I've Been There Before

Ruby was rendered speechless. She felt a bit embarrassed, but she couldn’t find a word to retort Grace.

Grace added, “I owe you nothing from the very beginning. Do you think that I was eager to intercede with Big Boss for you?

Ruby used to regard Grace as a coward and stupid woman in the past. But in the end, it turned out that the fool was not stupid at all, and the coward woman was no way week-kneed.

Ruby was picking on Grace at the beginning; later, because of Franklin, she became more jealous of Grace. If it was Gloria or any other outstand woman who was at Grace’s position, Ruby wouldn’t have been jealous of Grace; instead, she would be envious of her.

There was a fine line between envy and jealousy.

She was better than Grace in any aspect, but why Franklin couldn’t see her and could only behold Grace?

Grace was just a bitch who could do anything to earn money, while she herself had been taken heed of her integrity, but why Franklin could only behold Grace?

It whom Franklin was into was not Grace, but another outstanding woman… Then the result would be totally different.

It was Grace’s sin to be mediocre and poor.

But now it turned out that the fool in her eyes was not dopey at all. It turned out that Grace knew about everything and understood everything.

Ruby stayed silent for a while before saying, “But you’re still hypocritical. You were unwilling to do it, but why did you do it at last? You just wanted to show your virtuous self in front of Big Boss, right?

Grace didn’t plan to explain it. There was no need to explain to an unrelated person in terms of many matters, “Go, leave. Don’t bother me.” As she was specking, she closed the door in Ruby’s presence.

“Wait a moment!” Ruby, who was standing outside the door, vigorously pushed open the door. Grace knitted her eyebrows… When will this drama come to an end?
