I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 385

I struggled, but Steven only tightened his grip, my hand throbbing in his grasp. His face was a dark mask, his anger even more palpable than when I had confronted Verna. He seemed to be reining in a powerful rage, and without a word, he started pulling me outside.

"Steven, what are you doing?! Let go of me!"

Ryan stood frozen for a second before rushing after us. "Zephyra!"

Gordon quickly intercepted him. "Easy now. Mr. Lancaster would never hurt her!"

Ryan was genuinely furious. "That scumbag was just about to have her arrested!"

Gordon explained, "No, he wasn't. If Mr. Lancaster really wanted to call the police, he wouldn't have given the job to me. Please, trust the instincts of a top-tier executive assistant. I was just wandering around outside, pretending to be on the phone."

"??? Are you insane? Get lost!"

His impeccable upbringing was the only thing stopping him from punching Gordon. The commotion was now even louder than the earlier fight, and a waiter finally ran over to intervene.

"Please, stop! Gentlemen, calm down! The food is all ready. Why don't we have something to eat and cool off?"

"...You get lost too!"

Meanwhile, I was dragged out of the restaurant by Steven. He didn't take me far, just straight into the hotel across the street.

My heart hammered against my ribs. Why was he taking me to a hotel?!

"Steven, this is unlawful confinement! It's kidnapping! If the police show up, I'll have them arrest you first!"

The receptionist saw him and immediately greeted him with reverence. "Mr. Lancaster."

I yelled for help, and the receptionist looked on helplessly. "Mr. Lancaster?"

Steven's eyes were dark. "It's fine. We're just playing a game."
