Garrett looked at her disheveled, "You really think it's up to you now?"
She was still pretending to be lofty and pure!
"I know it's not up to me right now, but you can't do this to me." Grace's stomach has been tumbling, her hands tightly holding the wall.
"So what do you want? One man is not enough? huh?" Garrett still looked at her with cold eyes, she is the only one who dare to touch his bottom line, and repeatedly talk to him about the terms.
"Let me do anything, but I don't want to stay here. I can make money in another place better than staying here." Isn't he just for the money? Then how she makes money, he shouldn't care.
"Garrett." Anna started to talk, she stared at Grace, this woman actually has means, otherwise, Garrett won’t waste time with her, and while knowing Perry’s humiliated Grace, his waveless countenance had a slight motion.
"Garrett, let me arrange it!" Then she left with holding Garrett’s arm.
"Mr. Garrett." Grace watched them go, the whole body collapsed to the ground, her stomach has suffered for a bit while. Ultimately, she spat out directly.
Jay looked at her, "You'd better listen to Garrett." After saying that, he threw a coat on her shoulder.
Grace stood up and said, "Thank you." "When Jay turned around, she was seen taking an unstable step, step by step towards the other end of the corridor.
She finally got rid of it, instead of going to sell her own body, she need to help out in the kitchen, wash a lot of dishes and cups on her own.
She’s washed them every day, sitting there until her waist can not straight up, her hands were peeling, but she did not complain a sentence.
Anna stood at the kitchen door, seeing Grace was washing the dishes hard without complaint. This woman was really impressive, she desperately beg for mercy, and now, even if she is tired of cramping, she does not say a word, chose to wash rather than be a hostess.
Garrett sat in the box, several men also sat there, they were cozy up to Garrett, "Mr. Garrett, look at this, Do you satisfied with this?" The middle-aged man handed over a check.
"Mr. Wilson is really generous, but..." Garrett raised his eyebrows, he certainly knows that he has a good project in his hand, numerous of them are fighting for this, he knows that APLEX wants this project too,
He's supposed to meet with Alex.
"Mr. Garrett, still not enough? Just name a number, I would commit to you. " Mr. Wilson went to great lengths to meet with Garrett, and he had to lock the project down.
The money that will be gained from the success of this project is up to a billion dollars, no wonder everyone wants this.
"Of course not, I decided to run an election this time, and I needed to decide it through the board." Although Garrett said so, it is only an excuse, as long as Garrett wants something, no one will object to him.
"Of course, I'll try my best." Mr. Wilson nodded and bent immediately, "Then I won't bother you for so long." Then he left immediately. They all knew that Garrett was the man with a bad temper, and that had no good consequences if they annoyed him.
Anna came in, "Garrett."
“Why did you get here?" Garrett put down the glass and looked at Anna.
"Mr. Alex has been waiting for you for a while." Anna sat down beside him, "Moreover, what about Miss White?"
"About what? She's not happy with that? "Garrett didn't listen to her for so many days that she didn't come to him and talk to him about the terms.
If she wants, then keep doing it. The woman's gut was even tougher than he thought.
"No, I'm surprised she didn't dissent with it." Anna looked at him, "As a Miss White, the famous social butterfly in the crowd, willing to wash dishes in the kitchen than serve men."
"You should not care about this, I knew all these." The expression of Garrett was calm.
"That vice president, do you want to see him now?" Anna reached for his cup.
Garrett asked her to fill the glass, "I'm not going to see him though, you make her send a bottle of wine to him."
Alex sat in the box, followed by him was his special assistant Adam.
"Mr. Alex, do you think Mr. Garrett would meet us? We have been waiting for almost an hour.”Adam felt that Garrett was simply making fool of them.
"No hurry, I'd like to wait." Alex drank a mouthful of wine, he more actually wants to know is where Grace’s gone if she was taken away by Garrett? What the hell did he do to Grace?
He wants to tell Garrett that she is Grace, not Debbie, and he must let her go.
Adam no longer spoke again, just accompanied by Alex. Without a doubt, this new project for APLEX is also a big project.
Grace inexplicably took a bottle of wine handed over by Anna, "Send this to the 2808 box."
"Miss Ann, I don't want to drink with them." Grace dare not reach out to take over.
"Take it easy, we won't stop you this time even you want to sell your body." Anna's words made Grace a little confused.
"Miss Ann." Grace pinched the bottle tightly.
"Go on! Don't make Garrett angry.” Anna threw a glance at her, and these days she passed safe and sound, so now she should take a hint.
Grace wearing a white-red rolling waiter's clothes, and still, around an apron, hair was tied into a ponytail as a few strands were scattered down, such a scruffy look may make people feel bad.
She walked towards the box, knocked lightly on the door, and then pushed into the room.
As soon as Alex looked up and saw Grace, "Gracie?"
Grace froze, hands loosed, the bottle slipped to the ground, "Alex?"
"Why you here? How did you become like this? " Alex immediately stepped forward, held Grace into his arms.
"No, don't do this." Grace tried to push him away, but he hugged her more tightly.
"Tell me, it was Garrett, right?" Alex held her peeling hand.
Grace smiled, "I'm fine, this is my own willingness, none of his business."
If she's allowed to spend her whole life in the kitchen, if she can keep her body from being insulted, then she's willing.
"It's none of his business? You look awful!” Alex looked at her hand and her face, such a pain to his heart, made his heartbreak.
Grace retreated from his arms, "Alex, I have things need to do, I need to go."
