I've Been There Before

Chapter 33: Franklin Cordon

The fact that Caden went to New York, Gloria didn't even know about it. After all, Royal International was only an industry under Caden, it couldn't even count as a special industry.

It was just a place to entertain.

It was simply because that day, that she saw Grace there.

Shaw Group was actually Caden's base camp.

The Shaw family was a very big deal, a really wealthy family.

The Shaw family had inheritance that had passed on for several generations. Under the care of generations, the Shaw family

had become more and more prosperous.

But when it got in the hands of Caden, the prosperity and scale of the Shaw family was unprecedented.

Grace once again met an acquaintance at Royal International.

"Why do you like to walk the stairwell so much?" Franklin had an enchanting aura, and it was easy for him to seduce a lot of

women. Franklin himself also knew about his charm, naturally, he had always been skillful in dealing with those girls.

He never expected that by smoking a cigarette in the stairwell, he would meet such an interesting woman. Franklin still © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

smelled of nicotine right now.

Grace opened her mouth, still a little confused, "You are...?"

"Why, did you already forget?" A wicked smile appeared on his thin lips, and a hand approached Grace's face, slowly, it moved

downward... His gaze followed his fingers, slowly falling on those unpleasant lips.

Suddenly, the feeling of that kiss was remembered... he really wanted to taste it again.

These lips - what kind of magic power was it, that after he came back from a business trip, he came here in a hurry.

"Hey’ In Franklin's eyes he only saw the lips and his slender fingertips touched them. Grace tilted her head to avoid him.

Franklin was not angry, he only said with a chuckle, "Do not move”

While saying so, he reached his fingers to the lips again... It was impossible for Grace not to move, she turned away embarrassed.

"If you move again, 'I will kiss you right now: Franklin's words were explicit.

Grace's ears blushed... She couldn't believe the way he acted!

Franklin was happy.

This woman... Was she blushing just because of this?

God!

Was there still such a naive woman today?

She was like an old fashioned woman... Unprecedentedly rare!

Grace didn't understand a man's mind. When she was in college, she was thrown into that prison. Caden did not give her a

chance to grow from a girl to a woman, and age did not give her a chance to change either.

To this day, she still did not understand men like most women did in the Royal Club.

"'I remember you, you are... Mr. Cordon” She quickly changed the subject.

Franklin didn’t hear her. He just touched her lips with his fingers, and said to himself, "Here.." His fingers were touching her lips, but there was some kind of strange electricity passing from his fingers. It

reached from his fingers to his limbs, Franklin was stunned...

He looked at the woman in front of him who was pinned on the elevator handrail puzzled... What was that?

He didn't think that her appearance and figure had any attraction to him.

Sure enough, was it just because of her lips?

"'I want to make sure about something really important” Franklin said something Grace couldn't understand. This was too

inexplicable, even if it was someone else, they would not be able to understand it.

After Franklin spoke, Grace didn't even have time to understand what he meant, and her lips were covered with warmth.

Her eyes widened suddenly!

What was this?

What was this!

“Ahem. A light cough sounded, Grace was taken aback, but she felt suddenly awake, and stretched out her hand to push

Franklin away.

She looked towards where the sound came from.

"Ahem, sorry to disturb you." It was Ruby.

Ruby had been a bit miserable recently.

Otherwise, why could you run up and down the stairs laboriously without taking the elevator that was there?

Who knew that the struggle in the elevator turned out to be so exciting.

No need to ask, Ruby, like Grace at the time, was deliberately fooled.

It's just that Ruby never expected to see this scene in the stairwell.

Franklin... she knew him!

He was the president of the Cordon Group, so handsome and wealthy, and many women in the club wanted to be a wife to

such a rich man.

But... Grace?

Everyone wanted someone like him, and one actually got a kiss in the stairways... but someone as ugly and who was a lame cripple?

She didn’t know if it was because of the seeming suppression in the Royal Club, or because of the inexplicable jealousy in her heart. Ruby knew that at this time, if she didn't want to cause trouble, the best choice was to leave. Pretend she didn't see anything.

However, when she saw that the woman Franklin kissed was Grace... she was angry and jealous, and she couldn't help but interrupt the two.

Seeing Ruby, Grace slowly lowered her head and remained silent. This was her current attitude towards Ruby.

“Mr. Cordon, 'I have somewhere to be at, so I'll have to excuse myself”

Franklin heard the woman's characteristic rough voice, he was able to stop this woman, but at this moment, his own mood was a little unstable, he watched Grace go upstairs and leave.

“Mr. Cordon. This is Ruby”

The man in front of her was simply the perfect man in her eyes.

A handsome appearance, a handsome face, a figure comparable to a model, and a temperament shining from the whole

body... Ruby noticed that her heart was beating fast.

Franklin slowly turned his head, away from the direction Grace had left, and his gaze finally fell on Ruby. The woman who suddenly appeared... no, she was more like a girl, that was more appropriate to call her.

The corner of Franklin's mouth still showed a smile, and he stared at the girl not far away... Franklin could see clearly what she

was thinking about.

Her pink face looked shy, her red face, the youthful vitality, the elastic skin... There was indeed a pure and moving vitality.

But... what should he do?

His mind was filled with the red ears of that ugly woman, he raised his hand to touch his lips, he had kissed her twice, and it

felt stronger every time.

The first time, he only had the chance to touch her lips, then he was interrupted by Caden.

The second time was just a moment ago, there was only time to kiss her lips, he didn't have time to feel it better, no time to deepen the kiss, and again he was interrupted.

He raised his eyes and glanced at the girl who claimed to be Ruby, the smile on Franklin's mouth remained unchanged, "Your name is Ruby?"

Ruby's breath suddenly became faster out of excitement, "Yes, I, 'I, my name is Ruby. Cordon, Mr. Cordon, I, 'I am here to serve you. Ah... No, 'I mean, 'I am the waiter here. 'I,1..7

“Hah:' A deep and sexy chuckle, melodiously overflowing from Franklin's throat, the smile on Franklin's lips was deeper, and with his slender legs he walked towards Ruby, "You want to serve me?"

"I..."

“Don't be nervous. You are very cute"

The melodious and sexy voice sounded in Ruby's ears, the heart in her chest was like a beating drum, and her face blushed.

In Franklin's eyes flashed a trace of coldness... this is, really disgusting and unnatural.

But he said, “I will remember you, you can go back to work" He gracefully passed Ruby, a tall and slender body, and slowly

stepped down the stairs.

And as he was walking, Ruby's heart fixed itself on him.

This... was really a cruel man!

Ruby went upstairs, she met Grace, and felt uneasy, “Bitch"
