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, âIs anyone thereâ¦is anyone around?â
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. âIs anyone thereâ¦â
âCan anyone hear me?â
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 wildlyâ Itâs so late, I donât know if Bobby went home or not?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
If she didnât 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 guyâs 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 wonât 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.
âIs anyone there⦠is anyone around?â
âThump thump!â
She didnât know how long it had been, but just when she was about to give upâ There were sudden footsteps outside.
Ennaâs body trembled like she saw a lifeline in a desperate situation. She didnât know where the strength came from, but she screamed, âThereâs someone here! Let me out!â âPresident Lawrence, thereâs someone talking in here!â
âOver here.â
âThereâs someone inside!â
Then, the rushed footsteps approached.
A deep, hoarse male voice shouted urgently, âEnna Clark, is that you in there?â
This voice wasâ¦
Enna was momentarily dazed.
Just thenâ
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 couldnât bear to take her gaze off the man who had come to her rescue. She called out timidly, âBaron Lawrence?â
Baron Lawrence didnât expect that in just a few hours, this woman would be tormented like this!
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!
âPresident Lawrence, do you want to call Emergency Medical Services?â someone asked.
Baron Lawrence didnât 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, âItâs okay, Enna, itâs okay now. Iâm here.â
Ennaâs 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 manâs lapel tightly and bursting into tears..
