Chapter 287
\nI’ve Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 287<\/p>\n
Payne gritted his teeth and glared at Grace. \u201cDon\u2019t worry, I will! I will live well. Don\u2019t regret it!\u201d He sneered and said.<\/p>\n
Grace quietly looked at the decisive figure until it disappeared. She tried her best to pick herself up and glanced at the people around her. \u201cIt\u2019s alright, go and mind your own business.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing that, the employees left quickly.<\/p>\n
When she turned around, she saw the secretary who had been burned on hands squatting on the ground and picking up the fragments.<\/p>\n
\u201cStop picking them up. I\u2019ll give you half a day off. Go to the hospital and bandage your burned hands. Call the cleaner,\u201d Grace said and thought for a moment. \u201cForget it. There\u2019s no need to call the cleaner. You can go to the hospital now.\u201d<\/p>\n
The secretary looked at Grace gratefully and kept saying, \u201cThank you, Ms. Grace. Thank you. Thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGo and be careful on the way. There\u2019s no need to be in a hurry. If the personnel department asks, you can tell them that I personally let your leave.\u201d The stiffness on Grace\u2019s face softened a lot as she looked at the simple and honest face of the secretary.<\/p>\n
The secretary turned around and left. \u201cMs. Grace, you\u2019re so nice. You\u2019re not like what others have said.\u201d<\/p>\n
After saying that, she covered her mouth with regret. Would her words make the boss think that people were gossiping behind her? The secretary peeked at Grace in front of her, only to find that Grace didn\u2019t seem to have heard what she had said at all. Grace smiled and waved at her, \u201cHurry up and go to the hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes!\u201d She relaxed and her round face revealed a smile. \u201cThank you, Grace.\u201d Even her words became cheerful and clear.<\/p>\n
Grace looked at the young and cheerful face, and her eyes were filled with the gratification of the elders.<\/p>\n
At this moment, she suddenly felt that she had got old after all those years of entanglement.<\/p>\n
The surroundings became quiet. The corridor was empty. When she looked over, she could not find a single person. The familiar feeling of exhaustion flooded over her once again. However, she could not relax for she still had a guest.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Cayne, I\u2019m really sorry to let you see such a scene today,\u201d She apologized sincerely, but the tone was distant.<\/p>\n
Hearing this, the light in Cayne\u2019s eyes dimmed. Could he still not get close to her?<\/p>\n
He looked at the woman in front of him. She had a polite but distant attitude, a perfect smile which seemed to be gentle but actually very distant. He missed the girl three years ago.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs for the supplement of our cooperation, I have already told you the James family\u2019s opinion. You might as well consider it. The cooperation will benefit both of us twice as much after the supplement.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cayne became more and more disappointed. He didn\u2019t want to hear about the stale words about working. Couldn\u2019t they talk about each other and their lives?<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was the eldest son of the James family, right?\u201d He must be the eldest son of the James family because he had already mentioned his identity. What Cayne wanted to say was, \u201cI\u2019ve heard of Payne. Was he diagnosed with leukemia recently?\u201d<\/p>\n
Although he was asking Grace, he spoke in a narrative tone.<\/p>\n
Who in S City didn\u2019t know the great changes that had taken place in the James family those days?<\/p>\n
The news included that Payne had been diagnosed with an incurable disease.<\/p>\n
And it included that Grace was now in charge of the James family.<\/p>\n
Grace did not answer. She stared down at the ground and listened carefully.<\/p>\n
Cayne noticed her reaction. The corner of his lips curved with bitterness. She was really smart.<\/p>\n
The fact that she didn\u2019t answer meant her rejection of the conversation on this topic.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrace,\u201d he suddenly reached out and held Grace\u2019s hand. \u201cGrace, no matter what he had said, I believe you,\u201d Cayne said solemnly.<\/p>\n
Grace did not break free from his hand immediately. She looked down and her sight moved inch by inch. She stared at her hand being held by Cayne. It was so quiet that she could hear her breathing.<\/p>\n
No! He suddenly let go of her hand.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will contemplate the proposal of Ms. Grace. I still have something to do today. See you,\u201d he said with a grim expression. Without waiting for Grace\u2019s reply, he had already stridden away.<\/p>\n
He walked quickly and hurriedly, as if he was fleeing.<\/p>\n
Grace watched his figure disappear. She stared down at her hand that had already been grabbed red. The temperature of his hand was still left in her palm. She raised her head and saw that there was no one at the end of the corridor.<\/p>\n
Suddenly, the corner of his lips curled into a smile. \u201cThank you for your trust.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, she no longer needed it.<\/p>\n
Turning around, she slowly walked towards the other end of the corridor. She walked very slowly and unsteadily.<\/p>\n
It was the bathroom on this floor.<\/p>\n
She walked slowly into the bathroom and turned into the compartment at the end of the bathroom. She gently opened the door and took out a mop, a piece of cloth, a bucket and a broomstick.<\/p>\n
She did know how to clean very well-she was a cleaner three years ago.<\/p>\n
She picked up the cleaning tools in the compartment, took some water from the tap, and walked out of the bathroom with a bucket in her hand, a broom and a mop in her other hand, and a piece of cloth on her arm. She limped along the quiet corridor.<\/p>\n
She walked very slowly, not in a hurry.<\/p>\n
At the door of her office, she put down the bucket, squatted down, and cleaned the fragments of the glass and water stains on the ground skillfully.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1492","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1492","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=1492"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
