"Y-you dare to slap me?!"
"Yeah, why? You're the one who—"
"Hey, hey, you guys. I know you fight a lot, but please look at the place. Now we're getting a lot of attention," one of the men whispered with a bitter smile, very good at acting.
Natalie frowned, surprised. She began to realize what the man said was true. Because the action of slapping him made people watch them while whispering.
"Da—darling, I'm sorry, okay? I'll be even better," the man said who was the victim of Natalie's slap, again holding her hand. Natalie quickly brushed him off, looking both angry and disgusted at being touched by a perverted and manipulative man.
"Don't act, you're all bad actors. Joy, wake up! We have to go back to the room," Natalie exclaimed, trying to grab Joy's hand, who was unconscious and was being held by a man who wasn't handsome at all. "If you keep holding us back, I'll call security here, damn it," Natalie hissed, unable to be gentle anymore. Especially after her ass was touched by one of those bastards.
Instead of being afraid, they laughed mockingly, causing Natalie to raise an eyebrow. But she said it seriously.
"Who do you think they're going to believe? You're new here, right?"
"Huh? What's wrong? This hotel has just opened too!"
"But we're not from the upper class like you, sweetie. We know the owner of this hotel, so you shouldn't mess around and enjoy what we provide," the man replied with a lopsided smile followed by his friends, who were still laughing lightly at Natalie. .
Natalie was still staring at him intently, clenching her fists tightly. Ready to bombard any of those bastards who would do something to her. One of the men who had been talking a while now stood up and walked over to Natalie.
"You're very pretty, it seems tonight you are the most pretty woman here," the man teased as he caressed Natalie's face. She was about to push his hand away but was immediately grabbed and held so tightly that Natalie couldn't let go. "How about we have some fun first? I promise. If you don't refuse, your friend will be fine."
Natalie glanced at Joy, who was still standing there without the slightest resistance. She was annoyed, if Joy didn't insist on coming and drinking alcohol, something like this definitely wouldn't have happened.
"Hey, don't touch that woman at all! Give her a seat next to you, Ollen," the man ordered, to which they immediately agreed, and he seemed to be the leader in the group of men. "How?" he asked, putting his attention back on Natalie with a slight grin.
"Where?" Natalie asked unexpectedly. "If my friend is being harassed by your friends, I will not stay silent."
The man raised his eyebrows, his grin grew wider, and he then invited Natalie to get out of there. "Follow me."
Natalie looked back, making sure that Joy would be okay. Although she was very disgusted that her arm was still being held by this madman. Natalie admitted, compared to the other men at the table earlier, his face was a little more handsome, although it couldn't beat Nicholas' handsomeness.
"Don't go too fast, my feet hurt," Natalie said, slowing her pace a little and acting like she was holding her feet, which were wearing heels. And it worked, the man agreed to Natalie's request.
"Sorry, sorry. We'll be there in a minute."
"May I know your name?" Natalie asked.
"Huh? If I told you my name, would you do the same?"
"My name is Leona, and you?" Natalie deliberately lied about her real name, because she was not allowed to reveal her real identity to unknown and suspicious strangers.
"Gary," he answered simply.
"Ugh, hold on. I can't stand wearing heels anymore," Natalie said, wincing in pain as she crouched down a little to remove the two nude heels. Luckily, Gary didn't mind that, even though he looked annoyed, he couldn't wait to have fun with Natalie.
"Already? The room's over there, come on. We don't have much time," Gary said, pulling Natalie's arm again.
Natalie's heart was beating fast, she was not a stupid woman who didn't know what to do with this strange man in a room alone. Of course, they will have sex. What else apart from that? Play chess? It's gone crazy!
Gary let go of Natalie's grip for a moment as he had to reach for his access card. And this was the woman's chance to escape. Running as fast as lightning she ran away from Gary, regardless of the screams from the man, Natalie kept running while carrying her two heels.
"Fuck! Stop right now!" Gary shouted, increasing his running speed. Natalie was shocked that Gary was so close and almost managed to catch her. Without thinking, the woman threw one heel hard and managed to hit Gary right in the man's face.
"Yes!" Natalie exclaimed for making Gary had to stop chasing her because of the toss of the heels. Finally, she returned to the bar with more diners. She was panting for breath and occasionally looked back for fear that Gary would chase after her again.
Natalie's eyes were rounded perfectly when she saw Joy being groped by those scumbags. With her hand still holding her heels, she walked quickly to the table to save Joy. She was determined to hit them one by one using the remaining heels.
However, unlucky. Because she was too focused on one point, Natalie didn't realize she had collided with someone until she lost her balance and almost fell backwards if it hadn't been for strong arms to catch her.
"Are you okay?" someone asked, pulling Natalie's hand back to her feet.
"Th-thank you," Natalie said guiltily. She slightly tidied up her messy clothes due to what she had experienced tonight because of her friend's actions. She didn't pay attention to who had just helped her because she needed to help Joy right away.
"Are your shoes missing, Miss?" The man asked again and had not left Natalie's presence.
"Oh, yeah. I did it on purpose—" Natalie couldn't continue after she looked at the person. Their gazes met and only once looked focused, Natalie gaped in disbelief that the person who had just helped her resembled the owner of the Zeus the Lorax account aka Nicholas!
