Liyan failed to analyze she was easily running towards the door without any blocks and she wasn't getting into the crowd either.Don't people in danger usually enter between people and ask for help?
The happiness causes us to ignore minute details, that was actually happening with Liyan who followed her out of the hall and went behind her towards the kitchen.Running in the lobby, Anjali heard her team quickly report, [Line clear.]
Meant there is nobody in the lobby. Anjali increased her pace as Liyan will be faster as soon as he gets out of the eyes of the people.The bad luck knocks on the door without notice.A worker bumped into Anjali which was totally unforeseen and threatening to Anjali's life. Anjali lost her balance, tripping on her heels, and fell down.Liyan slowed down when she fell and started laughing at her in triumph due to the dead end. One side of the lobby connects to the kitchen and on another end he was present.
She heard her team going crazy on the other end. Aware Anjali couldn't speak due to Liyan's presence, the man asked, stressing each word.
[Boss, just hum if you are fine, else be quiet.] The plan wasn't important but Anjali so they prioritized her over everything.The floor was carpeted so Anjali really wasn't hurt other than her stinging palm. So she hummed in her mellow voice to calm them down.
Whereas Liyan assumed as she was hurt and she groaned which sounded melodic to his ears.
Anjali had thought Liyan might grab hold of her while she was falling down. She had even planned to call the team members to throw Liyan into the room they had arranged for him but Liyan was silent and still not so near.
Good for her, she anyway wanted to do things alone.
From the corner of her eyes, she realized his eyes were on her uncovered legs. Her fingers trembled remembering the night in the hotel suite. That day too, she was lying on the ground while he looked down at her legs.
'L.u.s.t?' Her eyes widened for real in shock. She turned to Liyan remembering 'Erectile dysfunction?'
She saw his dark eyes carrying the same lecherousness that was giving her creeps. 'Arjun is so very right.' She thought in bewilderment thinking the medical science is so complex.
She deduced she was the cause and she is the antidote for Liyan.
Is she afraid?
She hid her slyness, she was thinking about how to play with him.
Even though the past seemed to repeat, the difference between the past and now was she wasn't least afraid of him and she was in her clear senses. But Liyan, who saw her shocked dainty little face, let out a dirty chuckle.
The worker was confused at Liyan's behavior but focused on Anjali. He extended his hand to help her as he apologized for suddenly rushing out of the room.
"I am really sorry, Miss. I was coming out of the storage room... Are you hurt? Would you be able to stand?" He politely asked with a hint of worry.
Anjali looked at his hand that she was reluctant to hold and felt something amiss with Liyan. She turned to Liyan whose face suddenly darkened like stormy clouds looming over him. She failed to catch why he was so annoyed and glared at the worker.Anjali was yet to stand stable on the ground when she felt a pull. Her hold slipped from the forearm of the worker and saw Liyan who jerked up, grabbed the worker's collar.The worker was startled when Liyan forcefully tugged him closer and menacingly loomed over him. He looked like a real fiend.
His deep voice was intimidating and held the power that could send shivers down the spine "I dare you to touch her."
Anjali: "..."
She almost tripped hearing his words. She shook her head to get off the thought because he really did sound protective of her as though the worker was taking advantage of her.Liyan didn't know Anjali needed just a few seconds to escape. Before the end of his words, she was already a few steps away.The worker who had squeezed his eyes shut anticipating the pain earned a push instead of a punch in the face. He stumbled and heard Liyan curse, "Damn it"
When the worker finally stabilized his footing he noticed Liyan chasing after the girl. Without knowing what to think about the situation he was going to the kitchen when he noticed two men hurriedly enter the lobby.
The worker gulped nervously looking at their cold and steely faces. He decided to quickly escape from there if in case some illegal activities were going on.It would be a lie if they say they weren't terrified a few seconds back. They had felt their heart near the throat. They couldn't believe Anjali stayed so bloody calm even in that situation.
