Chapter 233 - Meet JoAnna (2) (1/2)

As they exited the elevator, with each step JoAnna's mind was getting more muddled from fear. 'Am I going to be a lamb that is going to a slaughter, without even putting up any resistance?' She can't accept this. She needs to fight… somehow. JoAnna inhaled and tried to yank her arm out of Dr. Light's grip. It didn't work. His grip was too strong.

”Oh, you decided to fight back?” His twisted expression showed that he is enjoying her unsuccessful attempt of breaking free.

JoAnna gathered her courage and spoke as clear as she could. ”Why are you doing this? What do you want from me?” She tried again to yank her hand out of his grasp, but she was not successful.

Dr. Light stopped and quickly glanced around. He didn't see anyone around, and he relaxed. Of course, the whole parking level is only for employees. Day shift employees are already inside, and night shift employees left. It's just the two of them, so he can take his time. ”Why? Because I can... What do I want? Do you even need to ask what I want from you?” His lecherous gaze went up and down JoAnna's body while he licked his lips. ”I spent so much time and effort to give you opportunities! You owe me... or did you think that all that was for free? It's time for you to pay me back for my generosity.”

He yanked her arm to pull her closer to him. His grip on her upper arm intensified again and became unbearable. JoAnna clenched her teeth, and she barely found strength in for her voice. ”I don't owe you anything... but even if I did, do you really want me to sleep with you only because I owe you?” Even with quiet tone, resentment in her voice was obvious.

He was amused with her resistance and laughed. ”I don't really care why you sleep with me, as long as you do it.” Dr. Light inched closer to JoAnna and she could feel his breath on her face.

…

Jeff was thinking that JoAnna is with her boyfriend. He should just leave without looking back. He turned around, toward the exit, but could not help himself to take another glance at her, from the distance. What he saw confused him. 'Is she struggling to break away from him?' Jeff's heartbeat increased and his legs moved on their own in the direction of JoAnna and that man.

He definitely saw JoAnna try to break free again and he rushed towards her. 'Is this a lover's quarrel?' Even if it is, he felt the need to protect her.

Just as he approached them, he heard man laugh and say: ”I don't really care why you sleep with me, as long as you do it.”

Those words struck Jeff like a thunderbolt. 'Why would JoAnna date such a scoundrel?'

”What do you think you are doing?” Jeff growled at the man.

Dr. Light was startled for a second and turned his head to face Jeff. When he realized he does not know him, Dr. Light glared at Jeff and hissed, ”It's none of your business.”

Jeff looked above Dr. Light at bewildered JoAnna, ”Is this your boyfriend?”

JoAnna's eyes widened and she vigorously shook her head.
