I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 45

No one would expect that Franklin would ask such a question.

 

Even the air seemed to be frozen at that moment. Ruby felt like getting goose pumps all over.

 

“Grace, do you agree with her?”

 

Perhaps only a few words could bail her out.

 

Grace clearly noticed the fear conveyed by Ruby's eyes when she looked through.

 

Then Grace raised her head with a gentle smile, “Of course.”

 

Ruby felt like her body drenched with sweat. She might be trapped in a phobia of such kind of feeling from now on.

 

She took a look at Grace with mixed feelings in her heart, who seemed to keep on putting both endless pressure and humiliation on her.

 

Perhaps even Ruby herself failed to notice that the more she disdained Grace, the more distorted she would become.

 

She was bail out by Grace, whom she disdained the most.

 

It made Ruby felt like being saved by an idiot, while she deemed herself as a genius paralleled to Albert Einstein.

 

“Mr. Cordon, I need to get down to my own business if there is nothing else you need from me.” Grace did not want to acquaint such a playboy. It weren't because of Ruby, but Grace herself now got nothing left but her bare body.

 

Grace turned around and left. Franklin stared at her till her figure faded away from his sight, and then he shifted his sight on Ruby, with a sneer hidden in his eyes. Obviously, he would never believe even a single words coming out from Ruby's mouth.

 

Perhaps in the eyes of Ruby, she still deemed Franklin nobody but a squanderer spoiled by his rich family.

 

“Are you busy with your work later?”

 

Ruby was a bit flattered when hearing that. Was he caring about her?

 

“No, no that busy today.” Ruby tried to show that she was free to be dated today.

 

Clenching her own fist out of nervousness, Ruby was expecting something...

 

However, Franklin just replied casually, “Well, I am glad to hear that.” Then he put his hands in the pockets and left leisurely, only leaving Ruby behind with confusion written all over her face.

 

‘What did he mean by simply saying so? Just ask me if I am busy and leave like that?’

 

Ruby felt like itching to know the reason why he just simply left. Unfortunately, she had no choice but held back her desire and got back to work. But she was seemingly quite absent-minded.

 

“Ruby, get to the Room 603 on the sixth floor.”

 

The forewoman said to Ruby, while handling her a plate of fruit, “Time to work.”

 

“What? It should be Annie who serves the guests in Room 603, right?”

 

The forewoman squinted at Ruby, “One of the guest make you serve them. Hurry up.”

 

“Alright...”
