I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 192

"Does Mr. Shaw agree?" Mr. Garcia knew the master of this family was the man he should be loyal to.

Grace took her mobile phone out of her bag, dialed the phone, and whispered to Mr. Garcia with a smile, "I’ll ask for his permission right away."

When the phone was connected, she said something to the person on the other side of the phone. She said that she wanted to go back to the James family, and offered, "If you’re worried about me, just let Gloria accompany me."

Although Mr. Garcia stood aside respectfully, he kept an eye on Grace all the time.

Grace hung up the call and showed her cell phone to Mr. Garcia. The screen of the mobile phone showed Caden’s name, "Mr. Garcia, Mr. Shaw agreed. And he let Gloria to accompany me. I’ll call Gloria."

Suddenly, she exclaimed, "My clothes got dirty in the morning. I have to go upstairs and change into new clothes.” Then she turned and went upstairs.

As she walked, she paid attention to Mr. Garcia.

She didn’t know about the new housekeeper. She didn’t know if the housekeeper would be cheated by her. Actually, she didn’t call Caden just now.

She just casually looked for a phone number and marked it "Caden", which was a bit like a telephone fraud.

Those people just took advantage of her.

But no one ever asked her what she wanted.

She went into the bedroom, picked simple clothes to wear, and gave Gloria a call, "Gloria, now there is a chance which can help to rehabilitate me. Will you help me?"

As soon as Gloria got on the phone, she heard Grace’s direct question.

She was a little shocked, and then her expression softened and there was tenderness in her eyes, "I will."

There were no too many words, but just two words made Grace feel warm.

Grace clenched her cell phone, hesitating. Gloria didn’t ask her anything… But soon, she became determined.

She changed into her clothes and went downstairs. She observed Mr. Garcia’s expression. She found that Mr. Garcia did not doubt her, and she was a little relieved.

In fact, as long as Mr. Garcia gave Caden a call in person, her lie would be exposed.

But she succeeded. Mr. Garcia certainly didn’t expect that she would cheat him in such a way.

She was glad that she had not done anything that would arouse the suspicion of Mr. Garcia, and she couldn’t help cheering. Soon, she would be able to leave him!

After a while, Gloria’s car stopped at the gate. Grace went over and said to Mr. Garcia, "Mr. Garcia, I left my lipstick on the table. Would you please take it down for me?"

In this way, the last suspicion in his mind disappeared.

"Yes, my lady."

Soon, Mr. Garcia handed the lipstick to Grace. She said, "thank you." She also reminded Mr. Garcia, "And, don’t forget to prepare a bowl of stewed bird’s nest, I will eat it in the evening."

She still added, "The water in the bathtub should be warm all the time. It’s cold, so I want to take a bath when I get home."

"The clothes I sent to the laundry have been brought back. They are in the closet, and you remember to spray perfume on my clothes."
