I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden)

Cayne looked at her hand. She was thinner. He kept silent, reached out and held her hand. He touched the callus in her hand. She shouldn't have the callus. He felt heartbroken. She was too thin.

If he gave her the 500,000 yuan, she wouldn't look like that.

He couldn't help but touch her callus and rub it.

He just stroked her hand.

"Mr. Cayne, behave yourself."

Cayne was surprised. She warned him.

He was reluctant, but he let go.

When he saw the scar on her forehead, he remembered the feeling when he kissed the scar. His lips itched. He looked away. Otherwise, he would want to kiss the scar. "This scar..."

She tidied her clothes and said, "Mr. Cayne, I think that I was wrong. I shouldn't have wanted to cooperate with you. Goodbye."

She was unwilling to accept Caden's help. How could she accept Cayne's help?

She glanced at the folder in her hand. Their efforts were in vain. Vivian would say that she was stupid after she went out. Thinking about it, she chuckled.

Vivian would say that she was stupid.

Indeed, she was stupid.

"Wait a moment." When she arrived at the door of the meeting room, Cayne said.

"Can you reconcile with me? Can we resume our relation like the past?"

Grace stopped. "Do we have the past? Mr. Cayne, if you knew the old me, please forget me."

The past?

He was the whoremaster and she was a whore.

She mocked herself.

Her past was ridiculous.

"As far as I know, Jafar embezzled most of the James Group's circulating fund.

In other words, the James Group lacks money."

Grace held the handle of the door tightly. She was anxious. "Mr. Cayne, do you have the proof? Your words may cause the stock market of the James Group to be in turmoil. You're liable for what you said!" How did he know that? Besides her and the finance chief, no one else knew that!

As for the finance chief, it was impossible for him to leak it out. Jafar embezzled the money from the James Group. The finance chief also should take responsibility for it!

If it were serious, the finance chief was Jafar's accomplice.

If it weren't that serious, the finance chief had failed in the execution of his duty.

No matter what, the finance chief should take the responsibility!

How did Cayne know that?

Cayne walked forward and said in a deep voice, "You know if it's a rumor or not. Grace, do you want to cooperate with me?"

He was confident that Grace would cooperate with him.

Naturally, she knew his thoughts.

But...

She held the door handle and pushed the door of the meeting room open. The light in the corridor flashed into her eyes. She strode out. Her footsteps echoed in the corridor.

In the corridor, she listened to her footsteps. She was so resolute and unwilling to compromise. She refused him firmly.

Walking out of the long corridor, she looked up at her employees. They stood up from their chairs excitedly when they saw her. They had a tremendous air of expectancy.

"Ms. Garce, how is the result?" A person looked at her and asked cautiously and expectantly.

She felt sorry for them.

She closed her eyes and clenched her fists tightly. She even left nail marks on her palms.

"Ms. Grace, did we fail?" They were disappointed.

Grace held breath. She gritted her teeth. Even if she didn't open her eyes, she could guess how disappointed they were. They were brought here by her!

It was her, Grace, who brought these people here. She asked them to work overtime for a week.

It was sudden!

She opened her eyes and turned around.

She kept silent. Under the gaze of these people, she walked back towards the meeting room.

She closed the door before. Standing at the closed door of the meeting room, she took a deep breath and pushed it open. "Mr. Cayne, do you still welcome me?"

She pretended to be calm, but she felt painful as if she was cutting herself by a sharp knife.

In the meeting room, Cayne was astonished. He thought that she wouldn't come back.

Then he smiled and said, "Welcome."

Although she was reluctant to compromise with him, she had no choice but to walk in.

"Can we talk about the cooperation?" Grace didn't want to meet new problems and went straight to the point.

Sooner or later, she would forget Cayne as time went by.

Cayne stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, smiled gently and replied happily, "OK."

He was happy that she came back.

Grace opened the folder swiftly and sat down. She had a talk about their cooperation with Cayne.

She explained thoroughly and earnestly.

When she talked about the business, she didn't care about their private matter.

Jafar caused trouble, but she wanted to guard the group. She did that for...

She didn't notice that Cayne was looking at her when she explained the project. He observed her every action.

Sometimes she frowned. Sometimes she explained briskly.

Looking at her who was working, he was attracted by her. He felt happy.

She put down the documents on the table gently, looked up, and said.

"Mr. Cayne, after my explanation of half an hour, you must have learnt the project. The cooperation is beneficial to both sides.

Moreover, I want Mr. Cayne to know that.

We're sincere in cooperating with your company to develop the new project."

"I've felt the sincerity of the James Group."

"It means that you're willing to cooperate with us, right?"

Cayne was handsome. He stared at her gently. "Of course, I want to cooperate with you, but I have a condition."

Grace replied, "Mr. Cayne, go ahead."

"I would love to cooperate with you. If I didn't satisfy with the project, I would withdraw the investment."

"The James Group will do their best and arrange the elites..."

Cayne waved his index finger. He said confidently, "No. I will be in charge of this project personally. The person who will be in charge of the project of the James Group must be you."
