"You're dating," he stated.

On her way to Amirate Corporation, she received a call from Xander.
"Xander." She sounded upset.
Xander's voice was hoarse. "What's wrong? Why do you sound so upset?" Grace didn't want to bring up Benjamin, so she said, "It's nothing. I just encountered a setback." "Where are you?"
