Chapter 18 Is Your Body Cold, Or Hot?
Gloria didn't dare to blame Caden since he was her boss. But when she looked at Grace, her gaze
showed that she was feeling sad for her.
Had this woman offended her boss so that he treated her in this manner cruelly?
A trace of complicated emotion flashed in Gloria's eyes as she watched Gloria limping away with one
hand on the wall.
The money and the bank card in her hands seemed to bear burning temperature.
Gloria turned around and rushed to her office. She put the bank card and all the notes into the safe and
felt that the burning pain on her palms finally vanish after doing all these.
When Gloria opened the door of Room 606, she almost bumped into Caden.
“President Shaw.” Gloria greeted him respectfully. Caden softly uttered a word, “Yeah”, and then
walked pass her and headed towards outside.
When Gloria stepped into the room, she heard those guests talking about Gloria. “That woman is so
lowly and cheap! I've dated numerous women and see various kinds of greedy women, but le never
seen a woman who would throw her dignity and act so lowly to get the money. Tsk..."
“Yeah, when l saw her lying on all fours wagging her tail degradingly, I felt the impulse to kick her. Why
could she be so shameless and degrade herself to that point, just to earn the rewards? l've never seen
a person acting like this!”
Gloria wanted to refute them!
That was not the casel
lf Grace loves money above everything else, how could she casually give her all the money without any
reluctance as soon as she walked out of the room?
lf Grace loves money above everything else, she could choose to keep the money. How would she give
her all the money and leave without even glancing at it?
Grace felt so tired. She went back to the dressing room, undressed the clown costume, and changed
into her own clothes.
She felt so uncomfortable with the sticky sweats on her forehead, and walked into the washroom of the
dressing room, turned on the faucet, and cupped a handful of water to wash her face.
Then a gust of wind blew over... Grace stiffly loòoked at the man from the mirror, and subconsciously
clenched her fists.
“President Shaw."
Seeing from the mirror, the man was staring at her expressionlessly.
After a long while, he chuckled, “Heh, you have more self-knowledge. That place is really a good place
to educate misbehaved people.”
Then a big hand gently landed on Grace's face, covering her cheek.
He slowly stroked her bloodless face with his thumb, and curled his lips into a cold smirk, “Unluckily, it's
too late. Grace .James, our arrogant lady of the James family. Haha, you deserve it. lÝ you could
behave yourself three years ago, you won't suffer this kind of humiliation today. Am I right?”
Graces heart missed one beat... She knew what he meant.
He was suggesting that if three years ago, she had been as obedient as she was now, and if she hadn't
killed Wallis Venus, she would still be
the lady of the James family of the Pearl City, and wouldn't be so miserable.
She understood... She understood everything!
Shivering, she opened her mouth, “I appreciate your lesson, Mr. Shaw.” If this happened three years
ago, Grace would definitely refute him and exclaimed her innocence. But now, she had learned how to
keep silent.
Her silence and obedience made Caden bristle with rage. Yet he could not tell why he would feel
furious.
Then his gaze became fiercer. The strange feeling and the mixed emotion had annoyed Caden, who
had always been composed and indifferent.
He furrowed his eyebrows and curled his lips into a cold, evil smile, “Grace .James, our lady, you
surprised me again. Hey, if your brother sees you wagging your tail pitifully, would he get mad?”
No. You can't do that! Grace subconsciously wanted to shout out the sentence. Her fingernails nailed
into her palm and she suddenly came to her own senses.
She looked down, daring not to look at the mirror anymore. She was afraid that he would find out
something through her reflection in the mirror.
“President Shaw, I don't have a brother. I killed a person and was then put into jail. m just a convict who
lives her life by entertaining quests. How could the James family has a daughter who has committed
murder?”
Caden hadn't expected that Grace would say all these and was stunned for a moment. He burst into NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
laughter, “Grace James, I underestimated you before. You’re really cold-blooded. No wonder that you
would commit that vicious crime three years ago.”
Caden kept her head down and didn't reply. His cold words were like a sword that pierced through her
heart, making her feel painful and stirring up waves of emotions in her mind.
Cold-blooded? Caden Shaw, you forced me to be cold-bloodedl!
“But i'm curious about whether the body of such a cold-blooded person is cold or not. Or, is it... as hot
as normal people?”
Grace was frozen when hearing the words. Then he leaned forward, hugged her from behind and put
his hand on her waist. His body was quite scorching! Grace was startled and shivered all over. She
looked down and found that his big hand was on her belly!
He unclasped two buttons of her loose coat and slid his hand into her clothes... Grace shivered again.
Caden subconsciously knitted his eyebrows... There was a sweater under her coat. lt was summer
now, and she was wearing a sweater?
With the question, he lifted Grace's sweater... “Caden!” Flustered, Grace shouted out his name without
a second thought.
Caden squinted at her and asked coldly, “What's the matter?”
Grace's shoulders tremble and she stammered, “P...President Shaw.” She could felt that he was
caressing the skin on her belly and was appalled that his hand was moving towards the left... it was
closer to the scar that she didn't want others to touch.
Graces heartbeat accelerated. His hand...
“President Shaw!” She suddenly exclaimed.
“What's the matter again?” Grace thought that the erotic desire in his voice must be an illusion.
Right at this moment, Graces brain was working rapidly!
“President Shaw, pay me!” said Grace. “I engage in prostitution. If President Shaw wants to touch me,
you should pay me.”
She said these as if it was quite natural. Caden reminded the scene in Room 606 just now - the woman
in his arms had acted so slowly to get the money. All of the sudden, his erotic desire faded away.
With no reason, when he looked down at the woman in his embrace, he felt even unhappier. Since he
couldn't figure out the reason behind this, Caden simply ascribed the weird feelings to his disgust for
her.
He suddenly let go of Grace, “Get out!”
Grace quickly ran out of the washroom as if she was running from a monster. Not daring to stay her
any longer, she opened the door of the dressing room and left without turning around.
In the washroom of the dressing room, the handsome Caden was exuding an aura of unapproachability
and indifference.
Grace asked Gloria for leave and hurriedly ran back to her staff dormitory - South Bay House.
Ruby Carter, her roommate, hadrït come back yet. Grace stood before the window and blankly looked
up at the sky through the window. The window was widely opened and the cold wind and drizzles fell
on her.
She told herself, “Tomorrow will be better."
