the slender, metallic glowing utility knife in his hand. When did he get the knife? Next to her, Mr.
Slinger saw it and couldn't help but laugh, "I didn't expect that Mr. Stebbing's assistant has such a
strong personality!â Someone laughed and echoed, "A paragon of chastity!" At once, the group
burst into laughter. With anger rising in her heart, Lucia felt like she was about to explode. At this'®
point, she was alone and helpless. "You're too nervous, girl. Let me help you cool down!" The
woman in the red dress suddenly came up and shook her hand holding the wine glass. The liquid in
the glass splashed directly onto Lucia's chest." ®
Before she could react, the men in the room started laughing.'®
When she looked down, she saw that the red wine had already soaked part of ®
the clothes around her chest, and the white fabric was nearly transparent as it was faintly visible.
"You guys are going too far!" Lucia hurriedly raised her hand to was far more horrifying than she
could have
imagined!"
Mr. Slingers eyes were lustful as he looked back and forth at her chest. "Have some drinks with us,
Lucia. If you do it, no one will touch you. Why do you have to make things difficult for yourself?"
"Right! Come and have some drinks!" Lucia took a few steps back in a row. Her face turned pale
with fear as she watched Mr. Slinger approaching her.â
When she was about to be cornered by them, Lucia suddenly saw a small restroom inside the
private room and without thinking about it, she dived straight in"
After quickly locking the door behind her, she pr'hssed against the door and her heart was
pounding. "Bang! Bang!" "Look how scared she is. She's even ducked in there!"
Outside the door was a cacophony of noise, mixed with the laughter of men'®
and women. At that moment, Lucia felt like she was about to explode.â
"Never mind her! Let's go on and drink. We can get the manager to come overâ
later with the key and open the door!â¢
Hearing the voice outside the door, Lucia was so scared that she immediately"
took out her phone and made a call!
At this point, she could only ask August to come to her rescue!
He said she could call him if anything happened! The phone was connected, but no one but no one
answered!"
Lucia's hands were trembling. She called again, but no one answered in theâ end. After calling the
third time in a row, Lucia lost all the hope she had had! She had thought that he could be counted
on! She had expected him to answer the phone immediately! But that was not the case.'®
Stuck in this small restroom, Lucia was overcome with fear and got gooseflesh as she listened to the
sound of laughter coming from outside, because she knew that once the manager came over with
the key, she would have no place to hide.'®
Lucia couldn't help but shiver. She felt a bit disappointed as she looked at the three unanswered
calls on the screen. When her eyes moved down and she saw Paula's number, she didn't have time
to think that much and called it directly. At this point, she really has no one else to turn to. The
phone was answered after two rings. The moment Paula's voice came through, Lucia was almost on
the verge of tears.'® "Where are you, Lucia?â Lucia's voice carried an imperceptible tremor. "Paula...
help me..." The girl at the other end paused noticeably and then reacted. "Where are you, Lucia?
What's going on?" Lucia lowered her voice, afraid to be heard by those outside. "The company's
Vice President asked me out for a drinking party. They... want me to drink with them. I have no
choice but to hide in the restroom. I don't dare to go out now..." Before Lucia told her the whole
story, Paula at the other end had alreadyâ
Don't be afraid, Lucia. Where are you? I'm coming to get you!" "Room 606 at the Time
As a girl, Paula wouldn't manage to save Lucia, but she'd be in trouble if sheâ
rushed over alone.!
When Paula heard that at the other end, she frowned and quickly said, "I know. Don't worry!" With
that, she hung up the phone straight away.â
At this moment, her brother Paul was out of town, not in Austos City, and she had just come back
from abroad, so she hadn't had a chance to get together with her friends. It seemed that this time,
she had to ask him for help!"
Paula felt in her pocket and pulled out a business card. She called him directly.â
"Hello, Burton. Here is the first thing I need you to do. Help Lucia! Go to the'®
Time Club now!" Lucia hid in the cramped restroom, with a chill running through her
Those outside were having
It had been nearly twenty minutes since she called Paula
round after round of wine, and the sounds of them were loud and" small Suddenly, footsteps came
from outside the door, followed by the sound of banging on the door! Open the door! I need to use
the toilet!" Lucia's body shook when she heard it was Mr. Slinger's voice. There was a lot of laughter
outside, and someone said, "Look how you've scared the girl. Now you can't even use the toilet. It's
really your own fault! "That's right! Haha, shall we ask the manager to come with the key?" Mr.
Slinger, who had been teased, snorted coldly and seemed a bit impatient,â
saying in a deep voice, Hurry up and get the manager here! I can't help it!"
Inside the door, Lucia held the handle tightly and her heart was thumping. Sheâ guessed that in a few minutes, the manager would come. âBang! Bang! Bang!"
âOpen the door now! Mi. Singer's voice came from outside the door, with a bit of impatience. Sooner or later, itl have to be opened! You can't escape
anyway!â ®
Outside the door, Mr. Singer had waited for a while. Anxiousy, he lifted his foot to kick the door and cursed.'®
Soon, a voice suddenly came. âThe manager is here!"
Then there was a jumble of footsteps and the clattering of keys. Lucia took a deep braath and her grip on the handle slowly tightened. "Sorry to keep you
wating. I1l open the door now!" With that, the manager
found the key and opened the door, Lucia gritted her teeth and gripped the handle inside, refusing to let it go. Outside, Mr. Slinger pulled the door. When he
failed to open ithe couldn't help but curse, âDamn, I won't et you get away with i" With that he pulled the door handle hard. In the end, Lucia was no
match for a man in strength and the door was pulled open with a cick ®
Lucia looked at Mr. Singer and the manager standing at the door, feeling a chil down cal the police! âCall the police? Just go ahead!â Mr. Singer rampantly
approached her, grabbed her arm and yanked her out, The two women who had been drinking vith the men came over before Luci knew it With Lucia
between them, they reached out their hands and pushed her, echoing, "Ga ahead! Call the police!â Lucia gritted her teeth. Before she could stand steadily, she
was pushed again. She fell all the way onto the couch. Just then, the door banged. A sharp, angry voice came. "Stop it all of you!" ®
