Chapter 47 Getting Harassed
“ You can put that down now. “ He comments and I put it down, rolling my eyes on the process.

“ Why are you here? “ I ask, annoyed.

“ I’m with a business associate. “ He replies, referring to the woman.

“ A woman?” I ask, raising my brow.

“ Well, that’s quite sexist of you to say. “ He replies back chuckling. His deep husky voice radiating in my ears.

“ I’m not being sexist, I’m just well aware of your reputation. “ I comment dryly.

“ Now get aside, my order has arrived. “ 

The waiter serves it on the table and I smile seeing my food. The aroma hits me and I grab the sandwich about to take the first bite.

“ This one has mushrooms. “ He points out.

I ignore him and take the first bite. I immediately sense the enormous amount of mushrooms present in it and leave it on the plate.

“ Told you. Why’d you order it if you don’t like mushrooms? “ He asks.

“ I didn’t read through the ingredients. It’s not my fault I was extremely hungry. “ I claim, eating my fruit said grumpily.

“ Haven’t you eaten anything till now? It’s evening now Emma. Did you even have breakfast? “ He bombards me with these questions, scolding me like a child.

Before I can answer him, the investor arrives.

“ Why is he here? “ He asks eyeing the investor suspiciously.

The investor in return greets Lucas warmly but Lucas just shrugs it off not paying much heed to him.

“ He is here to discuss some important thing with me. Things related to business. Things that do not concern you at all. “ I point out so that he can finally leave.

“ With a woman? “ He asks, scoffing.

Using my dialogue on me. I can’t even get offended on it now.

“ Get your brain cleaned. “ I utter.

“ I’m saying this because I am well aware of the reputation he carries. “ He states, right in front of the man.

“ Just leave. I asked you for help. Remember what you did? “ I remind him of how he touched me in the lift, of how he was no different than other men

He looks down, somewhat ashamed, and then finally leaves.

“ I’m sorry for that. “ I say, to the investor.

“ No worries. Do you know Mr Knight? Are…are you related to him in any way? “ He queries with uncertainty.

“ No, I do not know him. “ I lie.

“ Well Emma, I’ll be honest with you. No one sane enough will invest in your company. “ He states, disappointing me.

“ But I understand your situation. I feel like I can reconsider my decision…if you make some arrangements. “ He implies.

“ I’m sorry, what? “ I ask confused.

“ Let’s benefit from the station. You help me, I help you. It’s not new. A lot of women do that. “ He asserts, extending his hand forward to touch me.

Finally understanding his words, I look at him disgusted.

Without saying anything, I leave.

I go straight out of the restaurant and the pig follows me.

“ Don’t you dare come near me or I’ll call the police. “ I threaten, getting my phone out.

Everything right now disgusts me. 

The pig doesn’t step back and I call the cops. Before I can say a word, the pig snatches my phone.

“ Give me my phone back, because if you don’t not only will you be charged for harassment or even theft too. “ I threaten, but it has no impact on him.

It’s like he isn’t even afraid of the legal actions.

“ Give my girl her phone back. “ A voice booms from behind!
