Chapter 145
\nI’ve Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 145<\/p>\n
Caden Shaw\u2019s behavior didn\u2019t comfort Grace James at all, but on the contrary, Grace almost went mad for the man\u2019s abnormal tenderness.<\/p>\n
He forced her into the corner, step by step, and finally, she had no route to retreat.<\/p>\n
Grace didn\u2019t know what Caden wanted to do. She preferred to endure his bullying rather than accept this man\u2019s sudden gentleness!<\/p>\n
It was too horrible!<\/p>\n
It even scared Grace much more than his decision to send her into prison!<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Shaw? Why?\u201d Finally, Grace couldn\u2019t help asking. She closed her eyes suddenly, and instantly opened again.<\/p>\n
Why did this man suddenly become so gentle? Could Caden Shaw also be tender?<\/p>\n
Yes, he could!<\/p>\n
But she was never the one who he showed his gentleness to!<\/p>\n
Caden took the hair dryer away, and helped Grace to tuck her hair behind her ears. Then he said still indifferently. \u201cHave a good rest.\u201d<\/p>\n
He turned around. Grace intended to pull his clothes, but in the end, she stopped her hand in the air.<\/p>\n
Grace dared not to break the peaceful facade.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, by the way, you\u2019d better think carefully about your duty to take over Wei\u2019ai.\u201d As Caden walked close to the door, he turned back and said this meaningfully.<\/p>\n
Then he turned around again and left.<\/p>\n
It was one more sleepless night for Grace.<\/p>\n
However, she got up early the next morning, put on the suit and well dressed up herself. As she dressed her hair and touched her forehead, she was still cowardly to roll up her bangs and reveal her horrible scar.<\/p>\n
Grace looked at herself in the mirror, with examining eyes. \u2018Grace, are you really brave enough to stand in front of everyone in public again?\u2019 She asked herself like this.<\/p>\n
However, she had no way back.<\/p>\n
She couldn\u2019t let Leona down, as well as her grandpa.<\/p>\n
The only thing she could do…was to face the challenges.<\/p>\n
Grace could realize how cheerless Wei\u2019ai now was. She would be in grave regret if she didn\u2019t save Wei\u2019ai.<\/p>\n
The sunlight shined on Grace\u2019s face as she opened the door and went out of the bathroom. She squinted her eyes, and saw the man sleeping on the sofa had woken up already.<\/p>\n
Caden\u2019s dark eyes scanned Grace up and down. Then he took the suit on the sofa and said coolly. \u201cLet\u2019s go.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace followed him in silence. The driver in the car was waiting for them downstairs. Grace and Caden got into the car and sat on the backseats.<\/p>\n
The driver in the front handed them two breakfasts. Caden took one to Grace. \u201cTake it.\u201d<\/p>\n
But Grace didn\u2019t take it.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t win the war in hunger.\u201d The man said. \u201cThe difficulties you\u2019re gonna face are beyond your imagination.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace knew Caden\u2019s meaning. Three years was long enough for the James family to move Grace\u2019s followers from the critical position in Wei\u2019ai.<\/p>\n
That was to say, though Grace finally got the right to lead Wei\u2019ai again, her position would be left hanging in the air.<\/p>\n
Grace even had no idea about the methods to deal with it.<\/p>\n
The receptionist looked at Grace up and down, she teasing. \u201cWho are you? Do you think you\u2019re the boss of Wei\u2019ai? How dare you bark so loudly here?\u201d<\/p>\n
Three years passing already, though Grace was in fear now, she pinched her palm with her nails and kept encouraging herself in her heart. \u201cDon\u2019t be scared! You can do that, and you must do that! You have to deal with this mess as fast as possible. You have no way back!\u201d<\/p>\n
Restraining the fear to meet strangers, Grace said to the receptionist coldly.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnfortunately, I\u2019m just the boss of Wei\u2019ai.\u201d She took out the contract that proved her identity as she spoke. \u201cCan you see this clearly? Do you still think I have no right to fire you?\u201d<\/p>\n
The receptionist\u2019s face turned pale. As she intended to beg, Grace stopped her. \u201cBegging is even useless. You\u2019re the first one being fired today, but you won\u2019t be the last one.\u201d Grace\u2019s tone revealed the graveness of her decision.<\/p>\n
Judging from Grace\u2019s tone and imposing posture, no one could guess that she was struggling to fight with the fear in her heart.<\/p>\n
\u201cLadd,\u201d Grace said to Ladd, \u201cask this lady to leave this building.\u201d<\/p>\n
Though the receptionist was unconvinced, she had to endure her anger as she saw the strong man, Ladd. She walked toward the gate while cursing in a low voice. \u201cHey! Boss? The foundation is also an empty shell! I even don\u2019t want to waste my life here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace went to stop her. \u201cWei\u2019ai is not an empty shell, and I won\u2019t let it become an empty shell!\u201d She would try her best to keep her grandpa and her efforts from being an \u201cempty shell\u201d!<\/p>\n
Grace selected a cleaner who was passing by her. \u201cMadam, do you know how should you behave to treat the guests?\u201d<\/p>\n
The cleaner was stunned. \u201cI\u2019m not well-educated, so I don\u2019t know such a matter. I only know that I should be polite to my guests.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace nodded. \u201cNow, you\u2019re the receptionist of Wei\u2019ai. Remember to be polite to our guests.\u201d<\/p>\n
The former receptionist shouted, as if she had suffered great humiliation. \u201cYou even appoint an uneducated cleaner to replace an intellect graduating from a famous university! You must be mad!\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace snorted coldly. \u201cI prefer to trust a cleaner, so that\u2019s just the warning for you to think about what mistake you\u2019ve made!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1350","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1350","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=1350"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
