Chapter 21: Exposed
"Burberry."
In an instant Valerie's face turned red. Then Ryan took her hand back. Valerie looked at Ryan's serious face, "Valerie, you are a very beautiful woman."
"Hmmm, thank you." When Ryan pulled her hand again, the woman tried to escape him but failed.
Seeing this, Ryan immediately removed his hand and sat back down to his place, "Hurry and eat your food, we will continue this later."
When she saw Ryan's distant figure, Valerie felt relieved and disappointed as if she wanted to continue with this.
"Alright." Valerie then took her spoon and fork. When Ryan also wanted to take his cutlery, his spoon fell off.
Ryan then apologized and bent down to take it. He took advantage of this to steal a chance to peek. But what he saw left him completely speechless.
When he wanted to take a peek at what color Valerie was wearing, he was greeted by pink lips. It was so small and tight, it looked a little wet.
Valerie didn't wear any underwear!
Ryan felt that his eyes had tricked him and his head started to get dizzy.
Valerie wondered why Ryan didn't take the cutlery back and forth. She suddenly thought of the incident this morning, immediately she wanted to scream but ended up just looking down in shame while tightly closing her legs. This morning she woke up late and was in a hurry when she left for the office, so she forgot to put on her underwear. She just prayed that Ryan, aka her boss, saw nothing when she was under the table.
When Ryan sat back in place, Valerie could only lower her head. She did not dare to look Ryan in the eye. But she felt that her heart was clenching when Ryan's eyes were full of meaning.
Ryan also tried to calm the lust that was starting to rise and continued eating. He thought, 'Ryan calm down, you are Nergal the God of War, not a pervert, so calm yourself.'
For a moment the atmosphere at lunch was awkward. Ryan tried to calm himself down and Valerie just lowered her head while holding her embarrassment and closed her legs tightly.
There was only silence at this point.
"Valerie!" At this moment Ryan broke the silence. Valerie then lifted her head and saw the smile on Ryan's face, immediately her heart clenched.
"Can I take back my cutlery that fell?" He asked with a smile.
"Not!" Valerie immediately blushed and said her disapproval in a trembling voice. Her heart, which had initially calmed down a little, was beating fast again.
He saw it, he must have seen it!
Valerie felt very embarrassed and Ryan was very happy to see Valerie's confused behavior so he wanted to tease her again.
Holding Valerie's hand, Ryan smiled again and said, "Valerie, take it easy, I didn't see anything."
"Stop talking lies like that, I will not be defeated by your sweet words." Valerie really wanted to bury herself deep and screamed.
Ryan then sat beside Valerie and stroked her hair, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that. If you are angry, I invite you to slap my cheek."
"No need." Valerie immediately rejected it.
After a while, Valerie looked back at Ryan. Ryan replied with a smile and saw that Valerie's entire face was completely red.
"Don't tell anyone about this ...." Valerie said in a low voice.
"Don't worry, I won't share this happiness with anyone." Ryan said with a grin.
"What do you mean!" Valerie blushed again.
"Hahaha .. Let's quickly finish your meal, we have to come back soon." Ryan said.
Just as they wanted to finish their meal, there was a commotion from the side and the sound of plates and glasses breaking together.
"Please! There are people who are being held hostage!"
A cry for help was heard and the entire restaurant panicked.
Just one shout was enough to make the entire restaurant panic. Seeing the people running towards the exit made Valerie panic as well. When she was about to run, a hand suddenly grabbed her. Ryan seemed to try calming her.
"Don't panic, I'm here." He assured her.
Nergal the God of War was here, why be afraid? He had killed a thousand people at once. Would a hostage scare him? Not likely.
"Let's see what really happened." Ryan added.
"Okay." Somehow Valerie agreed to Ryan's suggestion. As long as she was by Ryan's side, she felt very safe.
In the inner room, a man was pointing a knife to the neck of a woman he was hugging. He then shouted to the crowd who was nearby, "Don't come near! One step and she will die!"
Most of the people in the restaurant had already left, the remaining few wanted to save the woman.
"Buddy, calm down. Put down the knife and let's have a good talk." A man was trying to calm the perpetrator.
"He's right, you are young and you have many days. You don't have to do all these things." An aunt also tried to cheer him up, "You will only make yourself suffer. Listen to the older man's advice and put down the knife. If you have a deep burden, you can tell us."
The restaurant manager immediately arrived at the scene and shouted angrily at his subordinates, "What's going on?"
"Sir, we don't know the details. The man is eating his food with the woman. Then suddenly he took a knife and held it on the woman's neck." Said a waitress.
This was one of the nightmares that befell this restaurant!
The manager tried to calm himself and massaged the space between his eyebrows, trying to figure out what his next move would be. After a while, the manager asked, "Has anyone called the police?"
The waitress nodded, "We've already called."
"In that case, good. This incident is beyond our responsibility, quickly evacuate the people and I will secure the location before the police arrive."
The waiter quickly obeyed the manager's instructions and the manager immediately approached the culprit.
"Hello sir, I am the person in charge of this restaurant. Can you tell me what happened to you?" The manager tried to look as calm as possible while raising his hand, showing that he just wanted to talk.
The man looked angry, his eyes were already very red and filled with hatred.
"That is none of your business!"
The manager tried to negotiate again, "I know it's none of my business. I only care about you who are young but have wasted your life. You still have plenty of time to do the right thing but if you go to jail then that time will be lost."
"I do not care!" The culprit roared again at him.
The manager frowned and said, "Hey, what happened? Why are you doing this? If you don't tell us what happened, we all can't help you."
This time the man was silent, then he looked at the woman he was choking. Suddenly the man was sobbing and said, "Sandra ...Sandra wanted to break up with me!!"
"Who is Sandra?" Asked the manager.
"That woman's name is Sandra." Said a waiter who accompanied the manager.
Everyone who was still there was shocked. The person he was holding hostage was his own girlfriend?
The man then looked back at his girlfriend and said tearfully, "I love you with all my heart. I have given everything to you. I promised myself that I will accompany you until you die. Didn't you say that to me too? Have you forgotten the good times we've been through? You forgot the fancy places I took you there?"
Sandra, who felt the knife blade on her neck, trembled with fear. She did not expect that today's events would turn out like this.
Initially, their relationship was going well but recently their relationship began to drift apart. Therefore, Sandra made a reservation at this restaurant to end their relationship. Sandra didn't like this man's lifestyle. He liked to be lazy and only good at sweet-talking. For Sandra, this man was not the right man and she wanted to move on with her life.
But after Sandra stated the intent of their meeting today, her boyfriend grabbed a knife and started taking her hostage.
