Steal my heart novel (Grace James and Caden Shaw)

Chapter 34: Slander

Grace didn't understand why her former roommate would talk like that to her when they met again. Was

it really because she is so unbearable, so disgusting?

She gently pulled the corner of her mouth into a sorrowful smile.

She glanced at Ruby silently, that glance may not have any special meaning, it may be a kind of

"recognition" Turning around,

Grace slowly disappeared from Ruby's eyes.

Ruby was as uncomfortable as if someone had choked her neck. Her hands that were hanging on her

sides were now

clenched into fists, and she was staring at her shadow.

She didn't understand, this woman was so pitiful, why did she act so arrogant in front of her just now!

Her - Grace!

Why was she so arrogant!

A cripple!

A poor person begging for money!

An ugly monster who didn't have the looks or the figure and hooked up with men everywhere!

She thought of Franklin's charming and handsome face again, and Ruby felt even more resentful in her

heart... This bitch

must have taken the initiative to seduce Mr. Cordon!

Someone nearby kept watching Ruby and Grace until Grace left. Everyone around was watching

Ruby's performance.

Although, this Ruby was now not very welcome.

However, people's urge to gossip was always very strong, they were able to overcome a moment of

disgust, and ask with

ulterior motives, "What's the matter, Ruby? Why are you arguing with her again?”

“Her” referred to Grace.

Ruby was angry. When she was asked this, she sneered and said, "'I wouldn't get myself involved with

a bitch like her:

When the people next to her heard the word “bitch”, their eyes lit up: This was going to be interesting!

"Who's the bitch? Grace?"

Ruby said, "Il just saw her and Mr. Cordon bundled up in the stairwell”

Mr. Cordon?

This name was really sensitive!

"Mr. Cordon, you mean Mr. Franklin Cordon?" Someone exclaimed, “No, that's one of the wealthiest

men in town, rich,

handsome and tasteful, how could he like her? A cleaning lady? "

“'I saw it with my own eyes. They hugged and kissed in the stairwell” A trace of jealousy flashed

through Ruby's eyes.

Why her!

That woman was nothing, she was ugly and lame, she had no education, she was willing to do

anything for money, such a

dirty woman, why her... her!

Ruby had long forgotten the good side of Grace.

"Knowing people's surface doesn't mean we know their soul, this is talking about her. 'I used to live in a

dormitory with her. At

that time, she was a cleaner and kept quiet every day. 'I thought she was a peaceful person. 'I didn't

expect her to be like this, living in a dormitory with this kind of person, breathing the same air every

day, it makes me almost vomit! "

"This Grace really is."

"Shut up!" At this moment, a voice sounded, “Don't you all have work to do? Are you all fed up? Have

you forgotten about

Queena and Luna?”

The person talking was Annie, she was probably the longest working waitress in the Royal Club!

When Ruby saw Annie, she suddenly remembered that it was Annie who embarrassed Ruby in front of

so many people, and

even refused to let Sheila talk to herself, she was extremely jealous of her!

"Some people just rely on the fact that they have worked in Royal Club for a long time. They are proud

of themselves and criticize others everywhere. They probably even forgot that they are just a waitress."

Ruby graduated from S University, and her words were very sharp.

Annie didn't even look at Ruby. She sneered and spoke to the other people, "I kindly remind you not to

follow in the footsteps of Queena and Luna. It's your own choice if you listen to me or not”

After speaking, Annie turned around and left. When she reached the corner, she could still hear the

gossip coming from behind,

"This Annie thinks too much of herself. She always talks about Queena and Luna. Queena and Luna

broke the rules of the Royal Club. The leaders of the Royal Club hate to gossip. But they do not prohibit

private competition.

Not only the Royal Club, it's the same for any company you change to. Annie always talks about

Queena and Luna, which is basically two different things.

At the corner, Annie shook her head, it was hard to persuade people who only looked for trouble.

It's just that Grace... It seems that she was going to suffer again.

Annie didn't plan to snitch on her. It was good not to provoke trouble.

In Royal Club, she learned long ago not to mind anyone else's business.

It was already good enough for her to try and persuade those people for the sake of them being

colleagues.

As for them not listening... "Forget it, those messy things are none of my business.’

After work.

It was drizzling outside. At first, the rain was not heavy, and Grace would walk back slowly every night.

Naturally, tonight was no exception.

There is a 24-hour convenience store opposite the Royal Club, she was standing in front of the cashier.

“Miss, 56 Yuan in total, please” On the cash register, there was an umbrella. Grace glanced at the

umbrella. It was already the

cheapest one in this convenience store. She looked at the wallet in her hand. It was 56 Yuan. Of

course she had it, but she was still hesitating...

"Thank you, it suddenly occurred to me that the rain is not heavy and 'I might not even need an

umbrella’

Walking out of the convenience store, Grace wrapped her clothes tightly around herself, curled up into

a ball, buried her head in her coat, and walked straight forward.

The rain was not heavy, and it would not be too uncomfortable for her, but the left side of her waist

always felt empty, and whenever the weather changed, it would be painful.

Just when she finally got home, the weather started changing and it was pouring down!

When she got home, she stuck the key in the door lock but couldn't open it.

she tried it again... still couldn’t open!

Grace was stunned. Looking at the tightly closed door panel, she was surprised for quite a while,

then... she smiled bitterly.

She and Ruby still lived in the dormitory together. After that incident between her and Ruby, she didn’t This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

want to offend her even more.

In fact, if two people like them lived together, no one would feel comfortable. She didn’t know whether

Gloria forgot to change the dormitory, or whether the company believed that this kind of contradiction

between employees was not worth mentioning.

Since that day, Ruby's attitude towards her had changed drastically.

However, even if Ruby dismissed herself again, something like today, that she was locking the door to

prevent her from entering the house has never happened before.

“Ruby, Ru...” She opened her mouth, trying to get someone from inside to open the door. But as soon

as she shouted, her voice stopped abruptly, and she slowly lowered her head, she kept silent... The

people inside had made up their minds not to let her into the house, and they wouldn't hear her

anyway.

You could never wake a person who pretended to be asleep.

Standing at the door, Grace looked up to the ceiling... "There is nowhere to go...”

With a sigh, she turned her back to the door, and slowly slid down, leaning against the door panel

behind her, wrapping her clothes tighter, it was so cold...

No matter how tight she wrapped her clothes, they were still wet... it was so cold... This night, she

leaned on the door panel behind her, and went to sleep.
