I've Been There Before

Regardless of Caden’s disappointment, Grace washed her face, brushed her teeth and left.

She had been busy with work all day. Vivian came to her office in the morning for the contract with the Domen Group. At noon, however, she found that Grace was still working in the CEO’s office.

She thought that it was because of the cooperation with the Domen Group that Grace worked so hard. But in the afternoon, she learned from the Secretary Department that Grace asked them to bring her all the relevant documents.

Vivian realized that something was wrong. The door of the president’s office wasn’t closed. Just as she reached out to knock it, it opened automatically. Vivian found that Grace was completely dedicated to her work.

“Grace,” Vivian strode in and said sullenly, “It’s not a good idea to keep working. I know there are still many problems to solve. But we have signed the contract with the Domen Group. Take it easy. OK?”

“It’s not about Domen.” Grace was still busy with her work and did not even raise her head. She signed a document and responded indifferently.

“What?” Vivian frowned. “Then why are you doing this?”

“OK. Stop, Vivian. Go.”

Grace still didn’t raise her head and said.

Vivian was angry that Grace kept working. She smacked her hand down on to the table and said, “I heard that you didn’t have lunch.”

“I’m not hungry. Get out.”

Grace said coldly.

Vivian was slightly stunned. She had never treated her like this since she started to work for her.

“You …”

“Get out.” Grace raised her head from the pile of documents and looked at Vivian.

“What happened?”

Vivian pondered for a moment and felt that something was wrong. She had never treated her like this. “I can go out now. Grace, I understand why you focus on your work, but you should eat something.”

“I told you I’m not hungry.”

Vivian frowned, “If you skip meals, I can’t finish my task.”
