I've Been There Before

Sitting on the driver’s seat, Vivian opened her mouth but found herself could utter nothing to comfort Grace. It was precisely because she knew her that she had no idea about how to comfort her.

She even felt that she who was sitting in the back seat with an indifferent look, was so depressed after returning to S City from tranquility.

There were many problems of the James Group. It was unknown whether the previous president just ignored them carelessly or Jafar didn’t regard them as serious problems.

Vivian felt somewhat sorry for her. Grace always absorbed herself in work, almost in a way that sacrificed her health.

She should hate Caden. After all, it was he who forced her into a desperate case bit by bit.

Throughout S City, only Caden could push her into such a dilemma.

But now, she was somewhat grateful to Caden. At the very least, he picked her up to have meals on time. Otherwise, she would definitely absorb herself in work and forget to have dinner.

The car stopped at the school gate. This was the second time Grace had met the tall and thin boy, who looked rebellious. Seeing her, he seemed to be unpleasant.

“Let me tell you, I don’t want to be a so-called James,” the rebellious boy glared at her and added, “We’ve known the check-up result. What else do you want? Since my bone marrow doesn’t match his, the result won’t change even you do one hundred check-ups.”

Sitting at the side, Nora was a little awkward. “Ollie, she’s your sister. Be a good boy.”

“She’s not my sister.”

Nora gazed at Grace who did not even raise her head. Till this moment, she was busy reading the report forms.

Instantly, she felt both embarrassed and aggrieved.

It was just like they thought they had played a trump card, but the other party didn’t even pay attention to it.

Nora pulled Ollie into the back seat and seated herself in the front passenger seat. “You should get along well with your sister. And I sit on the front passenger seat.”

“Who wants to get along with her?” After all, he was still a rebellious kid.

Embarrassed, Nora gazed at Grace again. However, she was doomed to be disappointed. She just focused on her work indifferently, not to mention her notice.

Nora could only slightly pinch Ollie’s arm and say, “Be a good boy.”

Ollie reluctantly got into the car.

Along the way, Nora saw Grace from the rearview mirror, who was sitting in the back seat with several reports. She nimbly rolled her eyes and said, “Well … Mrs. Shaw, you’re so busy.”

There was only silence.

Nora did not give up, “Well, there are so many report forms. The James Group runs well, right?”

Vivian frowned, showing a glimmer of coldness. “Be quiet. Grace dislikes to be disturbed while working.”

For Nora, the reaction of Vivian was just a clumsy denial resulting in self-exposure.

She sneered. Jafar was right. Grace was a rebellious and cold guy.

She jealously stared at Grace in the rearview mirror. These things should have belonged to Ollie.

There was silence all the way. Only the rustling sound of the pages could be heard.

Vivian felt a little sorry. “Ms. Grace, we’re here.”

“Yes?” She raised her head. While she was about to open the door and get off, Vivian couldn’t help but relieved her while seeing her put the report forms in her bag.

“Ms. Grace, there will always be work to do. You could read them later. Since we are here to have a check-up, you may relieve yourself from work for a while.”

Sitting at the side, Nora felt more curious about the scale and prosperity of the James Group.

Grace just rubbed her eyebrows. “It’s fine.” She then got off. These report forms were very urgent to be dealt with. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have endured carsickness to read them.

They went to the main building of the hospital and finished the sample collection. The medical staff said, “It may take a week or so to have the result.”

Nora heaved a sigh of relief. She was gambling. She guessed it would take some time to get the result of such a check-up.
