Since Natalia was a child, Katie Miller had loved to do everything against her. She never failed to pick a fight with Natalia.
Natalia was no in the mood to deal with her, so she pulled out a few bills from her bag and called for the check.
However, Katie stepped forward and blocked her path.
"Why are you leaving? C'mon, show me. Is it condoms or lube today?"
She reached out to grab Natalia's bag.
Natalia took a step back, glaring at her with cold eyes.
"Katie Miller, don't go overboard!"
"Overboard? Ha-ha…" Katie acted as if she heard a great joke. "Natalia Dawson! Do you think you're still my brother's girlfriend? You're nothing now! How can you still put on such airs?"
Natalia's jaw tightened expressionlessly.
Katie waved her hand. "You! Go grab her bag!"
"What's the point of just looking at her bag? Doesn't she sell adult products? It's already so late, yet she's still out making deliveries. I wonder if she's delivering an item or a person."
"That's true, but look at how much of a dead fish she is. No one would want her anyway. Why don't we just strip her down and check if we can find any evidence? Wouldn't it help clear your brother's name?"
Katie's eyes brightened. "Oh! Let's do that!"
The girls rubbed their hands together as they advanced, and Natalia paled.
She turned and ran out of blue. She was so fast and they could not even catch her.
However, she did drink quite a lot, so she stumbled as she ran without knowing the direction she was heading. After blearily seeing the letters 'WC' on the door, she quickly rushed inside.
A loud voice instantly cried out, "What the f*ck!"
There were two people inside. One was smoking, and the other was using the lavatory. He almost peed his pants in shock upon seeing her barge in.
It was also Natalia's first time seeing something like that, so she was stunned for a few seconds. Then, she realized that she entered the wrong door and immediately turned red.
"I-I'm sorry! I went the wrong way!"
She stumbled and was about to exit, but Katie's voice sounded from outside.
"Where did she run off to? Where is she?"
"I clearly saw her run over here. Where did she disappear to?"
"She must be in the toilet! Go! Find her!"
Natalia grew slightly pale and looked at the two men opposite her. She had a vague feeling that the smoker looked familiar.
"Misters, may … may I hide here for a while?"
Although it was a difficult request, she had no other choice. She did not want to get caught by Katie.
Archie McCarthy's face was expressionless. His cold eyes glanced over to Brian Simpson, who was hurriedly putting on his pants. "Get out!"
Brian was so frightened that his heart was trembling. He bolted out as if he was granted amnesty.
Natalia felt dizzy and subconsciously tried to reach out to hold something, but her legs suddenly gave out and she fell forward.
Her head lightened and she instinctively closed her eyes.
However, the pain she expected never came, and a slender and powerful arm stretched out and scooped her up.
She crashed into the man's arms and her already dizzy head became even dizzier. Her body slid down involuntarily.
Archie could only throw away the cigarette and hold her up with both hands. He looked at her drunken mess with a frown on his face.
"Natalia Dawson, just how much did you drink?"
Natalia grew confused after realizing that he knew her name.
"Do you know me?"
Archie's eyes were calm. His emotions were barely visible from his expression.
Then, his thin lips pulled up.
"No, I don't."
