Chapter 8 Showdown
Chapter 8 Showdown
Nora told Grace, "I don't have much work to do in the company tomorrow, so Murphy gave me a day
off. I'll have a rest and go with you to find a job."
Grace said gaily: "Really?"
Nora smiled: "Of course. When did I lie to you?"
The next day, at daybreak, Nora wakes up Grace: "Get up, little lazy pig. Let's go to find a job!"
It was not easy to find a job in such a big Beijing City, especially for girls from other cities. They were
rejected everywhere and always looked down upon by others.
Grace has found two jobs, but she didn't like them at all. There was another one, which was said to be
inferior to Grace in the company. So Nora tried her best to persuade the company to hire Grace and
promise Grace would work hard and turn to senior staff members for advice with sincerity.
Regarding the sincere attitude of Nora, Grace won the job. But she had to go to the human resources
department for a simple interview. After entering the Department, Grace came out in a short while and
said to Nora, "I messed up my own work..."
Alas! God is not as good as man. Forget it!
Grace said angrily, "There is no place for me to stay here."
Arm in arm with Grace, Nora walked slowly. She hasn't been so free for a long time.
She asked, "Grace, what do you want to eat, it's my treat today."
Grace laughed and said, "You're welcome! I'm going to eat up the food."
Nora said, "Just eat whatever you like. Don't worry about getting fat. If you can't get married, you can
eat as much as you want. Anyway, I won't persuade you."
Grace said, "I'm not afraid, because I don't want to get married. I want to be a free new social woman."
Talking and laughing, they went to a western restaurant in front of them.
Grace knew deeply that Murphy was the pain of Nora's life, so she never talked about anything about
Murphy in front of Nora. However, Grace had her own doubts in her heart, which has tortured her for
half a month since she sent little Hugh to the hospital.
If it went on like this, she would feel depressed to death.
Today, the weather was unusually good, and the air was filled with happiness. Grace decided to tell
Nora the truth today. No matter what the result was, she wanted to know to untie the knots in her heart.
Nora hummed a tune and walked to the bathroom, mixed with the sound of water. The tune she
hummed was partly hidden and partly visible, but it was really intoxicating. It seemed that she was in a
very good mood. Grace wanted to break the secret in her heart by beating the fire.
"Come here, Nora," said Grace, pretending to flirt with her.
"What's wrong, Grace? Just say it. Don't be so weird. I can't stand it, because I'm not a man." After
saying that, Nora couldn't help laughing.
"Let's sleep together tonight. I have something to ask you. You must tell me the truth. I don't want our
conversation to affect Hugh's sleep."
"Well, it's up to you. I'll belong to you tonight." After saying that, Nora went to dry her hair. Her hair was
still wet. How could she sleep!
Grace was lying on the bed. She was wondering how to ask? Just as she was thinking about it, Nora
came. They hasn't been together for a long time because of little Hugh. Nora's whole mind was on little
Hugh, and she has no time to accompany Grace.
"What's going on between you and Murphy? Last time he came here, he seemed not to know me. He
was famous. Did he look down upon his old friend? The three of us used to be good friends. Now that
Murphy has become famous, he is arrogant. How snobbish he is! I have also underestimated him".
After saying that, Grace looked at Nora.
Nora said, "I don't know him either." It made Grace confused, "What did you mean? Don't you know
him? If you don't know him, why do you ask him to send little Hugh to the hospital? At this time, Nora
also felt that what she said was inappropriate. She quickly said, "I don't mean that. Alas! I can't explain
it clearly. I mean, he doesn't know me either. Do you understand?" Grace was even more confused, not
knowing what was going on.
Nora continued, "When he saw me, he acted as if he didn't know me. I don't know if he was pretending
or not. I don't know what kind of plot he has."
"Oh, I see. Does he want to revenge on you for your ruthless departure?" Grace murmured.
Nora said, "I don't want to think about it anymore. I don't know what's going on. It seems that Murphy is
not the same as before." Grace said, "Of course not. Who is he now? He is a super star now, can he
still recognize us?"
That was not what Nora meant, but she didn't know what it meant, so she didn't explain to Grace. As
time went by, she would find out something unknown about Murphy. Although she didn't know what
was going on now, the truth would come out sooner or later.
Sitting in front of the computer, Murphy looked through the advertising endorsement movie he had shot,
Nora sat beside him and quietly drew the schedule of these days. After all, she had been with him for
four years before, and she was in charge of him like a leader. All his habits, including daily life, she
would arrange them perfectly.
Murphy looked at her in this way. This feeling was familiar to him, but it was so strange to sit in front of
him.
Murphy was lost in thought. Was this feeling like written on a book? 'Did I know her in my previous life?
That's why I feel this way in my life? '.
Thinking of this, he felt it was funny. Don't be superstitious. In this world, this society, where comes the
last life, the next life? There is only this life.
He came back to reality soon and looked at the computer screen again. It seemed that he had found
something. There was a file that hadn't been sent over, and it was still in Ryan's place. It was not
something very important or needed immediately. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
He wanted to say something to Nora, but didn't know what to say.
Taking this opportunity, he said, "Nora, go to Ryan's office and bring me the document that hasn't been
uploaded."
"I have. I'll pass it on to you," said Nora.
Murphy said, "I want the original one."
There were only a few doors between the office of Murphy and the office of Ryan. In the blink of an
eye, Nora arrived at the door of Ryan's office. When she was about to knock on the door, she heard a
woman's smirk. The voice sounded familiar. Oh, it turned out to be Laquisha. What was she doing in
the office of Ryan?
