The building of the Shaw Group.
A black Bentley came to a halt slowly. In the car, a big long leg was first stepped out. Then, Caden got off gracefully. He walked around to the passenger seat to open the door.
Caden squinted at the taciturn woman in the car. Without urging, he was waiting for the woman in the car to take the initiative to make a choice.
Up to this moment, Grace still didn't know why she compromised with him. Why did she put on the suit he had prepared for her and obeyed his orders?
A sense of self-disgust climbed into her heart. She hated such incompetent herself, hating such herself who dared not even resist!
It was the time to go to work, so there were many staffs of the Shaw Group coming to work. Grace couldn't bear the eager and curious eyes that secretly looked at her, she had to get out of the car.
When she got out of the car, the eyes of those who entered and exited the Shaw Group became more and more curious and eager. Almost nervously, Grace immediately lowered her head and buried her head deeply in her chest. It was best not to let others see her any slightest... She was afraid of so many people, afraid of these gazes. She was like a person who had been in the dark for a long time. Suddenly, when she walked outside and was exposed to the sun, she would not feel warm, but would only feel dazzling.
Caden walked in front, followed by Grace. Caden who walked into the gate of the Shaw Group suddenly stopped. He turned around to look at Grace behind him.
The woman hesitated outside the gate. She refused to cross the gate, and to cross the line of defense.
Caden squinted... Back then, this woman walked into his company, even walked into his office, how proud and confident she was!
The shy person had always been Wallis, not Grace.
Today, the past was kept in his memory, but the reality was no longer the same.
He also thought of her being so humble in front of everyone after being released from prison. Her defensive posture that could be called a perfect score last night. The scene she exclaimed "Don't hit me" was in his mind…
If, in those three years, he made her lose something important, he must help her find it back... Franklin’s way of loving her was to let smile appear on her face. Helping her regain her lost dignity and pride was the way he loved her.
"You can walk in and go to a meeting with me. Or you turn around now and go back to your residence." Caden glanced at Grace lightly. "I will never be kidding. I will not stop you."
Grace bit her lip and looked at the man opposite, wanting to see his intentions from his face, but Caden had always been calm. Besides, she couldn't see anything from his faint expression at this moment.
Two choices...?
She was still dropping her head, just using the corner of her eye to scan around her carefully. Those carefully peeping gazes at her and those curious eyes were like scourge. She carefully peeped at Caden.
Although those voices were lowered, Grace still heard those discussions. She also saw those curious eyes with a trace of contempt...
"Who is this woman? Why so timid..."
"How could Mr. Caden know such a petty woman..."
"Look at her. The suit of clothes in her is a famous brand, but it can't hide her shabbiness..."
These intermittent discussions. Although Grace didn’t hear clearly, she heard it.
Her face was pale. With her head dropped down, she bit her lip. Then she tasted a hint of blood.
Caden’s eyes kept falling on her. Grace could hear the discussion surrounding her. He could naturally hear some of them, but Caden did not scold those people, just focusing on her. Back then...Grace was not afraid of those words. She once said to him arrogantly, “Why should I care about the evaluation of someone who is inferior to me?”
But today's Grace, no matter it was others’ curious eyes or words, they were like scourges to her, which could easily make her suffocate.
Those contemptuous eyes, those mocking words... Grace turned around to run away. She ran to the side of the road, stretched out her hand to hail the taxi.
Caden did not stop her. He quietly watched the woman take a taxi and leave.
