360 Are You Blind or Just Acting Pitiful in my Presence? (2/2)
Why didn't she treat them with the same cruelty she had used against him?
Though he wasn't exactly pleased with her, he couldn't help but care for her. He couldn't control himself, and his footsteps were headed towards her.
He wanted to give her his blazer, but a tall figure appeared, draping a trench coat over Tang Mo'er's shoulders instead.
Jun Chulin had arrived.
Jun Chulin covered Tang Mo'er's delicate shoulder with his trench coat before he bent down to pick her up.
”President Gu, so this is how things work in your territory? Even maids are allowed to drench anyone with cold water? How despicable. If President Gu isn't going to teach these lowly servants a lesson, I don't mind doing the dirty job on your behalf.” Jun Chulin looked at Gu Mohan with a challenging expression.
Gu Mohan's palm was still hovering in mid-air after he removed his blazer. Tang Mo'er was in Jun Chulin's arms and not only were they matching in the looks department, Jun Chulin had saved the damsel in distress and they seemed like a compatible couple. It was also rather… disturbing to Gu Mohan.
Gu Mohan slowly raised a corner of his lips, retaliating instead, ”You're not able to dodge when others splash water at you? Are you blind or just acting pitiful in my presence?”
He didn't notice the imperceptible flinch from Tang Mo'er when he said the word 'blind'. Rather than teaching the maids a lesson, he spoke harshly to Tang Mo'er instead.
”President Guー”
Jun Chulin wanted to speak out, but Tang Mo'er moved in his arms, whispering softly as she lowered her wet eyelashes, ”Forget about it, let's just go. I'm tired of this place.”
Jun Chulin lifted his head and gave Gu Mohan a disparaging look before he left with Tang Mo'er in his arms.
…
After the two were gone, the atmosphere was tense and the few maids tried to escape. ”President Gu, then we shall… take our leave.”
They turned around, wanting to run away but two muscular men dressed in black, stood in front of them, blocking their escape.
One of the men dressed in black dragged one of the maids by her arm into the pantry. In front of the sink, he filled it up with water and pressed her head inside, not letting her back up as she struggled to get some air.
The other servants gasped, their legs gave way and they fell to their knees immediately. ”President Gu, we don't dare to do it again. Please spare our lives, please let us off.”
