Encounter

Chase was definitely furious at April. Not only did he feel humiliated in front of his companions, but he was also irritated that this woman was rejecting him.

In response, Chase grabbed April's arm with such force that made her bag of sexual merchandise fall to the floor with a clatter.

The reaction of the others was indifference. They turned their backs away from Chase and April to return to their drinking. They were also avoiding being involved in this scene. As prominent businessmen, they didn't intend to have any attention drawn towards them, here in such a sleazy place.

However, Chase didn't seem to consider this. He was so pissed off by April's evasive behavior towards him. Therefore, he didn't care if anyone was looking. All he cared about was to get even, as well as to have his way with this proud woman.

Chase dragged April to the darkest corner of the club. He was grasping her by the arm tightly.

In fact, Chase didn't even mind the man sitting at that corner.

April felt the painful grip of Chase's but she didn't want to make a scene herself. She knew that if she did, she will not be allowed by the management to enter this club again.

Chase's hands were all over April's body now. He wanted to have sex with April. This was his plan from the beginning but April rejected him.

"Get your hands off me you maniac!"

April's voice started to rise by now. At this point, she didn't care anymore about anything else but to get away from this beast.

"What if I won't huh?"

Chase snapped back, challenging April's threats.

April was almost about to give Chase another hard slap on the face when someone's hands grabbed Chase by his shirt collar and pulled him away from her.

A man, equally dressed or might probably be more well dressed than Chase, rushed to stop him.

Since the lights were dimmed at the club, April was not able to make out the other man's features.

The mysterious man forced Chase's hands and arm into a twisted position.

"Ahhh..."

April heard Chase's screams of pain.

Although he was hurt, Chase was not able to move. He was forced to bend down the club floor. The next move of the man was to beat up Chase to stay down with his feet close to breaking. 

The next thing April saw was that two men dragged Chase out of the club. His companions merely stared at him being dragged, half-unconscious already.

Afterward, the mysterious guy sat on the empty chair in that same dark corner where Chase had dragged April to.

Although April felt indebted to this man, she felt not obligated to say anything to this stranger.

"Excuse me, can you serve me some tea?"

The man said in a commanding tone. It was a very unexpected remark.

April glanced in the man's direction. She somehow was reminded of that kind of tone. But after a split second, she shrugged it off.

"I am sorry but I don't work here. You can ask a waitress to do that for you."

She told the man as politely as she could. This was what she could manage, for him getting rid of Chase, hassling her.

She walked towards her merchandise, all scattered on the floor. She quickly picked them up and placed them in her bag. After that, she was ready to go around and sell her sex toys again.

"But you're the one I want to serve me."

April heard the commanding voice of the man again.

April squinted her eyes in the dimness of the club. However, she did not recognize this imposing man. He might have done her a favor earlier but it seemed this man was as insistent as Chase after all.

"Sir, here is your tea."

A waitress brought a teapot and a small cup for the man. The waitress was about to pour tea but the man gestured for the waitress to stop, which the waitress followed obediently.

This irritated April immediately but she was holding back her temper now. She didn't intend to have another argument for one night.

"I said, you're the one I chose to serve me."

The man declared again, a bit sterner, with the impression that April did not understand him.

"I already said I don't work in this club."

April repeated her original response.

"Hey, don't talk back that way. You don't work here but you come here with your toys! You're such a hypocrite."

The waitress cut in with her words of insult towards April.

"Stop! I was not talking to you. Now go away."

He instantly reprimanded the waitress. Predictably, the waitress didn't say anything back. She just did what she was told and left April and the man.

Although April didn't like what the man had been doing, she felt compelled to entertain the man's demands for what this man did to Chase. 

The other reason would probably be the fact that she was a bit afraid of him for what he was capable of doing, so she felt she had to pour tea. 

While pouring tea, the man remained silent and so April kept her mouth shut as well. She felt the man's piercing gaze upon her but she didn't want to stare back. After she was done, she placed the teapot down on the table and was about to leave.

"I want something to eat."

April heard the man announce. There's that controlling tone again.

April thought to herself. This man was really so sure of himself.

"Look, you asked me to pour you some tea. I just did. I already told you that I don't work here. So can you please stop ordering me around?"

April still responded in a level tone. But there was already a hint of annoyance in her voice. This man was too demanding.

"I heard you but that doesn't mean I accept your answer. I got hungry from getting rid of your admirer there."

The man continued to insist. He seemed to hint that April owe him something.

April sighed deeply to expel her growing exasperation. She placed her bag of sex toys on one of the empty chairs and then faced the bossy guy.

"Okay, so what do you want to eat then?"

April asked, but now, she didn't even try to hide her irritation at all.

Her hands were both on her hips. She felt that this man would not stop until she played his little game.
