I've Been There Before

The matters were not all as easy as to fire a receptionist. Grace was exhausted after working all day, but she didn’t dare to express her fatigue.

She almost ran away as she stepped into the office of the president.

She tried so hard to persuade herself. “I can’t!”

Yes, she couldn’t run. She had to face it, so she had to overcome all kinds of difficulties. Even though she had suffered a lot in prison, getting her character changed and her back bent, she had to keep her head raised and fulfill her promise to her grandpa.

Grace might never know that the cold and indifferent man in her eyes came back to the gate again after he drove his car around the building for a circle. Caden stopped the car at the gate, and meanwhile, Grace’s voice appeared in the car. She was battling with those old foxes from the James family.

What Grace was doing and saying were all caught by Caden.

Caden had got all that woman’s firmness when she encountered difficulties dealing with those troubles. Though she had been isolated from society for three years, the solid foundation of her knowledge and skills supported her to win the battles.

Even Caden had to praise Grace’s grandfather’s lessons to Grace. Caden was also the child from a strict family, so he clearly knew that even men should make great efforts to be as sophisticated as Grace.

Grace’s words that she said at her nineteenth birthday broke into Caden’s mind. “Everything related to luck and success should all be destined, or be from great efforts others even can’t detect.”

Caden paid less attention to those words back then, but today, when he was appreciating Grace’s skills and eloquence, he finally understood her meaning to say that.

“Grace, nice job!” Looking at the open gate of Wei’ai, Caden said this in a low voice, his tone full of pride, the pride in Grace’s talent and efforts.
