"Shoot! He didn't hear what I said, did he?" Dawn Sutton recovered from her fright and suddenly realized a serious problem. In order to scare that man off, she had pretended Basil Jaak was her boyfriend. If he overheard her, would he think... Her cheeks flushed and then paled, reminiscent of a peach ripening but not quite ripe.
Basil Jaak, observing Dawn Sutton's expression, couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Miss Sutton, are you alright?"
"I'm... I'm fine," Dawn Sutton murmured, her head hung so low with embarrassment that she dared not meet Basil Jaak's eyes.
Walking side by side, Basil Jaak's lips curved into a slight smile as he said to Dawn Sutton, "I saw your call and came immediately. Luckily, I got here just in time, or the consequences could have been severe."
Dawn Sutton, still shaking a little, looked up at Basil Jaak and said, "Those people are so daring, harassing me in broad daylight on the street. I'm going to call the police!"
