Chapter 191
\nI’ve Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 191<\/p>\n
The sound of paper rustling wasn\u2019t loud but the old man wasn\u2019t careful and his hand bumped against a crystal ornament and his heart almost jumped out of him. He carefully arranged it back properly and calmed down.<\/p>\n
He looked at the door guiltily and took a deep breath.<\/p>\n
He was sure that there wouldn\u2019t be anyone coming at this time and his actions weren\u2019t rushed nor haphazard. He carefully erased any trace of his presence.<\/p>\n
The document folder was exactly the same as the one he had in his hands.<\/p>\n
This kind of document folder was easy to buy and there was nothing special about it.<\/p>\n
Even so, the old man wasn\u2019t satisfied and opened the folder in his hands and pulled out some documents, and then did the same to the folder on the table to compare.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you doing in Boss\u2019s study?\u201d<\/p>\n
A curious voice sounded behind his back and the old man who was comparing the documents was startled!<\/p>\n
At that moment, he broke out in cold sweat.<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t dare to turn around and slowly turned around… it was Kirk.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou, didn\u2019t you go with Master to the hospital?\u201d<\/p>\n
Kirk raised his eyebrow, \u201cSam, you haven\u2019t answered me how were you able to enter Boss\u2019s study?\u201d The person who went with Boss to the hospital was Ladd and not him. Two days ago Boss assigned him to carry out another task.<\/p>\n
In the past, Boss would have him and Ladd on either side of him but recently Boss preferred Ladd. Just like that day when Old Master Shaw fainted, in an emergency Boss chose Ladd to drive him and assigned Kirk to remain to guard the manor. In this incident, he felt that he had drifted further from the Boss.<\/p>\n
When he was mulling these, he arrived on the second floor and heard some faint sounds coming from the study. Though the sound was soft, it raised his curiosity.<\/p>\n
Master had clearly left the manor, so who could be in the study?<\/p>\n
Kirk\u2019s mind was racing and immediately thought of … that woman!<\/p>\n
Once Master wasn\u2019t around, that woman will start messing around!<\/p>\n
Kirk hated it when he thought about it.<\/p>\n
This kind of hatred came from deep within him and can\u2019t be faked easily.<\/p>\n
But when he thought about the woman\u2019s sneaky actions, Kirk went towards the study and listened. Though the sound was faint, there was indeed some rustling sounds coming from inside the study. Kirk\u2019s heart jumped… finally! Finally, he has caught the woman red-handed!<\/p>\n
Kirk wanted to catch her red-handed and not alert her of his presence. He also wanted to find out what she was doing!<\/p>\n
He also wanted to show Boss her true colors!<\/p>\n
The study was very dark and without a light. The thick curtains blocked out most of the light and he could only see a black figure. Kirk\u2019s heartbeat raced… Finally! Finally, I caught you red-handed and in the act!<\/p>\n
But the next moment, Kirk was stunned, \u201cWhat are you doing in Boss\u2019s study?\u201d It was Sam!<\/p>\n
He was immeasurably surprised!<\/p>\n
Not only did Sam not answer, but he asked in return. Furthermore, Sam\u2019s sneaky actions raised Kirk\u2019s suspicious, \u201cWhat\u2019s in your hands?\u201d<\/p>\n
Sam\u2019s old face frowned, \u201cNothing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kirk\u2019s hands were fast and snatched over the folder from Sam\u2019s hands.<\/p>\n
\u201cKirk! You can\u2019t see them!\u201d<\/p>\n
Sam suppressed his voice.<\/p>\n
This increased Kirk\u2019s suspicion and looked at the documents. With a hand, he pushed Sam away when he tried to take back the folder, \u201cWhat are these?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing then why did you sneak into Boss\u2019 study?\u201d Kirk didn\u2019t believe and by right he shouldn\u2019t be looking at these documents. But firstly, Sam\u2019s actions were suspicious, and secondly, he was curious about what could make this old butler so nervous.<\/p>\n
With one hand pushing Sam away, the other hand raising up the document to look. He didn\u2019t mean to look at them in detail and only wanted to scare Sam, \u201cWhy can\u2019t I look? Are these some shameful documents? I\u2019ll see them for myself if you don\u2019t tell me.\u201d<\/p>\n
He was just going through the actions to scare Sam and didn\u2019t expect his eyes to catch a line of words and he turned somber.<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t bother about Sam and took up the document in surprise.<\/p>\n
Suddenly, Sam lunges at Kirk and shouts, \u201cYou cannot see them, you can\u2019t see them!!!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSam, tell me first… in fact, you had known this since very long ago, right?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI… Wallis did mention to me once and I thought that she was just joking. Wallis also said that she simply wanted to scare Grace and take some photos as evidence. She will not let them do anything untoward Grace… She just wanted Grace not to pester Master again. I… I treated it as a joke since Wallis was so timid.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kirk clenched his fist and closed his eyes. He tossed the documents towards Sam, \u201cRemember this, I\u2019m not helping you conceal. I\u2019m not helping you but I\u2019m doing this for Master to maintain a good memory of Wallis in his heart. Today I didn\u2019t come here, I didn\u2019t see you neither did I see those documents.\u201d<\/p>\n
After finishing, he turned and walked to the corridor. Only in the light, could Kirk\u2019s pale lips and bitter frown be seen.<\/p>\n
As he was walking down the stairs. He heard the sound of a conversation.<\/p>\n
It was that woman!<\/p>\n
Kirk was distracted and, at that moment, he tripped, and although he didn\u2019t fall, he sounded out in surprise.<\/p>\n
He looked up and saw that woman\u2019s back was towards him but started to turn and look at him… his heart jumped!<\/p>\n
He had a feeling of guilt that he had done something wrong.<\/p>\n
He glared back coldly and expressed his displeasure.<\/p>\n
Kirk saw that she looked away from him and easily disregarded his disdain.<\/p>\n
Perhaps… all his supposition, all his paranoia was exposed suddenly.<\/p>\n
Those pages, sentences, and every word were telling him that his hatred for this woman was unfounded!<\/p>\n
A person who he hated, looked down upon and criticized, in that instant the truth was telling him that his hatred was unreasonable!<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t have any more reason to hate and be disgusted with this woman!<\/p>\n
Kirk\u2019s heart was in a strange mess and exceedingly guilty, he could only let off a cold \u2018humph!\u2019.<\/p>\n
He walked by her without so much as to greet her \u201cMissus\u201d and walked quickly out of the main door… as if he felt guilty and disgusted with himself.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Garcia, today is Missus\u2019 birthday. I need to go to the James residence.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1396","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1396","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=1396"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