How did she appear in front of Alex in such a look a fright way? She decided to stay away from him, not to be a burden to him.
12
“Don't go, I'm gonna get you out of here, out of this place!” Alex put her back in his arms.
His beloved woman suffered so much that he could not bear it. When she disappeared, not even could call her phone because she was in a house and arrested in this way.
Grace shook her head, she can not leave, not even a step. If she ran away, then all the consequences following are not what she alone could bear, she should be glad that now she hasn’t been insulted by others, nor hit the body injury by Garrett’s men.
"Alex, you just go, I want to stay here, you should go back to Ms. Jones's side! She is the one you should love! ”
And I'm just your burden, will only bring you the trouble. Today, they meet here, Garrett knew it, he deliberately made her send wine.
"Gracie!" Alex saw her retreat from his arms, looking at the sadness in her eyes, he knew she was forced, he knew she was helpless.
"Mr. Alex." Adam then spoke out and stopped him.
"You go out, and I have something to say." Should he now care more about consequences?
Garrett not gonna see him tonight just to let him know that Garrett is in control of everything.
"You tell me, did he force you to do this? How could he let you do such a thing?” Alex held her hands in his palms and tenderly stroke.
Grace took back her hands, "Alex, you misunderstood, not him, I will do this."
"Is that really good? Look at you, slimmed down quite a bit, and look haggard so much. As if I saw the little girl in White's house, the girl who was born so many mortifications and being bullied.” Alex yelled at her.
"That little girl has gone, I won't be that little girl anymore." Grace smiled, "I've grown up now, I'm a tough person, you know? In these years you've been away, I've lived well without you, really. And I will still be doing well in the future. ”
Even without him, she would be well, and she would not even have a chance to die, because Garrett did not allow him, he wanted to abuse and torture her for a lifetime. But now, she felt very good.
"Don't be so stubborn okay? Come back with me, okay? "Alex should now understand why she doesn't want to be by his side, why is she still suffering here?
Grace staggered back to the kitchen, she is not stubborn, she has no choice.
Alex left, even for several days did not appear again, he should be with Ms. Jones, and being quite a jolly right?
Grace returned to the small house arranged for her by the entertainment club, there was no heating, only a small bed, thin cotton quilt, she huddled in the corner, and the dim light shining faint light.
Garrett sat in the office as Alex sat on the sofa, two people have been deadlocked for half an hour, no one spoke first.
Until a cup of coffee turned cold, Alex stood up from the sofa, "Mr. Garrett, you asked me to come over, not only for drinking coffee right?"
"Of course not, I thought Mr. Alex has something need to say. " Garrett really did not think that Alex can endure so many days, he thought he would find him immediately, and shout why he treated his lover in that way.
"yes, I do have something to say, I'm gonna take her away." Alex also does not want to go around with him, he came here for one purpose, Garrett should be very clear only right.
"Why do you want to take her? Ain’t ya the vice president of APLEX? If you let Mr. Jones knows that you doing this for another woman, will you still deserve the vice president position? "Garrett raised his eyes, and the sharp glare stared at Alex.
He knows Alex clearly, Alex’s now the property is given by the Jones family which also could take these back.
Alex looked at him, knowing Garrett can really see through everything, he is really the one in control of the overall situation.
"So what? Even if I have nothing, I wouldn't let her do the dishes. "Even if Alex leaves Jones's family, he will not let Grace suffer such things.
"You're right, if you don't have anything, I'll give you no chance to even wash the dishes!" He is as good as his word, he could make them become penniless.
"Why you did these so worse, there is nothing wrong with her, she has suffered enough, why do you torture her so much?" Alex didn’t understand how Nicholas provoked Garrett to this extent, he confirmed that it was not related to the money, Garrett is not short of money at all.
"Don't want her to suffer these? I could make it work. But one thing, I’ve seen the program from APLEX, I am satisfied, but I hope if you are willing to make another 20% profit on the original basis, then she will be safe and sound. Mr. Alex, what do you think?" Garrett leaned against the big shift chair.
With a cold face, calmly looked at Alex.
Alex hesitated, although he takes complete responsibility for the project, but 20% of the profits, which will be worse than last year in the annual benefits.
He couldn't account for the side of Daniel, but he had to do it for Gracie.
"Okay, I accept it, but I need to see her now." Alex must make sure that she is still good, and he must make sure what he did so could help Grace to get rid of her present life.
Garrett lit a cigarette, "Mr. Alex, don't you trust me? I've always been the one as good as words, I said I would let her safe and sound, but you wanna meet my wife, not very decent right? ”
His woman can only be kept by him, and he’s the one in charge. But he's also the man who will do what he has promised.
Alex stood in front of him, "Yes, I don't believe you, I won't believe a man who does everything he can to get something!"
"What about you? Aren't you doing whatever it takes to get what you have now? You're engaged to Miss Jones just want the title of vice president of APLEX, and you're not going to let yourself lose everything you have just for a woman. "
The words of Garrett hit him hard.
Alex was also the one who sold himself for money and status, as well as power.
"You can go back when you sign the agreement, she'll be in a better life as you want." When Garrett finished, he was asked to leave.
Grace returned to the villa again, has been leaving for so long, even if she lived in that small house, still more comfortable than living here.
"Miss White, you're back." As soon as Sarah saw her back, she immediately came forward and brought her into the room.
"Sarah." Grace saw the look of Sarah.
"Come on, come in, sir had said let you stay upstairs from today on." She took Grace upstairs, showed an elegantly decorated, feminine room. So is it a special arrangement for her?
