After time she was running out of cash flow  so she needs to move back to the and get back to the high flying job thanks she run from or get more jobs around town. She already delivers flowers ,  life modelling but she needs more so when she gets a call regarding dog walking she tells a little white lie on her experience with dogs as the client sounds desperate when she arrives at the clients home and never expected the puppy from hell, but she losses the puppy he runs out of the house down the beach towards the sea she knows that this is the end of the dog walking service for the hot Dr Scott how turns up with the puppy in hand and she is water all over from running in the sea after the puppy from hell but he pays  way over the top but a   A deal was made that if she lost the puppy he would kiss her !!!! The next morning Josh ( hot Dr Scott) was hitting a brick wall with the nanny looking after the evil puppy and now she is not even looking after Toby Josh son and now Josh is looking all over town for Grace. He finally finds her at the Art gallery modelling for most of the older ladies about town  for their life drawing class which Josh comes crashing in on and Grace uses this to her advantage and gets triple pay but told the ladies that she would have taken payment in a kiss as she could not stop flirting when she was around Josh and thought that Josh would not come through on the deal , but she was wrong and he came through ........
