Anna ignored his gaze that was making her uncomfortable, then said with a smile, "Paul, if you don't mind, I'll play one round for you. I'll handle the losses if I lose, but if I win, the money will be yours."
Paul smiled with satisfaction, and instinctively placed his hand on the back of Anna's chair.
Paul asked, "Darling, why did you and Richard Fuller break up?."
Anna's fingers were slender and fair, so he moved his chair closer to hers and placed his hand on top of hers. "I will talk with Mr Yancey about your situation."
Anna wanted to withdraw her hand, but Paul held on tightly. "But you have to coax me with your body."
Anna forcefully pulled her hand out, then moved her chair before saying in a cold tone, "Paul, Please have some respect."
Anna had barely walked a couple of steps when Paul hugged her from behind. "Anna, you don't have any money. It's only a matter of time before you go bankrupt."
"Let go of her!."
Anna looked up, she saw the tall figure on the door.
Sean walked straight to Paul. And to Paul's surprise, he wasn't able to react quickly when his body made contact with the floor.
Sean kicked Paul on his stomach using his right foot, and no one could dare to help him. Now, Paul lay flat on the floor, still surprised by what just happened.
"What is your problem!?" Paul shouted. He attempted to look fierce despite the pain he felt in his body and a bit of fear forming inside his chest.
"Mr Wesley!" Anna quickly pulled Sean away from Paul. Anna lost her mind for seconds, what she saw shocked her.
When Paul comes back to his senses, he attempts to get up. "You are fu*k*ng crazy! Did you sleep with her?." Paul's voice is echoing in that room.
Before Paul balanced himself he received another kick from Sean. This time, Sean steps on his chest, pressing him onto the floor.
Helpless, Paul wanted to scream at his friends to help him. But his friends didn't even dare to watch the scene but turned their heads in different directions.
"Stop it," Anna begs Sean, pulling his arm. But Sean was like a huge rock; she cannot move. "Sean..." Anna pulled him away from Paul again.
"Anna...You better pay back my money." Paul sat up, his one hand reached for his sides, while the other one was on his throat.
"You bastard! I will pay back your money. So, Don't ever show your disgusted face in front of me." Sean pulled Anna by the hand and said, "Let's go" as he led her out of the room.
Anna's heart skipped a beat when Sean grabbed her hand and said, "Let's go" Those words kept resounding in her head.
She lowered her eyes to his hand, holding hers while he gently led her out of the elevator. She felt like breaking free from his hold, but something kept her in place as she obediently let him lead her out.
"What are you guys doing?" Paul moved his eyes toward his friends, glaring sharply. It annoys him that his friends did nothing to help him.
"Hey! Are you alright? Should I call the doctor for you?" Neil looked at him in displeasure.
"Shut your mouth! Who is that sh*t?" Paul's face turned red in anger.
"Don't you know him? He is a Judo gold medalist, Sean Wesley. Is he Anna Hart's new boyfriend?" Neil chuckled.
"So what? It is three of us. That crap will turn into a pulp." Paul spat through her gritted teeth.
"Tomorrow is my Grandma's birthday. I can't go there with my face coated with black and blue. Just let go! It's good that he will pay back your money." Chris asserted.

Sasha was walking on the streets when she heard someone calling her name.
It was James. He ran up to her panting and raised his hand to stop her in her tracks. "Hi! I am waiting for you. Have dinner with me," James said.
"Huh...?" Sasha raised her hand to check the time.
"Come on let's go" He said pulling on her arm as she slide into the taxi.
James took Sasha to a famous restaurant. James smiled sheepishly at Sasha like a clown.
Seated facing a table of delicious dishes, Sasha did not have much appetite. She was low in spirits after taking a few mouthfuls.
Even so, James continued to scoop food for her.
"Why are you taking so little?" James knitted his brows. "I just wanted to treat you out for the last time" He added.
Sasha's brows scrunched up. "Last time? "What do you mean by that?" Sasha asked.
A sad smile appeared on his face as he looked at her, "Yes, I am leaving tomorrow." Looking at her speechless expression, James could not help but smile. "But you would still pick up my phone, right?"
Sasha pushed a warm smile, "Of course. Call me anytime."
