I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 68

Ruby was not feeling well at the moment, either.

In front of her was the person that she was thinking of, day in and day out.

However, it seemed that it was not the same person as the one that she had imagined.

With a shallow smile hanging from the corner of his mouth, Franklin pulled over a simple European-style chair and sat right in front of Ruby, "Sit." He pointed to the other side again.

Ruby didn't look good at the moment. Four minutes of drowning made her feel the call of death.

"Mr. Cordon, I ..."

"Shh…" the man on the chair suddenly raised a finger by his mouth, "Don't speak yet, let me take a good look at you."

Franklin's voice was incomparably compelling. Even the smile at the corners of the mouth is persuasive to Ruby. Ruby’s face turned red for a moment, her heart was palpitating faster and faster... What does Mr. Cordon mean?

He said he was going to take a good look at her ... What does that mean?

With an answer almost flashing out of her mind, Ruby raised her head to nervously look at Franklin in front of her.

As soon as she raised her eyes, she stared right into a pair of focused eyes… Mr. Cordon was staring at her!

Almost at the same time, Ruby's words emerged in her mind.

The girl's long hair was dripping wet. It fell gently on the shining black crystal stone floor. Her hair was damp and slippery with water dripping down the tips of her hair, soaking the clothes on her body.

Under the wet clothes, it made her look so lovingly innocent and sweet.

Franklin suddenly moved!

Putting his face close to Ruby's eyes all of a sudden, Ruby was shocked. When she raised her eyes under Franklin's focused and deep eyes, she felt as if her heart was flying out.

"Mr. Cordon ..."

Blushing just a little, she sheepishly opened her mouth to call out.

"Heh… I really can't tell that underneath this clear skin, there's a black heart that's fermenting in the gutter."

Ruby's face abruptly stiffened. The flush on her cheeks hadn't receded yet.

Trembling her lips, she shivered with anger, "That’s too much, Mr. Cordon. You're too much."

"Don't you cry, I'm sick of women crying."

Ruby moaned and bit her lip while glaring at him with resentful eyes.

Franklin stood up: "You tell me, should I punish you or not?"

Punish again!

"Why? It's not like I've offended Mr. Cordon!" Ruby was annoyed.

Franklin sighed and looked at Ruby with a look that said, "Why are you so silly? There's no need to ask?". He glared at Ruby, "You've offended me by setting up Grace."

How come it's Grace again!

Why was everyone calling for Grace? It's never-ending!

What's so great about her? Whether it's Mr. Cordon or President Shaw, they all backed her up!

Ruby looked up abruptly with jealousy flashing in her eyes, "Grace is not a good woman at all! Mr. Cordon, you've been deceived by her!

Mr. Cordon, don't look at her honest appearance, but she's simply wicked in the inside. She's just pretending to be pitiful!"

Franklin abruptly stood up without a word. With his palms in his pockets, he swept a glance at Ruby and spoke faintly.

"I know how I'm going to punish you."

If being pity could be faked, the woman wouldn't be all tense in front of him. She wouldn’t even panic when he found out her secret.
