I've Been There Before

Chapter 28 Mr. Lo

Grace recuperated in the hospital, but she was not at ease.

"Why are you come back?" Gloria didn't expect that she would see Grace in Royal Club tonight, "You are not well yet."

"Gloria, it's OK. I've had enough rest." Grace had been thinking about her debt, "Gloria, I'm really well. Can I... Please, Gloria, can you get me an assignment? I can do anything."

"You...' Gloria looked at Grace who was humble and stubborn, and couldn't open her mouth to refuse her.

She sighed, "OK, I'll go and have a look."

“Gloria.” Grace said to Gloria as she was about to leave the room, "Gloria, thank you so much.” And then, she lowered her head quickly.

Gloria was confused. Did she mistake it that Grace blushed? ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Grace blushed?

But why did she blush? What Gloria had done was no trouble at all.

She was such a humble and frightened person that she blushed and thanked nervously for this little thing.

What did Mr. Shaw do to this silly woman!

Gloria answered vaguely. She didn’t dare to look at this stupid woman anymore. This woman's inferiority seemed to be brought from the bottom of her heart. The more humble Grace was, the more afraid Gloria was to look at her.

She should be a great person, not like this.

After a while, Gloria came back, "Follow me."

"OK."

As usual, Grace never asked more.

Gloria felt even more uncomfortable. But Grace's words haunted her again, "Gloria, my life is cheap. It isn't worth a dime." Gloria sighed silently, took Grace into the elevator and explained the situation to Grace.

"You don't have to be afraid later. Mr. Lo has always been secretive. You know the Lo Group, right? Today, our guest is the president of the company. Mr. Lo returned to China two years ago, and then, in just two years, he became the leader of the Lo Group. But you don't have to worry.

Although he is mysterious, there are rumors that he actually likes men. So, you don't have to be afraid. Later, not only you but also other members of the Public Relations Department will go to the room. So, you can stand in the middle of the other people and pour the wine.”

The Lo Group ? Grace was stunned. Three years ago, she was still the daughter of the James family. As a rich and noble person of the Pearl City, she certainly knew the company.

She was a little afraid to face the rich people who she used to play with. Now when facing that group of people, she has nothing left.

Fortunately, Gloria said Mr. Lo returned home two years ago.

Grace was relieved. Gloria said that Mr. Lo is homosexual. Why did he come to the Royal Club and ask the hostess to serve? Grace was puzzled, but she didn't ask.

Grace stood outside the private room and then pushed the door in. Seeing the scene in the room, Grace suddenly understood that Mr. Lo was entertaining customers at the Royal Club.

In the room, there were several members of the Public Relations Department and only two male members.

Gloria watched Grace enter the room in a complex mood. She wanted to help the silly woman, but she could only help the silly woman in this way.

She wished this silly woman would be free and out of trouble one day.

God shouldn't be so cruel to her.

When Grace came in, the atmosphere there was good.

She came in quietly, lowered her head, and then stood quietly aside. She was so low-key that she didn't seem to have any sense of presence. As Gloria said, she just poured the wine.

In the dim light, she was shaking. Although no one could see her, she was shivering.

She just lowered her head. In the corner, she suddenly became panicked. Why were those people here?

She tried to reduce her sense of presence, and she tried to turn herself into air. Now, she would rather be the air.

Why were they here?

Grace subconsciously moved slowly towards a place where she thought she would be safe. Here, the safest place was next to Mr. Lo.

"You are shaking."

She suddenly heard a very gentle voice. It was not very loud, but it was a real shock to Grace.

There was already a layer of sweat on her forehead. Grace didn't dare to speak aloud, "Mr. Lo, maybe the air conditioner is too cold. I'll pour wine for you.”

She slowly approached Mr. Lo, then squatted down, lowered her head, and poured him a drink without saying a word.

The glass was full, but Mr. Lo didn't raise his glass.

Mr. Lo just looked at the woman beside him with a meaningful look, "There are so many people in this room, so how do you know that I am Mr. Lo?"

Grace's face suddenly turned pale. Yes, she shouldn't have known that this person was ‘Mr. Lo’, unless...

"Do you know the others in this room?" Mr. Lo asked her gently. Although he wore gold-rimmed glasses, it reflected his sharp eyes.

"I... I just guess." Grace had disordered breathing. She couldn't imagine what her result would be if she didn’t muddle through this time and if she was recognized by those people.

"Mr. Lo, I just guess.”

As time went by, Mr. Lo still looked at her, which made her feel terrible.

"Mr. Lo, what happens to you? Why don't you drink?" Even after three years, Grace was still familiar with the voice.

What should she do?

What should she do?

Once Mr. Lo mentioned her, she couldn't escape.

Three years later, when facing her former playmates and pursuers, her situation was too terrible now!

What should she do?

Grace was in a panic. She was squatting at the feet of the strange man. She grabbed Mr. Lo’s trousers unconsciously. She grabbed his trousers like it was her only hope.

Mr. Lo lowered his eyes and caught a glimpse of the woman who was squatting at the feet of him. He was stunned for a moment, and the impatience in his eyes disappeared. He leaned forward slightly, reached for the glass on the crystal table, drank it, and looked up at the others with a chuckle.

"It's OK." Then he suddenly stood up and reached for the woman who was squatting down.

Grace didn't have time to react. She just felt she was being pulled up. When she opened her eyes again, she found that she had been pulled up by Mr. Lo, with her face on his chest.

Then she heard the gentle voice of Mr. Lo.

"Everybody, have a good time. It's my treat tonight." After that, he walked out of the room with Grace in his arms.

Several people in the room showed meaningful expressions.

Then, someone said, "People say that Mr. Lo is homosexual. That's not true. That's a rumor. Ha! Hal"

"Mr. Lo, a beautiful night is short. Have a good time.” In the confusion and uproar, Grace was held out of the room by Mr. Lo. The door behind her was gently closed.
