I've Been There Before

“I want to see her.”
She made the next decision in a low voice. She wasn’t pleading, but ordering.
Kim was smart and knew that she would not give in.
“I’ll take you there,” he said and nodded heavily.
He also knew that Grace was referring to see Ruby at once.
She called him out of the quilt with a phone call late at night. It showed that she determined to deal with it as soon as possible.
Besides, Kim knew very well that Grace no longer trusted him as much as before.
Without any nonsense, Kim led Grace to a small apartment in the suburb.
When the doorbell rang, the woman inside opened the door. She sounded to be sleepy and said in a soft voice, “You’re back?
What’s so important? Your boss is too bored.”
“His boss is definitely not bored. Otherwise, why would she appear in front of you?”
When the door opened, a cold voice came into the woman’s ears. It made that woman chill. She just felt that her body became
frozen because of the voice. It was too sudden.
“You ... Why are you here?”
Ruby’s face didn’t change much, but she looked more feminine than Grace remembered. Grace was expressionless and
appreciated Ruby’s awkward complexion.
“Kim, why did she ...” Ruby turned to look at Kim, who was behind Grace.
At this moment, she was still in a daze.
Kim pushed her in embarrassment. “Come in the room and talk about it. It’s so late. We are standing in the corridor. We might
disturb our neighbors.”
Grace followed.

Indeed, it was bad to disturb the neighbors late at night.
Ruby twisted her hands. The three people entered the room one after another. Kim was attentive and poured a cup of tea for
Grace. As for Ruby, she was staring at Grace.
“You work for the James Group?”
Grace’s first sentence showed her destined victory.
Grace was the boss, and Ruby worked for her.
Ruby’s expression immediately changed.
She said in anger.
“Yes, I work for the James Group. I work hard. Isn’t that okay?”
“Work hard?” Grace smiled.
But it made Rudy more uncomfortable when she saw that smile.
“It’s all over. Yes, I was told not to stay in S City.
But I must make a life.
Grace, you don’t have to kill me, right?”
Grace didn’t know much about Ruby. When she heard this, a trace of surprise flashed through her eyes. She looked at Ruby and
didn’t dwell on this topic.
“If you only work hard, I’ll pretend that I never see you.”
Kim was embarrassed and said to Ruby, “Miss Grace ... she knew everything, so tell her everything you did.”
Ruby caught her breath and said angrily.
“I have nothing to tell.”
“Ruby, even if you don’t say anything, I have my way to know it. It’s just a matter of time.”

Grace crossed her hands and placed them on her knees as she said indifferently.
Rudy looked at Grace with a face full of humiliation, as if she was insulted.
“What can I tell you! What? Yes, I work for the James Group, but I didn’t steal or rob anything, or sell myself!”
Grace lowered her eyes and naturally recognized the sarcasm in Ruby’s words.
Kim was so frightened that he berated Ruby, “What did you say? Don’t be so rude!”
Grace waved her hand at Kim. “It’s nothing. She’s also telling the truth.” She thought, ‘Yes, I did sell myself when working in the
Royal Club.
According to that man, not only did I sell my self-esteem, but I sold my life.’
“Did you admit it?” Ruby sneered, “You finally admit it. I don’t understand why you could be so shameless.”
Grace looked indifferent. She slightly sneered at herself ... “Did you admit it?”
Admit it?
When did she deny it?
Grace stared deeply at Ruby, but she was pondering how she had tangled with that man back then.
Ruby felt a little scared when she was stared at by Grace.
Grace rubbed her eyebrows and said, “If I dwell on the past, I wouldn’t have stood in front of you right now. Ruby, let me remind
you. The James Group’s capital gap.”
Ruby’s expression changed. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Without any hesitation, she said vigilantly.
Grace smiled.
“You see? When you heard of the capital cap, you answered that you didn’t understand what I was talking about. You’ve been
working as an assistant with Kim for a few years. You should know some basic financial knowledge. What a terrible and serious
thing it is to have a cash flow gap in an enterprise. Ordinary employees who worked for my group should be shocked by this
news first, and then they’ll suspect whether it is true. But you didn’t. Your first reaction was to deny it.”

Ruby’s face turned slightly pale. She still denied. “I didn’t know what you were talking about. What is a capital gap? I’ve never
heard of that!”
Hearing this, Grace sneered. She nodded and pointed at Kim who was standing aside.
“Your assistant? Not very smart.”
Kim gritted his teeth and said, “She’s not usually like this.”
“Oh, she’s not usually like this, but today she acts in this way?” It was obvious to know Grace’s implication.
Ruby felt more struggled. She stared at Grace, wishing to cut Grace into thousands of pieces. Naturally, this “meaningful” glance
was caught by Grace.
However, she thought about it for a long while and couldn’t figure out what kind of deep hatred she had with Ruby. Why did Ruby
hate her for the whole life?
“What evidence do you have to slander me for leaking the secret?”
Hearing Ruby’s righteous words and looking at her serious expression, Grace was thoroughly delighted. “From beginning to end,
did I mention that you were the leaker?”
When Grace finished her words, Ruby’s delicate and pretty face turned red. Ruby tried to hold back her anger and couldn’t vent
it. She seemed to be enduring and suffering internal injuries.
Grace looked at Ruby for a long time. After that, she sighed as if nothing had happened. “Forget it. The matter ends here.
Ruby, there is no big grudge between us. I didn’t kill your relatives.
But remember, don’t set me up again.” This must be the last time.
Ruby wasn’t kind but wasn’t that bad.
After she experienced the true darkness, how could she be afraid of the night?
“But you ... I can’t leave you in the company.” How could she leave a time bomb in the company?
After saying that, Grace stood up and was about to leave with exhausted steps.

“Stop!” Behind her, Ruby shouted in anger.
Grace subconsciously turned around.
Ruby rushed over and shouted, “Grace! Don’t think you’re so noble! You think you’re great? Don’t always act like a lofty moral
gentlewoman! I hate your pretentious face! Yes! It’s me! I’m that leaker! Sue me! You dare? Don’t forget, a large sum of cash is
missing. Your company is experiencing a capital gap! If you sue me, everyone will know that the James Group is an empty shell!”
Ruby forced Grace to a corner and cried out of excitement, “Sue me! You dare?”
Kim was so angry that he wished he could slap this stupid woman. ‘Miss Grace said that this matter was over, but Ruby is still
making a fuss!’
“Besides, Grace, if you sue me, your father would also get into trouble.”
Grace was furious.
It was not because Ruby mentioned that Jafar would suffer, but because of her attitude. Ruby did wrong. However, she didn’t
repent, but showed an aggressive and rude attitude.
