I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 61

Caden's heart thudded, “Grace, whether you believe it or not, there's a misunderstanding about this matter.”

A misunderstanding?

Grace looked at Caden, he actually said that there was some misunderstanding about this matter?

“President Shaw, you wouldn't want to say that you had nothing to do with this matter, that you didn't know about this matter, right?” She did not know whether to laugh or cry, she just felt like she was suffocating inside and could not breathe!

“Do you believe it yourself, President Shaw? Who would dare to do such a thing to me without your signal!”

Caden's face became stagnant... Yeah! Who would dare to do such a thing to her without his signal!

Was it really like what Humbert said, that his attitude towards her three years ago, his attitude towards the whole thing, determined Grace's situation and experience in the past three years?

So, that's why those people treated her with such impunity?

Caden raised his head to look at her, “If I say...”

“You don't have to say it. I'll believe anything you say, really.” Grace said with a smile. Does it matter whether I believe it or not?

Just by looking at Grace, Caden knew that Grace did not believe him. So, he suddenly clenched his fist, swallowing the words he was about to use to explain the situation.

“Fine, since you love work so much, then go and work hard. Within a month, if you can put five million on the table, I'll let you go. Otherwise, it's useless for you to go anywhere.”

Caden's expression was cold when he spoke to Grace.

“What President Shaw says is final, since I still owe you a huge sum of five million, and you ordered that it must be paid back within a month.”

Grace said, “Then, President Shaw, I'm going to work first.”

Caden's heart was on fire, but his eyes were even colder, staring at the woman in front of him with a deadly stare, she really wanted to pay off the five million dollars early and leaving him so badly?!

Why?

She did all this for Leon?

At that instance, a mixture of emotions consisting of anger, jealousy, exasperation, heartache... everything all over the place, like a palette, all mixed together!

And Caden did not even notice the change in his heart, he only knew that Grace had made him angry and annoyed.

After the person left, Caden took out his cell phone and called Gloria: “That damn woman is about to go to work at the Royal Club and there are sleeping pills over there at Kirk’s. So, when that damn woman goes to the Royal Club, you can to trick her into eating half a sleeping pill.”

“... President Shaw, who are you talking about?" Gloria was baffled.

“Grace James!”

Eh, the President seemed to be furious? It was because of Grace again?

“Taking sleeping pills for no reason... is not good, is it?”

“Ask her if it's okay for her to go to work with a fever at thirty-eight point three degrees.”

“Er, I understand, when Grace arrives at the Royal Club, I will mix sleeping pills with hot water and make her drink it.”

Gloria was understanding, knowing that Grace was really putting importance on earning money then her health.

“Right, you don't have to arrange a job for her anymore.” Trying to replace the five million dollars and trying to leave? Not a chance!

“... This, I know. But whether the person is at the Royal Club, or in the PR department. We can't just leave her hanging, it's not good, people will see it, and after some time, they will start spreading wild speculation.”

“Just fire anyone who gossips, do I need to teach you this too?"

Caden said in a cold voice.

“...”

Since you are the president here, so what you say, goes? You just take the whole Royal Club and use it as your toy, that is also your matter, as long as the president is happy.

Gloria thought that sometimes, this person, Caden, can really be capricious because he is rich.

…

Grace arrived at the Royal Club, and as soon as she walked into the gate of the Royal Club, she was called by Gloria.

“Grace, please come to my office.”

She silently followed behind Gloria all the way into the elevator aisle and into Gloria's office.

“What is it, Gloria? Did you come to do some work?”

Gloria's hand, which was about to pick up the cup, trembled a bit ... She was really afraid that the words said just now will become this silly girl's catchphrase.

“Miss Grace, sit down first.” She went to pour a cup of water for Grace, quietly mixing it with half a sleeping pill. Then, she poured half a glass of hot water, and shook the glass. When the sleeping pill was almost dissolved in the water, she poured in cold water again and mixed.

“Here, come drink some water first.”

“Ok, thanks Gloria." Ever since she woke up from the hospital, she had been very thirsty. This cup of water bought by Gloria was timed really well, “I am just feeling thirsty, you are such a nice person, Gloria.”

Gloria who was standing on the side, laughed unnaturally... silly girl, you are too naive, President Shaw just wanted me to feed you some sleeping pills, please do not think blindly.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Grace drank all the water in the cup, and handed the cup to herself, “Gloria, is there more?”

“Er... yes! There is there is! Of course, there is!”

Grace drank two glasses of water in a row before she stopped feeling so thirsty.

“Gloria, any work?”

Gloria was shocked, she was really afraid of Grace saying this sentence... she was already afraid of it before, does this silly girl only think about earning money?

“Not at the moment.” Even if there is, I do not dare to give it to you, President Shaw personally ordered that you cannot be assigned a job.

As much as she felt sorry for Grace, Gloria did not dare to disobey Caden's order.

She had followed Caden for a long time, slowly reached her current position, she had seen with her own eyes what Caden's means and abilities were. ... She's also afraid.

“Gloria, why do I feel more and more sleepy?" Grace's eyelids started to close as she spoke.

“That's how people with fever are, you should just see a doctor at the hospital, no matter how bad thing is, you still should be lying at home.” Gloria touched Grace's forehead, “It's useless even if you come to the Royal Club, there's no work for you at the moment. You just came in vain so how about this, you sleep here for a while now.”

“Well ... But President Shaw said the five million must be paid back in a month ... Gloria, I'm going to wash my face."

Grace was starting to be a bit confused when she talked, Gloria looked at her forcing herself to stay awake.

In her ears, she recalled what Grace had just said, President Shaw wanted Grace to pay off five million in a month? ... No wonder President Shaw asked her not to give Grace a job.

It was simply impossible to make Grace pay back five million dollars in a month, that was just impossible, even if she added all the money earned before, there was still no way she can make five million dollars in a month.

President Shaw was asking Grace to complete a task that is simply impossible, this means that President Shaw had no intention of letting Grace complete the task!

“Well ... Gloria …”

Hearing Grace’s voice was starting to sound mudded-headed, Gloria looked down, oh boy, the effect of the medicine was working.

From the cupboard, she took out a blanket. Usually she would also take a nap on the sofa when she was tired.

Gloria bent down and covered Grace with the blanket.

About fifteen minutes later, the office door was pushed open, Gloria stood up in a hurry, “President Shen.” It was President Shaw who came, and President Shaw also brought another person with him,

“Hello, Mr. White.”

“Humbert, help injected her with an intravenous drip.”

Humbert was so depressed, “I'm a doctor, doctor! Not a fucking nurse!”

“Oh ~ so you can't even do a nurse's job.”

“Damn! You think I can’t do something as easy as giving an intravenous drip? There is no way I won’t know about this!" Bai Yu Xing grabbed a handful of his hair, feeling a little depressed, but still squatted down and grabbed Grace's palm.

Everything was prepared, and as the needle was just about to stick in ...

“Humbert, don't poke her yet. Please tell us the truth, do you know how to give an intravenous drip or not?”

Humbert's hand, while holding a needle was frightened by the voice and mistakenly poked the wrong blood vessel, the man's expression turned pale at that time, “Humbert, if you don’t know how to do it you have to tell us, I'll find someone who knows, don't be a hero."

Who is trying to be a hero?

Who is trying to be a hero!

Damn you, Caden. If you did not scare me all of a sudden, I would not had poked it in by mistake?

“You don't say anything, Caden Shaw. If I can't poke into her with a single needle, I'll write my resignation letter tomorrow and go back to help my old man, okay."
