She rushed in and soon found a captain who frowned looking at her state. He looked decent and also concerned to know her situation. ”Take a seat, what happened, Miss?” He quickly moved the glass of water in front of her, seeing her panting heavily unable to control her quivering body and pale complexion
Ava was trying to catch her breath sitting in front of the captain who patiently waited for her to compose. However, the police chief was on a call with Leon Harmon. He rushed out of his office like an obedient puppet of Leon Harmon instead of behaving like a loyal servant of the government.
He looked all around the hall to see who was wearing a short copper brown colored dress and had chocolate brown long hair.
As soon as his eyes spotted the required girl, he whispered to the caller gazing at Ava Kelly's back, ”President Harmon, she is right here.”
He hummed twice hearing Leon Harmon before an enticed and cunning curve appeared on his face. His eyes twinkled at the newfound richness. How could he ignore the offer of Leon Harmon?
He looked at Ava as though she was his lucky charm but his lips smirked to a devilish one imagining how to play and scare her away without letting her write a complaint against Leon Harmon.
He responded in a low voice, ”President Harmon, don't worry, I will take good care of the lady.”
Unaware of the situation, Ava soothed her dry throat sipping water before looking at the anticipating captain, ”I am sorry sir for wasting your time. I am here to report against Leon Harmon.” She bluntly said.
She didn't know how far Leon Harmon had connections and she believed all are equal before the law. 'How naive of her!'
She didn't realize she was lacking experience and judgment when it comes to the police stations and the cases such as molestation that she boldly and alone went to complain against one of the top businessmen for an attempt to molest.
The captain's lips twitched hearing the name and repeated to confirm, ”You mean THE FAMOUS INDUSTRIALIST, LEON HARMON?”
Ava felt strange hearing him give so much importance to Leon. She eerily felt like he was suppressing his laughter morphing from concerned to mock.
He looked at her up and down of her upper body and guessed as though she was there to make up a story, ”Let me guess, he tried to r.a.p.e you?”
Ava frowned at his mocking tone. She had strong instincts to run from there but she was rooted. Those men were waiting for her outside and she will be done for if she goes out.
'Lust!' A word suddenly appeared remembering Leon's gaze and seeing the captain's gaze hover on her wounded lips and… b.r.e.a.s.ts.
