Chapter 73
\nI’ve Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 73<\/p>\n
\u201cGloria, here you are.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gloria was shocked when she saw the banknotes on the table. For a long while, her mind was totally blank, \u201cWhere did you get the money?\u201d<\/p>\n
Her first reaction was that: Who the hell had arranged work for Grace?<\/p>\n
Grace didn\u2019t think much about it and briefly told Gloria what had happened last night. When hearing about it, Gloria furrowed her eyebrows, \u201cIt was him?\u201d She looked at Grace, \u201cGrace, didn\u2019t I told you not to approach this man again?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut\u2026 He gave me the money.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2018But\u2026 He gave me the money.\u2019 \u2026 People who didn\u2019t know about Grace\u2019s characteristics or the secrets behind all these would all think that Grace was really a gold digger when hearing her saying these words.<\/p>\n
Gloria was rendered speechless at the moment.<\/p>\n
She was so familiar with the girl in front of her. When Grace was standing at the corner, no one would pay attention to her, just like she was not present. But Gloria was quite clear that this unimpressive girl was so stubborn.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrace, come hear.\u201d Gloria looked at Grace and felt that she should give her some suggestions regarding some matters. She reached out her hand and wrapped Grace\u2019s shoulders, and then pulled her closer to herself, \u201cJust listen to my advice. Don\u2019t have any associations with this man in the future. Although I haven\u2019t experienced a lot, I\u2019ve seen various kinds of men in Royal Club. Grace, promise me, don\u2019t meet Mr. Cayne any longer, even if he will pay it for you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace muted for a while and then raised her head and said earnestly to Gloria, \u201cSorry, Gloria, I can\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gloria gripped Grace\u2019s shoulder, \u201cJust listen to my advice this time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace shook her head in a firmly manner, \u201cSorry, Gloria, I just can\u2019t. You know, I\u2019m in short of money. President Shaw has promised me that if I can earn five million in one month, he will not torture me any longer, and I can choose to stay here or to leave. Gloria, he\u2019s a man of his words. The first half of my life had been entangled with his and in the end, I was hurt badly. Can I leave without him for the rest of my life?\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace didn\u2019t expatiate on the entanglements between her and Caden. Since Gloria didn\u2019t ask her, she didn\u2019t want to bring it up either.<\/p>\n
Caden had invaded the first half of her life. But now, she was feared, tired, flustered and cheesed. So for the rest of her life, she just wanted to let go of it.<\/p>\n
Life without Caden was not as tough as she had imagined.<\/p>\n
There was no Caden Shaw in the three-year imprisonment life, but she still managed to get through it.<\/p>\n
\u201cGloria, I know that you advised me for my own good, and I know that Mr. Cayne was very dangerous. I know all about it. But Gloria, do you remember what I told you on the first day I came to Royal Club? I said: if I can sell my bacon, I will open my legs and say \u2018welcome\u2019 to my guest.\u201d<\/p>\n
A trace of bitterness flashed across Grace\u2019s eyes. She then raised her head and said determinedly, \u201cTherefore, no matter what Mr. Cayne wants to do, and no matter what purposes he had, even if he has some special quirks, as long as I, Grace James, have it, I\u2019m willing to\u2026 sell it. This includes my incomplete body, and even the kidney left in my body.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace didn\u2019t know whether Gloria could understand her words or not.<\/p>\n
But anyway, she cherished her cares and concerns towards her, for she rarely received these in her life\u2026 This time, she was bound to disappoint Gloria.<\/p>\n
Out of no reason, Gloria felt sorry for Grace when she recalled how she felt when she heard those words when Grace just joined Royal Club. At that time, she thought that even if this woman was ugly, she had a good sense of self-acknowledge.<\/p>\n
She even secretly praised Grace\u2019s thoughtfulness at the time.<\/p>\n
But right at this moment, when she heard those words again, she finally understood that the sentence carried more than its literal meaning \u2013 it also carried Grace\u2019s lots of helplessness.<\/p>\n
As Grace walked out with her head lowered\u2026 With a loud sound, she ran into a person.<\/p>\n
\u201cSorry, s\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI find out that every time I see you, you\u2019re apologizing to me. Are you especially fond of making apologizes?\u201d A pleasant voice sounded from above her head. Grace raised her head, \u201cAh\u2026 It\u2019s you, Mr. Cordon. Sorry, I didn\u2019t look carefully and bumped into you. After making the apology, Grace turned around. But she was then stopped by a long arm wrapped around her waist. With some might, he pulled her closer to himself with the long arm, \u201cYuck, we just met, and you wanted to leave instantly? Did you dislike me?\u201d<\/p>\n
Franklin stopped Grace and put the other arm around her waist, and then pulled her even closer.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s have dinner together.\u201d<\/p>\n
How could he be so willful?<\/p>\n
\u201cSorry, Mr. Cordon, I\u2019m at work.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s so boring to work. Let\u2019s go, I\u2019ll take you to a restaurant.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo buts. Rest assured, I\u2019ll ask leave for you when we return.\u201d<\/p>\n
As he was speaking, he gripped Grace\u2019s arm and pulled her towards outside regardless of her will.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1278","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1278","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=1278"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
