I've Been There Before

“By the way, I won’t go to the James Group tomorrow morning.”

“You got something else to do?”

“I’m a little tired. I want to take a rest. Vivian, I’ll let you take charge of the James Group. Don’t let me down,” Grace said with a tired look on her face.

She told the half-truths and stood up. “I won’t keep you for dinner. I’m going to sleep. I don’t know why I get tired so easily these days.”

Hearing what she said, Vivian looked at Grace with concerns. “Take good care of yourself. Alright, I’m leaving. There’s no need to rush to work. I got you.

You even gave me the shares of the James Group. You really don’t regret it?”

Vivian was suspicious. Grace might do so to win Vivian over. But in fact, even if Grace hadn’t given her the shares, Vivian would still follow Grace.

When Vivian reached the door, Grace stopped her, “Wait.”

“Is there anything else?”

“We are no longer in our early twenties. Vivian, time and tide wait for no man. We already have wrinkles around the corners of our eyes.”

“That’s right. I remember when we were young. We used to laugh out loud and feel carefree. Now, we stop doing that.” The two laughed, feeling delighted. “Anyway, I’m leaving. You should have a good rest.”

“I’ll walk you to the elevator.”

“Why being so polite? It’s not like we’ll never see each other again.”

Laughing and joking, they left the room one after the other. The door opened and Vivian walked into the elevator. The moment the door was about to close, she looked up and saw Grace gazing at her with a smile. For some reason, her heart skipped a beat.

She shook her head, not knowing why.

Vivian left the building. On the way back, she felt a little uneasy.

But she had no idea what was wrong.

The next day....

A woman came to the hospital unobtrusively.

“Miss Grace, do you feel the same as you did yesterday?”

It was the same nurse who had injected her with the growth factor yesterday.

“How is his condition today?”

Grace asked.

“Please wait for a while. The hospital arranges medical examinations for Mr. James every day,” said the nurse, looking up at the clock, “Don’t worry. The report will come out soon.”

With that, a doctor in a white coat scurried over with a stack of documents in his hand, “Miss Grace, you just came at a good time.
