I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 54

Although Manager Xu didn’t know who Big Boss was, she knew that the person behind the Royal Club must be pretty powerful, which was the reason why the Royal Club could stand firm in S City.

At this moment, Gloria was telling her that the one who had rescued Grace James was the most mysterious "Big Boss".

“Big Boss” was just a name for the powerful backer behind Royal Club.

Manager Xu's legs went weak. And she fell to the ground with her head buzzing. Gloria didn't make the situation particularly explicit. However, what she had said was sufficient to make Manager Xu understand some things.

Manager Xu felt that her brain was in a mess. And suddenly, she was enlightened, looked up abruptly, and shouted: "As for Grace’s whereabouts today, I do not know it. Gloria, wait a moment. I'll go and have an investigation."

Manager Xu thought, “It must be someone with ill-intentions who has got Grace on board.”

If she had known that the shabby Grace James had an unclear and ambiguous relationship with the “Big Boss”, she would never have found Grace an eyesore… Anyway, she didn’t want to die.

Gloria got suspicious. She did somewhat know this Manager Xu, who wouldn’t necessarily tell her such a lie.

However, if Manager Xu hadn’t made such an arrangement, then Grace James... On the other side, Manager Xu ran out in person and asked whoever she ran into, "Where is she?"

"Huh?"

"Grace James! Where is she?"

"She is, she is in the lounge. Manager Xu, why are you looking for Grace James… "

Before the speaker could finish her words, Manager Xu ran away like a gust of wind.

"Er… "

"Did this Grace James do something again? How come Gloria was here and forced Manager Xu to find her personally?"

"What should you care about her?"

"Your words do make sense."

The employees went on with their discussion. Manager Xu ran into the restroom as if she were a whirlwind, "Grace James, you…" she got used to talking to Grace James in a condescending manner. Suddenly, she remembered Gloria's words, coughed awkwardly, and softened her tone.

"Are you okay?"

Grace was baffled, wondering why Manager Xu cared about her.

"I am fine."

"I… am here to ask you about the issue happening in the VIP box on the sixth floor today."

Grace stiffened all over.

"Don't be nervous." Manager Xu reassured her, "I just wanted to ask that why did you go to the box on the sixth floor since I didn’t arrange any work for you on the sixth floor today?"

As she asked Grace, she thought to herself, “Could it be that this Grace James was greedy for money? After all, despite the fact that what Grace had done was suppressed, everyone in Royal Club knew what she did.”

“If she could disregard her dignity for money’s sake, then she might also be willing to die for money.”

"Someone asked me to go there." Grace didn't overthink it. Besides, she just thought that Manager Xu was just asking this as a routine inquiry. After all, Manger Xu hadn’t made any arrangements for her. And yet she had run to the VIP box on the sixth floor, which was always not good.

In the meantime, Manager Xu raised her eyebrows, "Who is it?" She stared at Grace instantly in a sharp manner.

"I don't know. I think it was a request from the client, who personally asked me to go over there."

"In that case, after you were there, was there any staff in the box?" Manager Xu, who was experienced anyway, got down to the point right away.

"Ru…" As Grace was about to say Ruby Carter’s name, she suddenly stopped.

As Grace, who was not stupid, thought what Manager Xu had asked her over and over again, she got her point abruptly, knowing that Manager Xu was not only doing a routinary checkup but also gathering information from her.

She pursed her lips. It wasn't that she didn't loathe Ruby Carter. It was just that she didn't want to talk behind others’ backs.
