I've Been There Before

Chapter 13 She was Transferred to the Public Relations Department

Grace was on tenterhooks when standing in front of Caden. Someone knocked on the door a while later, Cadens magnetic voice rang, 'Come in.

Grace stared at the one who just came in as panic as her--lt was Gloria, the interviewer she met three months ago.

"Good day, Gloria." Grace said while hiding the tension in her heart. She carefully peeked at Caden who was leaning against the armchair, and then turned her eyes to the suddenly appeared Gloria. Her heart was racing for not knowing what's the mysterious marrs intention.

"Good day, Mr. Shaw." Gloria was in a well-fitting white suit that did not diminish her charms but perfectly outlined her big boob. She was servile and submissive when facing Caden, she said, "How may l help you, sir?”

Glorias manner toward Caden was a little strange in Grace's eyes as if Gloria was Caderrs subordinate... The fact was that Caden really was Glorias big boss. Three years in prison made Grace isolated from the world which had been turned upside down.

"Do you know her?" Caden raised his chin towards Grace. Glorias face paled a little, and she stole a glare at Grace, who had greatly impressed her before.

Gloria pulled the corners of her mouth to give a forced smile, “Mr. Shaw, did Grace offend you? Please don't get mad at her, I must teach her a good lesson for this."

Grace knew that Gloria was interceding for her. She had expected that Gloria, who was known for her harshness, would fire her at once, instead of speaking for her in front of Caden. She could not help but feel surprised and appreciate Gloria.

Gloria glared at Grace again. She risked helping her only because Grace had been hard-working while being obedient without causing her any trouble. She was wondering how the ignoble Grace would offend one she shouldnt offend the most.

Their interactions clearly caught his sharp black eyes.

Cadens dark eyes grew sullen at Gloria, Who was her interviewer?"

Gloria turned pale with large beads of sweat flowing down her forehead.

"Hmm?” He snorted and regarded Gloria with a pale face suspiciously.

"Me, lt was me, Mr. Shaw. I interviewed and hired her personally.' In fact, things such as Interviewing candidates were usually not her job. What was wrong with her that day! It had been two or three years since she hadn't interviewed the applicants in person. There must be something wrong with her that night she hired her.

Gloria was so regretful that she blamed herself now. With the manner of Mr. Shaw toward Grace, she must have pissed him off. Since Gloria had worked for Mr. Shaw for years, she could tell he was taking it seriously with anger.

"You hired her? As a cleaner?" Cadens slender brow raised slightly while Glorias face bathed in sweat because of fear. Her whole body was numb yet she didn't dare to wipe off her sweat.

She told the truth carefully, “During the interview, based on Miss .James”s performance which was not up to any of the other positions at Royal Club, not even fit to be an attendant...' Gloria said awkwardly, 'But Miss .James herself offered to apply for a cleaner here."

Gloria raised her head suddenly and added, "Mr. Shaw, Grace has been working so hard and efficiently since she started to work here.

People with the status of Gloria had long ignored the grass-roots staff. But somehow Giloria had a special feeling for Grace James was.

She was living in a different world from this lowly and pity woman, but somehow she felt they had something in common that she couldn't figure out what it is no matter how many times she thought about it.

After she blurted out what she said, Gloria finally awoke in shock. She peeked at Caden nervously.

He was sitting on the brown armchair with his legs crossed. He was elegant as a gentleman, “Gloria, she is now transferred to the Public Relations Department."

Gloria wondered if she had misheard him so she stared at Caden in shock, 'Pardon me? Mr. Shaw? I didn't quite catch what you said.” Public Relations Department? Grace James? She must have misheard.

”I said, such a hard-working and efficient worker as Grace James, she deserves a promotion." Caden who was in good shape put his legs down before standing up and cast a cold look at the stunned Grace.

He sneered disdainfully, 'Gloria, before you assign your subordinates a position you should make certain what their abilities. You must know nothing of this Miss James's skill in acting.'

Grace stiffened at his words.

Suppressed anger seemed to be in his voice, “The public relations department needs someone as Miss .James who can take temporary setbacks. Kneeling and kowtowing were her good trick. So as the others, sụch as pleasing men."

The atmosphere was cold as the ice.

Grace's deathly pale face did not even earn a bit of the man's mercy. Caden was pleased by her look of despair... Can you still remain indifferent, Grace .James?'

Caden couldrït believe that such a proud person as Grace would become an obedient wuss like this. He wondered if she indeed was as lowly and worthless as she pretended to be now.

What Caden was doing now was intending to force Grace to the limit. He was not yet aware of his innermost thoughts that the Grace he wanted was the one who once said, 'I'll keep you at a distance once Wallis become your girlfriend!" The last he wanted to see was the Grace who was as lowly as a pitiful creature. What's more, he didn't realize the unacceptable fact behind his insults toward Grace was that it was he who made her this way!

Caden made all excuses to defend himself that she deserved his insults for she had murdered Wallis Venus.

You can't wake a person who is pretending to be asleep, however, he would have to wake up one day.

Gloria was finally certain that she had heard correctly this time----Mr. Shaw determined to transfer Grace to the P.R. department.

In fact, the stuff in the P.R. department were all escorts.

"Um...' Gloria glanced at the pale Grace. 'Yes, sir." She judged from her years of experience that they have an unusual relationship.

This was the first time she had seen Mr. Shaw deal with the promotion of grass-roots employees. To put in plain language, Royal Club was no more than one of Cadens trivial businesses, which he had never cared about.

"Grace, follow me," Gloria said in a formal manner. Grace's face was as pale as a white sheet. Suddenly she raised her pitiful eyes at him and pleaded, "Please don, I don't want it. The P.R. department... Caden wanted to transfer her to the P.R. department?
