I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden)
Chapter 112 You Refused to Pay Money Just Because You Were the Boss?

Gloria shivered. At this moment, she felt the surrounding pressure was extremely low.

She also felt sorry for Grace. Franklin was nothing like the man named Cayne. Gloria had dealt with mountains of people in these years, so she was quite good at analyzing people. But today, she was present when the strife between boss and Franklin happened.

Franklin's performance was out of her expectation.

It never occurred to Gloria that those words would come from the widely-recognized playboy Mr. Cordon.

There was an old saying; a prodigal who returns is more precious than gold... Maybe it well fit Mr. Cordon now.

Gloria couldn't figure out what Caden wanted either... Didn't he know that he was never a person who liked putting his finger into another's pie?

Wasn't he aware that he lost control today? When he saw that Grace and Mr. Cordon were hanging out, he behaved like a husband who had witnessed the adultery of his wife.

"Kirk, send two people to keep an eye on her."

Kirk didn't know to keep an eye on whom all at once.

"Report to me if anything happens."

Kirk understood until this moment...Boss was asking him to keep an eye on Grace.

But a new question popped up. Anything happened? What anything?

He couldn't just report everything, big or small, to the boss who was occupied with countless work every day.

Kirk's face twisted. He was about to scratch his head if he was not driving.

"If that woman dares to do anything to betray me..." The man with a gorgeous face sitting in the back suddenly looked fierce. Cruelty flashed across his face.

However, when hearing this, apart from feeling shocked, Kirk and Gloria both became curious and a strange expression appeared on their faces...Grace dared to do anything to betray boss... When boss said this, was he admitting to something in a sense? The second day.

When Grace got off work and was on her way out, she was blocked by a man in the corridor.

"...Mr. Shaw."

After a long departure, Caden finally showed up in Royal Club again. He looked down at the woman before him, and an anonymous fire was burning in his heart.

"Em." He lowered his voice and replied. Then he said nothing.

Grace was all tensed up, and after bypassing Caden, she looked down on the road and quickly walked away.

Behind her back, the fire of anger was burning more wildly in the man's eyes,

He strode forward before grabbing her arm, "Where is Miss James rushing to? To meet your lover?"

At the thought of everything the woman had committed, he wanted to just choke her to death.

Grace tensed up, "I... I just got off work. Please let me go, Mr. Shaw. I am going back to my dorm."

"To your dorm? Or to meet your lover?"

Grace's face became pale all of a sudden. She looked up and saw the sarcasm in the man's eyes at first sight.

Pretending to be tough, she stopped breathing and said in a cold voice, "I am a slut. After a slut gets off work, of course she will meet her lover. What else can she do? Mr. Shaw, please let go of me."

Overwhelmed by fury, Caden grasped Grace's arm tightly and didn't let go.

Grace looked at his hand that was grabbing hers and said coldly, "Or does Mr. Shaw want to be my customer too today?"

Caden was so angry that he laughed, "Okay, then don't leave today. I will be your customer."

A hand was presented before Caden.

"What?" He raised his brows and asked.

The woman who was standing at his jaw said in a tough voice, "Money." She continued, "Though you are the boss, you need to pay a whore. Whoring is never free."

Caden's eyes were full of astonishment!

Then he looked at the palm before him, and complicated emotions rose up in his heart. A tinge of pain that he never experienced before was spreading all over him...When he bumped into her minutes ago, anger rose in him for no reason, and he didn't know how to let the feeling out either.

But at this moment, the woman before him made his heart broken. He looked at her in another way, "Miss James, when did you become so cunning? What is it?"

"Your Leon abandoned you? So you hook up with Mr. Cordon now?"

Bang!

A thunder stroke beside her ears!

Grace looked at the man before her in astonishment... How did he know about Franklin?

Watching her in astonishment, Caden felt a fit of pleasure. But soon depression recaptured his heart. And He ... could do nothing about it!

He always believed that the most powerful weapon was not words but absolute strength. When facing all kinds of enemies, he did all it took to strike them down and never had mercy on them. Just like the buzzword on the internet, if one can use his hands to deal with enemies, he never uses words.

But in front of Grace, suddenly, he... Feebleness rose up inside of him.

Then he gazed at the woman before him again, and the scene that she was smiling to Franklin last night popped up in his mind.

All at once, the man's eye look changed. He reached his hand to grab her chin, "Smile!"

He had always cherished his words, but right now he ordered her toughly, "Didn't you hear me? I said, smile!"

Grace frowned. The hand holding her chin was grasping tightly. She didn't understand what the man wanted. She didn't understand him before, and she still didn't now.

"Grace, smile."

Caden's voice was getting colder. But the more he wanted her to smile, the more she hated to.

Sense of rebellion was controlling her. She raised her brows and looked at Caden indifferently... Why should she smile? Why should she listen to him? He ruined half of her life, and she had to smile to him?

Her eyes stung Caden's heart like a needle. It was so painful!

Caden's heart hurt and his eyes darkened. He looked at her coldly, "No smile? You sell your smiles every day and now you can't do it? Grace, can't you even do your job? Or because you want this?"

While talking, he reached his left hand to his pocket and took out several red bank notes, "You will only smile for this!"

Grace moved her eyes slowly and looked at the red bank notes in his hand. No one could read what she was thinking now. The she raised her head, and focused her eyes on Caden's deep eyes without a blink. They were staring at each other now. Her lips raised and she squeezed out a professional smile. She asked, "Done?" Why did he enjoy forcing her to do things that she didn't like so much?

Caden stared at her face and wanted to replace out a trace of the smile that she showed Franklin last night...No! It was not the same smile!

It was not the same at all!

What Franklin said echoed by his ears again, "I could make her smile, can you say the same thing?"

Could he?

Could he do that?... Caden asked himself again and again. Could he make her smile?

The answer was clear as crystal. But...it was so damn unacceptable.

"Get away!" He shook off her hand and shouted furiously, "Get the hell away from here! And don't make me see you again!" He was trying to convince himself. With red eyes, he turned around and glared at her in rage, adding, "Don't stain my eyes!" Grace left without saying a word. But the familiar pain rose up in her heart again, which she chose to ignore.

Behind her back, the man watched at the exit where she disappeared minutes ago. He was so angry and his chest hurt badly...Why she didn't smile! Why the woman who used to only love him was now smiling at another man! Why did he become so angry whenever he thought of that damn woman...!

He raised his fist and stroked it towards the wall. Bang! Blood dripped down from his fist and hit the ground.
