"It's really you!" Summer hadn't seen Douglas for years. She didn't expect that they would meet again on such an occasion. Summer stepped forward and stood in front of Douglas.
In the past, Douglas was taller than her, and now she had to raise her head to see his face clearly.
She guessed that Douglas was almost as tall as Leonardo.
"Summer, stay here and wait for a moment. Now I have something to deal with. I'll treat you to a drink later." Douglas bent down slightly. He took her by the shoulders and pushed her to the side.
He was cool and calm. Summer could feel that he was as determined as Leonardo.
Douglas rolled up his sleeves and moved his neck before Summer uttered a word. He looked defiant and arrogant.
"You two come together. Let's make it quick!" The two young men were stunned by his manner, and they didn't dare to move.
Douglas was anxious to treat Summer a drink. He said to them impatiently, "Hurry up!"
Upon seeing that Douglas still wanted to fight with the two men, Summer frowned and called to him, "Douglas."
Douglas seemed to be stunned for a second, and then he turned around to look at her. He smiled broadly at her, "Summer, it's been a long time since I've heard your sweet voice."
Summer paused for a moment, and the two boys had already taken advantage of this opportunity to attack Douglas.
She exclaimed, "Watch out!"
Douglas regained his composure and quickly dodged the fists. His eyes glinted angrily and he suddenly became aggressive.
Although it was natural for a boy to be aggressive, Summer could feel that Douglas had changed a lot.
He had been a kind, enthusiastic boy. But now, his eyes revealed that he was not an innocent boy any more.
Seeing that Summer didn't move even when the three started to fight again, Jessica immediately walked to her and pulled her away from them. "What are you doing? They are fighting. Keep your distance from them."
Even if he fought with two men, Douglas still had the upper hand. But in Summer's impression, he was just a boy. Anyway, fighting was not good.
She turned to the bartender and said, "Where are the security guards?"
The bartender was a coward. Seeing that they were fighting again, he didn't dare to move. He looked at the door and said in surprise, "The manager comes!"
The manager came over and called for the others to mediate both sides.
However, Douglas was so aggressive that the other people felt afraid and didn't dare to step forward.
Summer didn't count on others. She wanted to walk forward but Jessica pulled her back. "You don't have to worry about Douglas. He won't invite big trouble. I observed them for a while and found that the two boys were not badly hurt. Don't worry!"
Jessica was right. Although Douglas attacked them aggressively, he didn't hit their vital organs, but they would feel very painful. He stopped fighting with them before security guards arrived.
Along with security guards, the general manager also came.
The manager did not know Douglas, but he knew Summer and Jessica. Both of them had a good relationship with his boss and now they were on Douglas' side.
Although the manager called the police, he tried to smooth things over. So Douglas just made statement at the police station as a mere formality.
When Douglas, Summer and Jessica went out from the police station, they saw Carl hurriedly pull over his car, got off and ran towards where they were.
