Chapter 4 Meet Again (Part Two)

"Come on, follow me." Paul Ling's father was the CEO of Ling Group. He was a playboy and dated countless women. Although he was 28 years old and married, he still couldn't change his nature. What he loved to do most was dating new women. He had kept many mistresses.

"Let her go." A cold voice boomed across the room. Everyone in the room looked up at the man standing at the door and couldn't help but marvel. This man not only had an impeccable appearance, but also gave off the aura of a ruler.

Flora looked at the man standing at the door and felt relieved. It was the same person who comforted her that night.

William quickly took Flora away from Paul Ling, and the situation was reversed in an instant. Flora was held in William's arms that she could practically smell him. Somehow it made her relax.

William gave Paul Ling a cold and sharp stare. If Paul had been successful in forcefully kissing her, he would beaten the crap out of him by now. William knew Paul Ling and the other men in the room.

"Well, I wonder how your father will react tomorrow." After saying that, William put his arm around Flora's shoulder, turned around and walked out with her.

Paul Ling stood still for a moment. If anyone offended William, they would never end up on a good terms. He didn't expect that he would be so unlucky today. The woman he took a fancy to had something to do with William. Frustrated, Paul Ling returned to his seat.

Flora followed William's lead, leaning onto him. "Well, thank you again." Her voice sounded like cotton candy which gave people a feeling of warmth and sweetness.

William let go of Flora, looked down at her and said softly, "Wait for me." Without waiting for Flora's response, he walked towards his booth.

Flora leaned against the wall. She murmured to herself, "What's wrong with me? And why is he so gentle with me? Flora, what the hell are you doing?"

She tried her best not to knock her head on the wall out of frustration. When William came out of the room, he saw the drunk woman maltreating herself.

"Are you trying to commit suicide? It looks like very painful, right?" William chuckled. He found the girl in front of him cute and interesting.

Flora heard the voice and quickly turned around. As she watched him studying her, she felt embarrassed. She quickly broke the eye contact and lowered her head. "I'm not trying to commit suicide. I was just trying to get sobered up."

"What a good way to sober up!" William smiled. It was the first time that he had seen someone hit the wall with her head in order to sober up. "Anyway, let's go. It's getting late. I'll drive you home."

Flora was now sobered up a bit. But before she could say anything, the man had already walked down the stairs. She had to follow him. Even she herself didn't know why she was so obedient to this complete stranger.

At the door of restaurant, William stood, waiting for Flora. She was walking very slowly. Hearing the footsteps, he turned around and said, "I'll drive you back. Don't wander around alone. It's so late, and you're still drunk." William realized he sounded too harsh talking to her like that.

Flora was obviously depressed and nodded weakly. "I... Anne..." She couldn't finish her words and lowered her head. Although her face was hidden, William could tell that she was upset.

He felt frustrated. Why was he feeling this familiarity with this distressed strange girl whose name was still unknown to him? This was not good for him.

"Let's go." He took off his coat and put it on Flora. Then he opened the door of his car and got into it. Flora followed him and climbed into the passenger seat.

Flora received a text message from Anne's maid. She had been so drunk that she went straight to home and fell asleep. Flora quietly turned her head to look at the handsome stranger in the driver's seat. He was only wearing a sweater now. She looked down at herself and spotted the man's suit jacket on him. There was a faint fragrance of mint.

"Thank you. Every time when I am in trouble, it is always you helping me. My name is Flora Ye," Flora said. She really appreciated his help.

"My surname is Shen. And you are not going to tell me your address again. Right?" William glanced at her and thought, 'How could she be so simple-minded?'

Flora felt embarrassed, but she replied anyway, "Riverside Community."

In fact, Flora didn't really own a house in Riverside Community. It was a place that only the rich could afford. Anne knew that she had broken up with Ivan and had no place to live in now, so she asked her to live in her place.

William didn't say anything. He just wondered why he had never met her since she lived in Riverside Community. It was strange.

Flora sat in the car obediently as the car went on steadily. Leaning against the back of the seat, she closed her eyes and fell asleep at some point. A few strands of hair fell on her forehead.

William took a quick glance at her and saw the relaxed look on her face. His heart softened. Till now, no one had dared to sleep in his car so recklessly. More importantly, everyone around him knew that he had a rule that no one could sit in the passenger seat. But even he himself didn't understand why he allowed this woman to sit in the passenger seat.

William frowned for a moment before shaking off the weird feeling. He drove to Riverside Community. When the car arrived to the destination, she was still asleep.

Flora didn't know how she fell asleep so soundly in the car. For several nights in a row, she had never slept peacefully.

William parked the car and turned to look at Flora. She looked peaceful.

At least, she wasn't trying anything crazy. As long as she remained drunk, she would sleep soundly and wouldn't do anything out of line
