without him. If you want to remarry her, then give me Luka and I'll take him out of here."

Hearing this, Louis glanced at her and said in a deep voice, "Luka is my son. There is no way I will let you take him away."
