Chapter 27
Ike’s words and movements became more and more indecent. At the same time, Natalie just wanted to take off her shoes and beat Ike up.
She knew that if she stayed here, she’d be in great danger.
“Excuse me, Mr. Lyman. I seem to have consumed too much water. I need to go to the ladies’ room. I’ll be right back.” Gritting her teeth, Natalie forced a smile.
“Okay. Don’t take too long. You still have to serve me.” Ike reached out his hand and touched the side of Natalie’s face. Then, he stuck his face to her neck and sniffed. A small, satisfied sound escaped his throat. “You smell so good.”
Natalie pushed him away, grabbed her purse, and ran out of the room. She rushed to the elevators and pushed the down button.
It didn’t matter to her anymore if she lost her job. Her life was more important.
She didn’t have much experience and thought things too simply. She didn’t expect that Ike, who seemed to be a decent person, would be such a lascivious man.
She shouldn’t have gone with him tonight.
Finally, the elevator doors whirred open. When Natalie was about to step in, somebody suddenly grabbed her from behind.
“Let’s go to the bathroom together, and then let’s have sex right inside the bathroom stall. How’d you like that?” Ike reeked of alcohol. He leaned his head on Natalie’s shoulder and rubbed up against her.
“You bastard! Get away from me!”
Even though already nauseated, Natalie desperately struggled to break free from Ike.
But she was too thin and weak to overpower such a strong, albeit intoxicated, man.
Ike locked Natalie in a tight embrace. “Don’t be so stubborn. Many women in the company have slept with me. And the day after, they went right back to work. Some of them even got promoted and got a raise. They had it easy. All they did was go to bed with me.”
As he spoke, he dragged her into an empty room nearby.
“Help! Help! He’s trying to rape me!”
Natalie grasped the door frame and shouted desperately.
Ike held her waist tightly and dragged her into the room. Despite struggling with all her might, helpless tears rolled down her cheeks.
She kept shouting until her voice grew hoarse. However, no one responded to her pleas.
Then, a flicker of hope ignited in her heart when she caught a glimpse of a waiter pushing a dining cart down the corridor in the distance.
Hoping against hope that the waiter could help her, she shouted with all of her might, “Help! This man’s trying to rape me! Please help me! Call the police! Please!”
The waiter paused and glanced at her as she called to him desperately. However, his eyes were cold, and he then proceeded to walk away as though he hadn’t seen or heard anything, disappearing behind the corner of the corridor. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
“Shut up already. People here won’t meddle in our business even if they see it. After all, they’ve seen too much of it. So be a good girl and do as I say. Maybe I’ll even be nice to you later.” As Ike spoke, he
eyed Natalie’s exposed waist hungrily. He couldn’t wait to kiss her bare skin.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a heavy blow to his face and he fell backwards onto the floor.
Ike was shocked. His face stung and, as the taste of metallic blood filled his mouth, he could tell that one of his teeth was broken.
“What the fuck? How dare you hit me?!”
Ike spat out the loose tooth and a mouthful of blood. Touching his stinging cheek gingerly, he flew into a rage.
When he turned to look at the perpetrator, his eyes met that of a fierce man standing over him. The tall, burly man was wearing a black jacket and a black cap. Beneath his cap, his eyes gleamed coldly.
“Sebastian!” Wiping her teary eyes, Natalie rushed to Sebastian as though she had seen her savior.
Sebastian met her halfway and stepped in front of her protectively. He took the black cap off of his head and put it on hers. Then, he wiped her tear-stained cheeks with his thumbs and said through gritted teeth, “Get out of here. Now.”
“Damn it! Fuck you, you bastard!” Ike angrily got to his feet. With clenched fists, he rushed towards Sebastian in a fit of rage.
But before he could land a blow, Sebastian caught Ike’s fist and twisted it, forcing Ike to the ground. It was like subduing a weak chicken. With dark eyes, Sebastian raised his own fist to punch the despicable Ike’s face.
Sebastian was a force to be reckoned with. After all, he was born ruthless and cruel.
Ike was beaten to a pulp. When Sebastian was done, Ike couldn’t get up. Two or three of his teeth were knocked out, and blood flowed freely from his nose. Finally, he shrieked, “Let go of me! Please! Someone, help! He’s trying to kill me!”
It wasn’t until Ike’s voice went hoarse that Sebastian finally straightened his clothes and stood up. But he wasn’t done yet. He kicked Ike’s dick and spat coldly, “Do something like this again and I’ll cut your balls off.”
Ike immediately crumpled and rolled on the ground, screaming in pain loudly.
It took a while for him to recover. He quickly retreated a safe distance, like a cornered dog.
While he didn’t dare to attack Sebastian again, he still had the audacity to spit at Sebastian. “Who are you? How dare you meddle in other people’s business?”
Sebastian calmly walked up to Natalie and put his arm on her shoulder. To Ike, he held his chin up high and said coldly, “I’m her husband.”
Trembling like a leaf, Ike stood up, gnashed his teeth, and pointed at Sebastian. “This isn’t over! I won’t rest until you’re behind bars!”
Then his pointing finger shifted to Natalie. “And you! Don’t even think about coming back to the Larson Group. I’ll make sure you’re banned from the whole industry, bitch!”
Sebastian sneered, sending shivers down Ike’s spine.
“Is that so? I guess we’ll have to wait and see.”
At this point, he didn’t want to waste his breath with Ike anymore. So, with his arm around Natalie’s shoulder, he turned around and left along with her.
Sebastian led Natalie into the elevator.
She kept her head down and her hands were clasped tightly together. She was still trembling. Her breathing was also faster than normal.
All of a sudden, Sebastian lifted the black cap he put on her head.
Natalie looked up in a panic. Warm tears had already welled in her eyes. Her long lashes were wet and shiny. This made her look pitiful and beautiful at the same time.
“Are you hurt?” A faint gleam of pity flickered in his eyes as he checked her body.
He pinched her cheeks and stared at them for a while. Next, he reached down to lift her clothes with the intention of checking her waist.
Natalie quickly held her clothes down with both hands. Her face flushed and she shifted uneasily. “Please don’t do that. I’m fine. Don’t worry about me,” she said in a low voice.
Afterward, she kept silent again. She looked so depressed with her head lowered.
Sebastian sensed her uneasiness and fright. To put her at ease, he wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged her tightly.
Her waist was so slim that his long arms circled it comfortably.
“Don’t be afraid. I promise to protect you from that pervert from now on. No harm would come to you,” he said assuredly after sighing deeply.
His doting voice took Natalie by surprise. She raised her head to look at him. With her eyebrows slightly furrowed, she commented, “I’m not unhappy because I almost got raped today. There’s something else on my mind.”
