Chapter 487 Promise

" Elise! My little girl, don\'t forget about big sister!"

" When did you graduate from auntie to big sister?"

" Shut up! Don\'t ruin our fun moment."

" I will remember sister Sun, don\'t worry."

" You are squeezing her too hard! You will smother her!"

Grace Generation members were meeting outside the Orphanage. It was already past their flight time, but since they were using Samuel\'s private plane, they could depart whenever they saw fit. It was something that Samuel regretted telling them as they were making a fuss so early in the morning.

" Sami, I will miss you. It was regrettable that we didn\'t get a chance to spend more time together." Soo-jin walked toward him, so Samuel shook his hand, but she lunged for a big hug.

" Yeah, me too." He was caught off guard for a second but returned her hug. She was taller than his shoulders, which made her completely bury her face inside his open chest. Samuel tried to peel her off of him as she was enjoying it, but she shocked him by pinching his butt in retaliation.

" Ooh, I think it\'s enough!" He put some force and successfully separated from the hungry woman. She had always been brazen, but doing such a thing in front of everyone was outrageous! He could feel her body heat just from hugging her, and from looking at her, he noticed she didn\'t wear anything under her long hoodie. Was it on purpose? Looking at her smile, that seemed to be the case!

" Sami! Do come to our concerts in the future. You were of great help to us." Seeing Ningning waiting for him next, he put his mind out of the gutter. She was not overly friendly like Soo-jin as they hugged each other lightly.

She was a little taller, so she quickly reached his cheeks by standing on her toes, which led her to give him a light peck that immediately made Soo-jin angry. Samuel stopped stressing about it; these girls seemed to have strange behaviors. Chances were they still treated him like a kid after he declared yesterday night not to treat him any differently due to his background.

Yoona was the most civilized; even though she was the youngest, she carried herself with dignity, unlike crazy Mi Sun and aggressive Soo-jin.

" I thought about something if time permits. I want to do some songs with you. It\'s not uncommon for us to release a few singles occasionally. I would love to work with you." She said with a serious face.

" Sure, I would love to. But I can\'t publicize my image; you must work with an unknown artist. Are you fine with that?" Samuel made things clear. If she wanted to use his fame, it would be impossible as he didn\'t want to expand further than an actor in the entertainment circle for now.

" That\'s even better; everyone would criticize our music based on your talent. You must give it your hundred percent to not embarrass me, right?" She said with a cheeky smile.

" You have a point." Samuel had been had; it looked like he couldn\'t deny her when the time came. There was no harm in helping her, so he agreed.

" Alright, everyone, we already loaded everything. Can we leave now? Everyone here is held up because you kept delaying." Manager Kim came back with Michelle and urged them to get going.

Girls were talking with Mayra and Kayla; their friendship was only blossoming. Samuel didn\'t know what happened yesterday night, but everyone spent the night talking, so they had dark circles under their eyes.

There were excellent facilities aboard Samuel\'s plane; it was easy to fall asleep in comfy beds, so Samuel didn\'t stop them from doing what they seemed fit.

It was good that they were making friends; usually, celebrities could not form genuine connections due to their fame, but that wasn\'t the case with Mayra and Kayla, who were highly detached from Korean culture and didn\'t care much about people\'s backgrounds.

" Okay, I am going." Mi Sun started carrying Elise out with her.

" Hey, leave her here! Are you trying to kidnap my girl!?" Kayla ran after her. Mi Sun started running around carrying Elise while Kayla began to chase her. It was adorable because Elise laughed and giggled, thinking they were playing with her.

" Stop!" Samuel grabbed their heads, making them stop on the spot.

" If you keep this up, I will ship both of you together without Elise! Now get going; it will still take an hour to reach the airport. Don\'t keep my men waiting!"

" Yes."

" Fine."

Manager Kim looked at Samuel with grateful eyes; it still took them a few more minutes of sobbing and crying before they finally left with heavy hearts. Everyone at the Orphanage gathered to bid them farewell. It was hard for kids to know if they would ever meet again, but that didn\'t stop them from sending them away with a smile.

Jumping into the large van, they hugged Samuel and others before they drove away. Samuel turned toward Steve and asked.

" Have you arranged it?"

" Yes, I have sent a few people waiting at the airport already. I am confident in their abilities; they will not fail your expectations." Steve said with resolution.

" Are you sure? Our enemy seemed to possess capabilities way beyond our expectations."

" We know how they operate now. Jane has already begun to study their technology."

" Alright, I will hold a meeting in a week to discuss it further. Meanwhile, tell her to keep the surveillance on our target."

" Yes, sir."

" Sami? Are you coming? We only have a few hours before we depart, too. We haven\'t even told Grandma about you."

" Yeah, I am coming. I was just talking with Steve to arrange a different private jet."

Samuel\'s plane was already used to transport Grace Generation members, so he needed to arrange a different plane for him and others. It would cost some money, but it was nothing but chump change for Samuel.

They went inside to say goodbye to Michelle and others and left the place to head home. It was then Kayla dropped a bombshell! It seemed like she would not be able to accompany them this time.
