YM778.TV Chapter 333 - Did I Fall Into Her Trap?
Confused why Leon was angry at the worker, \'Shouldn\'t I be the one to be annoyed for the fall?\' Aarvi thought and looked at the worker.
He was a man in his early thirties wearing a worker\'s uniform. The uniform shirt was full sleeves so she didn\'t hold his palm but the forearm.
She would have stood up without support but the lewd eyes of Leon were on her legs, more appropriately between her legs. The dress\'s layer was short in the front and she was in heels. So she was very uncomfortable due to him and didn\'t want to waste too much time.
The worker was somewhat confused but he secured his hand so that she could stand steadily and balance on her feet. His eyes were on her feet hoping her ankles weren\'t twisted.
Aarvi was yet to stand stable on the ground when she felt a pull. Her hold slipped from the forearm of the worker and saw Leon who jerked up, grabbed the worker\'s collar.
The worker was startled when Leon forcefully tugged him closer and menacingly loomed over him. He looked like a real fiend.
His deep voice was intimidating and held the power that could send shivers down the spine "I dare you to touch her."
Aarvi: "..."
She almost tripped hearing his words. She shook her head to get off the thought because he really did sound protective of her as though the worker was taking advantage of her.
An evil demon protecting somebody exists only in fantasy novels.
Leon didn\'t know Aarvi needed just a few seconds to escape. Before the end of his words, she was already a few steps away.
The worker who had squeezed his eyes shut anticipating the pain earned a push instead of a punch in the face. He stumbled and heard Leon curse, "Damn it"
When the worker finally stabilized his footing he noticed Leon chasing after the girl. Without knowing what to think about the situation he was going to the kitchen when he noticed two men hurriedly enter the lobby.
The worker gulped nervously looking at their cold and steely faces. He decided to quickly escape from there if in case some illegal activities were going on.
Alex and another Shadow team member stood by the third storage room door ready to bust inside anytime.
It would be a lie if they say they weren\'t terrified a few seconds back. They had felt their heart near the throat. They couldn\'t believe Aarvi stayed so bloody calm even in that situation.
Shaking off the thoughts, they could only hope nothing goes wrong inside the storage room.
Yes, out of four storage rooms, Aarvi had entered the third room alone with Leon behind her.
Leon was overconfident that Ava Kelly can\'t escape him anymore but seeing her run, he remembered the kitchen had another exit door.
Hence he ignored the man by pushing him away and he raced behind her. Seeing her enter a storage room, he was speechless at Little Lamb for readily lying on the chopping board to get chopped by him.
Who hides in a room right in front of the eyes?
"Tsk Tsk, I truly thought highly of this Little Lamb." He mumbled to himself entering the darkroom.
He took off his blazer as he stretched his limbs and flexed his body as if he had rested too long and his body was rusted.
Indeed his body and brain were rusted to follow her.
How could he dare to enter a room when he already knew Ava Kelly was playing him in the past days like a street dog?
Does a lady standing and running alone without one protecting her look so unguarded?
Wasn\'t she allowed to act weak to lure him when he was the one to start the game of unguarded?
Probably he should have been guarded up like every time because his useless game brought her an effortless chance.
Leon heard the clacking of heels in the dark and missed to notice the door behind him locked. His hands searched for the switches around the door and found them. But the switch was broken.
He slowly traced the sound as he reminded her, "Ava Kelly, do you remember the warehouse was this darker?" There was no light source in there.
He was scaring her, trying to hurt her psychologically, and that way she could fail to keep herself hidden.
Matter of fact, Aarvi\'s heartbeats were erratic hence she had closed her eyes and walked to create the sound.
But hearing him trying to frighten her mind, instead of remembering the nightmarish day, her eyes shot open to the darkness and her lips sneered.
\'You want to scare me? You wish it in your next life.\' She thought.
Instead of hurting her psyche, Leon had unknowingly boosted her confidence and strengthened her resolve.
Aarvi easily sauntered in the huge storage room with her eyes open, calm heartbeats, and her black dazzling eyes brimming with shrewdness.
Little did Leon know his threats and his words of the attack were going to be the cure to her fright of darkness.
[Boss!?] A confused and also astonished voice sounded.
Aarvi\'s team couldn\'t believe she was walking in the dark so easily that she didn\'t bump into anything and her sense of direction was on point towards Leon.
"Sounds?" She whispered.
[Yeah... yeah... On it.] The two voices simultaneously sounded.
Leon was tracing the clacking sounds without letting his step make any noise. He was using his hands to avoid bumping into any storage racks. He thought the racks might fall with just a little force if they weren\'t fastened to the ground.
He continued his words in his deep tone that sounded fake worry, "Don\'t be scared, I am right here. I won\'t let anything happen to you."
Whoever heard him wanted to puke blood to get over his words.
Didn\'t he know if he could trace a person by the sound of heels, she could also trace him by his voice?
How foolish of him to celebrate the victory!
He passed by a \'rack\' and stepped towards the sound when he felt the presence of a person.
\'Pak\'
Leon was so shocked that he froze with his cheek burning with the stinging pain.
It wasn\'t a hand striking his cheek, it was a thing but what? He didn\'t know other than knowing it was cold.
Aarvi walked away with her heel in one hand.
Come on, Leon entered the Lioness den where nothing was in sync. Even if she walks behind him in the dark, they could use the technology in such a way that it can sound in front of Leon.
If he was smarter, he would have found the uncanny by seeing her alone and running.
You can\'t blame Leon either because Aarvi was astute with her acting skills.
Leon heard the footsteps moving in the front which was actually recorded audio before Aarvi removed her heels. He lunged forward in the hopes of catching her but he hit the huge \'rack\' and rolled down on the floor.
He earned more pain.
She was wearing her heel leaning on the wall when Leon stood on his feet and barked like a hurt dog, "Ava Kelly, don\'t test my patience."
Aarvi let out a hearty chuckle, "Patience!? Leon Harmon, the game just began." Her sweet mellow voice was actually mocking him, "What\'s the hurry?"
Leon: "..."
\'Did I fall into her trap?\'
He looked around the darkness, \'What is in here?\'
