I've Been There Before

When Grace appeared in front of Gloria again and handed her the cheque, Gloria simply glanced at her and then took the cheque, “You should know that Cayne’s intention is not pure.”

“I know it.”

What?

Gloria frowned, “You know it, but why did you take the cheque?”

Grace didn’t reply.

Gloria didn’t go deep into this topic. She was so clear that Grace urgently need a large sum of money. No one was clearer of this than her.

“There’re just few days left.” Gloria reminded her.

“I… Anyway, I have to try.”

“To try what? Grace, give up, please.”

“NO.”

“You hate President Shaw so much?” Gloria wanted to tell Grace that President Shaw was not that bad to her. When Grace was sick, it was President Shaw who carried her to the hospital. When Grace insisted on going to work regardless of her illness and fainted in the end, it was President Shaw who called his personal doctor. And he even primed her not to tell Grace about this.

Gloria had no idea about what had happened between Grace and Caden. But after witnessing what Caden had done for Grace, she thought maybe Grace doesn’t need to be so afraid of Caden.

Grace didn’t know how to explain it to Gloria… The gap between her and Caden was more complicated than ‘love and hatred’.

“Tell me, what are you going to do? How will you try it? Only a week is left. I’ve calculated the banknotes you have saved, and the total is less than one million. Tell me, how can you earn the rest four million within seven days?

Gloria rubbed her eyebrows helplessly. Could she directly tell Grace: Stop daydreaming. President Shaw had ordered me not to arrange work for you. Just think over it, you hadn’t had any tasks recently. Wasn’t it clear enough?

“I… I must try it. I still have seven days.”

“Who are you going to find? Cayne? Come on, he just comes to you for a night snack occasionally and gives you a cheque worthy of one hundred thousand. Is it enough? Even if he will come to you every day, you can only earn seven hundred thousand at most.”
