I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 170

“Half an hour later, someone will help design the style for you.”

With that, the door was closed again quietly.

Watching the closed door, Grace clenched her fists tightly… Why did she get to this point!

Why could he look so calm after all these things?

Why was she imprisoned in this gorgeous mansion!

Today, Gloria became the only way that she could contact the outside world.

She sat by the window dazedly, she had the view of half of the entire mansion. The two iron gates were opened, allowing the entrance of a business car.

She pushed the window open slightly, hearing the sound of the car engine, the brakes and the flameout. After that, it was the voice of the rigid butler saying “Follow me”. Grace sat by the window and listened to all the sounds. The expressionless face of Sam the butler appeared in her mind again.

She suddenly stood up and ran out of the bedroom. Her fingers on the doorknob, and pulled open the door.

She ran all the way to the study room according to her memory… She panted heavily as she ran.

Bang!

The door was smashed to the wall:

“Caden Shaw, I am not going!”

The study room was immersed in smoke. The man sat on the chair and kept smoking when the door was knocked open. The loud noise made his cigar tremble a little, but soon, he looked as cold as usual.

His dark eyes landed on the woman standing by the door. Seeing that she was panting heavily, he asked, “Did you run all the way here?” His voice was light.

“I’m not going!” She stared at him stubbornly, not answering his question, but emphasizing her intention.

“I am asking you, did you run all the way here?” His gaze was as sharp as the eagle, targeting on the woman.

Grace didn’t care about that at all, did it matter how she come here? Running or not, how was that important?

The more important thing was…

“I said! I am not going!”

“I will ask you one last time, did you run all the way here?” His gaze got cold, staring straight into that woman.

With the floating smoke, this cold gaze was partly hidden and partly visible, flashing with fury.

The woman bit her lips. She felt the pressure emanated from the man behind the desk, which was so intense that she was almost suffocated.

Still, she was extremely stubborn, biting her lips tightly and standing at the door quietly. She did not intend to give in, thus, she stared into his eyes as well.

Her heart was pounding so fast that as though it was about to jump out of her chest. Her eyes reddened, but she insisted to be quiet and just kept staring at him.

Subconsciously, she stepped back, the man was still the same as before… No, he was even more aggressive!

After stepping back, she suddenly realized something that made her want to knock on her own brain. Why was she so impulsive, why would she come to provoke him?

She turned around and wanted to escape.

A hand grabbed her shoulder from behind firmly. The low voice unique to that man reached her ears, “Where are you going?”
