I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden)

The door of the elevator opened again. Grace simply stepped out of the elevator while ignoring Payne, but she was stopped by her brother, “No, Grace, you can’t go. Just hide yourself.”

“Mr. James, could you please let go of me. I have something else to deal with.”

“No, Grace, you will be spotted by them if you go out. Walter and his friends are having a party together in the club.” Payne pulled Grace back into the elevator, “Grace, you don’t want to appear in front of your old friends in such an embarrassing situation, right?”

Grace seemed to be out of breath. What Payne said directly pierced her heart. He was right. Grace dared not to meet her old friends in such an abject situation.

She reached out her head to press the key to close the door nervously.

“Well, Payne, it seemed that you have found your girl tonight. And you can’t wait that you even start to enjoy her in the elevator?” As Walter teased playfully, he reached his hand to stop the door from closing. Thus they door opened again.

Payne immediately hugged Grace tight and put her head into his arms, “Come on, Walter, stop making fun of me.” Then he slapped away Walter’s hand, who was about to touch Grace’s body, “Stop it, this girl is quite shy. You guys just go upstairs. I have already arranged a private box for all of you.”

While speaking, Payne still kept Grace’s face toward his arms and walked out of the elevator.

“Hey Payne, why not come with us?”

“I got some private issue to deal with. You guys just go to the box first. I will be right back. And today’s bill is on me. Have fun, guys.”

Ambiguous whistles in row could be heard from the elevator, “Guys, Payne said he got something private to deal with. Perhaps he gotta deal with the girl in his arms! Hahaha…It seems that Payne is getting more and more sophisticate in dealing with girls.”
