Nora was shocked at first. Was that her hallucination, or was that Kingsley calling her name?
Then she heard the voice coming from outside, “Nora? Answer me, Nora!”
This time she was confirmed that it was not an illusion. A sense of excitement flooded in. She stood up quickly and dashed to the door, but she bumped into the chair and hit the ground. An abrupt pain came from her ankles, and it hurt so badly that it felt like her heart and lungs were torn into pieces.
But she didn’t have time for the pain and struggled to her feet, stumbling to the door and knock on the door, “Yes, I’m here.”
She couldn’t hold back her tears any longer once she said those words.
Kingsley had also found that the door was locked from the outside. He knocked on the door and comforted her, “Don’t worry, I’ll figure out a way to open the door.”
His method was to smash the lock. Nora heard a loud voice coming from outside, but she felt surprisingly comforted and calm.
The door was open, and Nora saw Kingsley standing outside. He was all wet because of the heavy rain, and his dark hair was sticking on his forehead, which added some wildness to his perfect-looking face. His nose bridge was straight and high, and he had a firm shape of chin.
He frowned and looked at Nora, who was in rags, with a little bit anger on his face. Nora was scared that he would lose his temper, so she immediately said, “My legs are bleeding. It hurts a lot.”
Kingsley took a deep breath and cooled down his anger. He kneeled down and saw a big, fresh wound on her ankle, which was still bleeding. Kingsley patted on his back, “Get on.”
Nora watched the man bending down in disbelief, and then she was touched. She sniffed and held back the urge to cry, leaning against Kingsley’s back.
The car was still in the parking lot，which required a long walk to get to if they wanted to pass through here. When they walked outside, they found Louis had arrived as well.
He glanced at Nora，who was leaning on Kingsley’s shoulder. He slightly moved his lips as if he wanted to say something，but in the end he just kept silent. He passed the umbrella to Nora and said, “Mr. Baxter, you should go back first. I will handle the rest.”
Nora opened the umbrella to shield them from the wind and rain. She lay on Kingsley’s back, holding the umbrella carefully; for fear that the rain would make him wet. The two of them walked for a while, but Nora’s body kept sliding down from his back, so she couldn’t help but moved her body.
“Don’t move!” Kingsley roared in anger and she was scared to stop immediately.
Nora’s clothes were soaked, and Kingsley could clearly feel the softness of her skin through the thin fabric. Smelling the faint fragrance of her body, he felt his heart beating so rapidly that he had to quicken his steps and pretended to be calm.
“My phone and clothes are gone, and I don’t know who locked the door, I’m sorry.” She looked extremely depressed and hurriedly apologized.
“I will find out who’s behind this.”
“Alright.”, Nora replied softly. Not knowing how to continue the conversation, she simply leaned on Kingsley’s back under the umbrella, hoping that this moment would last forever.
After walking for about ten minutes, they finally reached the parking lot. Kingsley opened the door and carefully put Nora on the front passenger seat before walking to the driver’s seat. His body was all wet, and the shape of his figure was shown distinctly through his white shirt.
Kingsley started the car and took a glance at her. She was wearing her hair in a loose bun. The dress she was wearing was a long, blue tube dress, showing the white skin of her neck, which made her look so innocent, yet sexy and seductive.
It was an undeniable truth that Nora was beautiful, but her beauty was not shown in a direct or intentional way. She had the kind of exquisite beauty that became increasingly attractive over time.
With the heating in the car turned on, Nora felt a little bit warmer. She wiped the rain off her body with a tissue, and asked curiously, “How do you know I am here?”
“I can always find you wherever you go.” Kingsley said calmly, but his tone was extremely cold.
Nora didn’t know how to reply his words. Apparently she had felt the coldness in Kingsley’s tone. It suddenly became quiet inside of the car. Even though the heating was on, Nora couldn’t feel a little warmth any more.
It was obvious that Kingsley was angry. Would he punish her after returning home?
