After all, Royal International was only an industry under Caden, it couldn&#8217;t even count as a special industry.<\/p>\n<p>It was just a place to entertain.<\/p>\n<p>It was simply because that day, that she saw Grace there.<\/p>\n<p>Shaw Group was actually Caden&#8217;s base camp.<\/p>\n<p>The Shaw family was a very big deal, a really wealthy family.<\/p>\n<p>The Shaw family had inheritance that had passed on for several generations. Under the care of generations, the Shaw family<\/p>\n<p>had become more and more prosperous.<\/p>\n<p>But when it got in the hands of Caden, the prosperity and scale of the Shaw family was unprecedented.<\/p>\n<p>Grace once again met an acquaintance at Royal International.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why do you like to walk the stairwell so much?&#8221; Franklin had an enchanting aura, and it was easy for him to seduce a lot of<\/p>\n<p>women.

Franklin still<\/p>\n<p>smelled of nicotine right now.<\/p>\n<p>Grace opened her mouth, still a little confused, &#8220;You are&#8230;?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why, did you already forget?&#8221; A wicked smile appeared on his thin lips, and a hand approached Grace&#8217;s face, slowly, it moved<\/p>\n<p>downward&#8230; His gaze followed his fingers, slowly falling on those unpleasant lips.<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly, the feeling of that kiss was remembered&#8230; he really wanted to taste it again.<\/p>\n<p>These lips &#8211; what kind of magic power was it, that after he came back from a business trip, he came here in a hurry.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hey\u2019 In Franklin&#8217;s eyes he only saw the lips and his slender fingertips touched them. Grace tilted her head to avoid him.<\/p>\n<p>Franklin was not angry, he only said with a chuckle, &#8220;Do not move\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While saying so, he reached his fingers to the lips again&#8230; It was impossible for Grace not to move, she turned away embarrassed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you move again, &#8216;I will kiss you right now: Franklin&#8217;s words were explicit.<\/p>\n<p>Grace&#8217;s ears blushed&#8230; She couldn&#8217;t believe the way he acted!<\/p>\n<p>Franklin was happy.<\/p>\n<p>This woman&#8230; Was she blushing just because of this?<\/p>\n<p>God!<\/p>\n<p>Was there still such a naive woman today?<\/p>\n<p>She was like an old fashioned woman&#8230; Unprecedentedly rare!<\/p>\n<p>Grace didn&#8217;t understand a man&#8217;s mind. When she was in college, she was thrown into that prison.

He just touched her lips with his fingers, and said to himself, &#8220;Here..&#8221; His fingers were touching her lips, but there was some kind of strange electricity passing from his fingers. It reached from his fingers to his limbs, Franklin was stunned&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>He looked at the woman in front of him who was pinned on the elevator handrail puzzled&#8230; What was that?<\/p>\n<p>He didn&#8217;t think that her appearance and figure had any attraction to him.<\/p>\n<p>Sure enough, was it just because of her lips?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8216;I want to make sure about something really important\u201d Franklin said something Grace couldn&#8217;t understand. This was too<\/p>\n<p>inexplicable, even if it was someone else, they would not be able to understand it.<\/p>\n<p>After Franklin spoke, Grace didn&#8217;t even have time to understand what he meant, and her lips were covered with warmth.<\/p>\n<p>Her eyes widened suddenly!<\/p>\n<p>What was this?<\/p>\n<p>What was this!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAhem. A light cough sounded, Grace was taken aback, but she felt suddenly awake, and stretched out her hand to push<\/p>\n<p>Franklin slowly turned his head, away from the direction Grace had left, and his gaze finally fell on Ruby. The woman who suddenly appeared&#8230; no, she was more like a girl, that was more appropriate to call her.<\/p>\n<p>The corner of Franklin&#8217;s mouth still showed a smile, and he stared at the girl not far away&#8230; Franklin could see clearly what she<\/p>\n<p>was thinking about.<\/p>\n<p>Her pink face looked shy, her red face, the youthful vitality, the elastic skin&#8230; There was indeed a pure and moving vitality.<\/p>\n<p>But&#8230; what should he do?<\/p>\n<p>His mind was filled with the red ears of that ugly woman, he raised his hand to touch his lips, he had kissed her twice, and it<\/p>\n<p>felt stronger every time.<\/p>\n<p>The first time, he only had the chance to touch her lips, then he was interrupted by Caden.<\/p>\n<p>The second time was just a moment ago, there was only time to kiss her lips, he didn&#8217;t have time to feel it better, no time to deepen the kiss, and again he was interrupted.<\/p>\n<p>He raised his eyes and glanced at the girl who claimed to be Ruby, the smile on Franklin&#8217;s mouth remained unchanged, &#8220;Your name is Ruby?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ruby&#8217;s breath suddenly became faster out of excitement, &#8220;Yes, I, &#8216;I, my name is Ruby.
