I've Been There Before

Chapter 44 :Tell a Lie in Front of Her

When Grace was off work, as usual, she walked alone.

Ruby naturally wouldn't go to and get off work with her.

When returning to the dormitory, Grace was surprised. The light was on in the living room. On a simple sofa, Ruby was sitting

there playing with her mobile phone.

Seeing that she came back, Ruby immediately put down her mobile phone and stood up.

“Are you back?"

Grace was even more surprised. As usual, Ruby had long been sleeping in her room. Today, she was sitting on the sofa in the

living room, waiting for her?

"Yes." She was a little reticent. During three years in prison, she had very few places to speak.

She was always silent.

"Today, I heard that a guest in a VIP box on the sixth floor called for you? Who is it?"

Was Ruby going to chat with her? Grace looked up at Ruby, and then laughed at herself. How could it be?

"A stranger." She said slowly. She knew clearly that what Ruby wanted to ask was whether the guest was Franklin.

"Well..." Ruby was obviously relieved. Then, she suddenly looked at her with sharp eyes, "the wound on your forehead... Did you tell someone else?"

Grace only felt very tired.

She was tired of Ruby's endless trial and pressure.

How long would this kind of interrogation and trial last?

Grace closed her eyes and opened it again, looking at Ruby, "You are an excellent student of S University. I'm just a cleaner

who didn't graduate from high school. We are totally different. We live in dormitories arranged by the company just because of our work. We have a clear distinction. In this case, we should go our own way.”

"Grace, how can you talk like that? It's too much...”

Before she finished speaking, Ruby saw the weak and silent woman limp past her and walk into the bedroom directly.

Suddenly, Ruby was embarrassed and angry.

Looking at the closed door, Ruby's heart was filled with anger.

That lame woman's implication was that she, Ruby, was asking for trouble and should be quiet?

"OK. Grace, you're capable. You've been so proud after working in the public relations department. If you are capable enough, then don't work in Royal Club.” Ruby was so angry that she ran to the door of Grace's room and cried out. After saying that, she turned around and went into her bedroom angrily.

Grace leaned against the door and slid down slowly. Finally, it was quiet.

She didn't know where she had offended this excellent student. Tell her and she would change it, okay?

She was very tired.

At this point, the contradiction between her and Ruby had increased.

Ruby showed her dislike for her obviously. When Grace went to work the next night, the college student did not spare a glance for her. Grace just remained silent.

Royal Club.

In the corridor, Grace and Ruby met each other. No one knew whether it was Grace who didn't stand firm or whether Ruby

intentionally bumped into Grace by adding gravity, Grace finally fell on the ground.

Ruby stood in front of Grace and opened her mouth to say something. Suddenly, her eyes brightened. She took the initiative to step forward and bent over to help Grace up. “Are you ok? I didn't mean to. Don't get angry, okay?”

Grace was confused by her action. She looked at Ruby strangely and did not know what happened. Why did this Ruby

suddenly act so strange?

"Grace, get up. Sitting on the ground may catch cold. You're just recovering and discharged from the hospital." While saying, This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Ruby held Grace in her two hands, "Girls should protect themselves. You cannot humble yourself like before again.”

"A few days ago, I just forgot something in my dorm and rushed back. Then, I found you lying unconscious on the ground and

rushed you to the hospital. I can't imagine how terrible it would be if I didn't go back to the dormitory that day.’

The more Grace listened, the tighter her eyebrow frowned. Was Ruby saying these words to her?

It seemed that Ruby deliberately said it to someone... Wait, who did she deliberately say it to?

Grace was not stupid. She subconsciously prepared to turn her head and look behind her. As soon as she turned her head, she

was surrounded by a strong force on her waist, and someone held her from Ruby's hands. Her back was leaning against a warm

body. Behind her, a nice voice came out.

"Grace, hurry to thank Miss... Miss Ruby?"

This sound... It was Franklin who she had met twice in the corridor.

Franklin's voice was very characteristic.

His voice was low and magnetic. It was hard for people to forget after hearing it. Grace recognized Franklin's voice and

turned around, “Mr. Franklin, it's you."

While politely greeting to him, Grace was also secretly trying to break away from this man’s hands.

But this man was so strong that she could not break away.

Grace knitted her eyebrows quietly. Maybe Ruby would trouble her again.

She just wanted to make five million yuan and didn't want to be involved in other things at all.

"Hello, Mr. Franklin." Ruby greeted Franklin. When she swept Grace's waist, there was a glint of jealousy in her eyes. Why could

Grace be treated like this?

Since Ruby took the initiative to say hello, Franklin had to respond, "Hey, Miss Ruby."

Ruby's heart beat faster. Franklin was so charming with a smile.

Franklin stood behind Grace. After Grace fell down again, her hair on her forehead was a little messy. Franklin's eyes were

fixed on her forehead and he looked down. The next second, he looked up at Ruby. He smiled attractively.

"Miss Ruby just said that Grace was ill and hospitalized a while ago?"

Franklin's appearance and temperament could really seduce girls. At the moment, he deliberately sent out male hormones. It

was not strange that Ruby could not resist. Her heart suddenly beat faster and her cheeks were flushed. But Franklin just talked

about “Grace” in her ear.

Ruby was unhappy and glanced at Grace, "Yes. That night it rained. Grace was drenched in the rain and had some fever. I

guess that she didn't stand firm and fell on the handle of the door when she got up. I was very worried when I sent her to the

hospital.”

It was a lie.

There was a trace of strangeness in Grace's heart. Was Ruby not afraid of being exposed by her face to face?

Why could Ruby confound black and white and take a lie for granted?

Maybe Ruby really thought she could be bullied easily.

“Well.” Franklin said lightly. Grace did not expect Franklin to turn his head and asked her, "Is it so, Grace?"
