Weiyoung heard the sound for the second time and s.h.i.+vered. She knew someone was outside her door. But she was too scared to do anything. She could not even lift a finger or breathe. She pressed her palms together and prayed silently. She wondered whether the sweat coming off her were due to the fact that the air condition wasn"t working or because she was scared to the bones.
She had long put off the light in the entire studio.
"Please G.o.d. Save me. I must remain alive" She prayed silently.
Then, she heard another sound. Someone was trying to open her door.
There was no where she could possibly run to. No where to hide in the small studio. With shaking hands, she dialed Dexi"s number again. But he still wasn"t answering. Who was she going to call now? She had to save herself. She had to brace herself for whatever was to come.
She looked around the dark room, trying to get sight of anything she could use as a weapon. Fortunately for her, she was able to make out the image of a knife she had used to peel an apple that morning.
Stealthily, she crawled to the table where it was. But she didn"t succeed in getting there before the door burst open to reveal several men in black suits.
She screamed her lungs out and grabbed the knife but was suddenly blinded by a very bright flashlight. When she expected the worse to happen, she heard one of the men say to her.
"CEO Mo sent us."
Weiyoung instantly recognised the man when they switched on the room"s light. She had seen him with Dexi a couple of times.
She gasped and then suck in air. She didn"t know how long she had been holding her breath. Tears streamed down her face.
"What a b.a.s.t.a.r.d" She muttered in a hoa.r.s.e voice before using the back of her hand to clean off the tears and sniffled back the others. Why did they have to break in instead of just informing her they were coming? He had obviously done it to threaten her.
Her phone began to ring with a call from Dexi. She closed her eyes to steady her emotions before taking the call on the third ring.
"They"ll safely send you to my parents house. Let"s meet up tomorrow"
She heard him laugh a bit before hanging up on her.
Sara looked behind her to make sure no one was following her. When she confirmed she was the only one on the street that night, she entered the alley.
Her street was usually so quiet and isolated especially at nights since a lot of people do not live in that area.
When she moved further inside, she saw a black expensive looking car parked there.
There were street lights on the street whose lights reached the alley so it was easier for her to see well instead of straining her eyes in the dark to see clearly.
Two young men in black suits, probably in their thirties, came down from the back of the car. She could clearly still see two other men in the driver and pa.s.senger"s seat.
One of the men who came down looked at the young lady they were supposed to fetch. She was wearing a black turtlenecked sweater and blue jean with a black sneaker. A scarf was wrapped around her neck while her hair was packed in a messy ponytail.
"Sara w.a.n.g?" He asked.
Sara"s gaze narrowed when she looked at him. "You are the son of a b.i.t.c.h who threatened me?" She asked calmly.
The other man looked at her in suprise. She"s really got some nerves—talking to them like that.
The man she spoke to scoffed in disbelieve at her words but chose to ignore her. He was here to take her to his boss and that was it.
"Please join us" He gestured at the car.
"And why should I?" Her voice was still calm as she c.o.c.ked her head to the side.
The other men who had quietly been observing, felt this girl was a bit difficult and decided to also get down.
"Quietly follow us or we"ll have to force you" The one who had been sitting in the front seat advised.
Sara laughed in derision. "Force me? Who ordered you?" She demanded.
"Come with us and you"ll see" He answered.
"I want to know the person first. Else, I"m going back home" She said nonchalantly.
After exchanging glances amongst themselves, the first man who spoke to her placed a call across to someone and after a few seconds of saying inaudible things that Sara couldn"t make out since he wasn"t so close to her and was speaking in a low voice, he pa.s.sed the phone over to her.
"My darling. Why are you making things difficult for them?"
She heard Jinyong"s voice ask.
"Childish b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" Sara muttered through gritted teeth. "This is your new hobby? Going about abducting people?" Sara asked in mock and annoyance.
He chuckled and didn"t bother to answer her question. "Just come with them already. We have a long night ahead of us. You shouldn"t be wasting any second being difficult." He said smoothly.
It was Sara"s turn to chuckle. "You must have really lost your senses. I have been wondering what the letter C in your name stood for. I just found out now, It"s for Common Sense" She said sarcastically.
Jinyong was quiet for a while. He tried to understand what Sara actually meant. Then, he got the gist. There was no letter C in his name. It meant she was saying he didn"t have common sense!
