Chapter 19: Sudden Approach

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Can’t you see she doesn’t want to talk to you? Please leave!” The handsome man’s gaze was cold as he looked at the two men warily.

Seeing the young man wasn’t to be trifled with, the two men left in embarrassment, but they still stared at Mila, their gazes landing on her legs and bare back.

“Theo, what a coincidence!”

The person who stood up for Mila was her aunt’s son, Theo.

“Do you have to come to a bar when you’re out drinking with Elaine? You can do the same in a private room in a restaurant.” Theo looked at Mila dotingly.

“Drinking in a restaurant is completely different from drinking in a bar!” Mila retorted mildly.

Elaine glanced at Theo and asked in surprise, “Have we met before? How do you know my name?”

Theo laughed heartily. “I’ve seen your TV series ‘Crush’. You’re great at it. You vividly portray the bitterness of a girl’s unrequited love.”

“Thank you.”

Elaine had heard many praises, but she was actually a little shy in front of Theo.

She filmed “Crush” not long after she entered the industry. With that TV series, she successfully entered the public eye. She didn’t expect Theo to know about her so early.

“I’ll tell my friends and come back to drink with you. It’s not safe for you two girls to be on your own.” Theo was worried they would be harassed again, so he decided to accompany them.

Not long after Theo left, Mila’s phone vibrated. She took it out and saw it was Chaucer.

It was a little noisy in the bar and not convenient to answer the phone. Mila was worried about leaving Elaine here alone, so she could only hang up first and wait for Theo to come back before calling Chaucer back.

After a few minutes, Theo came back, and Mila rose to her feet. “You guys chat first. I need to make a phone call.”

After leaving the bar, Mila immediately called Chaucer. The moment the call went through, she heard Chaucer’s unhappy voice. “What are you doing? Why did you hang up?”

“It was too noisy in the bar. I came out to call you. What’s the matter?”

Chaucer took a deep breath and said, “I came out to run some errands. It’s getting late, so why don’t I give you a ride home? Which bar are you at?”

“Cloud Bar, but I don’t want to go back yet. You go ahead. I’ll take a taxi back after I’m done.”

When Mila heard Chaucer’s voice, she thought of his gloomy face before she went out and didn’t really want to meet him for the time being.

“How much longer do you need?”

“I’m meeting with a friend, so I’m not sure. It’ll take at least an hour.”

“Then I’ll pick you up in an hour.”

With that, Chaucer hung up before Mila could refuse.

Mila sighed in resignation and returned to the bar, where she continued to drink and chat with Theo and Elaine. An hour later, the beer bottles were empty.

The cell phone on the table flashed. Mila opened it and saw it was a message from Chaucer. “I’m in the parking lot. Come out.”

“Elaine, Theo, I’m going home,”

“It’s getting late. Let’s all go home.” Theo got up and held Mila’s arm.

Mila was worried about Elaine and asked Theo to send her home. After separating from the two of them, she walked to the parking lot to search for Chaucer’s car.

Chaucer leaned against the car and saw Mila looking around with flushed cheeks and blurry eyes. Unknown anger surged in his heart and he called her unhappily, “Mila.”

Mila jogged over in her high heels and sat in the front passenger seat before closing her eyes.

Chaucer’s gaze landed on her as he helped her buckle her seatbelt. Other than the smell of alcohol, she also had a faint fragrance that made people want to approach her.

Mila suddenly opened her eyes and was surprised to see the man who suddenly approached. Chaucer gave her a meaningful look, got up, started the car, and drove out of the parking lot.

At this moment, in a deep alley not far from the bar, a group of bodyguards in black were beating up two men, who were the men who had harassed Mila in the bar just now and even said something about becoming her husband.

The two of them hadn’t gone far from the bar when they were gagged, stuffed into sacks, and dragged into the deep alley. A group of men came up and hit them without saying a word. They only stopped when the two men fell to the ground and were still.

There were no surveillance cameras in this deep alley. The group of people dispersed and didn’t attract any attention.

A long time passed before the two of them were discovered by passersby and sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. They couldn’t figure out who they had offended to suffer such a calamity.
