She didn't know what came to her but her feet just automatically moved to follow him, leaving James on the dance floor. James's eyes dimmed darkly as he watched Elle walking towards the glass door of the venue.

She ran to the direction where Erick went as she chased after him, removing her high heels in the process. She could hear his running footsteps just below her.
However, before she could close their distance, a strong arm already grabbed her, thus stopping her. The person was James who also followed her.
"Let Go of My Hand, Now!" she commanded him, feeling enraged.
