"You just said that Miss Grace was calling me in her dream?" If he understood correctly, "Lo" referred to him, right? Leon felt so weird... Ahem, could it be that his charm was too great? Except that Franklin took Grace to visit him that day, he and Grace only met once.
"Caden, is she really calling 'Lo'?" Leon was really curious, so he asked again.
Before finishing speaking, Caden cut off the call.
"Hello? Hello? Caden, you haven't answered me yet!"
On the other side of the phone, Caden hung up.
It was not the first time that he heard the word "Lo" in this woman's dream. If it weren't for Leon... who was it?
He bent his finger to tap on the desk of the conference room. Suddenly, he stopped. He immediately called Kirk, "Go and check if there is anyone in the prison called 'Lo'."
Obviously, although Caden was not completely sure whether there was someone called "Lo" beside Grace three years ago, but after she came back, she was always babbling the name in her dream, so the clue pointed to that place—the prison she lived for three years!
He turned around to return to the office.
The woman on the sofa slept very deeply without any signs of awakening.
He was sitting behind his desk and working. His secretary came in, "Mr..."
As soon as the secretary made a sound, she saw the man behind the desk raised his index finger, motioned her to be quiet, and his gaze swept back to the sofa. Following the man’s gaze, the secretary saw a woman sleeping on the sofa. She nodded and expressed her understanding.
Without speaking, she walked towards the desk, but the sound of high heels tapping on the ground could not be eliminated. The man behind the desk stared at her coldly. The poor secretary's little heart throbbed. She hastened to walk on tiptoes with fright.
Approximately, in this world, only women understood how painful wearing high heels of seven or eight centimeters and walking on tiptoes. This incident could be called one of the top ten tortures punishments!
She finally walked to the desk, then put the document on the desk. She said in a low voice, "Mr. Caden, you need to sign this document."
The secretary watched her boss sign his name easily, but she felt bitter. It was a simple signature for the boss. She took the file and walked back again... without making sound.
However, it was the first time she saw her boss was so nervous and careful to a woman. With curiosity, she peeped towards the sofa... Uh, she was disappointed.
Such an ordinary girl...
After looking at her carefully, she felt a little familiar. After suspicious in her heart, she looked more carefully. This time, the more she looked, the more she felt the girl familiar.
Suddenly, she couldn't help it but to ask, "Mr. Caden, she... looks like Miss Grace very much."
Maybe it was because she was in surprise so that her voice was loud, or because the temperature of the air conditioner was low, the woman on the sofa opened her eyes. When she opened her eyes, her brain was still in a state of crashing.
She blinked at first and then looked around. When she saw Caden behind the desk, suddenly, her mind was very clear.
"Come here, Grace." Behind the desk, the man waved to the woman who had just woke up.
Grace was stunned by his beckoning, and the secretary was also stunned too...Uh...
"Miss... Grace?" The secretary exclaimed.
When Grace saw the unbelievable look on the secretary’s face, her body trembled.

How can a woman suffer so much? How can a man be too cruel initially robbing her of dignity and all, then deceiving her after he knows he loves her? How can they not remarry, making their offspring illegitimate? The line between love and hatred is truly fine indeed! Thank you for this story....
