Only Jennifer glanced back when Kagern shouted wait. It was as if Mr. Brooks didn't hear him at all. The man continued to drag the reluctant Jennifer away, until he reached a suite next to the one Kagern and his father had been into.He was going to enter when Kagern used something different from wait. Something the man could hear clearly."Mr. Brooks, what do you think you're doing?"This time, the man turned around, his eyes bloodshot and his veins visible under the skin on his temples."What did you say?"Now that Kagern had got his attention, he slowed down, approaching the duo confidently as he repeated his question."What do you think you're doing?"Before the man could shout any word, Kagern continued, "Do you know that that's harassment? Do you know that you can go to jail for what you're about to do to that young girl?"Dumbfounded, Mr. Brooks let out a chuckle and took a step toward Kagern."I'm a good person so I'll give you a warning," he said. "Get lost if you still want

Kagern allowed Jennifer to cry all she wanted, holding her tight to comfort her... and to tease Bingle who stood there, pretending she didn't give a damn to whatever was happening. "I'm really grateful," Jennifer continued using each and every sentence that she knew could mean thank you. Kagern didn't blame her for it. Though he was not a girl, he could understand what it was like to be dragged in a room by a man like Mr. Brooks. "It's okay!" he said, tapping her on the back. "He won't trouble you anymore."A few minutes later, Jennifer reluctantly pulled away from Kagern, staring at him with grateful teary eyes which were filled with admiration.Bingle stepped closer and comforted her, saying, "Go get some rest. The weekend team arrives soon, anyway."Golden Heart Hotel was a 24/7 business, but its workers were not robots. That's why there were two teams, one for the weekend and the other for the business days, all with their own nightshifters. Jennifer murmured a thank you and l

"Trying to make sure you won't escape again."Of all the answers, Kagern didn't expect to hear this. Bingle wore a lustful smile on her lips as she said these words, gently curling her hair with her right hand. Her gaze held his, giving the impression of a knight keeping an eye on a princess she swore to protect.No. It was more like she was afraid he would escape. "What do you mean?"Of course Kagern understood what she meant by not letting him escape. However, hearing the details would help him to make sure if she was just taking their flirty conversation to the next level or if she literally meant what she said.A chuckle escaped from her tempting lips, amused with his question. As if words would not answer him, she decided to use actions. She took a step toward him, loosening her nightgown. Kagern watched as it slid down her body, past her b. r. e. a. s. t. s as it rubbed against her fair skin that had now a somewhat of a c

This was a weekend before Triple M, so Kagern expected the Maze to be flocking with the academy students. It was the only destination for any person who wanted their outfits to impress, after all. However, meeting this particular pair wasn't among those expectations. He glanced at Erica, her last name sipping into his mind. Brooks.'What's with the Brooks fools trying to make my Friday a hell?'His encounter with Mr. Brooks back at the hotel was enough for him to avoid another abomination going by such a last name. Now that he has nothing to do about it, he gritted his teeth and spared her a glance. ‘Heavy makeup’ was the first phrase to cross his mind, then ‘expensive outfit.’ This made her less beautiful than Kagern remembered, complimented by a dress so revealing and indecent that some buildings or places would not allow her to enter. With a triumphant smile, she leaned against David like he was a wall, and the latter's hand was somewhere behind her, way lower than it should b

After these men with guns rushed out of the van, the scene outside the Maze became chaotic. Everyone ran aimlessly except Tharn and his men who quickly surrounded Kagern and Belinda to take them to safety.Their convoy was packed across the pavement, the reason why it took them a while to reach it. Kagern heard a few gunshots as Tharn pushed him into the car, bringing back the trauma of being hunted by gunmen back in Cereal City. This didn't stop him from looking out of the window, though. He wanted to see who had attacked them and why.Two two men holding a young woman came into his view. The woman was clad in a woman's suit, usually the one won by lawyers or formal people. One of the men tried to pull the briefcase she was holding onto as the other threatened her with the gun so she could let go of it. 'So, the attack was not directed to me?' To his surprise, he didn't feel relieved to know that. At least he had some bodyguards. How would that woman survive when she was on her
