I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 53

Gloria strode to the PR department at a quick pace and swept by others like the wind. And the crowd was confused, "What's wrong with Gloria?"

"I don't have any clue."

"She seems to be heading for the PR department."

"Could it be that janitor did something again?"

"You shouldn’t talk about Grace James behind her back like this. She works hard and conscientiously. And she isn’t in your way." Annie snapped with dissatisfaction, "We are all waiters. And all we need to do is do our job well. If your words cause any trouble, no one can save you."

After saying that, she looked at Ruby Carter, who looked absent-minded in the corner, "Quickly go to table number three. The guests are complaining about you, saying that you haven’t sent the drinks they have ordered over for long."

Ruby was trembling with fear. After she came back from that box on the sixth floor, something was obviously not quite right with her. She looked around at the expressions of her colleagues surrounding her, all of whom did not seem to have known what had happened in the box. Moreover, they didn’t even know that something so huge had happened on the sixth floor and the water had flown all over the floor.

Without deliberation, Ruby knew that the higher-ups must have blocked the news.

So at this moment, among all the staff of the Royal Club, only Ruby Carter knew what had happened the best.

Perhaps, there were also some staff members who knew about the unusual thing happening on the sixth floor. After all, when the thing happened, many boxes on the sixth floor were open to the public. Moreover, the water, in the end, broke open the door of the box and flooded everywhere along the corridor.

But Ruby instantly knew that these people in the know must have been warned not to reveal it.

She was scared as she was shaking with anger.

Now that Annie spoke, Ruby vented her fear and anger all of a sudden, "Annie, when you're scolding others, you should think about yourself first. Have you ever done your job well?"

"How come I haven’t done my job properly?" Annie was hot-tempered. Of course, she wouldn't give in to Ruby.

"You were supposed to be in charge of a box on the sixth floor today, right? So why didn't you go there by yourself and end up letting me go there?" Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been involved in all this mess now.

Thinking about it that way made her feel that she was even more likely to have taken the blame for Annie today.

"Annie, you should at least thank me."

Annie looked at Ruby as if she were staring at an idiot, "You're sick, right?" She thought, “Why should I thank Ruby? Should I thank her because of the fact that she went to the box on the 6th floor on my behalf?”

"Psycho. Why should I thank you? The guests in the boxes on the sixth floor have always spent the biggest. I've somehow been replaced inexplicably. How come I have to say thank you? In my opinion, either I'm dreaming or you have been out of your mind."

What a joke!

"You, you have no idea!" Ruby pointed at Annie with her red eyes, "You don't know anything! You don't even know that today, today… "

"What are you trying to say?"

Annie raised her eyebrows. She had been upset with this Ruby Carter early. In Annie’s opinion, although this woman had an innocent face and thought that she was really a pure and flawless Snow White princess. She was neurotic all day long. When it came to getting things done, she was selfish and disregarded others.

Ruby was so angry that her eyes were red. But she couldn't say anything. Although such a huge issue had happened on the sixth floor, up to now, it was still quiet inside the Royal Club and there wasn’t any noise. And others looked like they didn't know anything. In that case, however stupid Ruby was, she knew that she couldn't disclose the issue.

"Please don’t look at me like that. Your eyes are as red as those of a rabbit. If others see it, they'll think I'm bullying you." Annie finished her words in a slightly mocking manner, turned around, and walked away without paying any attention to Ruby at all.
