Chapter 4
Susie opened the door and saw the man on the bed staring coldly at her.
Matt twisted his bound wrists and said angrily, "It's so late, and you're just getting back? Where have you been all day?"
He'd been tied to the bed, unable to move, for over ten hours!
Susie felt that if Matt's wrists weren't tied with rope, he might rush over and strangle her.
She took a frightened step back and turned to close the door.
"Sorry," she said quietly, "I went to work today. It was a bit busy."
Matt snorted and said, "So you tied me up and left me stuck in this crappy house all by myself?"
Susie frantically searched for excuses, a flash of shame in her eyes. "I didn't want to tie you up. But if I let you go, I'm afraid you'd call the police right away and have me arrested. If the police arrest me, I'll lose my job."
Matt froze, then softened his tone. "When are you going to untie me? Let me go, and I definitely won't call the police."
Susie was still hesitating, her pretty eyes full of confusion.
She asked, "If I untie you, will you kill me?"
She remembered the terrifying tattoos covering his body when he came out of the bathroom after his shower last night, and looking at his muscular, tall frame, her fear only grew.
He looked so dangerous and scary. If she untied the rope, he would definitely take revenge on her!
Definitely!
Seeing Susie trembling, Matt couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Matt threatened coldly, "If you don't untie me, I'll sell you to... the island of Corsica to be a slave for the locals."
He'd originally wanted to say he'd sell her to Mexico, but remembering her ex-boyfriend situation, he paused and changed his mind.
Hearing this, Susie became even more scared.
She bit her lip and whispered an apology, "I'm sorry, I can't untie the rope."
She couldn't, and she didn't dare.
Matt frowned, and just as he was about to curse, he suddenly froze.
Because Susie pulled out a lunch box giving off a delicious smell from her bag, along with a bottle of refreshing apple juice.
"You brought me a nice dinner?" Matt remembered what Roddy had said and couldn't help but smile.
Her good friend was right.
Susie really did bring him food when she came home.
Susie opened the lunch box. Inside was a steaming plate of pasta with a generous heap of meat sauce on top.
"I especially went to that restaurant on the corner to buy this. It's really good." She held up the lunch box carefully.
Her eyes were bright, as if asking for praise.
A cheap dinner.
As a Mafia boss, he'd eaten all kinds of gourmet food.
Matt glanced at the food, not interested.
But seeing Susie's smile in front of him, he still shut his mouth and didn't voice his complaints.
Susie sat down by the bed and slowly opened the lunch box, apparently still not planning to untie him.
"Are you planning to feed me yourself?" Matt raised an eyebrow.
Susie nodded slowly. She had to ensure her own safety.
She took out a fork and gently fed him.
"Is it good?" Susie asked expectantly.
It wasn't as bad as he'd imagined.
Matt glanced at her and swallowed the second bite she offered.
"What's your job?" Matt asked.
Susie bit her lip and answered softly, "Locomotive engineer. I help customers fix their bikes."
Sounds cool.
He chuckled, looking at her thin, delicate frame, unable to imagine her riding a motorcycle.
Seeing him finish the pasta completely, Susie continued to help him drink the apple juice.
"Susie, you seem to really enjoy tying me up and feeding me." Matt's tone was meaningful.
Susie froze and quickly explained, "No, I just want to make it up to you. I tied you in the room all day today, and you didn't eat anything."
Suddenly, she realized something and asked in surprise, "How do you know my name?"
Susie tried hard to recall that crazy night, finally confirming her thought.
She definitely hadn't introduced herself to him.
Matt's eyes held a hint of amusement. "Your good friend Roddy came by today."
Roddy came by? She saw a man tied up in her room.
Realizing this, Susie's cheeks immediately flushed red. She asked hesitantly, "Does Roddy know everything?"
Matt lay on the bed, looking at her sideways.
A sly smile played at the corner of his lips. "Yeah. In her eyes, I've become your tied-up boyfriend. She even made me lunch herself."
"Tied-up boyfriend? No, she misunderstood." Susie immediately wanted to deny it. Now not only were her cheeks red, but her ears too.
"I'm single right now, and I have no plans to find a boyfriend."
Seeing the girl's shy appearance in front of him, Matt felt especially pleased.
He gestured with his chin toward his lower body and said, "My little girlfriend, your tied-up boyfriend needs to pee now. Hurry up and untie me."
Susie hesitated for a few seconds, but still didn't agree.
She turned and grabbed an empty drink bottle, saying awkwardly, "Use this."
Matt looked at the narrow bottle opening, his face darkening.
He glared angrily at Susie. "That opening is way too small. You'd need one at least ten times bigger!"
