Mavis was seething with anger at his words. She was appalled by the fact that he wanted to accompany her to the ladies’ room. The shameless man!
Bruce ignored her protests and death glares, and dragged her forward.
As she was being dragged, Mavis missed a step and stumbled directly in front of a man, her teeth narrowly missing his feet. She sure had a lot of bad luck.
As Mavis lifted her head to meet the cold gaze of the owner of the shoes, her flushed cheeks brushed against the man’s suit pants.
Mavis stopped breathing in that second. Could this get any worse?

“Mavis!” Harlan muttered in a daze.
The woman he had been looking for just fell under his feet. He didn’t know how he felt at the moment.
At first, he just wanted to kill her. But after she disappeared, her face appeared in his mind at weird times, especially when he felt lonely.
“Harlan,” Mavis equally called, writhing on the floor like an insect.
She was struggling to get up, but the rope was making it difficult.
Surely she couldn’t get more embarrassed than this.
Harlan squinted down at her and noticed the rope tied on her hands.
He followed the rope and saw Bruce standing just a meter away. He knitted his eyebrows in confusion.
Bruce returned his look with a sneer and said, “Mavis, it seems that your tongue is the only active thing you have. Can’t you move your Limbs and get up?”

Mavis turned her head, her eyes burning with the desire to kill Bruce. How could he be so cruel?
Bruce ignored her and smiled at Harlan.
“Harlan, do you know that this woman has feelings for you?”
Harlan pursed his lips and helped Mavis up. His gaze lingered on her tied wrists. The rope had rubbed her skin until it was red.
“Bruce, what gare you playing at?”
“You hurt many of my subordinates last time. The least I could do was find someone to take out my anger on,” Bruce casually said with a shrug.
Harlan extinguished his cigarette in a close ashtray before asking, “Why her?”
Bruce grinned slightly, feeling the fire building within Harlan.
“Simple; because she has feelings for you, and you don’t have feelings for anyone. So I guessed that someone who had feelings for you might have sconnection to you at least. I had to give it a shot, you know.”
