I've Been There Before

Chapter 52 Have Grave Take the Pill

There was movement behind Caden.

"Stop, where are you going?" Caden squinted at the woman, who was timid, and felt that he would go crazy soon.

"I am going to work," Grace said slowly.

All of a sudden.

Caden became more furious. And there was no emotion on his jade-like face. Suddenly, he spoke, "Work? With your crappy body?" Cade thought, “The ungrateful woman is obsessed with money. Although she almost died, she only cares about money once she gains her consciousness. What else does she value but money?”

“Oh… I was wrong!”

“She also cares about Leon Lo!”

The one she was still concerned about in her sleep!

"If there's nothing else, then, President Shaw, I'll go to work first." She was still like that, looking cowering with her rickety back. It seemed that she would never straighten up her back. Looking at her, Caden only felt that there was a fit of inexplicable anger and a hint of… sadness that he deliberately ignored.

“Work, work, work. She likes to work so much… ”

"Well, it's my luck as a boss to have such a hardworking employee like you. And since you love your job so much, you should earn a full five million dollars within a month with your diligence."

Grace had a feeling that she was going to pass out again. She turned her head and looked at the man sitting on the couch incredulously as she shakily asked.

"President Shaw, do you want me to wire five million dollars to that bank account within a month?"

Caden didn't answer her question. Instead, he just smirked and waved his hand, "Go to work. I believe in you. You're a good employee." He even cheered for her: "Go to work. I see that you have great potential."

His words were naked sarcasm. The look on Grace’s face couldn’t be paler. And her lips were shivering. She opened her eyes wide and looked at the man seriously. It seemed that there was nothing else in her eyes but for him. She slowly opened her mouth and moved her lips. And in the end… she did not say anything, such as begging for forgiveness.

"I get your point, President Shaw." Leaving the words in silence, Grace headed for the elevator under the gaze of Caden’s dark eyes.

As soon as the elevator door was closed, a bloody smile suddenly showed up on the man’s cold face, who was sitting on the sofa… If it were before, Grace would have knelt down and begged for forgiveness from time to time. And now she was so capable that she didn’t even bother to say a soft word. And this change took place after she met Leon Lo.

Caden picked up the phone, "Check on Leon Lo." After he said briefly to the one over the call, he cut off the call and held the cell phone in his palm. Suddenly, he heavily smashed the phone towards the LCD TV forcibly. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Soon, the intercom at the entrance of the elevator rang. Caden pressed the whole house remote monitor in his hand. And Kirk said on the intercom, "Boss, Mr. White had someone send the medicine over. Do you want me to take it up now?"

"Send it directly to Gloria's place. And ask her to give it to that woman." After he finished his words and was about to hang up, he suddenly remembered something and added, "Don't bring me up to that woman."

Kirk echoed. Caden thought for a while and said, "After you send the medicine to Gloria, you should immediately go and check on the issue happening in Langston Du’s box today. I need meticulous details. Even a single petty detail can’t be missed. All should be clear."

"Yes, Boss."

"Go."

...

Kirk knocked on the door. "Please come in." After he heard a reply, he pushed the door in.

Gloria was surprised, "What are you doing here?" As soon as she finished her words, she, who was shrewd, immediately understood, "Is there any order from President Shaw?"

Kirk placed the medicine in his hand on her table, "Let Miss James take it on time."

"Fever reducer?" Gloria looked at the medicine bag on the table, "How do you know that Grace has a fever?"

Kirk furrowed his eyebrows slightly. And he asked expressionlessly the next second, "And how did you know about Miss Grace's fever?"

"She got off work in the rain at night a while ago. And as soon as she was home, she was sick. And she got dizzy, fell down, and hit her forehead with a big scar. I'm not blind and I can see it."

"If you knew Miss Grace wasn't feeling well, why did you deny her leave request?"

"That's interesting. Are you saying that I exploit and bully Grace James?" Gloria rolled her eyes, "As for that idiot, do I need to bully her? Grace puts her money on the money. Don't tell me that you don't know about the five million dollars that President Shaw has proposed to her. She works hard for the five million dollars without taking her health into consideration.

“Before she was fully recovered and the stitches on her brain were removed, she came back to Royal Club and asked if I had any work for her."

"So you assigned her with a job and let her work while risking her life like that, right?"

If Gloria still couldn’t tell Kirk’s hidden meaning yet, she would have got along with the shrewd people in S City for nothing. She twisted her showy eyebrows, "Wait. Risking her life to work? What are you referring to?"

Although Grace had gone back to Royal Club without taking her life into consideration, it didn’t necessarily mean that Gloria would assign jobs to her unscrupulously as if she were an idiot. Gloria said, “I am not that merciless. I will never ask someone who is sick to serve the guests.”

“Grace came back while she was sick. But in the meantime, I hung her out to dry and didn't assign her any work, except for that new guest a few days ago, who didn't make Grace do anything difficult, let alone any task that would 'risk her life."

Judging from Gloria’s appearance, Kirk saw that she didn't look like she was acting. And then he asked tentatively, "You know Langston Du, right?"

"Langston Du... Oh, you mean that Langston Du from the south, don't you? Did he do anything?"

"Langston Du spent his time today at Royal Club. And his private room was on the sixth floor." Kirk frowned, "Gloria Su, how come you didn't know anything about that big thing that just happened on the

sixth floor?"

Gloria was dumbfounded. And she organized Kirk’s words in her brain.

“A businessman… Langston Du spent his time here today… His private box was on the sixth floor of the Royal Club… Such a big issue just happened on the sixth floor… ” She suddenly opened her eyes!

"Grace James!" Gloria fiercely stood up. “Bang!” And her chair fell to the floor.

Suddenly, she stretched out her white wrist and rudely clutched at Kirk’s white shirt, "Tell me everything you know!

"Gloria Su, you're not doing a good job as the first in command of the Royal Club. You've been having a comfortable life for too long. And you don't even know anything about it after such a big thing happened in your place."

"Cut the crap. I just excused myself from Mr. Liam's banquet and came back here to get something. Hurry up and tell me what happened while I was away. Why did you send medicine to Grace? And did that idiot go and sell something of hers again?"

It wasn't that Kirk hadn't seen Gloria’s fierce appearance before. But it was two years ago. And ever since Gloria became the general manager of Royal Club, he had never seen her so fierce. Feeling a little uncomfortable, he coughed, "Let go of me first."

"You should tell me first."

Shen Yi had no choice but to tell Gloria what had happened today in a concise manner.

When Gloria heard this, she only felt furious instantly. Then she shook off Kirk directly and strode out, "I'd like to go and ask the one surnamed Xu, asking her as for who authorized her to arrange such a 'Sugar Daddy' for that idiot!"
