The masked man (3)

In the presidential suite, Dena was listlessly fidgeting with the hem of her clothes while trying to eat the soup.

She was having brunch with the man at the dinner table. Earlier, she summoned her courage to thank the man for saving her life, but she was interrupted by the embarrassing noise of growling from her stomach. She wished to disappear on the spot from the shame. The man didn't even speak to her and requested room service directly. After refreshing herself and sitting at the table, Silence descended into the room; the only sound was the clinking of her cutlery. ' ah, it is so awkward. Who is this man? What is his name? How come he's hiding his face?'

She was sure the book had no character with a black mask. With each day, her life became more complicated. Dena believed right now; she was utterly clueless about this world.

"The food is not your liking?" the man asked her.

' How can I eat if you just sit there and constantly watch my every move?'

" of course not, It's yummy. Thank you."

Dena tried to start the conversation.

"My name is Edwin Lohrasb. May I request the name of my saviour? "

"It's Radin."

'Is that it? No surname? I don't think there was anyone with that name in the novel! What am I supposed to do next? Is he a good person or a bad one? '

'let's not dwell on this matter anymore. Noah is my priority.'

Dena looked up and said sincerely.

"Thank you, I'm grateful for yesterday. I was in a trance, and I wasn't paying attention. I would have gotten into an accident if you hadn't stopped me. But I wondered why you took me to the hotel rather than the hospital."

" When I pulled you over, you fainted all of a sudden. I couldn't find your phone or Identification card; I didn't even know your name. And given my circumstances, I was uncomfortable being questioned by the police or whoever. The best option was to come here and wait until you came to your senses. "

Dena thought to herself.

'Oh, is he a criminal? Or does he have a scar? I now want to know why he's wearing a mask for! '

"Sorry for the trouble. Can I ask you for a favour? As you said, I lost everything. Could you get me back on that street? And I will reimburse you for your time and assistance. "

The man nodded his head, smiling.

"Sure. I look forward to seeing you in the future."

Dena's face went red in a flash of light as she stared at a dimple on his face.' Wow, I can't believe he looks so hot, even though half his face is covered! '

Dena resumed her meal quickly so she could get out early.

Dena had already lost half her soul in shock at the hotel entrance. 'What kind of place was it? Using the word Fancy to describe this hotel didn't do it justice!! How do you expect me to repay?'

Dena, like a zombie, followed the man in a car.

The man took a card and handed it to her.

" Here, use this until you find your mobile."

Dena was taken aback. 'No matter how bad he is, I'm ready to hug his thigh! How could he spend so much on someone he doesn't know? Imagine being his friend or family!'

Dena was dazed till she got into the restaurant.

' Hopefully, I can find my phone here.'

After making inquiries, she could not retrieve her phone or find a trace of Noah.

'He couldn't care less about my disappearance? He didn't even leave his number to reach out if I returned. '

She went to the parking lot to look at Noah's car, but nothing was there.

Dena's heart felt empty.

' Here I was thinking about how to appease him; ah, I am such a moron—still assuming that people care about me when they would live their lives unhindered! Do I genuinely believe that Noah would wait for me for 24 hours? '

Dena sarcastically ridiculed herself. Tears rolled down her cheeks. 'Oh, I hate myself, always a winner and crybaby! '

She could feel the glances of bystanders around her. She began to run to a deserted driveway to hide. Before she got here, she was pushed by a powerful force in a car.

" Hey! What are you doing? Let me…"

She shut her mouth as she looked at her captor. Noah's appearance was haggard enough that he could not be identified. There were no glasses on his face. Therefore, the red eyes were more visible. His brown hair was crooked, and his clothes were wrinkled. All of him screamed. He was a mess!

Dena suddenly felt somewhat pleased. ' Oh look, it's because of me!'

But a crushing feeling of self-loathing poured down on her. 'You are one despicable person! How would you be happy about that? Are you a sadist?'

Noah still had his hand in his grip. He did not say a word to her during the journey. She was taken to a house by Noah. The door was shut, and he hugged her with an urgency she couldn't fathom.

" Are you okay? He didn't mess with you, did he?"

Before she could shake her head, Noah began to take her clothes off.

"What has gotten into you? "

" I need to see for myself. Come on, strip! "

"Have you lost your mind? Hey, keep your hands off me!"

They struggled frantically with one another, even after falling to the ground.

"hum"

A coughing noise froze them both out of the blue.

A woman in a beige suit with a black tie watched them with a raised eyebrow.

Noah grunted and got up from the floor while saying sarcastically.

" Oh, wow, The sun rose in the west; the watchdog of the great boss graced us with her presence."

The woman didn't even flinch at Noah's words.

"The boss wants you to stop playing this game of stealing lovers from one another."

Dena was dumbfounded. 'What lover? What boss? Who's the lover?'

Noah laughed with amusement.

" You should warn him, not me. He always does this shit first, but you are so scared of him that you never go near him. And what are you trying to gain by letting Edwin see you?"

The tension in the room was so thick that a knife could cut it.
