I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 43

"Grace, tell me!" Gloria was so clever that Grace could not fool her easily. Her pretty face was cold, “So, the reason you rest is

not that you are tired?"

 

After saying this, Gloria picked up her mobile phone and looked at Grace, "If you don't tell me, then I will call Mr. Caden

directly."

 

Gloria was too anxious, so she said this.

 

"Gloria, Mr. Caden will not care about me."

 

Gloria was stunned. This time, what Grace said was true.

 

Gloria thought of Caden. He was the one who was the cruelest to Grace.

 

She was afraid that if she called him now and told him that Grace's head was hit hurt, he would just be indifferent.

 

"OK, Grace. I won't call Mr. Caden. I'll call your manager of public relations.”

 

Grace's face turned white, "Don't call Manager Xu, please.” Gloria was shocked. Was Grace so afraid of Manager Xu? Grace

looked pale and pleaded to Gloria.

 

"Gloria, don't call Manager Xu."

 

Manager Xu didn't like her at all. If she was hated by Manager Xu because of this, she would be transferred from the public

relations department. Then, where could she raise five million to pay back that man?

 

"I will tell you. I... I hit the doorknob.”

 

“How did you hit the doorknob?" Gloria was very smart. How could a person suddenly hit the doorknob?

 

"When I went back that day, it suddenly rained. I was drenched in the rain and felt dizzy.” Grace still concealed what Ruby had

done.

 

She didn't harbor Ruby, nor did she love Ruby. She just didn't want to be hated by anyone again.

 

She was scared.

 

Caden had made her suffer a lot.

 

The feeling of being hated by someone was not well at all.

 

Gloria looked at Grace in front of her with sharp eyes, and seemed to be judging whether what Grace said was true.

 

After a while, Gloria's attitude softened, “The wound on your forehead hasn't healed yet. Go back to take a rest. It's not too late

to go back to work after the wound heals. I'll inform your manager.”

 

"No.

 

In addition to drinking, Grace, who had always been obedient to anything, defied Gloria in front of her. Gloria was shocked,

“Listen to me."

 

“No. I'm fine.”

 

“You are not in good health. The line on your forehead has not been removed."

 

"Gloria, if you really love me, please give me more work."

 

Those words made Gloria feel unhappy but heartache.

 

Knowing that this person in front of her, who was shameless to others, was really stubborn, Gloria rubbed her eyebrows. "You

go out first.” Even if she stopped Grace, she guessed that the fool woman would try her best to make more money.

 

Gloria had five million, and she also could give it to Grace. But, if Caden knew that she gave Grace money, she would be

miserable.

 

After Grace left, Gloria looked at the check on the table. Without hesitation, she transferred 100,000 from her account to the

bank card Caden gave Grace.

 

Of course, the bank was closed, but people like them could handle business that others couldn't handle.

 

As for the check, Gloria put it in her safe.

 

New York City.

 

Different from the time in S City, it was the daytime here.

 

The conference room of the N City branch was located on the 65th floor of the whole skyscraper. A man sat in the first seat of

the conference room. His cell phone which was placed on the table vibrated. The man glanced down at the mobile phone screen

and squinted abruptly.

 

Over there, the blonde man was still reporting. The man reached for his cell phone on the conference table and clicked on his

unread text messages.

 

This was the bank remittance message. Looking at the amount of money, the man’s black eyes flashed over the danger.

 

He suddenly stood up, scared others into sitting square. That man who was reporting was so scared that he stopped his

report suddenly and was worried about whether he said something wrong, offended his Asian boss.

 

The man walked to the French window, reached out and dialed a number. The phone was connected soon.

 

"Who gave her the money?"

 

The cold voice, through the microphone, was delivered to Gloria, who was in the Royal Club.

 

Gloria was surprised, but then understood. She remitted the 100,000 that Grace gave her to the bank card of Mr. Caden. The

mobile phone linked to the bank card was Mr. Caden's.

 

After the money here was remitted, Mr. Caden was able to receive the remittance message after a period of time.

"A stranger."

 

Gloria tried her best to say it objectively and did not conceal it.

 

“What did she do this time?"

 

This question was somewhat baffling, but Gloria understood Caden’s implication. Caden was asking why others would give

Grace 100,000, and what did Grace exchange for it.

 

Hesitated for a moment, Gloria did not know whether to say.

 

On this side, the man was impatient for her hesitation and silence, “What are you going to help her hide?"

 

“No. Grace didn't do anything too much.” Gloria couldn't figure out what Caden thought. Caden always had a deep mind. But

she also knew that no one could stand his means if Caden was cruel. She could only euphemistically say.

 

"Grace just gave the man a kiss.”

 

Gloria thought that this should not be a matter. In Royal Club, a kiss was nothing. Therefore, although she was worried, she

didn't think that Grace would offend the indifferent Caden in this way.

 

In New York, the man hung up coldly.

 

He looked out of the window with a cold face. No one knew what he was thinking. In the meeting room, people were scared.

 

The boss was deep in his mind and no one could see through him. But at the moment, people couldn't breathe in the oppressive atmosphere.

 

All people shrunk their shoulders and tried not to make any noise.

 

Caden looked out of the window with cold eyes. His face was as beautiful and cold as jade. He smiled coldly. Was it not too

much?

 

There was a glint of mockery in his eyes, as well as an irresistible anger.

 

Looking out of the window, Caden remembered that the night before he came to New York, he also stood in front of the

window of the hotel style apartment on the 28th floor of Royal Club, looking at YES Club. He didn't know why. He hated to see that the woman was humble and didn't have self-dignity. He didn't want to see such a Grace again!

 

He did not understand why Grace, who could not affect his mood three years ago, could make him angry after she was

released from prison now. As long as he saw such a Grace, he couldn't help feeling angry. Since he didn't want to see her, then he came to N City!

 

He thought that his mood swings in these days were just because that he was not used to facing the poor woman who was

totally different from his impression.

 

Maybe after coming to New York, he could have a period of time without seeing such a mean and poor Grace, and those

inexplicable mood swings would automatically disappear.

 

But she kissed someone else again?

 

Was she really cheap and shameless enough to be able to do anything?

 

“Kirk, prepare to return." Caden gave the order with a frosty face.
