He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 307

"Mmph... mmph..."

Before she could even scream, a vicious chop hit the back of her neck, and she instantly blacked out.

When she came to, she found herself in a dimly lit room. Standing over her was a towering, broad-shouldered man, his eyes radiating a faint, lethal intent.

Terrified, she scrambled backward. "Who... who are you?"

With a cold, magnetic voice, the man pulled a phone from his pocket.

Even in the dim light, she immediately recognized it as hers.

"Password," he demanded.

The voice sounded familiar. She stared at him for a few seconds before the realization hit her like a truck. This was the man who was always trailing after Scarlett, running her errands. His name was... Stellan.

She hadn't had the chance to send the video before he knocked her out.

If she gave him the password and he deleted it, her entire night's work would be ruined.

Gritting her teeth, she spat, "I don't know."

He delivered a brutal slap across her face. His voice remained chillingly detached. "Do you know now?"

Seeing stars, she clutched her stinging cheek and shrieked. "You... you call yourself a man, hitting a woman?!"

Expressionless, he grabbed a handful of her hair.

"I don't see gender. I only see targets."

"If you don't give me the password, you aren't leaving this room alive."

His rough grip yanked at her scalp, causing an excruciating, blinding pain. She screamed in agony.

"It hurts... stop! Let go, I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

Only then did he release her.

Staring at him, she quickly scanned the room, the gears in her head turning.

Stellan radiated pure, unfiltered masculinity. His sharp, rugged features and those dangerously cold eyes made her want to commit a crime right then and there.

She had absolute confidence in her face and body.

She was going to spare no effort in stealing every single man around Scarlett, including the one standing right in front of her.

Stellan remained planted in his spot. He didn't step forward, nor did he step back. His icy eyes betrayed zero emotion, though his Adam's apple bobbed slightly.

That subtle movement was all the signal she needed.

Making up her mind, she boldly reached to undo the clasps of her lingerie, swaying her hips and looking up at him with eyes practically dripping with lust.

"Say something, handsome."

"I'm definitely richer than she is, and I know how to please a man."

"How about this? I'll pay you, and you can keep working for her. But whatever she does, whatever she says, you report to me."

"And as for you... whenever you get lonely, you can come find me. Trust me, I know tricks you haven't even dreamed of..."
