Caden's heart thudded, “Grace, whether you believe it or not, there's a misunderstanding about this matter.”
A misunderstanding?
Grace looked at Caden, he actually said that there was some misunderstanding about this matter?
“President Shaw, you wouldn't want to say that you had nothing to do with this matter, that you didn't know about this matter, right?” She did not know whether to laugh or cry, she just felt like she was suffocating inside and could not breathe!
“Do you believe it yourself, President Shaw? Who would dare to do such a thing to me without your signal!”
Caden's face became stagnant... Yeah! Who would dare to do such a thing to her without his signal!
Was it really like what Humbert said, that his attitude towards her three years ago, his attitude towards the whole thing, determined Grace's situation and experience in the past three years?
So, that's why those people treated her with such impunity?
Caden raised his head to look at her, “If I say...”
“You don't have to say it. I'll believe anything you say, really.” Grace said with a smile. Does it matter whether I believe it or not?
Just by looking at Grace, Caden knew that Grace did not believe him. So, he suddenly clenched his fist, swallowing the words he was about to use to explain the situation.
“Fine, since you love work so much, then go and work hard. Within a month, if you can put five million on the table, I'll let you go. Otherwise, it's useless for you to go anywhere.”
Caden's expression was cold when he spoke to Grace.
“What President Shaw says is final, since I still owe you a huge sum of five million, and you ordered that it must be paid back within a month.”
Grace said, “Then, President Shaw, I'm going to work first.”
Caden's heart was on fire, but his eyes were even colder, staring at the woman in front of him with a deadly stare, she really wanted to pay off the five million dollars early and leaving him so badly?!
Why?
She did all this for Leon?
At that instance, a mixture of emotions consisting of anger, jealousy, exasperation, heartache... everything all over the place, like a palette, all mixed together!
And Caden did not even notice the change in his heart, he only knew that Grace had made him angry and annoyed.
After the person left, Caden took out his cell phone and called Gloria: “That damn woman is about to go to work at the Royal Club and there are sleeping pills over there at Kirk’s. So, when that damn woman goes to the Royal Club, you can to trick her into eating half a sleeping pill.”
“... President Shaw, who are you talking about?" Gloria was baffled.
“Grace James!”
Eh, the President seemed to be furious? It was because of Grace again?
“Taking sleeping pills for no reason... is not good, is it?”
“Ask her if it's okay for her to go to work with a fever at thirty-eight point three degrees.”
“Er, I understand, when Grace arrives at the Royal Club, I will mix sleeping pills with hot water and make her drink it.”
Gloria was understanding, knowing that Grace was really putting importance on earning money then her health.
“Right, you don't have to arrange a job for her anymore.” Trying to replace the five million dollars and trying to leave? Not a chance!
“... This, I know. But whether the person is at the Royal Club, or in the PR department. We can't just leave her hanging, it's not good, people will see it, and after some time, they will start spreading wild speculation.”
“Just fire anyone who gossips, do I need to teach you this too?"
Caden said in a cold voice.
“...”
Since you are the president here, so what you say, goes? You just take the whole Royal Club and use it as your toy, that is also your matter, as long as the president is happy.
Gloria thought that sometimes, this person, Caden, can really be capricious because he is rich.
…
Grace arrived at the Royal Club, and as soon as she walked into the gate of the Royal Club, she was called by Gloria.
“Grace, please come to my office.”
