Chapter 934 A Mere Supplicant (1/2)
The middle-aged man got closer to Dina as she desperately twisted the handle to open the door. Suddenly, the door was opened from outside and a man pulled her into his arms.
She looked up in astonishment and saw his chiseled jaw speckled with short stubble. The man standing in front of her was handsome and shining with uncommon luster, like a prince who had come to rescue the damsel in distress. Darren's presence settled her nerves. She wrapped her arms around his waist, tears rolling down from her eyes like pearls on a broken string.
”Darren, thank goodness, you're here at last... He... He was trying to...” she tried to explain as her voice came out in choked sobs.
She looked at Darren with tear-soaked eyes, afraid that he would mistake her for an unscrupulous woman that had seduced this middle-aged man.
After all, she was the top escort of Star Entertainment Club and had slept with numerous men. If Darren were to believe that she had been seducing the man, it would be hard for her to explain herself to him.
”Mr. Li, she is just a naive girl. Please don't be so harsh on her!” he said softly.
Darren's lips curled up into a small, unobtrusive smile. In the dim light, his eyes were gleaming with an almost unholy relish, as if there was a demon that had woken up inside him.
Mr. Li looked at Dina and spat contemptuously over the side. The fat on his face jiggled in accordance to his movements.
”Humph! Darren, is this the woman you have prepared for me? I'll admit, she's a feisty one with a fiery temper,” Mr. Li said.
'Darren knew about this? He wanted me to sleep with this ugly man?'
Dina looked incredulously at Darren, who was holding her in his arms. Although their bodies were bunched up together, it felt as though his heart was far away from hers.
At this moment, Dina felt like she had never really known who Darren was in person. Sometimes, he was like the spring sunshine, bringing her warmth and hope, illuminating the way forward for her. However, on other occasions, he was like a demon from hell, mercilessly dragging her into the depths of despair.
Unfortunately, she had always had a weakness for men who were contradictory and mysterious.
