I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden)

The sound of paper rustling wasn’t loud but the old man wasn’t careful and his hand bumped against a crystal ornament and his heart almost jumped out of him. He carefully arranged it back properly and calmed down.

He looked at the door guiltily and took a deep breath.

He was sure that there wouldn’t be anyone coming at this time and his actions weren’t rushed nor haphazard. He carefully erased any trace of his presence.

The document folder was exactly the same as the one he had in his hands.

This kind of document folder was easy to buy and there was nothing special about it.

Even so, the old man wasn’t satisfied and opened the folder in his hands and pulled out some documents, and then did the same to the folder on the table to compare.

“What are you doing in Boss’s study?”

A curious voice sounded behind his back and the old man who was comparing the documents was startled!

At that moment, he broke out in cold sweat.

He didn’t dare to turn around and slowly turned around... it was Kirk.

“You, didn’t you go with Master to the hospital?”

Kirk raised his eyebrow, “Sam, you haven’t answered me how were you able to enter Boss’s study?” The person who went with Boss to the hospital was Ladd and not him. Two days ago Boss assigned him to carry out another task.

In the past, Boss would have him and Ladd on either side of him but recently Boss preferred Ladd. Just like that day when Old Master Shaw fainted, in an emergency Boss chose Ladd to drive him and assigned Kirk to remain to guard the manor. In this incident, he felt that he had drifted further from the Boss.

When he was mulling these, he arrived on the second floor and heard some faint sounds coming from the study. Though the sound was soft, it raised his curiosity.

Master had clearly left the manor, so who could be in the study?

Kirk’s mind was racing and immediately thought of ... that woman!

Once Master wasn’t around, that woman will start messing around!

Kirk hated it when he thought about it.

This kind of hatred came from deep within him and can’t be faked easily.
