The sky gradually darkened.
In the cold, empty restroom on the third floor of the office area, no one was there.
Enna Clark curled up in the last stall, her face showing an unnatural flush. Her soaked clothes had dried, and she hugged her knees and wrapped herself up. Her hoarse voice barely audible, “Is anyone there…is anyone around?”
Wind poured in through the skylight.
Enna bit her lip in the cold.
Her eyes reddened as she held back her grievances, supported her weak body, and knocked on the door with a determined hand. “Is anyone there…”
“Can anyone hear me?”
Enna seemed dazed, mechanically knocking on the door with her left hand, trying to make as much noise as possible. Her mind was hazy, and she started to think wildly— It’s so late, I don’t know if Bobby went home or not?
If she didn’t pick him up, would the kindergarten teacher send him home?
Given his personality, he would probably call her. If he found out no one answered, Bobby would probably get mad again.
Thinking of the little guy’s angry and proud look, Enna amused herself with a bitter smile. For a moment, her heart felt an unbearable pain.
Where is Baron Lawrence now?
Her eyes dimmed, and she silently pursed her lips.
He probably won’t return to Sereriva Residential Complex. Maybe he is attending a social engagement or has gone back to his lavish mansion.
Enna tried to suppress the indescribable bitterness deep in her heart, forcing herself to cast aside these jumbled emotions and concentrate on knocking on the door again.
“Is anyone there… is anyone around?”
She didn’t know how long it had been, but just when she was about to give up— There were sudden footsteps outside.
Enna’s body trembled like she saw a lifeline in a desperate situation. She didn’t know where the strength came from, but she screamed, “There’s someone here! Let me out!” “President Lawrence, there’s someone talking in here!”
“There’s someone inside!”
Then, the rushed footsteps approached.
A deep, hoarse male voice shouted urgently, “Enna Clark, is that you in there?”
Enna was momentarily dazed.
The restroom door was kicked open from the outside with a loud bang!
The flashlight beam shone directly on her face. Enna instinctively raised her hand to block her eyes, but she couldn’t bear to take her gaze off the man who had come to her rescue. She called out timidly, “Baron Lawrence?”
Baron Lawrence didn’t expect that in just a few hours, this woman would be tormented !
He looked at Enna, who was huddled in the corner, her delicate face flushed and ravaged. His chest felt as if it had been punched hard, his noble phoenix eyes narrowed, and a sudden urge to kill welled up!
“President Lawrence, do you want to call Emergency Medical Services?” someone asked.
Baron Lawrence didn’t even glance at him as he strode towards Enna with an emotionless face. Under the stunned gazes of those around him, he bent down and embraced the disheveled woman in his arms. His handsome face was heavy, almost murderous, yet his voice was incredibly gentle as he comforted the person in his arms, “It’s okay, Enna, it’s okay now. I’m here.”
Enna’s nose felt sour, and all her strength was shattered in an instant. All her grievances, fears, helplessness, and bewilderment erupted in that moment. She whimpered, clutching the man’s lapel tightly and bursting into tears..
