Chapter 3
I’ve Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 3
She walked slowly, step by step towards the platform more than 100 meters away. She was carrying a black plastic bag with 6 dollar and 5 cents and an ID card in it.
In the hot summer, she was walking on the gravel road. Today’s temperature was at least 91.4 F. The woman walked under the sun, but she had no a drop of sweat.
When the bus came, the woman got on the bus and carefully took out a coin from the black plastic bag and put it into the coin box of the bus.
There was no one on the bus. The driver took a look at her, and then looked away in disgust… The people who got on the bus here were all prisoners in the prison. How could they be good people?
The woman didn’t seem to see the driver’s eyes. She walked to the back seat of the bus. She chose a seat to sit down, trying not to attract attention.
As the car was driving, she looked out the window along the way… Three years had changed a lot.
When the bus drove to a bustling area, she suddenly got a shock… After she was released from the prison, where should she go?
Suddenly, she realized an imminent fact that she had nowhere to go.
Not far from the roadside, the recruitment information attracted her attention.
“Sir, I want to get off the car. Please open the car door.’ Three years of jail life made her arrogance disappear. When she spoke to others, she was always lacking confidence.
The driver complained and opened the door. She thanked the driver and got out of the car.
She walked to the big picture of recruitment information. After looking for a while, her eyes fell on the words ‘cleaner” and the words “bed-and- lunch free.”
“Name.’ The woman said impatiently.
“Grace .James.’ The rough voice sounded slowly. The gorgeous woman who was holding a pen to record the information shuddered. The gel pen in her hand almost fell off the table. She asked Grace dissatisfiedly, “Why is your voice so terrible? ˆ
After three years of hell life in prison, Grace was accustomed to be lukewarm. Even if others had bluntly criticized her voice was unpleasant to ears, she still spoke slowly like a person with no temper. “I†s hurt by the smoke.”
The gorgeous-looking woman was slightly surprised, her inquiring eyes fell on Grace’s face, “Fire?”
“I have no family.’ Grace said calmly.
The gorgeous woman looked at Grace frowningly, and then stopped asking. She stood up and said, “Okay, copy your ID card.”
Standing up from the chair, stepping on the 15-centimeter high-heeled shoes towards the door, the woman suddenly stopped and turned around to warn Grace, “Grace, do you know why Í made an exception to hire you?”
The woman didn’t expect Grace to answer. She went on to say, “Grace, you know yourself well. .Just do what you can do.
You are willing to face yourself and understand what you can do. lf a person who understands what she can do, I believe she also understands what she cant do.
Having said that, the gorgeous woman squinted her eyes, “Grace, Royal Club is not an ordinary entertainment club.”
Grace still answered unhurriedly, ‘l see. My voice ¡is awful. I won† speak casually.’
The gorgeous woman nodded very satisfied. Usually, she wouldn’t teach some newcomers, because those who dared to work in Royal Club must be psychologically prepared.
Unexpectedly, today she would make an exception for a cleaning lady.
Although her status in Royal Club was not low, in this blurred metropolis, which one of the rich and powerful she could offend?……. After entering Royal Club, they should learn the ‘rules'”.
“The manager…’ Grace was a little hard to say, “I don’t have a place to live.”
The gorgeous woman said, ‘Call me Miss Gloria from now on,’ and then took out her mobile phone and made a call, ‘Arno, come here. l just hired a cleaner here. You take her to the staff dormitory.’ After that, she hung up the phone. She said to Grace.
“Come to work tomorrow.”
Then Grace was left here alone.
Looking at the induction report in her hand, she was relieved… Tonight, she didn’t have to sleep in the street.
