I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 40

The taxi drove towards the Royal Club. Grace got out of the taxi and stood in front of the Royal Club International, where even the exterior decoration of the building looked low-key and luxurious.

 

She didn't rush in. Instead, she lifted her hands and meticulously arranged her clothes to make herself look good and neat, then she tore the gauze from her forehead and tucked her bangs up over the scar that had three or four stitches on it.

 

Once everything was done, she straightened the spine that had been bent for the past three years as best she could. Without looking away, Grace lifted her feet and walked into the brightly lit Royal International Entertainment Club.

 

Behind her, a sapphire blue Ferrari stopped in front of the Royal International Entertainment Club. The window slowly rolled down and revealed a face that could be described as gorgeous. This was the strange man who had watched Ruby and Grace talking to each other in the hospital.

 

At this moment, the pair of rosy eyes on that gorgeous face was flashing with the excitement and bloodlust of hunting!

 

"Grace?" He kept his eyes fixed on the door of the Royal Club. After a moment, he slowly pulled his cell phone out of his suit pocket and dialed a number.

 

He asked lazily to the person on the other end of the phone.

 

“Leon, have you ever seen the most beautiful woman?”

 

The man on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment and didn't answer his question. Instead, he asked in a deep 

voice, "Who has become your prey again?"

 

Then the man laughed out loud, "You are still the one who knows me the best’

 

"_..What kind of woman is she?” Leon never imagined that his best friend would take a fancy to Grace, whom he had once 

met.

 

It couldn't be Leon's fault because the man had liked women in the past who were very posh. Who would have thought that 

this time his tastes would be so particular?

 

“Leon, that's the most interesting woman I've ever met. I don't think I'll be bored for the next three months in China.”

 

Leon, who was startled on the other end of the phone, asked with his eyebrows raised, “You think so highly of her?" Three months? It should be noted that the longest hunt this guy had had so far was only two months.

 

"She's an interesting woman and the most paradoxical woman I've ever met. She's both humble and proud. Have you ever seen anyone who can interpret humble as proud as the proud sun? Unless that pride of her was embedded in her bones.

I'm curious as to who and what could have turned such a woman into what she is. Leon, I want to awaken the real her:

Leon felt somehow frightened. He'd known Cayne for over a decade and had never heard such words from him, "Do what you want.” He still trusted his best friend's sanity, "I won't stop you, Cayne. But you must understand that the human heart cannot be toyed with. Stop where it should stop”

 

Cayne laughed but didn't say anything and hung up.

 

He got out of the car, slammed the door, lifted his feet, and walked to the Royal Club.

 

"Why is she here again? Didn't she say she wasn't feeling well?”

 

"Leave her alone. We're not on the same page as her:

 

“Exactly. I heard Ruby lives with her, and there's a lot of conflict between them”

 

"Even if they have a lot of conflicts, when she's sick, isn't it still Ruby who takes care of her every day?”

 

Grace had just arrived at the Royal Club and entered the PR department. Along the way, she heard many people whispering 

behind her back. Now she was ina state of mind that could be described as numb.

 

She was not stupid. The reason why these words were spread out and who was responsible for it, she knew it in her heart.

 

As for the truth, she was afraid that no one would care.

 

So, did it matter if she explained it or not?

 

Grace turned a deaf ear to all the gossiping and judging that was going on behind her back. She pushed open the lounge door
