I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 69

As that day passed, Gloria insisted that she would wait until Grace recovered before letting her come to work.

After Grace recovered, she resumed her life at work and seemed to be the same as before.

But these days, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get any work.

Her manager, Manager Xu wouldn't arrange work for Grace.

On Gloria's side, she definitely would not go against Caden's words.

Grace sat alone in the Public Relations Department's lounge. She was already off duty.

"Finally off duty, I'm exhausted, that client is really generous today," successively, there were more people in the lounge. People were laughing and discussing the results of today's battle, but Grace sitting at the side dreaming.

She looked up, and a woman took out a large neat stack of bills. The thickness of which was at least thirty to fifty thousand. Grace stared at the bills in her hands but was caught by the other party.

"Yo, Grace," the person twisted her waist, and her eyes were all teasing, "What? You like this?" She dangled the money in her hand in front of Grace's eyes.

"I say, Grace, I think you should simply stop embarrassing yourself in this Personal Relations Department too. How long have you had nothing to do?"

"Jenny, don't you dare show your money in front of Grace. Just this little bit of money of yours, Grace doesn't even care about it. Grace makes big money; she doesn't care about this little money of yours."

That Jenny's mouth was agape, "That's true, who can bend and flex like her? I don't want any of that money."

Grace looked at the wall clock hanging on the wall and stood up silently. She got her things and walked around Jenny as she headed out.

"Stop!" Jenny snapped petulantly, "What do you mean, Grace?"

Grace turned her head towards Jenny in puzzlement and asked slowly, "What do you mean by what?"

"You!" Jenny's beautiful eyes glared and pointed at Grace's nose in exasperation, "I'm talking to you! What do you mean by leaving without answering? Are you looking down on me?"

Hearing the unnecessary accusation, Grace only felt some pain in her brain, and explained in a good-natured manner, "Time's up, I'm off duty."

If you're off duty, shouldn't you be back in your dorm?

"What do you mean by that, again?"

"I ..." did she say something wrong again? The one she was talking to was called Jenny. Grace knew Jenny but didn't know when she had offended Jenny too. On second thought, not wanting to have an argument with anyone, she sighed, looked at Jenny, and said slowly.

"If I've offended you anywhere, I'll apologize." Is that fine?

Of course, she knew that she picked on Grace first. She thought that if Grace couldn't help herself and fight with her, she could then go to Manager Xu and sue her.

She didn't expect that Grace wouldn't want to quarrel with her, nor would she want to get involved with the people around her. But Grace's apology showed her Jenny's domineering attitude instead.

"Well, you want to apologize, right? Then let's get real!" In anger, Jenny raised her arm and was about to swing it down when she suddenly heard a harsh yell from the doorway.

"Jenny, what are you doing!"

"Manager Xu... "Jenny was dumbfounded, but in the next moment she reacted and shouted, "Manager Xu, you can make decisions for me, Grace looked down on me."

"Quarrel, all you do is quarrel all day long, Jenny. Speak for yourself, you just quarrelled with Annie two days ago, and now you're quarrelling with Grace. All you do is quarrel with people everywhere, can you do something more serious!"

Manager Xu gave a sharp glare at the aggrieved Jenny.

In the past, she would not have said so. But... Manager Xu took a look at the silent Grace in front of her. If she didn't know the inside story, she wouldn't have believed that Grace and the mysterious big boss of the Royal International Entertainment Club had a connection.

"Manager Xu, it's obviously her ..."
