I've Been There Before

“Grace, you are so funny. Do you still think you are the Miss James in the past? And I have to answer whenever you ask? Haha.”

Grace couldn’t argue with what Celina said, because it was a fact.

She followed them out of the car, but stopped her steps suddenly.

“Why did you stop?” Celina turned around and peeked at the woman who suddenly stopped. Her delicate brows frowned...She was still not used to the Grace like this. But then she thought about something else...and it occurred to her that this was what she should look like. She stopped being the Miss James in the past a long time ago. Now she was just a slut in Royal Club who earned her living by selling smiles.

Celina smiled lightly, and withdrew her eyes set on Grace...The Grace now was not worth of her sight. She was just a coward woman living in gut like a mouse. This woman would never be the Grace James in the past again.

From now on, no one would compare her to Grace.

“There was... a party already going on.” Grace said.

After hearing this, Celina laughed, “Grace, are you really that naïve to believe we will throw a party just for you today? A party going on is not strange at all.” Then her face changed instantly, “Are you going in or not?”

While saying this, she started playing her phone in front of Grace with one hand.

What she meant was clear: If you didn’t go in, I would be angry. And if I got angry, I would send out the video.

Under the streetlamps, Grace’s face looked as pale as that of a ghost. She took a deep breath and said, “Yes.” She continued to squeeze out four words, “I will go in!”

“Do you still remember this place?” Celina smiled and walked near Grace, “I still remember, at the night of your eighteenth birthday, you stood here and screamed out a sentence in front of all young masters and ladies from top families of S City. Grace, what is it again?”

“Oh! When people get older, their memories worsen. Now that you are here again, why don’t you scream that sentence one more time?”
