I've Been There Before

Kirk smiled perfunctorily and thought in secret that Gloria surely knew nothing about those things in the past.

"Call this woman in," Kirk said.

Gloria nodded. She originally didn't have much goodwill towards Ruby Carter.

Ruby was inexplicably called to Gloria's office. And she was apprehensive on the way here.

"Gloria." She was learning to be obedient now, who wasn’t as morally lofty as she had been when she had first entered her office.

"I'm not going to beat around the bush with you. Tell me what happened in the box on the sixth floor today," Gloria said succinctly and clearly.

Ruby immediately went into a panic. And as expected, she was called to be here for what had happened in the box on the sixth floor today.

As she spoke to Gloria, she purposely avoided things that weren't too favorable for her and concealed some others.

But she was facing two shrewd people. Whatever it was Gloria or Kirk, they could deduce what had happened in general from Ruby's words and micro-expressions.

"Gloria, I really didn't do it on purpose. I didn't expect that Mr. Du would send someone to call Grace after I refused him." Ruby pitifully begged Gloria for forgiveness.

Gloria’s delicate face was no longer warm. And she moved her red lips, "Tell me, how come Mr. Du. a businessman coming to S City from the south, knew about Grace James?"

"I, I, I don't know it either. Maybe, maybe someone mentioned her to Mr. Du. Believe me, Gloria. I'm not good at swimming. I drowned when I was a kid. So, as soon as I heard that request from Mr. Du, I didn't agree to it. Other than that, I really didn't do anything else."
