The dim light in the bar emphasized the anxiety in Yvonne's eyes. She continually glanced at her phone, to see if her twenty messages had gotten through the line, only to see that her boyfriend still didn't reply.
"You alone, miss?" Lured by her beauty, a man offered to have a drink with her, but she politely declined.
He sighed heavily and walked away. She furrowed her eyebrows as she stared at the empty seat in front of her. Ellie Su, her friend, had been in the comfort room for more than ten minutes.
Just as she stood up to find her friend, a scream echoed from the restroom.
Her eyes widened at the familiarity of the sound as she raced towards the restroom. She clutched her chest at the terrible scene.
Ellie Su's skirt was lifted up and her delicate makeup was smeared all over. A man was lying on her, trying to assist her up.
"Stop!" Yvonne didn't waste any time as she stomped over towards them, pushing the man off her best friend.
The man stumbled backwards, flushed with anger.
Ellie Su threw herself to Yvonne's arms and sobbed quietly. Just by glancing at her appearance, a surge of anger raced through Yvonne's veins as she slapped the man right on the face.
His eyes widened. No one had ever tried to hit him ever since he was a child. For a moment, he froze.
"How dare you?" he yelled.
"You son of a bitch! I'll call the police." Yvonne took her phone out and dialed the police's number.
The man knew that he was in the wrong, so he tried to swipe the phone away from her. However, she quickly dodged.
"We're in the Shark Bar. A man molested my friend. Please come over," she said bluntly, hanging up the phone.
It didn't take long for the police to arrive. After being briefed of the incident, they took all three of them to the police station for the detailing.
The man's eyes were as cold as the Atlantic Ocean. There was just something about his gaze that screamed superiority and authority to anyone he'd just met. He took out his phone and tapped on one of his contacts.
"Mr. Tian, head over to the police station now. You got five minutes," he stated. "If you can't get here in time, you're fired."
In the police station, Mr. Tian, the man's lawyer, did all the talking as he negotiated with the police.
However, Yvonne couldn't care less of what they were talking about. Instead, she continued to glance at her phone. She already alerted her boyfriend of her whereabouts, but he still didn't reply.
The man closed his eyes as his lawyer did the talking, as if he couldn't be bothered with what he was saying.
Yvonne felt her stomach lurch. "Um," she started. "May I please go to the restroom?"
The lawyer was taken by surprise and said nothing, hesitating.
The man then opened his eyes. "Go ahead."
She didn't wait any further as she rushed to the other side of the station. It was almost her period, so her stomach had been cramping like crazy these past few days. However, she had forgotten to ask the directions that she stumbled into a detention room by accident.
"Sorry, I–" Her words died at the back of her throat when she saw who was sitting in front of the officer – her boyfriend, Aaron Cui. "Miss?"
She gaped as she stepped forward to get a better look, only to be blocked by a policeman.
Aaron Cui finally looked up to see what the fuss was about. When he spotted Yvonne, he quickly buried his face into hands.
"What did he do?" she demanded. Her hands were already trembling.
"Prostitution!" The policeman glared at her. "Miss, you can't come here without the permission. Please leave."
Prostitution? It was as if lightning had electrocuted her from the sky. Her boyfriend, her fiance, was brought to the police station due to prostitution?
"I'm his girlfriend. Why didn't I get the notice?" She crossed her arms.
"I don't know." The officer rubbed the back of his neck. "Miss, please leave for a bit. You can visit him once we're done."
"Aaron Tell me! What the hell is going on?" Yvonne didn't bother to listen to the man's words as she stared at Aaron's hiding face, wanting to hear his side from all of this.
