With great fear, it seemed the passage was covered by nails.<\/p>\n<p>Grace silently followed Kirk.<\/p>\n<p>The lift was ahead of them. Kirk stopped for a second and gestured Grace to go ahead alone as if he was a gentleman. \u201cPlease, Miss Grace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2026\u201d Grace hesitated. She was not a warm-hearted girl, but she glanced over Kirk\u2019s icy-cold face. \u201cDon\u2019t you come with me?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident only want to meet you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kirk still grabbed Ruby\u2019s arm in his hand. She hastily shouted as the lift door was about to close, \u201cGrace! Grace! Please help me! I know you are too kind to leave me in the hell, right?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kirk annoyingly shot her a glare, and turned to Grace. \u201cMiss Grace, you owe her nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There was no need to bother his president for the bitch.<\/p>\n<p>Grace said before the door closed, \u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I know I don\u2019t owe her. I want to see the man I hate not for her.<\/p>\n<p>Grace didn\u2019t want to explain anything to anyone.<\/p>\n<p>When the door opened again, she took a deep breath and exhaled loudly. He noticed her deathly-pale face reflected on the wall of the lift from the corner of her eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps, in others\u2019 opinion, she only came to beg a man she knew about for another, which was not a big deal.<\/p>\n<p>But, in terms of Grace, it was much more painful\u2026 than kneeling on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Shaw, here I am.\u201d For some reason, the lights in the hall were out, except some dimmed lights. On the cowhide sofa near the French window sat a man, his arm languidly laid on the armrest. Between his fingers, his smoking cigarette was snapped out.<\/p>\n<p>She kind of flinched.<\/p>\n<p>She instinctively moved backward.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, there came a small laugh. \u201cHave a seat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The man in the sofa pointed to the sofa across from his.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, you\u2019re not here to beg for others?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026Yes.\u201d Grace slowly moved to the sofa and sat down.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou sit there just because my order?\u201d The man asked.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, he was playing her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re my president, and I have to obey your order.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The man thought he heard a joke\u2026Obey his order?<\/p>\n<p>Who?<\/p>\n<p>She? Grace James? The daughter of family James?<\/p>\n<p>Caden suddenly propped his head against his arm laying on the armrest, his posture languid, his side face handsome, his eyes unwaveringly landing on Grace\u2019s face.<\/p>\n<p>The clock ticked away the seconds, Grace started to get fidgeted.<\/p>\n<p>But the man\u2019s gaze was locked on her face. With dim light, she couldn\u2019t see his expression clearly. From time to time, she looked up into his eyes, only to find his intenseness.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, she was too anxious to stay silent with him, and she tilted her head up, saying, \u201cPresident Shaw, I\u2019m here to beg for someone\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She hoped he can say something with her reminder.<\/p>\n<p>The man languidly said, \u201cI know, and I was waiting for you to say something.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grace paused a beat, digesting his words\u2026It turned out that the president was waiting for her to start talking first.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you saying you want me to fuck you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026Yes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although Caden\u2019s words were too dirty for Grace, she nodded.<\/p>\n<p>Burying her head in her chest, she\u2019s waiting for Caden\u2019s choice.<\/p>\n<p>The man unwaveringly glared holes into her lowering head as unassuming anger coursed through his body.<\/p>\n<p>He suddenly rose to his feet.<\/p>\n<p>Grace instantly snapped out of her thoughts as she was grabbed by Caden tightly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Shaw, let go of me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The man\u2019s cold voice sounded after Grace\u2019s screaming.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t you remember you say you want me to fuck you?\u201d Fury was hidden in his deep voice. \u201cWant to be a bitch? Fine. I\u2019ll give you what you want.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ruthless and hard, his kiss weas casted on her lips, just like punishment.<\/p>\n<p>After the kiss, he suddenly tilted his head, narrowed his eyes as words bit out of him. \u201cI ask you one last time. Do you really want to humiliate yourself for an evil bitch?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlease.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Caden laughed coldly. \u201cGrace, you are such a pussy who doesn\u2019t deserve anyone\u2019s mercy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grace\u2019s trembling eyelashes betrayed her bitterness\u2026Caden, you know nothing.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t know how it feels when you\u2019re responsible for one\u2019s death. You don\u2019t know how it feels when Leona died for her in the cold scary prison.<\/p>\n<p>Caden, you\u2019ll never know how it feels when your life is a living hell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1261","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1261","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=1261"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
