Chapter 25
\nI’ve Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 25<\/p>\n
Ruby became gloomy after hearing Gloria’s humiliating words.<\/p>\n
She got angry at Gloria, \u201cGloria, who are you to humiliate me! I am indeed a waiter in the Royal Club, but I earn clean money with my own hard work!<\/p>\n
I earned every penny with my own hard work! None of it was earned like Grace who traded her dignity for it. I think I’ve lived very<\/p>\n
magnanimously. Why should a pure human like me get humiliated?\u201d<\/p>\n
Gloria couldn’t help laughing, \u201cRuby, I’m telling you that if Grace hadn’t helped you out that day… Just by disrespecting the son of Joseph’s family, you would be getting the same treatment from him as Grace today… Oh no, you still can’t compare to Grace!\u201d<\/p>\n
Gloria smiled in depreciation, \u201cYou couldn’t do the things Grace could.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course I can’t, I would never do things as shameless and undignified like that in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gloria nodded, \u201cI hope you can still say that after a week.\u201d<\/p>\n
She’s tired of wasting her words with that pure girl, if after getting forced by people Ruby can still be so pure, then that’s the real purity.<\/p>\n
“One’s choice can lead to one’s fall. Let alone a week, even a month, a year, all my life I’ll say so. I will never do what Grace did for money.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gloria said \u2018oh\u2019 and looked away from Ruby, \u201cOkay, you can go out.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen Gloria, I’ll go back to work.\u201d Ruby turned around.<\/p>\n
When Ruby reached the door, she heard Gloria from her back, \u201cRuby, you must remember that, Grace’s suffering today was what you should have bear by offending the son of Joseph’s family. In this world, there’ll always be something that can make you lower your head. Since you treated Grace like that, then I have no need to protect you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ruby objected, she had never felt Gloria’s protection since she entered the Royal Club. After a deep thought, Gloria’s protection was bull shit.<\/p>\n
However, soon enough, Ruby finally understand how important Gloria’s protection was in the Royal Club.<\/p>\n
In the Royal Club, waiters would probably get teased a little by the customers, but there wouldn’t be anything over the line. This was due to the Royal Club’s reputation and power, and also Gloria’s principles.<\/p>\n
After Ruby left Gloria’s office, very soon, a problem showed up at the Royal Club.<\/p>\n
Ruby didn’t feel it at first, but another student from S University who’s pretty close to her secretly asked, \u201cWhat have you done to offend Gloria?\u201d<\/p>\n
Ruby was angry to hear that, \u201cGloria wanted to punish me?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cStop joking, Gloria would never do anything to waiters just because they did something wrong. Gloria would only refuse to take care of them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ruby pouted, \u201cI thought it was a huge matter, she just hates me right? I can just avoid her.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou… Up to you, just take care of yourself.\u201d the waiter who’s pretty close to Ruby didn’t talk much.<\/p>\n
Ruby seemed not to care about that matter and if Ruby didn’t, why should an outsider like her meddle with and talk about it.<\/p>\n
Gloria sat in the office without thinking too much about Ruby’s matter.<\/p>\n
This time, not only Ruby didn’t understand how to be thankful, she even ridiculed people who had helped her. Otherwise, Gloria wouldn’t be angry with a mere waiter.<\/p>\n
Yes! She admitted that she’s a bit partial towards Grace. Seeing Grace was just like seeing her own self at that time. Thinking of her struggles at that time, Gloria couldn’t help protecting the stupid Grace more.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrace.\u201d Gloria said, \u201cWhat happened at 606 VIP room that day was leaked out. Now everyone at Royal Club knows what happened to Grace in the VIP room.\u201d<\/p>\n
She just said that without the details.<\/p>\n
She just said that what happened to Grace in the VIP room was leaked out, but she didn’t say what happened to Grace inside the VIP room. However, Caden understood it at once!<\/p>\n
All of the sudden, his original clam eyes sharply staring at Gloria’s face. Caden asked with his deep and cold voice, \u201cWho leaked it out?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI just knew it not long ago too.\u201d<\/p>\n
If she didn’t ask Ruby just now, Gloria wouldn’t have known either. After all, that matter was spread behind her for two days only.<\/p>\n
After hesitating, Gloria said, \u201cIf my guess is right, it’s Luna, the escort of 606 VIP room.\u201d that day she caught Luna peeping in front of the VIP room by accident. Else than Luna, she mentioned no one else.<\/p>\n
\u201cAsk her to come.\u201d Caden squinted coldly and asked Gloria, \u201cWhat’s wrong with Grace’s throat?\u201d<\/p>\n
Gloria had already felt suspicious at the night where Grace handed her 50 thousand yuan, so she had also investigated that matter.<\/p>\n
\u201cQueena, the new comer from the PR department dragged Grace to her guest’s VIP room. She might have wanted to mess with Grace and told Grace to sing almost 50 songs with high pitches.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1230","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1230","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1230"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
