Chapter 146
\nI’ve Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 146<\/p>\n
The matters were not all as easy as to fire a receptionist. Grace was exhausted after working all day, but she didn\u2019t dare to express her fatigue.<\/p>\n
She almost ran away as she stepped into the office of the president.<\/p>\n
She tried so hard to persuade herself. \u201cI can\u2019t!\u201d<\/p>\n
Yes, she couldn\u2019t run. She had to face it, so she had to overcome all kinds of difficulties. Even though she had suffered a lot in prison, getting her character changed and her back bent, she had to keep her head raised and fulfill her promise to her grandpa.<\/p>\n
Grace might never know that the cold and indifferent man in her eyes came back to the gate again after he drove his car around the building for a circle. Caden stopped the car at the gate, and meanwhile, Grace\u2019s voice appeared in the car. She was battling with those old foxes from the James family.<\/p>\n
What Grace was doing and saying were all caught by Caden.<\/p>\n
Caden had got all that woman\u2019s firmness when she encountered difficulties dealing with those troubles. Though she had been isolated from society for three years, the solid foundation of her knowledge and skills supported her to win the battles.<\/p>\n
Even Caden had to praise Grace\u2019s grandfather\u2019s lessons to Grace. Caden was also the child from a strict family, so he clearly knew that even men should make great efforts to be as sophisticated as Grace.<\/p>\n
Grace\u2019s words that she said at her nineteenth birthday broke into Caden\u2019s mind. \u201cEverything related to luck and success should all be destined, or be from great efforts others even can\u2019t detect.\u201d<\/p>\n
Caden paid less attention to those words back then, but today, when he was appreciating Grace\u2019s skills and eloquence, he finally understood her meaning to say that.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrace, nice job!\u201d Looking at the open gate of Wei\u2019ai, Caden said this in a low voice, his tone full of pride, the pride in Grace\u2019s talent and efforts.<\/p>\n
Caden started the car, and left the gate without hesitation… Obviously, she didn\u2019t need his useless help. She could deal with it on her own.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Grace was standing in the front of the meeting room, with her hands on the desk to support her body. Her eyes swept over those top managers\u2019 face, and got the result from their panicky complexions that she had won the battle.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince you all agree with my idea, you should go to work.\u201d Grace claimed the meeting was over. When those managers left, leaving only Ladd and her in the room, she finally couldn\u2019t stand anymore but fall down on the ground.<\/p>\n
Ladd hurriedly came over. \u201cMiss James! Are you okay?\u201d<\/p>\n
Ladd reached his hands to help Grace up. \u201cMiss James!\u201d He was shocked as he touched Grace\u2019s clothes. \u201cThe back of your coat got wet! I\u2019m gonna ask the secretary to buy one for you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo!\u201d Grace widened her eyes and stopped Ladd. Ladd was confused. \u201cBut your coat…\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace shook her head and said powerlessly. \u201cIf you do so, they will know the fact that all my confidence and aggressiveness before are fake.\u201d Grace stared at Ladd. \u201cI can\u2019t send my efforts going up in smoke.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ladd opened his mouth, but didn\u2019t know what he should say.<\/p>\n
Who said that Miss James was ignoble after getting free from prison?<\/p>\n
Those people who said this must be blind!<\/p>\n
However, Vivian didn\u2019t know that the woman on the phone was really different now.<\/p>\n
Grace used to do such things in great enthusiasm, but now, she just forced herself to do that.<\/p>\n
One hour later, Vivian, with her former team members, stood in front of Grace. \u201cSorry, Miss James, three of ten members are absent.\u201d<\/p>\n
Vivian reported with sorrow.<\/p>\n
Grace nodded. She could understand the three\u2019s decisions, so she kept more gratitude to the seven in front of her. \u201cThanks, thank you for your appearance today.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMiss James, we all keep waiting for your return! We believe you will return one day and control Wei\u2019ai again.\u201d Vivian\u2019s eyes turned red. \u201cMiss James, we tried our best to get in touch with you after you went into prison, but our requests were all refused unknowingly. On the day when you got off that prison, we held a banquet to welcome you, but you even didn\u2019t come there all day. Then we lost all your information.\u201d<\/p>\n
Though they had heard those rumors about Grace\u2019s work in Dong Huang Club, they were reluctant to find Grace at that time, for they knew Grace was unwilling to be visited since she was in such a miserable situation.<\/p>\n
Vivian\u2019s words planted another seed of doubt in Grace\u2019s deep heart.<\/p>\n
Looking at the seven faces full of sincerity, Grace believed in all they had said. She felt moved as she knew they still missed her and tried to visit her even though she was arrested in prison. Her frozen heart began to be warm like an alive person again.<\/p>\n
However, she had never got any information about their visit to her… Caden Shaw! What a ruthless man who even stopped her from any cheerful news!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1351","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1351","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=1351"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
